Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial 2010 part 04 - Tour & Hospitals

[64Roflcopter]

I love your acent when you swear :D

[vVEvanVv]

You skip wayyyyy to much...

[CtrlAltSHIT]

I don't know if this has already been said but you also need chain or rope in addition to the mechanism and table to make a traction bench and secondly tables in a hospital need to be right next to beds or dwarves won't get moved to them for surgery because dwarves can't be moved more than one tile without being woken up and dwarves have this thing about being awake during surgery.

The nice thing about bugged soap is that a miner who fell 'luckily' into a 2-story pit was left with a set fracture on his leg but several infections in the wounds in legs, head and lower body.

Dwarf Fortress = Fun/Anger Simulation

[guitarismysword1]

i need help guys. what will ocean waves do? will they destroy mudstone walls in long run? what about wood walls?

[captnduck]

@guitarismysword1 dont worry they are just there to look nice. Walls of any kind cannot be destroyed.

[guitarismysword1]

if i allow plump helmets to be cooked, do they leave plumpt helmet spawns behind?

or do only raw eaten leave spawns behind?

[evirus]

@guitarismysword1 cooking plants will destroy seeds and spawn, brewing plants though will return seeds and spawn.

[3xstr]

@guitarismysword1 If you cook them they DON'T leave spawns behind, but if you brew them or eat them raw they do leave spawns.

[guitarismysword1]

@3xstr haha thanks! i've know that for months already :D thanks anyway

[comecra85]

I understand nothing. Could someone please advise a way to learn to play at leas simple party?

[OkamiSykan]

@comecra85 Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. If you want simplicity, you're doing it wrong.

[Killer9ss]

Can someone tell me how to clear my caves of stone : S its everywhere and in the way -_-

[Negative132]

@Killer9ss Press D then press B then press D again. it will create a rectangle to make the stone as dump. Press i to create a zone for the dump

[aslambilal]

@Negative132 i prefer using D B H right after i dig, no time wasted moving stuff to a dump

[Negative132]

@aslambilal Well the person who asked me wants to know how to move the stone for stockpiles. Even thought they are hidden you can't place items on stone.

[aslambilal]

@aslambilal ah gotchya. The only thing i hate about dumps is that the items wont be used, so if you're not careful, like i once was, you'll end up putting your whole warehouse of adamantium in a dump tile and forget where the hell it went.

[kingnothing119]

@aslambilal I'm still new to DF but I believe if you "D,B,C" to reclaim an area, all of the areas available to reclaim should show up green. I believe this works even if the garbage dump zone is still active. Someone please confirm or correct if I'm wrong.

[DawnBurn]

Any chance for a video between getting massacred and this? I was loving the following along but I got lost when your fortress was so much better. The early walk through was easily followed.

[sharpie443]

Problem is the little bastards are only your friends until you get attacked again then they switch sides and proceed to kill you off. At least thats what happens to me.

[pedcorace]

Great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[Ilamarea]

Oh damn I'am late.

But at least version 1.0 was realised since! :D

[Soullocked]

lol soap cant be created. tis bugged D:

[DukManAlpha]

I need help with DF2010! For some reason, my perfectly equipped hunter will not hunt anything, even if there is a huntable animal nearby. I tried solving this by building a butcher workshop and setting the task to get live animal, but it still wouldn't work!

Please help me before I go completly insane...

[izraqthedark]

31.08 is pretty much fixed in terms of annoying bugs. Military and equipment bugs still exist but they are minimalized.

[PicklesReallySuck]

@izraqthedark I can't get my dwarves to equip anything, it's driving me insane. Even if I specify the exact equipment to put on, weapon or armor, they just stand there. I also have an arsenal dwarf and he has the appropriate stuff in his room.

Any tips on how to get the dwarves to equip the items I want?

[izraqthedark]

@PicklesReallySuck First of all make sure you are playing the latest version. I don't believe the equipment bugs were really fixed till 31.06 or 31.08. You're doing it right just takes the arsenal dwarf a hell of a long time to actually prepare the equipment manifest.... thus that is why Toady eliminated that position in 31.09. I would go download 31.09 and transfer over your data folder and you will be glad to see they pick the equipment immediately. There ya go :).

[gadzijezyk]

i got a question about kitchen. I use customized stockpiles for food. Drinks here, meat there, plants over there etc. The problem is, the food that is made in kitchen doesnt go to any of my stockpiles. I got one set to store all prepared food: dogs brains and all other. But the things that my kitchen makes seems to be way to random to get any normal name. And all the food remains in the kitchen. Is there anything i can do to get that food to stockpile? I play version 31.06

[FlashEF]

You are the best. I really like your series and wish you to get rid of those trouble you have. Think of incorporating some commercials at start of your videos . With so many views, that might bring some money.

[Chaosrain112]

Good luck with the financial stuff captduck, I know how hard it is.

DF has once again scared me out of playing it with all of these new changes and bugs... I'll probably end up waiting for a more stable version before I have another crack at it. Still, I have your videos to help. Keep on keepin' on.

[rafale1981]

way to go man!

[graveeking]

I wish you luck with the finical problems, i hope you get lots of donations dude - you deserve them for bothering to take up your free-time with all these tutorials.

[darkmaster24i1]

This looks confusing with the 2d graphics is their a 3d version ?

[Quiltfish]

@darkmaster24i1 This is the 3d version, if you can believe it. 2d was around 2-3 releases ago.

[HaunterV]

@darkmaster24i1 yeah.... no. this is wat the game is, you have to use your mind to fill in the blanks.

[johndoe012]

@darkmaster24i1 Dwarf Fortress is a 3D game, that uses ascii to represent it. As such you can only see one horizontal level (z-level) at once. If you want to see what your map and fort look like in full 3D, there are some fan made programs such as 3Dfort and VisualFortress that you can find on the Bay12 forums. There's also a really pretty isometric version called Stonesense that can run in real time parrallel to the game, althrough I don't know if they've updated for 0.31.xx yet.

[anonymousppl]

Is this 31.04? Is there a mayday update that I'm not aware of?

[captnduck]

@anonymousppl No this is still 0.31.03. The latest version, .04 , is way to buggy. I'm waiting until the next version.

[obvlexi]

so happy to see you back

[SithLord501]

a traction bench needs a table, a mechanism, and a rope.

[captnduck]

@SithLord501 Oh? Really? I guess I've been lucky since i always buy a couple of ropes when i get the chance.

[Soullocked]

@SithLord501 normally says chain for me >.<

[m3th0dm4n]

Good luck on your personal life... look forward to the next videos!

[kamilfreeman]

There is no game with bigger learning curve

[SoupSaladNBread]

I really hope you can get everything sorted out Mr. Duck!

[SargeKirby]

THE RETURN!

[n4v32x]

Silly dogs, soap is for dwarves!

...They will try and use it but they can't hold it in their mouth => drop => annoyance.

[MicahTheZombie]

Friendly goblins? That's just wrong. But awesome. Make more videos captnduck! You're awesome!!!
