Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part 18 - Leather & Wells

[doctorwholover1]

I should be finishing a big project and study for 2 tests.

But I'm gonna watch this instead!

[Carybm]

So I recently set up a well system in my fortress on DF. I keep running into the same problem though. The job to fill the wells is created, but the dwarfs will fill the well with the well water. As in, they literally draw a bucket of water from the well and then toss it back into the well. Since no new water is ever put into the wells, they slowly dry up. Does anybody know how to stop this?

[Jarateispiss]

FINALLY you name someone duke nukem. been waiting for that

[MrSporeowns]

I'm enjoying your kind of walkthroughs. normally I watch people that joke around alot, it can get a bit stupid. I like this sort of serious gameplay with humor in moderation. :)

Babies are a very effective bio-weapon. Once I had a wrestler nursing a baby underground continuously so the baby got cave adaption. Then suddenly, goblin raid. The mother took the child into battle outside and it started spewing barf EVERYWHERE effectively blinding and occasionally poisoning the unlucky goblins it hit (which was a lot because the mother was a wrestler)

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

[59spore]

captn can you send me a link with the version of dwarf forttress that you play i cant find it. help pease

[captnduck]

@59spore No. I've linked it on multiple pages. Just find it, it isn't that hard.

[kreukel71]

@59spore i have a tip look at the date of the vids go tho the home page click on the link :older version and select the first version before the date

>Megaman had a kid

I lol'd

[DragonMagi]

how did you get that river of water underground? or was it just naturally there? and if it wasnt, how did you build the corridor for the water without your dwarves drowning? Hopefully you will explain it in a later video.

[weirdguy0]

Wait a second. When making a well. I understand that it has to be over the water. Though, when i place it. Can i just place it in the floor? U mentioned a shaft?

[Kingzogre]

Your accent makes me hot, love the videos btw

[Morfar22]

Thank you very much for doing these videos. Helped me with getting glass and shit. Thanks! =D

[gatedude07]

Carp surprised a friend of mine, when he first encountered them in the game; he lost a hunter to them. :)

[EEBLESUCKS]

@gatedude07 i lost fifteen dwarves to those bloodthirsty beasts. Then, the rest of my dwarves went berserk with grief. I went from about 30+ dwarves to six.

[Truth3w3]

Great videos. Much easier to learn the game when watching as opposed to only reading about it.

It's spelled "too," though. Driving me mad! :) Oh, and at the beginning of this one it says "...video tutorial part 17..."

[captnduck]

too? What was spelled wrong?

on the other thing thats prolly an old cut n paste error, but im not going to spend tons of time to fix a minor error like that.

[Loofiloo]

@captnduck Well I don't know if anyone has said it already, but "too" is a word that you use when you mean "also" or "as well" or "additionally." But "to" is a prepositional word, so like, you give things TO people, and you travel TO places... That sort of thing.

Then there's "two." It's a number. >__> But I think you know that.

I don't figure that the captions will be edited, but there's some handy information anyway.

[daintdf]

My only carpenter dwarf died, can i somehow get a new one?

[Anactofgod]

Yeah, just find an alternate dwarf to take on the labors of a carpenter. Go to one via [u] and go to preffered labors in the small menu. From there just highlight what you want them to do. It's easy. The new dwarf won't be very good though.

[Darknight11222]

Are "The Nameless One" and "Kasumi" refrences to Raymond E. Feists novels?

[captnduck]

No, all the dwarf names are video game characters. The nameless one is from planescape torment, and kasumi is from some fighting game.

[garethmagis]

dead or alive

[Gabezen101]

@captnduck Dead or Alive.

[PeacefullCheeta]

Megaman + Abe = Protoman.

Makes perfect sense to me :D

[ChazFoxMCR]

RIP Simon Belmont: "Now a miserable pile of carp food."

[Doom2Guy]

Is "Space Marine" a reference to Warhammer 40K or Doom?

[captnduck]

Good question :)

It's a reference to Doom.

[Doom2Guy]

Awesome!

[MyNameIsBucket]

I keep trying to make a well, but my dwarves stop digging because they hit damp rock. What the hell?

[TomCatFort]

It's maybe an aquifer or there is water next (the water can be one z level up) to that tile.

[MyNameIsBucket]

That's interesting but it doesn't fix my problem of my dwarves not wanting to dig any more.

[TomCatFort]

Try to designate that area again. But most cases you don't want to mine out damp walls except you want the water to come in.

Does they stopped mining non damp stone?

[Cabot696]

Great! Thanks so much for making these tutorials. They help immensely

[MetaKnight345]

As far as I know, you don't need to make a "well room" for the well to be used. I prefer to not make a well room, but it doesn't really matter.

[Slashcko]

I laughed at Megaman and Protoman, all of my dorfs are named after robot masters.

[Raphite1]

Wells will still work even in VERY far above the water source? Like, 10 z-levels above?

[eebeebeeb]

I love the way you say "leather"

[krilli]

NICE!

[IAmTheTacoLad]

You're pro, dude. Pro.

[KirbySTR]

Bridges doesn't really need water, they can be build under Chasms, and Magama also, just to tell you, btw I learned all of this before you made this xD.

Also, if you don't want your water source to freeze (if you live in a cold enviroment like I do), make the some of the channel some of the river source inside your fort, there it won't freeze, and please don't build it where it'll flood the fortress also.

[obvlexi]

thanks!

[pmantix84]

Thanks so much for making these videos! I only heard of this game 2 days ago, and I never would have been able to make sense of it so quickly without your tutorials. Thanks again!

[zombierobopirate]

Same here, keep it up!

[Gerfervonbob]

Hurray I love these videos! You do a fantastic job!
