#DwarfFortress

One of my blacksmiths had a strange mood and took over the magma forge. But despite butchering a few random animals to get him the leather he wanted, he went berserk. Being a strong and experienced fighter he murdered a dozen dwarves during his rampage. Most of the militia was in their new barracks training.

One of the victims was the peasant turned undertaker turned mayor, whose constant demand for boots contributed greatly to our leather shortage. New guy loved amulets.

But it seems like 90% of the citizens are either praying or socializing in the tavern.

I know it’s been rough, but maybe haul that body into the tomb we made for him so you stop complaining about having to see his dead body?

Hell, none of the adults wanted to put the coffins in place, so I watched the 6 year old do it.

But now they want a farmers guild hall. Come to think of it, besides the kitchen and still I need to setup the rest of the farm workshops.

So much to do.

My reclaimed fortress is going strong. My 3 dragon slayers were joined by a few brave migrants each season, and now we are 35 strong.

However, they are very slow to get any work done.

I walled off a section of the underground to do some farming and logging. I made a well to an underwater reservoir. I made a meager dorm while I turn mushroom logs into beds.

How could I forget to mention: a room full of cheese, which immediately became my food stores.

There were also some desks, I didn’t even know you could make desks in Dwarf Fortress.

Other weird things in this fort.

Magma forges perilously positioned to be flooded with magma.

Lots of bedrooms, no beds.

No trees. No surface water source.

Weird shrines to gods we don’t worship.

So many metal forges, not a single type of other workshop.

#DwarfFortress

I gave up on my were infested fort. Even disabling the setting already infected npcs floating around they kept coming back.

But when I went to reclaim, I noticed that you can claim already existing ones, generated by the computer.

They are very weird. First off, very few stairs. The primary “stairs” are a large spiral of ramps going deeper and deeper within the earth.

But first I had to slay the older than history Dragon. Three of my initial seven dwarves survived.

#DwarfFortress

Decided to turn off were attacks after this.

Reclaimed my fortress with a batch of dwarves. They cleared it out, but only two survived. Was watching them work when one of them decided to try butchering an animal. They accidentally cut themselves and their entrails fell out. They managed to crawl over to the hospital to die.

Leaving one last dwarf who socialized with ghosts until he died of fright.

Will try one more reclaim before I give up on this fort.

#DwarfFortress

I had a nice little fortress going, with a population of 99 (mostly) dwarves. I recovered swiftly from the winter without water.

Then somehow a weremonitor [lizard] outbreak occurred. I abandoned the fort and sent a party to reclaim it. That went poorly. Two more tries and I think I’ve got it cleared of weres. Except for two trapped in barricaded rooms.

Turns out if you are going to a well stocked fort you can bring 7 marksdwarves in copper armor.

2 are left alive, now wait…

#DwarfFortress Fun Fact:

If all your dwarves die because you failed to get an underground water reserve but a bunch of non-dwarven citizens survive because they are poets who spent the winter drinking up all the booze in the tavern while your dwarves worked then even once you get dwarven migrants to arrive they won’t nominate a new expedition leader.

So you have to wait until you get population 50 so they will finally elect a mayor.

It’s really annoying not being able to make work orders.

Dwarf Fortress

lol. I was playing a bit on my solo fort. Was going well, 5 years without any goblin attacks.

Then I went from 99 dwarves to 99 ghouls in a matter of days.

I would keep going on this world, except I made it before the dinosaur update so I kind of want to try them next.

#DwarfFortress #Ghouls

I’ve been playing in a long succession game of Dwarf Fortress. We lost one fortress and started a second one. New one has been going well, we’ve had several years without a goblin invasion.

After my last turn I decided to poke around and see what kind of art they’ve been making. Nothing too exciting in this fort history, a dog killed a troglodyte once.

But we have several statues of a key event in the downfall of our previous fortress.

#DwarfFortress

werehyenas killed half of my citizens😱 and they are contagious so the next full moon there'd be even more of them. i quited without saving as i have lots of gold and steel production and had 120 dwarfs on peak.. i will learn how to stop the epydemy from happening next time
the spot was perfect - a little island with gold, platinum and every ore possible apparently, and being an island enemies never launched any attacks on the fort so i havent seen goblins in almost 10 years of its existance. also the island had no cold wintern. my population grew and i learned to punish the criminals, burry the dead, dig through aquipheres, smelt ores... i didnt do clothes, animal farming, clay, glass, honey processing, military stuff, didnt find magma... but my dwarfs were mostly happy, had 8k of food (do they even eat?) from fishery, continous production of alcohol (with only one one medium farming po, lol)
also somehow travelling merchants were killed one time and after that they started appearing angry and one time per 5 years and i couldnt trade with them bcs they wanted 50% off (although i didnt actually need anything from them)
one stupid werehyena is enough to start an epydemy and devastate the fortress😱

📢 #LiveStream - #DwarfFortress - The Eternal Planes

They fixed a few bugs with world generation so it's back to the drawing board. The focus of this run is to bring back to life a nearly extinct civilization whose King is a hermit who lives in a monastery. We found a quiet corner of the world to build the seat of our power and will attempt to defeat the Goblins of the north!

#dwarffortress #roguelike

I've been really enjoying playing #DwarfFortress as a cozy game lately.

Looking at the little descriptions of what is making them un/happy and ... just trying to accomodate their desires, leading to a lot more singing in the taverns and babies being born, it seems.

Just getting good textile/craft/available workshops for any whim, some pets, and lots of quality drinks, food, and decorated homes (and free time) really goes a long way. Waterfall at the "mall" is nice too.

Weird how that works.

Livestream in 2 hours: first I'll play #EchoIsle, which I think I'll finish in a single stream, then some #DwarfFortress with a fresh fort.

Would anyone like to join me for some #DwarfFortress on Twitch in about 2-3 hours?

Some slight backseating might be welcome; I am still figuring out "light aquifers" and I am pretty out of date with the changes to the Steam version.

But...it's got dinosaurs now. 💞
