some i liked
this fort is Reinhammers, you can see it online

Is making traps to kill incoming refugee toons the most fun?
I already have 70 toons in my fort, it's at capacity

How the FUCK do you make clothes

you just gotta get in there and plan your layout
I find it helps if you build a reasonably sized above ground wooden structure around your starting wagon with room for a carpenter's workshop and beds, so that you have plenty of time to gradually lay out your underground section as you see fit

"books are bad because there are no pictures"
t. you

Learn to use your fucking imagination, or use a tileset if you're too vapid for that
>absolutely horrendous UI
learn the UI's basics and it's an extremely efficient way of doing all the things that you need to do in Dwarf Fortress.
It's not possible to make the UI simpler when the game is so complex.
Apart from the military screen. That shit really IS overkill.

Yeah, it's going great. Thanks for asking!

I've been building a neat above ground fort (I hate underground forts because I imagine them to be so muddy and depressing lol). And I hope to get a good trading relationship with the elves! Elves are so cool. I wish it was elve fortresses.

I like books

But this is supposed to be a video game, not a book

rip

>>386823860
arent we supposed to get an update soon?

>>386825516
Thanks anon. I had a huge giggle from that. DF is truly a masterpiece.

>>386825838
"MRI and PET scans should be printed in ASCII for doctors to examine"
t. you

sorry but DF might have a decent concept but the ui is terrible

>>386825838
>It's not possible to make the UI simpler when the game is so complex.
Yeah no. That's like defending using DOS commands when windows exist. Look at any other DF clone and note that the thing they do better than DF is the UI.

DF clones aren't anywhere near as complex as DF. That's why their UIs are less complex.
Honestly anon, apply yourself.

How did you make those blue walls?

>>386826471
looks comfy enough

>>386826557
Not him, but those are ponds.
The triangles represent ground sloping down to the water.

Hmmmm

>>386826978
You know that you can designate heaps of things with the mouse, right?

>>386827214
You know that "Only most of the UI is garbage" isn't an argument, right?

>>386826978
>left clicking thousands of different tiles when you want to build a wall
no thanks i'll stick with the current layout thanks

>>386827316
It's not garbage using the cursor layout. It's actually more convenient than traditional RTS/sim format in many situations.

>>386829395
Try making a smaller world on a map with no water, and definitely don't fuck around with fluids.
