  • Typically I would be in favour of seeing yaks on a vacation, but this time, this time was different.

    Without my notes and my recordings this video is a little bit different. This fortress was a ton of fun though so I had to find a way to document it!

      and i hope you return to it too its clearly got a story that needs to be recorded into DF history.

    As a new player, it's really cool and beneficial to see these stories. Gives a bit of meaning and context to the whole "losing is fun" that gets thrown around. Thanks for uploading this!

      Yeah, its just how things play out sometimes. You'll have plenty of forts that can go on forever but just as many that die within the first few years over something catastrophic lol

    I spit coffee all over my desk in laughter when that kitten reenacted the intro to Vampire Hunter D across the ascending drawbridge. Harrowing and adorable!

    Short, sweet and another great story condensed into just the right amount of time.

    Fantastic video as always. Love the variety of fortress concepts I've seen you tackle.
    It's refreshing to finding Dwarf Fortress content at the moment that isn't just an introduction to the game - but rather just jumping right in.
    I've turned notifications on for this channel - keep up the great work!

    i had the same thing happen when i sent 50 unarmed dwarfs with my armed squad against an undead siege and now have 30 heavily injured dwarfs both undead and barely alive stacked ontop of each other in a newly assigned hospital.

    Protip: Don't build your levers to shut gates right beside the gates! Getting close to said lever will bring the enemy towards you which is probably not what you want. Instead I typically put them near a room with many dwarves in it deep in the fortress, and typically have a door in front of them so I can lock it if needed.

    I've been playing on a volcano island myself. My first time playing. I'm having a hard time having fun. There is an edge of the summit that towers even over the pool of lava, my dwarves call this hollowed out edge home. above it is a another flat plain many trees. I made around 50 bed rooms and that is practically all i had been doing as my population kept doubling out of nowhere, I was able to keep my dwarves fed with a single moderate farm patch and gathering. No water source but practically endless alcohol, more than we could carry anyway. However in the middle of my base, despite all ends being sealed and no gap existing above or below Giant crows and albatross spawn out of nowhere in droves and always end up killing a dwarf or two before they are subdued. I cannot figure why it is happening and there's no reason it should they literally appear directly in the middle of the massive wave of bedrooms hallway. Dwarves die of dehydration despite having all they could ever want to drink, and the game is so broken you can steal a caravans entire stock by deconstructing your trading depo after they unload their goods. Not that trading is too difficult anyway as I was quickly adapted into the past time of selling crutches.

    Be Warned: I have heard that if you retire and then unretire a volcano fortress there is a glitch that changes the z level of the magma in the volcano, potentially causing it to "erupt" and cover most of the surface with lava.

    Glad i found your channel really like how you tell the little stories loads of fun and ideas, I see you also played it pre steam. As a new player i was wondering what you think of this version, You had a video of you as a dwarf going around looking at you old forts, Was that adventure mode as it look cool to visit places.

    • @hoodiehair
      @hoodiehair  ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you, yeah I played it pre-steam and there are a couple things that I miss from that version - alerts, being able to look at reports and announcements whenever I want, having all the keybindings memorized - but overall the new version is great.
      That was adventure mode in that video and I'm very excited to see what they do with adventure mode when they eventually add it to the steam version!

    I love these little stories, and although I don’t have the time (nor the money, thanks to chrostans shopping ;) )to play Dwarf Fortress, I started understanding some mechanics of the game. Have you tried making a tiktok account and posting some shorts there? It might help getting some traffic to your channel, since these videos tend to go viral pretty fast :))

    I planned on buying df since august, but my only impediment were the controls, so I'll train first on the new UI update and then next year I'll buy it as fas as I can.
    Lovelly video, as someone here said, your videos just jumping right into the game are quite refreshing since I already saw a couple of introductory videos. You are my favourite dwarf fortress youtuber

    werelama attack my fort, slowly everyone turn into a werelamma, my Militia got destroyed, except my militia commander, she killed them all, the brutally of the battle turned her into a savage with unbreakable will, and legendary combat skill, now she lead a new generation of immigrants my fort goes on.

  • @brennantmi5063
    @brennantmi5063 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you don't want one bar to take one space in a stockpile you can enable bins. Unlike Rimword you don't need massive stockpiles if you use bins. Of course then you get bin bugs but whats a little bugs in a dwarf fortress game.

    • @hoodiehair
