I know absolutely nothing about this game but so many people seem excited so I am excited to follow along and watch I guess? I can't make heads or tails from the screenshots from the page linked earlier though.

I like my dwarf's somewhat contradictory traits. I know almost nothing about dwarf fortress but I heard it is fun and I am enjoying reading so far!

Also cool with doing some fishing, as since my dwarf "needs alcohol to get through the day" drinking and fishing is a good combo. Also nice on getting a corner room!

The map of our base mostly makes sense to me but the outside view of the land is a bit daunting with my lack of knowledge of this game.

i think the most important thing when first learning dwarf fortress is to not let yourself get bogged down in details. there's a whole lot of information going on in the outside view, but like 3/4 of it can be condensed to "random plant life."

here's a comparison shot with stonesense:



the not-plantlife bits are basically anything not colored green, blue, or green/blue adjacent. all the logs should be clear, but here's a brief overview of the rest:


I won't go as far as to say I have it all figured out, but now that map makes a fair amount more sense then just a pile of symbols, thank you!

It might seem simple, but seeing a little dwarf with my name running around doing stuff makes me happy.

4 out of 6 migrants were fisherman for some reason lol


Is a fishery worker different then a fisherman? My dwarf said fisherdwarf but all the new ones say fishery worker.

e: like in my mind one would catch the fish and the others would gut, prepare, can, etc. but that's just from the names and what I know about commercial fishing and not the game

Why are goblets important / not important?

Twenty Four


Drinking straight from the source? I don't see the problem here.

Wait I forgot this is a game and not my own personal life, except I have a dorf so yes it is now!

Twenty Four


has anyone made a cup?

Twenty Four


i hope my dorf did a thing

last she got a little crazy and possessed and made herself a water buffalo bone pike i think?

i have no idea what that does or if it means anything

I knew EXACTLY what I was doing and it's all going to plan


google THIS posted:

"Look, I made more tables!"

"I thought I specifically asked you to make goblets, cups, or mugs."

"........So, not enough tables?"
