i'm trying to mine some underground areas and basic stuff in the tutorial, but none of the people are taking up the task. how do i prod them to get to work? i looked at another video, and the citizens just got straight to work. is it because they're going by eu labour laws?

It'll be good to get back into this after not having played in a while and I'm glad it's selling well; bloody well-deserved.

For some reason the tutorial only gives you one miner. Go into the labor view (bottom left somewhere) and assign your expedition leader or someone else as a second miner

Watching some streams and the UI looks really nice. Seeing a Dwarf Therapist like work orders menu.

Nice game. Is there some way to make the game run slower? It feels like time runs so fast in the game, I can't keep track of stuff.

I paid the money, and I'm happy I did, but I can't recommend it as the authentic DF experience until you guys port over the ASCII graphics and classic mode control scheme. DF is a brilliant game and I don't want it to be debased or watered down with fleeting things like "graphics" or "mouse controls". I don't want tutorial popups or tooltips or thoughtful explanations to make it feel like I'm playing some cute little indie game.

Particularly at the 30.00 USD price point, I am worried we'll see new players bounce off hard, refund, and then review bomb it.

I suppose as a point of comparison, workers and resources soviet republic is also extremely difficult to figure out how to play, although I would say it is at least an actual game once you do figure it out, and it maintains a positive review score, but it's also not enormously popular in general. DF getting a lot of general attention and being much better known generally I think runs the risk of attracting a lot of people who don't really get what they're buying, as I don't think the store page makes it quite clear (although frankly I also don't know how you even begin to describe it to someone accurately)

"the Sims for people with extremely strong opinions on VI vs. Emacs" e: or more broadly, a virtual dollhouse. even in its most martial elements, you don't win fights in Dwarf Fortress through strategy and tactics; you win by dressing your little guys up the best and making sure you'd played with them regularly Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Dec 6, 2022 |

Coming into DF from Rimworld, I'm not finding the UI impossible to figure out (for obvious reasons). Is there any way to set a task to repeat N times? It looks like the options are "repeat forever" and "do once", which is kind of a drag.

You can place orders through the manager. 30 chairs or what have you.

I haven't gotten this far in the fancy version yet, but once you set a dwarf as manager and give them an office you can make all sorts of granular settings like "when there are less than 100 units of alcohol, set X number of brew orders" etc and iirc repeating N times is part of that (i also haven't played for years before now so someone might have clearer instructions) edit: of course I was beaten hell yeah

df will be fine; the whole barrier to entry was with a worse UI that focused mostly on hotkeys, which isn't the case here. otherwise it's a cosmetically very deep, but otherwise somewhat simple colony game (outside of the military, still) that the genre for the past like twenty years has emulated. it's not simple, but it's still straight forward.

Something this release badly needs: customizable "pause on..." prompts. Currently the game does not seem to auto pause on any event and that's certainly unusual.

Like, that's the brand. Complaining about inscrutability in DF is like complaining that the black diamond slope wasn't a good training course.
