Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part 17 - Butchering & Cooking

[slyfox3333]

Not Kittens and Puppies! D:

[tomek123kotek]

i would like to be in the place of that one male cat that has the job of impregnating all the females

[lpsowns]

Damn as soon as I found out how to hunt/butcher on a map with elephants I was set for food!

[sarge2115]

Hey man I have a ton of raw mussels, and I have learned that you dont need to process them in a fishery and just cook them in a kitchen...but my dwarfs aren't cooking the mussels? any idea what my error is?

[captnduck]

@sarge2115 Cooking is kinda random. I think the cook just takes whatever is closest and then makes a meal with that.

[1997mike1]

@captnduck whats wrong with that thats how i cook all the time.

[LiamOllie7777777]

hello, do you play this game on fullscreen when i try and put it on fullscreen it only shows in the top corner (the rest of the page is black)

[Gim6759]

puppys and kittens = NOM NOM NOM!

[kreukel71]

i can draw any special artifacts if you recicuest i will draw one fore youtube but he has to show description fore it thou vote up so this stays and coment on my channel fore the recuest

[guitarismysword1]

hi cap'nduck im wondering if a fort that's alive for long time is going to crash due fps drop? is this serious problem ? if i cage animals and do such things so i try to minimize it

[WasLilChrisnowbigish]

couldnt u have butchered pig and cows instead?

or are they not as good?

[Zachariahmiester]

This is why people don't like Dwarves. They eat all the cute puppies and kittens! Those assholes!!!

[romegaurd]

Dwarves do "love" kittens and puppies... :(

[shaihuludkid]

Hello captain duck i just have one silly question, cloud got the turtle shell from someone eaten a turtle but what if i built a fishery will the drawfs butchered the turtle and left us the shell?

[captnduck]

@shaihuludkid Things have changed in DF2010 and turtles need to be processed at a fishery now. DFwiki turtle.

[TyylerS]

Slaughter Kittens and Puppies.... I think im going to skip this episode and raise more cattle

[svencrocus]

I started playing DF a week ago, and your videos are PRICELESS. One question, though. When I go to my Kitchen task menu, Render Fat doesn't appear as an option. I can only select Prepare Easy Meal, Fine Meal, or Lavish Meal. Any idea what might be wrong?

[captnduck]

@svencrocus I'm guessing your using the new 31.03 version, and in that it all goes automatically so it might not be a problem.

[svencrocus]

@captnduck It seems to have fixed itself once I slaughtered a few more animals. Apparently I only have skinny cats in my fortress...

[59spore]

how do you remove and add skills? say for example youre building a trade depot but you cant because you dont have a dwarf with architecture. how do you make the dwarf learn architecture? help

[LucanJacups]

Holy shit, Mario LOVES cats.

[Mekose]

Every time I play this game now I think to myself in a foreign accent. It is suitably epic.

[Ilamarea]

*Plump Helmet spawns.... ^^'

[Ilamarea]

I had like 60 dwarf's and since i backed all my Pigl Pump Spawn's into biscuits... i had NO booze, and my river has frozen.... and only 29 dwarf's survived the winter : <

[pokemaughan]

:'(

[jwhce]

I have been looking through the Wikki and i cant find any information on assigning animals such as cats to cages. i have a wooden cage on an animal stockpile but i cant find any information on how to place the animals inside. any help is much appreciated.

[Ilamarea]

May be a bit too late now, but you need to 'build' a cage(just tell dwarf's to move them... :P) from 'b' menu, place it anywhere you want and then while pressing 'q' and hovering the 'X' curosr over it press 'a' to assign it. YOU MUST DO THIS WITH EVERY PUPPIES/KITTENS/ANY OTHER NEWBORN ANIMAL or you will not survive catplosion... : >

[jwhce]

@Ilamarea thankyou :D i can now live without the fear of a catsplosion

[Ilamarea]

No problem at all :D

If you are still playing we can exchange our expirience with Dwarf Fortress :D

[Negative132]

lol when i read your comments on how to do it i was slapping my head thinking STUPID STUPID... Now i have 144 cats :o

[obvlexi]

you know I have watched all of these videos at least 50 times each. some of them I have watched hundreds of times. and I really think this is the best one, overall. Its just perfect in all ways, and imo is one of the greatest of mankinds creations of all time

[captnduck]

This one? Sure it has the butcher puppies and kittens thing but i really lost what i was trying to say at the end heh.

[trythan]

is it normal to have 1050 years of history

[Doom2Guy]

I wonder what kittens and puppies taste like

[Doom2Guy]

Don't get me wrong btw, I love animals, especially kittens

[ChazFoxMCR]

Yeah, they go great with a good sauce. :D

[boobmikesmith]

Like chicken i would imagine :)

[gamerdude223]

They taste like chicken

[ScratchFromMW2]

@Doom2Guy Kinda like chicken.

[DarkDiamondInc]

@Doom2Guy go to china to find out

[eorgeburns7]

@Doom2Guy sad thing is you cant tell it apart from other kind of meat like beef or pork

[KLBizzy1]

what have you been making to get 1000000+ wealth?

[captnduck]

As you can see most money is in other items, that means stuff like crafts. Most of the money probably came from having a masterful crafter making rock crafts and encrusting those with gems.

[hachnslay]

AND you got a nice chunk by the talk bracelet artifact

[HALover9000]

An image of a donkey in cave lobster shell?

That dwarf is a fucking artist, he's way ahead of the times.

[erebusgw]

Toady's creation scripts are epic.

[shoopoop21]

I like how they actually reflect events in your settlement. Half the fun of Boatmurdered was laughing at all the engravings and defeatism.

[captnduck]

Dwarf magic.

There is no real explenation. When building things in moods, dwarfs can use any material. This can create weird things like beds made out of rock, with spikes made out of zinc and leather.

[Milkymalk]

He decorated a lobster shell into the pick using a turtle shell? How is that possible?

[towerofironwill]

captnduck, these videos are fantastic. You are presenting a lot of good info with some funny side comments.

With as many dwarfs, rooms, buildings etc you have now maybe you could have a 'current status' video where you go through how everything is laid out and what the dwarfs are doing and the long term plan for the fortress.

Keep up the good work!

[z3rb]

Excellent series. THanks <3

[HopperUK]

These are really excellent, they've inspired me to take another crack at this game. Keep going!

[HALover9000]

Thanks for these.

[snowy232]

These kick ass keep making them please. I put in the comments of the last one a tool you seem to not know about which is extremely useful. I'm repeating it here because you didn't reply when i told you about it before. under designation Z (remove upstairs/ramps) is extremely useful for removing the ramps that allow enemies to walk into your base it also only targets ramps so you can put it over a huge area all at once rather than selecting each area to be dug out.

[captnduck]

Yeah i know. I recorded these videos before christmas and found out shortly after. I only now got around to subbing them.

[snowy232]

Well if you have already made them can you tell me when/if you will be doing machines because that confuses me a lot. You got me re-interested in DF so thank you.

[PuppetOfThePollution]

I can't wait for the episode titled "Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part X - Seiges"

I also can't wait to see what the fortress looks like in 3D.

[Raphite1]

I bet Solid Snake can't wait to get a bellyfull of wine and fat.

[Gerfervonbob]

Oh god the slaughter! lol

[ChemoTherapy87]

The high quality version doesn't work.

[captnduck]

It does now, you just watched it to early after i uploaded the video, it works fine now. It takes an hour or so for the HD version of youtube to kick in after uploading.

[ChemoTherapy87]

You're right, it was working properly few minutes after I posted.
