Additionally in the Kitchen menu you might want to prevent booze from being cooked. Because yeah, they'll make biscuits out of beer if you let them. Just dwarf things.
Mine keep making stews out of two types of drink and fruit from the forest xD my supply hasn't gone bad in years and I can only imagine how strong the stuff is now
OH MY GOD! NOW I KNOW WHERE ALL MY FUCKIN BEER IS GOING! PLUS I had some "Kea" or whatever Stealing my Biscuits, Weapons, all sorts of shit. i swear, my poor Dwarves go through more shit than real people do!
@@Glitch-Gremlin kea, and naked mole dogs. Two of the most annoying shits.
How do you do that? I don't see a menu for it. Do you just assign it to a stockpile that doesn't have booze?
@@matthewnorris5370 labor menu>kitchen you should have a list of stockpiled ingredients that they pick from. And whether or not they can cook with it.
One thing I learned about zoning is that if you're trying to raise the value of a zone by detailing walls you have to add the wall to the zone too.
One of my dwarves wanted a decent study so I detailed the walls but the value wasn't going up, then I realized I only zoned the inside of the room and not the wall so it wasn't taking it into account. Then I zoned the wall and the value instantly rose up to Decent study.
Thank you for this tip!
A relatively important part you skipped while trading: the liaison will also tell you of things he wants next year, so to maximise profitability take careful note of these items!
It's usually easiest to buy/sell the whole bin if its contents are mostly tradeables: bins are quick to make & hence replace. CAVEAT: if you wish to trade with elves for eg exotic pets, be sure the bin & all of its contents are /not/ made from wood or wood-derived items such as eg anything smelted (which uses coal, which is ultimately derived from wood)
Most of your starting lvl is peat, which is an excellent floor type for farming to maximise your crop yields!
15:17 Dwarves can learn from reading books; they're particularly useful for training up management, entertainment & social skills as well as the more esoteric stuff such as eg geometry for architects, mathematics for brokers, or the teaching skills. Eventually, if your teachers are skilled enough, they can write books themselves leading to an increase in your fort's reputation & fame (& hence increasing your noble's path to becoming the ruler of your whole civilisation), leading to more & better-skilled visitors' joining petitions
26:00 Artefact (ie strange-mood-produced) items can be made from anything, even materials that wouldn't normally be able to be used in the construction of that item. So you /can/ have eg a gold sword or similar produced by a moody dwarf; you just can't make it with regular orders
So what would be an example of an acceptable bin for the elves?
@@themadichib0d Anything made of rock (except jet: that's a wood derivative) or possibly gold/platinum nuggets (ie unrefined). Anything that's smelted is out, so that's almost all metals, coal ore(s), & ofc wood itself
@@snafu2350 Gotcha, last played DF like over a decade ago and returning with the steam release, so trying to learn everything all over again lol
@@themadichib0d actually i'm pretty sure you can sell them smelted goods, regardless of if they're made from charcoal or not
I love how you realised that Uvash "looked a little different than before" because you had the wrong Dwarf selected earlier lol
Loving the series, and can't wait to start my first Fortress after watching your vids
This series is once again extremely helpful in taking my long trepidation about the game and the overall complexity and making it stick, and I've had two forts succumb to cave denizens and I was excited to get to start a third. Getting to the point where I'm dying from the game but not my own managing incompetence feels great!
These guides have convinced me to give the steam edition a go. I've been aware of Dwarf Fortress basically since the beginning, but it always looked so baffling, even knowing what I was looking at would've required lots of study and been a feat in itself. So I always wrote it off as an incredibly fascinating piece of interactive art but one that was far beyond my capability to even begin to fathom, much less play. So when I heard it was getting a steam edition with a proper visual tileset, mouse support, and more accessible UI, I was somewhat intrigued but still felt that the level of complexity in the game based on everything I've heard and seen of it would still be beyond me. But watching these, I gotta say, it just looks so damn cool, I have to give this a good honest try. Going to try and follow some of the tips in your guides as well as go through the in-game tutorials, and just try to take things slow at first, not worry too much about knowing everything. I'm actually kind of excited to try it out now. So ya know, thanks for the inspiration and all. If you feel like doing more tips and tricks videos or beginner guides like this, that would be really awesome too. One minor thing, you do talk a bit quickly and go over a lot of information fast sometimes, so maybe slow it down just a tiny bit, would make the guides a little easier to follow, but otherwise great content.
Not going quite so fast may also help Nook with not missing crucial stuff as he's done in the first episode (& prolly will again!) :)
I'm in a similar boat, have you tried it by now?
This was me, too. Now I love this game. Happy earth striking!
I was expecting to get stuck more while playing, but the game really does flow well and you don't really need things to be explained too much, very complicated systems yet simple to use and learn initially, loving it
Absolutely cackled when they unveiled the statue, and it was a golden statue of lizards.
I love this game, thank you for making it easier for us newbies to get into it!
Thanks for the great tutorial!
I hope this series continues, as there is still a lot I am struggling with.
Would be most interested in seeing more about:
Fluid Mechanics (Aquifers/Magma)
Good Mining Techniques
Defences (Fortifications covering doors and maybe a few traps)
Making these Videos is probably quite the effort, but if you find the time its very much appreciated.
I think I'll need to do another, covering things like bridges, cisterns, wells, etc. Oh yeah, I probably need to spend a lot more time covering military...
@@Nookrium That would be awesome! Really looking forward to the next one then :)
You explain things so well. Not too complicated or too simple. Please keep this series going!
You should be on the payroll. You are good at this. You give detailed explanations that get right to the point instead of going off on wild tangents like many guides do. This is a huge help. Now how about aquifers?
Avoid them until you’re really good at controlling water pressure via diagonal flow.
@@CptSnarkyPants I recommend using an N+1 schematical design leveraging De' Louverns Theory. Make sure you use prime magma dump nozzles otherwise you will create an irriversable loop-lapse.
@@rbfishcs123 To a first-timer like me, none of that makes any sense.
I don’t even have plans of playing this, I’m just enjoying watching you explain this game.
Pleaaaase keep going with this. It is SOOOOO helpful. Games like this have such a massive barrier to "the good stuff" in its learning curve. People like you help SOOO much with that. Please keep it goingggg :)
You're killing it with these guides, man. I tried Dwarf Fortress a couple years ago and was easily overwhelmed. Just got it on steam last night and these guides are exceedingly helpful.
Thank you for this series! As you said in the previous video, not everyone can just read a FAQ and get into it -- keep up the great work!
You keep apologizing for taking so long to make these videos but I absolutely love every second of them. Thank you for your hard work. Strike the Earth!
Thanks for this series. It's made my first go at Dwarf Fortress a lot more "fun" and I love the red tail hawk that's constantly screeching
As a newcomer to this game, this games depth is utterly insane... Ive restarted so many times because of new things popping up, love this game so far!
This was so incredibly helpful. As part of the stream bandwagon playing for the first time this was an essential guide!
Absolutely love these guides, you've convinced me to buy the game where I was a bit concerned it would be too difficult. Hope to see more of these as they make the game more accessible :)
thank you for your work on this, it probably feels very simple but trust me you're saving dwarves here!
I have been playing Dorfortress for some time now. I dabbled a bit until one day I ran across your reeeeally old tutorials. You and captain duck. I then played more heavily since, learning more on my own. I stopped playing about a year ago, just not as interested as much and playing other games. I usually watch your videos for new games to play. I am happy you are doing new tutorials on the Steam version! A nice refresher for me, but helpful to the newbies who are more apt to play with the polished tile-set.
Thanks for the help getting going and hope to see more from you. Tips and additional adventures.
Great series, Nook!! Very Helpful indeed!
really appreciate these videos dude, did not know where to start until I watched these
Love the videos Nook! Thanks again for putting these together!
I've played Gnomoria, RimWorld, ONI, etc. Dwarf fortress has always been a little bit out of my reach for complexity. This guide has been EXTREMELY helpful to get started. Thank you very much, and I'm looking forward to the next videos in the series.
I wasn't expecting a part 2! hell yeah
best guide i found so far i feel like i now have a basic understanding and can enjoy the game. Thanks! Please Continue.
easy to follow and fun to watch. great videos Nookrium. keep it up!
Good Job. Hope to see more. Been eagerly awaiting the steam release, hope to see if its as good as I suspect it will be. Keep up the good work.
So with the work order, assuming things work the same as they do in the original game. The conditions are only for whether or not a job should restart. The work order will always make the amount specified in the order. So in your example, once you drop below 50 food, the work order will start for 75 food bringing you up to 125. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure the work orders will not stop halfway through.
This is correct
Yup, I think I explained that wrong. You're right
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for helping obtain a better grasp of the game
This videos are a great help for us coming back to DF after many.. MANY years!
thanks Nook for the guide!
This was so helpful! I had a shrine that I just could not get to be a Temple. Instruments and statues would not raise it above 1000 for me. Now I know I just needed more valuable pieces in there. Thank you!
great stuff! I learned a lot.
You're very calming to watch!
"You'll need metal gear"
*gasps in Diamond Dogs*
Refuse piles, miasma, traps. Guard doggo near the doors to spot thieves. Can't wait for the nobles to arrive :) Tutorial fort indeed
great video!
I was thinking about buying the game during the first video and halfway through this one I have decided I will. I remember way back in like 2013-14 when I was 11 or 12 I found out about DF from YT, I think it was a top 10 most difficult games type vid or something lol. I wanted to play it but my pathetic laptop couldn't handle it, along with it being so daunting of course.
When I saw that it was announced for Steam (I think from Vinesauce Joel) I was so excited. Now nearly a decade later I will finally play it, thank you for the tutorials.
Thanks for the tutorials! Wanted to play for years, I love RimWorld so I get the gist of it, but these are a great help
I was slaughtered by an undead warrior group before I made it to autumn. They slaughtered everyone quickly and without mercy.
Well except for one elderly dwarf lady. She returned from gathering herbs to see a battle group occupying the upper layers of the mines.
She was ran down by the undead crossbowman soon after
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorials of yours. I love that you just ecplain the absolut nessesary to survive and leave us still the option to discorver everything. Take my sub and grow like the plump helmets in my fortress
You: I commission a golden statue
Dwarf: I commemorate this lizard
Awesome series
Thank you for this please keep making them if you have the time :)
Love the series!
Thank you so much for these videos
Awesome another one thank you!
Helpful series. thanks!
I would just like to say thank you. I didn't learn as much as I hoped from both video's but the plump helmet being eaten was wiping me out over and over. I rarely watch "educational" video game stuff but I was truly suffering. :o/ Thank you so much!
The manager needs an office to work as soon as you get to a fortress population of at least 20. Each task to craft bolts will craft 25 at once (i think). You tasked your dwarf to craft 2500 bolts.
Another enjoyable and informative video, keep it up please.
Amazing video series! Thanks a lot!
I'd really love to watch more of these!
TH-cam does a bad job of showing the next part but I have 5 all together, here’s the next part:
th-cam.com/video/mVk25DL0f-Y/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for these videos, they are very helpful.
Well, first time ever playing by following your tutorial and the ingame one. Things are pretty laid-back in my fortress so far except for the random possessions that keep happening. Two adults have been possessed and they ended up going berserk and had to be put down. One's severed head was buried along with her corpse and the other had to have her severed leg buried with her. Two children have become possessed and keep making what appear to be legendary scepters. The scepters are hard to locate, though, so I'm not sure of their craft quality, but they are ornate from what I can tell. And the dogs just won't stop having puppies!
Thanks for this tutorial series, it's extremely helpful!
Didn't even no there was a part 2 etc, best tutorial on youtube
If only there was some sort of search function right above the inventory to find those sweet, sweet plump helmets hella fast ;)
Keep up the great work!
Got annoyed scavenging through wikis and articles while playing so I decided to look up a beginners video. These help a lot thanks!
The learning curve in this game is crazy
Would love to see a Combat tutorial, this has been super helpful so far thank you for all the tips
Yes please, keep going with this serie!! Un saludo desde España, (greetings from Spain!) This game is double dificult for non English speaking people. Thanks a lot!!
Great series please continue! If I had one request it would be how to set up defensive positions for your fortress. I saw there are fortifications and draw bridges with pits under them but haven't quite figured out the placing of them.
Through part 2....let's gooooo
This man kind of sounds like Will Hines and that's very comforting to me
I prefer 3x3 stairs with the center being a regular floor. I place artifacts in the center space to help keep dwarves in a good mood.
That’s a really good idea.
Thanks for this series! Just started playing at a friend's recommendation and I am on my first play through.
The first dwarven death at my fort was a child. I quickly squaded up five archers and started looking for the 'thing', while I set the rest of my occupants to build a halls of the dead. The only thing my archers found was my legendary inscriber outside. Which to me was very very odd. Then a bit later some of my live stock were being killed, but this time I was notified that it was an agitated yak doing the fighting. I rush my squad over.. Bam! Just my inscriber chilling out at the crime scene. Didn't that guy make a useless legendary mug from coal? Now this!!
Wereyak! There is just no other reasonable explanation.
So I watched your first guide shortly after launch and it was fantastic for a beginner, save the whole seeds thing, I did end up cooking all my plump helmet spawn... but I think I've aged though enough that I'm ready to dig deeper into managing my dwarves, so I'm excited to watch the rest of this series!
In addition to that, go to the drinks tab and make sure they’re not cooking the booze also!
When you were like oh no they forgot to stop cooking plump helmets too, at the caravan i lost it idk why maybe cause its 5am lolol
I wouldnt mind if you continued this series its really helpfull and I think theres way more to learn ^^ . Like how to make a drawbridge ??
Also is there a way to get info in game about all the objects ? Like if you find hematite how do you know what it is and what it does, is it heavy ? Is it pretty ? Etc
Thanks for explaining it so even dummies understand
It would be cool if you also made this tutorial series into a full playthrough with this world :) Whatever a full playthrough might entail.
I still didn’t get how to put stuff inside chests :/ loving your DF tutorials! Keep it going, plz!
I was thinking about restarting since I didn’t have a river but thank god you explained to to stop my dwarves from cooking plump helmets
Sorry about that, I really should have mentioned that in the first one
Thanks! I'm enjoying watching these. Tried my first game and after 5 hours everyone got wiped out with undead attackers XD
nice one
man @31:10 making your butcher the doctor had me cranking up.
Please, keep going, i want to learn more about Farming / Animals / Fishing
These are super helpful thank you. I got things up and running but then had a were monitor attack. He was easily slain but I forgot what Were means and now all my leaders and the children are now dead.
But I'm attracting humans who want to join for "soldiering". So heroes are abound I guess.
Thanks again
So quick and easy thing I found to set up for the traders the first year? Cut and set the jewels in the figurines you make if you have the time, I ended up with almost 9000 worth of goods thanks to that in the first year, though I got lucky in that a migrant came who was a decent jewel crafter
I don't mind you going over the time limit. It's very interesting and informative.
Excellent series, really fantastic for knowing what to do just getting started!
I've got to ask though, can you please check the description of Zursulgigin, the gold warhammer that was made by the first fey mood at ~30 minutes? One of my favourite things is reading the insane descriptions of the fey mood artefacts, and I'm so curious about it!
your tutorials make the game so much easier. thanks man!
thank you
I'd be down for more dwarf videos.
Definitely need to keep making these. There are SO many things that are not explained in the game, and the wiki or other guides are tricky because it's the old version, thus visual explanations from those is like looking at Matrix code scrolling by lol I've got about 50+ dwarfs in my current setup, after FINALLY being able to build a aqua duct/reservoir/well because my fortresses kept dehydrating. Now I'm just completely overwhelmed trying to meet their needs and it feels like no one wants to do anything promptly except mine. So many work orders and tasks that no one seems to get around to. And yes, I do have the manager + office setup. They actually just elected a Mayor so now I have to build a big, nice throne/quarters area for him. I have zero military/training/weapons or anything setup. There's just so much to do that I can't seem to get caught up!
Keep the booze flowing, there shouldn't be any dehydration as long as you keep the brewer running.
Also, for the first few forts I would try to focus on specific parts and forget the rest. It can get pretty overwhelming so it's best to just focus on a few areas (sustaining food/drinks/seeds for instance)
@@Nookrium Wheres the fun in that?! 😆 But yea, at least for the military, I just meant anyone who can fight. Just had my first monster show up: An Ettin! I panicked, because I haven't fought anything real yet, but I got a few people together and wow.. The Mayor lead the charge and reading it was like the scene with Achilles in Troy! He dodged every single attack and just kept poking away with his spear hahaha Anyway, I've just built a nice Barracks area. I can't go any deeper for now because of an aquifer. Just started making iron etc. So many questions about everything.
Well I didn't expect my best playthrough so far to be taken over by a horde of angry yaks that the kids agitated lol. Fun game ^-^
Good method
“Horses don’t do anything” LOL
The thing moves along pretty fast so I am having trouble finding where you talk about setting Plump Helmets so that they're not cooked. Need those seeds.
I only watch this drunk because dwarf Fortress is interesting, so please keep this going to satiate my drinking habits :D
I didn't know about the demands by clicking the workshop and my dwarf completely lost it! Took off all of his cloths and starting to wondering in the bar babbling stuff. He died short after. D: And that's how I lost my expedition leader on one of my previous forts. xD The one I have right now is a complete chaos! D: And I lost almost all my military forces on the first siege. So, I believe I will start a new one.
Educational vid. Resubscribed.
Thank you for the series. Could you please cover the worldmap activity, lever mechanisms, caverns, guildes, raids, war, all a bit advanced stuff
It'll take a bit to get there since a lot of that is a bit more advanced. I'm trying to keep things from getting too overwhelming for new folks.
However, I know they're long videos but my streamed fort: th-cam.com/video/GWxkLkRbYd4/w-d-xo.html covers all of that. Even getting into a war and attempting to conquer and occupy a goblin fort (on part 3)
@@Nookrium Thank you. I'll definitely check that out. You doing a great job with this content btw)
