Getting rid of the shortcuts has broken my brain. Everything's taking twice as long to do. The mouse implementation is nice but is there some way to have that and the old shortcuts??

I only played for 1.5hr because I ran out of things I remembered how to do, which was a surprising amount given that I last played in 2007/pre z levels. Things I remembered to do - Designate stockpiles - Juggle/assign miner/cutter/fisher/haulers - Assign bookkeeper, manager, designate office for same - Make wood/stone/mech shops, build beds/blocks/mech - Site a well - Designate bedrooms, place beds - Make fishery/kitchen, make crap meals for training I'm amazed no one's tantrumed but I haven't seen migrants or caravan yet. In looking at the list above it's really not that much but I guess involves a bunch concepts total newbies wouldn't be exposed to like zoning, labour management, room planning, construction placement, etc.

I just got attacked by a bunch of goblins and kobolds, and a dwarf died... and fell into a pond, meaning his body will never be recovered, but I can see the corpse from within my fortress. It's very morbid. Just checked the tomb, though, and they appear to have put the dwarf's right hand in the coffin. Guess it got severed somehow.

You can then add other zones to that location by clicking that same button and choosing your existing temple's icon. You also get to the location-specific stocks from this menu, so things like however many gypsum plaster bags your hospital wants or what performers are dancing at your temples and such. It turns out I missed the bit where you have to get the value of the room up!

Arrath posted:My first brush with hostilities!!! A meandering wereskink appears, oh crap! Let this be my gangtag submission:  I, uh, I didn't act fast enough.   The entry to my fort, and its very un-dwarfy above ground fortifications, is quickly becoming a bloodbath.  My militia commander makes her debut, assisted again by handy noncombatants.  It seems the children cannot be denied their bloodlust. Our plucky commander loses a finger to a bite in the scuffle, I expect she will turn on us in the next wave. Things are looking grim.  I fear this plague will only spread, and it is but a matter of time until everyone succumbs to the blight. I had a good couple years. Got work orders fairly well figured out. I misused the legendary weaponsmith I got in my second migrant wave, and spent too long making serrated steel disks for my trap hallway. I should have put at least a few dwarves in armor for an event like this. Advance time a little bit, and...  Oh, right. There was a human caravan here.  Welp, that's it. Rest in pieces, residents of Mansionnoble.

Started up my first fortress in ~10 years. Was having a blast, everything going great! Then I notice a little combat alert on the far left. Oh no, I look at the front of my fort and there is a blood bath going on. Giant Agitated Sparrows have taken to swooping in and dismembering my animals, knocking their teeth around the entire lawn. Just severed arms and legs and loose teeth cover the entrance. Several dwarves are now maimed as well. RIP to this fort, gonna try again tomorrow. Any suggestions on how to prevent this in the future? Also, is there a wiki or helpful guide to the new steam release? Was trying to find out how to prevent the plump helmets from getting cooked but still able to be brewed and couldn't find it.

Gods, picking the starting setup is as big of a wall as I remember. Spent a while fiddling with skills, but having to decide what to bring other than the bare necessities I know was just too much. Gonna go with a standard loadout, gently caress it. Also, I *always* start in a place without aquifers, guess I'll continue that tradition.

Neurion posted:QSPs still work, you just cannot make them out of a single track stop any more. The way I've got mine working is with a 3-tile long minecart route that uses a track stop to dump its contents onto the quantum stockpile. Because it relies on someone pushing it along, you may need to tweak the stop conditions to happen more frequently, especially for QSPs that store smaller items like bars or cloth. A minecart will be full after maybe 8 boulders, but it could take dozens of bars to reach 100%, and so far it seems like items in minecarts are considered inaccessible for the purposes of crafting and construction. It took a lot of frustrating fiddling before I realized that and finally said "gently caress it, I'll use a traditional stockpile for stone blocks."

So after getting my bearings a little bit on the tutorial fort in the pleasant tutorial land full of pears and persimmons and cherries that largely takes care of the food and booze micromanagement, I was hoping to embark a real fort somewhere a little more ambitious. I see my world has no less than three volcanos, with one having deep soil, multiple metals and a flux layer. However, all these volcanos are volcanic islands. If I actually settled there, am I just never going to have migrants or trade caravans or invasions or whatnot, since there's no connection to the mainland civilizations? Am I gonna have to Dwarf Family Robinson this poo poo?

Got my first somewhat successful fort going. No real threats so far, but my hunter does keep getting knocked out while trying to go hunting, usually from a tree falling or falling into sand or something. I have some questions since I don't really remember much about the game. First, since I have a pretty good sized river I've been using that for a water source, but it is getting bad to have to go outside to get water. Is there a method to find a source of water for a well or should I just dig around til I find some? Second, also to do with digging - is there a recommended way to mine, or should I just go down levels until I find something or a cavern? Not sure how much I should be digging out z levels, I'm at about elevation 35-40 starting out so I have a ways to go to get negative.

Had my first crash shortly after fending off a sizable siege in which a legendary speardwarf got stabbed through the head because she'd apparently picked out a nice hefty mace to fight with despite having no mace skill and there being plenty of steel spears. I think this place got too cushy too quick, I need to settle on a glacier or something for old times' sake. Can't expect much from the wiki after not even 48 hours from a major overhaul release but I'd be interested to learn what the difficulty config settings actually do. Things have felt a little too safe ever since sieges became reliant on 'real' populations and map activity years back, and then again since dwarves learned to cope with their emotions in more or less the most recent previous version.

I think you will still get the first two migrant waves because iirc those are hard coded to happen. At least they used to be

I never tried my hand at pastures. You have to do it outside, unless you got some funky underground cavern setup, no? That seems rediculously vulnerable to getting slaughtered in a siege. (Just spent like 20 minutes visualizing how I want to do the internal layout. There *has* to be lots empty space and tiers, the 'central 3x3 stairecase' is just too efficient and boring. Did settle on a simple model of widening tiers from 'stockpile', 'workshop', 'entry', levels. Bedrooms will come further up.) Aeble fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Dec 8, 2022 |

I know it’s sort of the point but I hadn’t played since right before medicine was a thing and man the game is a lot more complicated now, huh? Also if you live in a heavy forested area the entire ground becomes fruit, it’s maybe a bit busted.

So, I think the old Wiki tutorial doesn't make sense (even ignoring the keystrokes) currently? For instance, I dug a channel above my mushroom beds to water them, but the flavor text says I mustn't let light in. How irrigate beds?quote:Near the middle of the entry tunnel, build a 5x5 room, and link it to the entrance tunnel with a 3-tile-wide passageway. Expand the main entry tunnel to three tiles wide from the entrance of the new room to the outside entry. At the end of the entry tunnel, dig a small room, which will later become your main stairwell. Two tiles past that, dig a larger room, which will later become your general stockpile, and connect it to the stairwell with a narrow passageway. General questions: To put it in Rimworld terms, dwarves aren't hauling things; I have lots of rooms with rocks in the middle of them. Is there a role I assign dwarves so that they schlep things? I set up pens on the surface, but my animals starved to death in the meeting room. How do I prevent this?

If you have a pool inside the fort proper you don’t even need the well. If it’s inside it shouldn’t even freeze. Might want to put a grate in the channel before you flood it tho.

How do I see what's being picked up/consumed/produced during brewing? The whole process seems wholly opaque and I have no idea what's being taken and what's being created. Also, how do you see how large a farm plot is? It seems like if you create two plots next to each other, they act as two fully separate plots, but there's no way to see where the edge is.

That seems rediculously vulnerable to getting slaughtered in a siege. This is older knowledge from a few versions ago, still have not got this far on my new attempts, but once you breached the caverns it seeded your fortress for growing cave flora wherever it could, so if you made a big chamber, flooded and drained it like you would for farmland, but just left it empty, it'll eventually caverninize into an area you could use as a underground pasture without all the danger of actually using the caverns. Punching a large hole in the ceiling and walling around the hole on the surface also works for above ground flora with dirt floors, but leaves you at risk from flyers.
