no thanks

yes thanks

How often do raids happen? I'm doing my first fort and have literally not had to do combat even once after a year and a half

>>723889228
>20% to Kitfox for the privilege of them sticking you in front of a camera and reading a script and having them write steam updates
Great job Toady you retarded faggot

>>723890184
Depends on how far you are from a goblin settlement/ dark tower and the value of your fort. If you are more valuable than just a few goblino settlements than you are prime meat. Hope your anus is ready for the siege update because sieges about to become bain of durin type battles

>>723890184
Depends.
There are wealth/population triggers, but your position on the map and amount of enemy factions in the neighborhood also impacts the intensity and frequency. If you settled in a isolated area, you might as well be playing with invasions disabled, because nobody can reach you.

>>723889394
Just dig a moat and watch the invaders drown themselves while trying to burrow to your fort

>>723890586
>Just dig a moat

>>723888581 (OP)
the steam version overlay, ui, menue mechanics ruined the entire game. last true df is 0.47.05. i legit can only return if they give back the original handling

>>723890459
I just kept playing after the tutorial I hope that didn't turn off invasions somehow

also I can't fucking see what's around me because the world map is way too small and there doesn't seem to be a way to zoom in

>>723890759

>>723890310
To be fair with Toady, he is literaly paying all that money to not have to deal with legal stuff, marketing, HR of hiring artists/sound people, and having to project manage them, since he is too much of a sperg to deal with all of that.
If it wasnt for that I would agree with you. But we are talking about the guy who freaked out on first job due and tried to smoke meth because of it.

>>723890942
he didnt try to, he actually did do meth lmao. he also made a left wing terror themed text game

What's the last good version of DF

>>723891365
what's wrong with a little metharooski?

>>723891365
LCS is a funny gaem.

>>723891534
In ~ten days, check on /dfg/ and I will tell you.

>>723891365
You talk like a 14-year old.

>>723890586
They can now dig though anon

Do you need to be a grand wizard of autism to enjoy this shit? How many hours does it take to forget that you're looking at ASCII? I've tried multiple times but it simply doesnt stick with me.

>>723895179
no
just get used to it

>>723891365
And that game is hilarious

>>723895179
The ASCII is clearer than the graphical mode by far.

>still no animations on all the sprites
AI exists
>inb4 AI derangement syndrome retards

>>723895179
Don't bother, once you get passed the great filter the gameplay is actually dry as hell unless you go out of your way to experiment. Even then the game gets too complex for it's own good and before long you have to start a new world when it stops loading

>>723895627
morning saaaar another great day in mubai

This fort is just about to be retired. I've done everything except open hell. Flattened and carved the top of a mountain peak next to a volcano and it's been a pretty sweet spot. Forges running hard on all the good metals. Steel gold silver for days.

>>723895831
I'm ashamed to say that the nobles were treated exceptionally well this fort. Even the one that constantly demanded useless ballista parts be made.
My expedition leader and now long time mayor has a thing for silver sarcophaguses.
The king who only recently moved in is a completely talentless dwarf with no social skills who was clearly babied his whole life.
My duke was initially my broker and has mastered weaponsmithing/farming/stone + bonecrafting. Probably the fort mvp in terms of value generated.

>>723896572
Nobles quarters here woops.

>>723895179
I've been playing DF for 50 years and never bothered with the ASCII. just use tilesets or get the new steam graphics version

>inb4 but the ASCII graphics actually contain more information per tile
yeah but who cares when you can just pause and examine things at any time if you need the additional info

is there a legendviewer/ tileset for the latest version of classic DF?

>>723895179
it's only as complicated as you make it. making a safe and sustainable fort is actually not hard at all.
>dig a hole
>plant some crops
>build a wall
and you're safe indefinitely, unless you find other problems which is the fun part. like making it into a trade hub or whatever and dealing with everything that comes from that, elves ODing in your taverns and humans trying to steal your artifacts

but the game lets you do really deep and complicated things if you want.

>>723895831
>>723896650
Mogs my fort I still think full graphics looks like ass

>>723898360
How do people build all these pretty forts? Mine always end up being inverted towers built around a central staircase and dedicated purposes for each level, for efficiency.

>>723888581 (OP)
>trans fortress
no thank you

>>723898745
Thank you 4chanBot#1235123413

>>723898360
Here's one of the bedroom levels in ascii for the purists. Nowhere near as decked out as the tavern floor or the noble quarters but every dwarf has a bigger than average room with beds cabinets chests, some get a few extra bonuses too.
The fort looks slightly less Australia shaped in ascii mode. The mountain just happened to be Australia shaped.

How do I construct great defenses for my fort

>>723898606
Efficiency doesn't mean shit because of >>723897029 so after you get accustomed to the game you start building for aesthetics

dont remember what this is about

>>723898606
Stop using stairs. Stick to ramps. Try to use more diagonals and shapes that aren't basic squares.
Build into the natural land too for more organic layouts. Here's a little tavern and some guild halls I made in some rock jutting out over the water on my farming level

>>723898920
personally I really like building drowning chambers. they're complex enough to be interesting in the design and construction, but not perfect enough to make defense boring

>>723898745
it's probably the easiest game to mod ever. literally just changing numbers in readable .txt files most of the time, or adding tags like [MALE] or [FLAMMABLE] to thinhs

>>723898920
dog on a leash against sneaking and a 1x1 bridge with a lever are unbroachable in this game

does anyone know if archery/bolts are bugged in the steam version?
I played DF for years but I always hated using archers because they wouldn't properly equip bolts, so they wouldn't train or fight due to gear mismatching or something like that.

>>723898827
you play woke garbage supporting woke devs financially

>>723899204
Not anymore. Things can jump and climb rough surfaces now. You can still make that design work, but it takes more effort than before.

my dorfs kept trying to take a shortcut by climbing across the cliff face under a waterfall, and usually got washed away and drowned. took me a while to figure out wtf was happening

>>723899280
Archers have never been more functional. They got another fix not very long ago so they wont leap over fortifications to melee goblins.

>>723899352
>now
not now
nobody can tell about future defenses because nobody played that version yet

>>723890310
If it weren't for kitfox they would still have the terrible UI/UX they used to have and normies would have never paid for his game. It was a wildly successful move and he's stinking rich now.

bros rate my fort

>>723897029
I usually try to have the world's greatest university and tavern.

bitch ass trolls

>>723899460
He even got mail-order bride from Bongstan

>>723899512
>fort
looks more like a mine

>>723899512
too deep and greedily

>>723899512
>all that shit on a single level
Tolkien didn't know shit about dwarven efficiency

>>723899294
toady has no political influence and the game is still free. Go find a more important target to cry about.

>>723899352
something similar happens every time im trying to drain a river, somebody will always be swept away by the current and drown, usually many dwarfs

>>723899828
it helps to use the pathing priority tools to make certain areas restricted or at least lower priority, but sometimes dwarves still do dumb dwarf things anyway

great exodus

>>723899512
>no magma
>no drowning chamber
>no trading post

2/10

>build a kino moat with a drawbridge for defense
>trading post is right outside of it
>dwarves keep swimming through the moat to reach it instead of using the drawbridge

fucking retards

>>723899138
That's pretty nice. I can imagine what it looks like in there, the light coming through those differently colored (crystal?) windows above the water.

that was notable
have you ever seen an insane vampire

>>723900049
Did you know that there is a pathing tool in the game just for this kind of shit?

>Urist Alnis, Dwarven Child has gone missing for a week
What's the first place you would check in your fort. I always build sketchy ass water pipes so I bet he went to play there when I wasn't looking.

>>723900364
behind any recently constructed walls

>>723900364
the caves

>>723900283
Ive seen an insane werebeast
>some insane naked lady walks in
>just roams inside the fort not doing anything in particular
>turns into werebeast in the middle of the dorms
>some passerby visitor just punch her to death because she was too insane to do anything

>>723888581 (OP)
wtf am I looking at

>>723900364
either caverns or he got gobbo'ed while hauling refuse outside the fort.

>>723900586
this, pretty much

>>723900558
did she run around babbling in a werebeast form too?

>>723900364
Outside. Presumably attacked by a giant swallow or something because I cut too many trees down

>>723900283
every time I look in the mirror

moments before disaster

>>723891878
>he thinks age is something but just a number
lmao

>>723900692
I guess so since she never attacked anyone, and just got beaten to death.

>>723899294
>/pol/nigger still going
grim

>>723900287
it sucks
>make all water offlimits
>dwarf still occasionally drowns self
>dwarf still occasionally ends up on other side of river
wtf you doing dwarves
>inb4 skill issue
if the tool requires esoteric skill to use, then its a shitty tool, like much of DF

>>723899949
How do I collect them?

Can somebody help me when making a fort that isn't just centralized on U/D stairs in steam version? I just want make it looks as good and effecient as you guys

>>723901696
>The puccy cript

>>723901696
Goblins are not the brightest. I'd probably just give it to them out of pity.

>>723901761
No forts here look good or are efficient

Last played this game a year ago and I had to stop because opening any goddamn cave lowered FPS by a massive amount.
Is that problem still around?

>>723901761
Try building along one big multi z-level hallway that uses ramps.

>>723901657
in cage traps
gotta collect fast tho
they naturally diffuse everywhere like gas

>>723901947
They removed the cave people invasions because of the giga lag they caused. They no longer just endlessly pile up down there. It's definitely better now

>>723901761
begin your stairs on the edge

I haven't played DF in a decade, but I want to again. I switched to Linux since. Can I just pick up a LazyNewbPack with Dwarf Therapist and a tileset and call it good?

>>723902108
it took them 2 years to even notice that it is a problem
i had to do my own detective work and listen to a lot of youtube retards having no idea what are they talking about

>>723902250
LNP is kind of obsolete now unless you are fine with playing an older version. On the plus side dwarf therapist is mostly obsolete now too if you play a post steam version.
Basic ascii version is still free but tilesets are still fucked. If you want a tileset on the latest version the steam version is all we have.

I haven't looked in on Dwarf Fortress in forever but it must be insane that Tarn went from decades on a janny salary to a low eight digit net worth

How do I prepare for the siege update? Shits gonna be hell on earth

>>723902583
dont worry
he will soon return to it
he suddenly found the love of his life soon after getting rich

>>723902690
Pretty worthy way for a fort to die. At least the elves brought some muscle for once.

>>723902736
i expect nothing to work
i have no faith in the dev
the problem of 3d pathfinding and logic is too huge

You will never be a real game.
The same way trannies will never be real women.

>>723902942
Have a you kid. You look like you need it

>>723902789
yea they pushed my shit in in that world
i've tried to genocide them after but all these giant animals were too much

>>723888581 (OP)
This looks like a green charmander bent over opening his asshole like goatse and blowing some flame from his mouth

>>723891365
Because left wingers are historically known to be terrorists and seperatists, way more than right wingers are, or are you suddenly agreeing with modern lefties that right wingers are terrorists?
Also they're liberals and not lefties in the game, which you know should be obvious since its called LIBERAL Crime Squad, which also makes it obvious that the whole game is a massive joke and not an actual terrorism simulator

>>723901761
Just get creative. I made a suspended hanging tower fort over a volcano, not super efficient but looked cool as fuck

looks way smaller than in the game

>>723903142
He should update it to put kirk in the game

>>723903143
Starting with a flat map area, I once dug a dwarven skyscraper out of the ground 25ish z levels down. It was in the center of a huge pit with a spiral path around the outside to the base of the tower that goblins had to walk down while being pinged by archers all the way down. There was also a shortcut path that lead to a big ol drowning chamber.
Wish I hadn't deleted that world, that took ages to channel out.

>>723902108
wow thank god. alright I'm reinstalling then.

>>723902993
Go fuck yourself.

>>723903789
you could always disable them in difficulty settings yourself

>>723903142
Toady himself has said the game is not a joke.

>>723902942
>>>/pol/

>>723904012
toady is a fat math autist that dedicated his life to making a dwarf game. Who cares?

>>723904230
And moved to the UK because it is a >better place

>>723904230
He's the fucking developer of the game, stupid nigger.

>>723901761
Don't plan shit out. Just build things as you need them.

unironically how do you make the Still? what needs to be In: and Out: in that order?

>>723904782
>elf poster
Begone. I will fell every, last, tree

>>723902583
he started giving away a ton of money, said that being rich is too complicated. truly a based autism man

>>723905049
brewable plant + empty barrel in
barrel of drink comes out.
All i use is 1 stockpile for all plants, 1 stockpile for empty barrels and a stockpile for drinks

>>723902942
it's your fault for being incompetent at basic computer skills

>>723902942
>it doesn't have dailies, weeklies a rotating items store, gambling mechanics and 7 types of currency 3 of which you need to buy with real money
It's hard buddy, I know.

dumb shit eater. cutting down trees is foolish. stay underground or I will eat you.

sandbox/simulator games are for high IQ individuals

>>723906728
I prefer dogs btw but cats are alright

>>723906728
>you have to make up your own story and fun and gameplay
it is, unironically, for high IQ people

>>723888581 (OP)
This game is the best antfarm simulator. As a kid I always wanted one, but I goes DF scratches the itch

>>723888581 (OP)
i don't really like dwarfs

>>723910583
you can build above ground if you want.

>>723910583
then this is the game for you cause they get torn limb from limb before you know it and if the beer is flat than kill dwarfen children like an israelli in gaza

whats the most complicated thing you have done with powered minecarts?
i decided to really go in for them one fort and give them a fair shake
i setup a highway of sorts ferrying ore to the forges and returning the carts
it was really not worth it at all as to have it make logistical sense i would have to create a 2nd fort really up at the ore and have the haulers live up there
i did that with burrows, but there were nonstop error messages about not reaching various things

>>723910971
years and years of playing this game and I've never actually used minecarts. I should try them

actually no, I once built a trap that ran a minecart full of shitty weapons into a stop and threw all the sharp things down a hallways towards invaders. it was kinda cool
