Good game!
The first recorded fight in my generated world ist between a Monkey Demon and a Dwarf who got his nose punched in. Im picturing goku for some reason fighting dwarves.
The demon died 135 years later to some random rear end human during a siege.

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.

The deck is only in first place because of its price. It counts sales by dollars spent not number sold

That's amazing. She does well gambling, meets a guy, then does poorly gambling, they break up, and she starts embezzling off and on. Then she takes a break to find herself through troll hunting, settles down with a new job, and starts embezzling again out of habit.

Somewhere along the way she got married.

What are you guys doing for your first embark? I might try finding a volcano
I'm hoping for surface lava and accessible sand so I can make *so much* glass. Ideally with dirt I can surface farm on too. Otherwise I'm gonna wing it oldschool. Figure out how things work by loving around and word of mouth.

Fake edit: Oh you. can't search for volcanos/surface lava, can you. What do volcanos even look like on the new world map?

Tip for older players (from Quill18 on reddit the other day) - "Keyboard Cursor enabled" gives you some of the old functionality for designating, etc - without turning off the new mouse support and stuff.

While embarking I checked for aquifers and such, to avoid the most common killer of forts because I wanted to have at least a fighting chance since I'm not having much luck learning the shortcuts as quickly as I'd hoped.

I got a stoneworkers workshop down, and a few other things down, as well as my main room smoothed.
As I dug a bit further down, a cave opened up and this, in turn attracted a monster hunter.

Then, the monster slayer decided that the best thing to do would be to attack a toad, which immediately pummeled him to death, and then went to town on my dwarves.

Note to self: Don't accept visitors coming to petition you to hunt.

Here's what I did back in the day:

- Dig a little one-tile alcove in a hallway somewhere.
- Dig DOWN on that tile a few levels
- Build some stairs back up (either right next to it, or somewhere else).
- Back at the top, you designate the empty hole and the hallway tile next to it as a refuse zone.
- Then, marking all of those rocks for disposal will have your poo poo-haulers chucking rocks down the hole.

Then I would just Z-level down to the bottom of the pit every so often and unmark the rocks as refuse, and stoneworkers will pull from the pile.

Yeah, but light aquifers are a completely reasonable challenge right now. Only really a problem if you ignore them and don't wall them off before the water builds up.
