DF2010 Tutorial - Farming (Part 2)

[budabob07]

Great tutorial, but one question. I got the save file of yours for the tileset/texture mod (its great btw) and i was wondering what the name of the tileset was. Thanks

@budabob07 Super late reply, cuz nobody watches DF anymore, but it's called Pheobus.

WOW ....LOL.....FOR MY FARM PLOT I MIS PRESSED A BUTTON AND HIT ROAD...AND BUILD IT ON MY ROAD...DERP TO THE HERD AND DONT COME BACK

[Bidmartinlo]

This... explains alot. No wonder my dwarfs passed out in water. :P

BTW - To change which menu item you have selected (choose what to plant) the way the keybindings are set in this example to (+/-)

You could have made a more efficient farm, without flooding your hallway. It involves 2 doors, and a couple d -> h. Just put a line on the back wall, near the door, build a room below the d -> h. This will give you a room (your farm) and a secondary (possibly) farm on a lower z-level. Throw a door where you cracked into the water, to prevent rainwater (if on) to re-flood your area.

If you want a more detailed description of how I do this, message me, I ran out of space.

@Atusid Saw it on Reddit, but it never crossed my mind when making these videos.

What's the green " / " mean?

[DurasianStudios]

@Navineous1 I'm going to assume you mean the green slash that pops up over a dwarf or other creature? That means there's more than one creature standing on that tile and the slash is showing it switching from one to another, like a page flip in a book. To look at them, hit v for "view the closest creature" and then v again to cycle through whatever creatures are on that same tile.

[Navineous1]

@DurasianStudios Yes, that was it. Thank you.,

Just had a really wierd experience. I came to some place that said it had a temperate climate, but it was frozen over. I also put the area near a river but there was none to be found. After I looked around, it appeared the river was ABOVE me, somehow. After flipping through the height levels, I came back to find that all of the snow had thawed and the river had revealed itself to actually be next to me, as I predicted.

[Dirtyblue929]

And now one of my dwarves died in one of the weird river things, along with all of our seeds, which he was carrying to the farm.

Eating plump helmets or other produce does not produce seeds, however brewing does FYI

[upingu]

@iSTALKforCASH Only cooking destroys the seeds. If you don't believe me, check the wiki or watch a dwarf eat a plump helmet.

[iSTALKforCASH]

@upingu Thats exactly what I said. Cooking does not create seeds while brewing does.

[upingu]

@iSTALKforCASH Plump helmets don't need to be cooked to be eaten, so "eating plump helmets" could mean cooked or uncooked.

[iSTALKforCASH]

@upingu Oh I see what you mean. That's good to know, thanks.

[blawrgful]

@iSTALKforCASH eating them does produce seeds, i dont brew drinks, but i have them eat it, and i never run out

Question!: I built my farm plot just like the video showed, but my farmer-dwarf doesn't seem to want to go and complete it, preferring instead to go off and fish. I realize that I can't tell her not to fish, but my farm is just sitting there incomplete. How can I get her to do her job? And thank you for posting these videos, they're an enormous help! :D

[upingu]

@majikmeerkat First off, the farm may already be complete but doesn't have any farming duties assigned, so it looks barren. But if your fisherdwarf really loves fishing, you could either disable them from fishing or enable some other dwarf to farm (or do a swap if fishing isn't important to you). I believe I cover the roles in the migrant video, if not sooner.

[RayMaster67]

Is it just me or is it that every game that has Dwarves has alcohol for them?:D
