why do you always build 2 or 4 or each workshop when you only have 1 dwarf who can do that kind of work? Does it increase the speed for that 1, or is it for when you have more than 1 dwarf who does the work?

@dodgydogman I think i mentioned it in one of the video's, but basically for more queue space. You can give each workshop a command queue of 10 things. And of course its also for when more dwarves come. And besides, most workshops cost only 1 stone so why not build 4 at once.

Hmm, a wagon just bypassed my inacessible site. I don't get why it's inacessible when my dwarves are entering and leaving it nicely.

[captnduck]

Wagons are bigger then dwarves. Make sure there's a path to the place that even a 3x3 wagon can fit through.

A word of wisdom: Contrary to popular belief, workshops currently generate NO NOISE at all. Check "noise" on the dwarfortress wiki for a link to where Toady One (game creator) stated so.

I wonder how many got the "Bucket pronounced as Bouquet" joke.. As a fellow Dutchie, it was obvious. ;)

@Ninjris Did you click the "Request trader at depot" button?

@dodgydogman another reason for having at least 2 workshops : if a dwarf goes in a strange mood, he will take a workshop over and it wont be available for things you want made, so 2+ means production can carry on as normal :)

I have a question: How does the trading actually work? I made the depot, the merchants unloaded their goods, I put some of my items in there, set that option to "anyone may trade", but I still can't do anything, the trade option in the depot is still grayed out. How do I get one dwarf to actually do the trade?

@1337lolguyman

He said something in the first tutorials something about he's german or something...

[1337lolguyman]

@RenzoVV98 I believe he might be German, but I could be wrong (I got that from him saying "Ich bin Captnduck," but I don't know if that is Dutch as well.

[RenzoVV98]

@xAeternax is he dutch?!

maar dat wist ik niet

My trading caravan came before i was on this video in the tutorial, i didnt buy anything and i made some "trade agreement" thingy, and then about 10 minutes later the merchent beserked and killed his friends and my dwarfs came and picked up the stuff they had. :\
