3/9/2023 0 Comments Dwarf fortress stockpileNext tutorial we’re also going to have our first close look at our dwarfs, but not until after we build ourselves a nice new farm and ensure we are overflowing with food (and food goods to produce booze out of). And what’s the first thing they do? Eat and drink! Slacker bastards! This has me a little concerned about our food stocks, and if this has happened to you, I suggest you do what I do and sort out some more booze and dig some more bedrooms downstairs and assign those new dwarfs to it. Soon after the message a stream of new loafers streak into the fortress. Speaking of which… Look what the cat dragged in!Īt some point you’re going to get immigrants. I suggest you make an effort to trade as trading encourages new immigrants to come to your fortress and provides you with items you can’t make or find yourself. Note again, do not trade anything wooden to the elves, including wooden barrels and bins! They will get pissy, leave, and attack you some years later! Trading is beyond the scope of this current tutorial as there’s quite a lot to it, but you can read a lot more about it on the Dwarf Fortress Wiki. Once he turns up you hit “t” and then enter the trade screens. To trade with them you “q” over the building and follow the options: “g” to move goods to the trade depot, and “r” to request your boss dwarf to go do the trading. Now that we have the depot up we can expect to see traders turn up to unload their goods here now and then. Once the space is dug out, hit “b” and then “D” for “Trade Depot”, note, that’s a capital-d, not the usual lower case “d”. Often people build them close to the fortress entrance, but there’s no reason you couldn’t build a trade depot deep inside your fortress to keep it nice and safe.įor now, we’re going to enlarge the space we have upstairs with a little digging and get this depot set up. This is a big structure which requires a 3-wide corridor for the trader wagons to access. Rock mugs and instruments are popular as well, so get a bunch made of all of the above when you’ve got the time.īut for the traders to visit properly they need a trade depot. And the easiest crafts to trade are rock ones. They offer a wide range of goods and one of the most common things we trade back to them is crafts made from the craftsdwarf’s workshop. Every few months you’re likely to get a trade caravan and envoy arrive at your fortress looking to trade with you. Trading is very important for your fortress. Let everything clear and we’ll go on to trade depots! Blankets, beads, muskets and cat skull totems! This should be easy-peasy for you now! Your next job is go to upstairs and remove the food stockpile and the still. Then build a still downstairs using “b”, “w”, “l”. Once that digging is done, set up the big food storage hall as a food stockpile. Hell, lets move the food downstairs as well and keep it nice and close to the dining room, where dwarfs are going to want to eat it. Of course, we have many options for how we expand the fortress, but we’ll go for simple right now, so lets get shifting stuff.īefore we head on to the trade depot, lets get get on with some digging and our new booze space. I want to set up a trade depot upstairs and I’ve decided I don’t want to leave the depot outside, and I don’t want to dig out any more of our limited top-floor space just now. Things are looking good! But we have yet more useful jobs to do.įirst up, we need to move our booze production down stairs. I’ve also got piles everywhere, workshops set up and food and booze production going. Don’t worry, once bins are produced the dwarfs will sort all this out. Looks like I haven’t made much in the way of bins yet, so the crafts haven’t been tidily stored in a single bin. …Lots of Crafts! I’ve gone through and completed all of the tasks at the end of Tutorial 3, and to prove it, here is a picture of my pile of crafts. If you look below, you’ll see I have…ĮXXTREEEEEME Home Makeover: Dwarf Edition! No nancying around, lets get right back into it! I hope you’ve diligently completed your homework. Welcome to Part 4 of the Dwarf Fortress Complete Newby tutorial. I’ve written a book – Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress, available at O’Reilly and Amazon! It covers the current version and takes you from knowing nothing to being a confident Dwarf Fortress player!
