Already got a dwarf downed, thanks to a flock of agitated ravens. I set up a hospital area with a bed, but nobody cared to rescue him.

Please report back on this

So far I've genned a world, poked around in legends mode and now I'm going through the fortress mode tutorial, so I'm extremely early on. That said, so far it's worked perfectly, I'm playing much more slowly than I would be on keyboard and mouse but using the default wasd + mouse controls is working ok, still tripping out at just dragging and clicking to designate even though I know mouse controls technically existed for a while. I'm absolutely sure someone (many someones, really) will create a tweaked control scheme that works much better for its peculiarities soon. I'm a simple baby enthralled with scrolling around and seeing multiple z levels, i was sure I'd switch back to ASCII first thing and I'm sure I'll still use it a lot but goddamn this is beautiful.

tl;dr I'll update as I get further in but so far this is perfectly playable on steam deck to a degree that is dangerous for my continued employment

Definitely doesn't work during the tutorial, dunno if that's tutorial-specific somehow.

When preparing to embark, has anyone found a way to adjust the amount of items/animals/etc by more than just 1 with each click? I'm not 100% but seem to remember being able to do that in the old version

Yeah that and the alerts that pop up along the left side are a couple of pretty baffling "this mechanic is disabled during tutorial time" decisions.

Yes, the tutorial limits what you can do until you finish it.

We're all mad here.


Currently DF is listed as the second top seller on Steam, second only to the steam deck, which seems a liiiiiiiiiittle sketchy.

I see over 16,000 people in game, which if my math serves me, is about half a million dollars in first-hour sales.

It's very helpful, yeah - although I do think it's gonna take me some time to get used to the new shortcuts.

The idea of reviewing Dwarf Fortress is inherently hilarious. You might as well apply a tape measure to a black hole. Playable in unfinished form for 16 years and counting, with no end to development in sight, Bay 12’s deceptively lo-fi colony management simulation is as vast and alien as one of its own Forgotten Beasts, rising up through layers of terrain to obliterate the miners burrowing down for sapphires and platinum.

I could have done with smooth scrolling on the map. Also a font size option.
