Dwarf Fortress

[dUMBELLS]

The graphics on this game give me a headache, I have no clue what I am doing, I read the guide and everything but how is one supposed to know exactly what an npc looks like and trees, monsters, things like that.

I like the game, but how do I get my dwarves to go inside ):

[Bushido]

press I (P?) to get zones

make a meeting zone

your dwarves will wander over to the meeting area



immigrants will go to this area too

[Shocklink]

il try it out but im doing homework and such

[Anti-Cop]

Get a graphics pack to help you see what is going on...

i is zones, p is stockpiles.

[Shocklink]

Also really frustrating and fun.

i like to point this out to everyone
and where do i get the Graphic expansion?

How do I select an item that is in my carpenter's workshop currently?

I have read the guides.

Also, how do I create tunnels and mines.

[Anti-Cop]

Make a place for it to be put, stuff in buildings is not acessible yet(except to dwarves who need it).

Faugh, this is better.

Make a place for it to be put,

I don't get what you mean. I tried making a furnitrue stockpile, but I still couldn't figure out how to select it.

[Shocklink]

[Anti-Cop]

Explain what you are trying to do, please.

Shock : uh, read instructions?

[Rellow]

That was supposed to be the + key.

[BlockBuilderMan]

Explain what you are trying to do, please.

I am trying to mine a cave. How do I do this if there is no cliff around?

[Anti-Cop]

Rellow : nice cut off image.


BBM : Down stairs, then directly below them (go down one z-level) make up stairs.  Then you will be able to dig out under the surface.
