  • Dwarf Fortress is an incredible game, but its got "a few" quirks that take some time to get use to. Tombs are also one of them.

      Same! I've been playing on and off for roughly the last decade and a half, so glad this game can reach a broader audience with a UI made for human beings 😅

    Hot Tip for new players:
    Dig down to -100 elevation ASAP! If nothing happens, dig down to -150. If nothing happens keep going.
    Only veterans know this but you get a secret cave! It's full of goodies that you'll need for early game.

    It would be nice if you could just create a single zone containing all coffins, instead of a separate zones for each one. Hopefully in a future update.

    I set up a bunch of tombs, and my dwarves are refusing to bury their dead 😢
    I have the zones set to the deceased dwarves (immediately after they died) and they are just laying there in the middle of the hallway.
    They eventually rotted and turned into ghosts. I made a corpse stockpile zone and they wouldn’t get moved there either.

    • @BoardAndConfused
      @BoardAndConfused  Год назад +3

      There are a few ways you can mitigate this, but I can't promise it will ever stop fully 😅Perhaps the hardest lesson in DF is learning to let go of control. We're effectively running ant colonies here, and our dwarfs won't always do what we want them to.
      You're on the right track with getting everything setup though, one potential fix would be to goto the labor menu and create a custom profession specifically for burial, then you could assign it to a few specific dwarves and restrict their labor (atleast for a little while) until the corpses are moved.
      I like to create a corpse stockpile that strictly holds dwarves close to my tomb(s), helps get bodies from the stockpile to the tombs a bit faster that way.
      Good luck!

      @@BoardAndConfused Thanks! I'll try making a specific job next time. The problem was that they would never bury any bodies ever and eventually I lost my base to murderous ghosts. Better luck next time...

  • @КусаниеКрасногоКоня

    IIRC, in the "classic" DF you could just place a single large zone and stuff it with coffins. It was way more convenient.

      I'd still encourage you to check out the wiki if/when you get stuck, lots of really great info on there but I also have to agree. There are way to many tutorial videos out there that are 30+ minutes. DF already has a reputation for being incredibly complicated and hard to learn, and those videos reinforce that point lol. That's what inspired me to start making these.

    @JonesCrimson Год назад +3

    Bro, the worst shit just happened to my fort, I had a pop of 100 and I was building dorms and stuff, and a Goblin army shows up like "Give us that named engraved floor bars" and I was like 'Yeah whatevs" but a hunter led a Giraffe into them and the resulting conflict made them go on a massacre.
    And then a Giantess attacked.
    And then my dwarves ran out of water, which kind of makes the previous catastrophes seem inconsequential.
    So now I've got 97 corpses, 6 dwarves, and a lot of hauling to do.

    • @boatoflol

      really now? If I remember correctly in "old" DF I could just hammer 20 coffins in one hole, choose one coffin to create the tomb and it was communal ready to automatically take 20 remains.

    But you have to have a separate zone for each coffin amirite? And diety forbid if you accidentally unassign a zone from a filled coffin. You're going to have a bad(fun?) time reassigning every coffin in the game.

    • @BoardAndConfused
      @BoardAndConfused  Год назад

      For a shared tomb like the one in the video, sadly this seems to be the only option atm. Hoping sometime in the future we'll see an update to how the multi designation works with tombs. It would be a lot more convenient to lay out one zone instead of 10s/100s.

      Well it's not but you can get problem with the body rotting fume can spread easily within tight space fills countless dead bodies , another problem is would be necromancer since it can be a dreadful to be dealt with when there is an endless animated corpses in one room, so to mitigate the problem in the future, you can build just like from this video

    • @jackmaney4276
      @jackmaney4276 Год назад

      Yes you can. Unless you want an entire room to be a tomb for just one person (eg a noble), you can make one large tomb area and prettymuch fill it with coffins. That would be the better way to do this rather than make little 1x1 zones.

    • @hihohe4067
      @hihohe4067 Год назад +1

      No multi is for making multiple rooms a single tomb. If you did multi it will only make one tomb that will be taken by one dwarf when they die then they wont bury anyone else. Gotta build multiple closed rooms for multi to work

    • @BoardAndConfused
      @BoardAndConfused  Год назад +4

      This ^ so from my experience with how Tombs now work on the steam release, if you're doing one big room you need to designate a ton of individual tombs on each coffin, otherwise doing a multi select only creates one big tomb for one dwarf, and the rest will be left out to rot. However IF I happen to be wrong on this and the designation just lies to you in game (Showing assigned to a single dwarf, but is actually assigned to all), larger zones may actually work and would infact be way less work and a lot less tedious to setup.

    A single tomb room for all dwarves is simply barbaric.
    You need a small room for each dwarf and a large room with decorations for nobles/heroes/stupid and funny deaths.
