Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

[Doomonkey]

this game sounds super duper fun but everything ive seen tutorials about this game is like

"PRESS ENTER"
"FIND THE MAGICAL STATUE OF THE HOLY GOD SHINZUJUMARASARA"
"PRESS CTRL + C + W + 3 + NUMLOCK"

Try learning adventure mode, as it is much easier than fortress mode. You will get the hang of the games graphics and will be more prepared to do fortress mode.

My best base yet everything is working so smoothly!

The mayor is throwing a tantrum. Everything is not running smoothly.

You have a wood stockpile that's not being made into barrels, being made into beds, burning, or being made into crafts to trade to elves. Everything is not running smoothly.

[Block Box]

you guys are smart

[Frontrox]

You don't have a lava water fall!

Everything is not running smoothly!

[Jacob/Lee]

There is a corpse lying on the floor! He should be on his bed! Everything is not running smoothly!

The outside is a little... hostile so I was keeping large wood stocks if anything big came up.

This is the outside:

That muck rains down from the sky almost 24/7 and if anyone gets it on themselves it causes their entire body to blister up.

Edit: Does anyone know how to calm a large fortress of angry dorfves? Not like that's a problem or anything.
It's not like two werebison were a problem or anything.

Designate a single square zone as "Garbage Dump" in some corner out the way (Zone key is i)
Use hit "d" whilst aiming at a stone in "k" to dump it.
The dwarves will them dump infinite stone into that one space.
Works with everything. Claim anything you want back by going to the zone and scrolling down the list and pressing "d" again.

Alternatively, make some catapults and set them to "fire at will". 10 points for each animal you kill, 100 points for every goblin you 'accidentally' decapitate. Good training for seige engineers too.

[Jacob/Lee]

Turn them into pots at a craftsdwarf's workshop. All the usefulness of a slightly heavier barrel minus the use of dangerous-to-cut wood.

[Corbiere]

Then dump 'em :)

Actually that's a pretty good way to train stonemasons.

Yeah I did.

I'm pretty sure Santa came to my fort.
