Fantastic guide! Couple extra tips for min-maxing your embark:
- cave spider silk thread/cloth is cheaper than the pig tail stuff you get by default, so you can swap it out for easy points
- the raw ingredients for most items are cheaper than the item, so get rid of the buckets, crutches etc. and bring more wood. The one exception are the starting tools and weapons so you can leap into action but that weaponsmith you specced can make higher quality items for your future armies
Love this advice, I'm not much of a Min-maxer but I totally get why you'd want to do that! I'll need to try this myself for my future forts
I've accrued like over a thousand hours in dorf fort since I was a wee lad in 2011 and I still love watching new player guides. Everyone focuses on different things and really reflects the creator's play style.
This one's engaging, informative and pretty damn funny
Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely have a different style, but I hope it was engaging for people who might enjoy something different from what's currently on YT.
Also in hindsight, maybe Adil made an animal trap because he wants to do something about the snapping turtle problem? Or maybe it's because he was trapped like an animal under the constructed bridge? Lots to ponder~
11:59 "The turtle seems to trying to intimidate us"
Giant Snap Turtle Thoughts, "I'm going to kill his dog and flee off the map just to ruin his day."
@@NTJedi i think he sensed i was trying to make a tutorial and decided to remind us what DF is all about
Ain't no way we got dwarf fortress vtuber before gta 6
civilizations rise and fall before gta 6 unfortunately
@@VonGalactic Civilizations? What are those?
This is some perfect timing. I was looking into playing Dwarf Fortress. Great video and hope to see more of them
I'll do my best!!!!
Saw you getting some criticism in the comments so as a veteran of this game i want to say that your guide is one of the best ive seen for people trying to get into this game. Its well paced with no dead air, and its concise.
Thank you for making this guide. I wanted to get into DF for a while, but most of the tutorials are way too complicated, but you managed to balance important information, ease of understanding and humor. I feel way more confident on my way to become a true dwarf.
Lets mine togther bro
@@VonGalactichaha rock and stone brother
This guide is very concise and well-paced, I will use it for help when starting my next fort, thank you ⛏️
Thanks for watching!!! I'm really glad.
Bought the game a week ago, this video was a godsend to set up my fortress good and proper. Granted there's video tutorials that are basically an 8-week correspondence course that offer more in-depth information, but this is sufficient enough to get the ball rolling the right way without taking too much time to watch.
Thanks so much!!! Yeah with such a detailed game I can't cover EVERYTHING, but I mostly wanted to show the info I wanted to know when I was new to the game - I'm glad you liked it!!
Great, brief video. Exactly what I was looking for + your accent, voice, demeanor are very pleasing.
You're too kind
Wow great work on the guide! I just started learning DF and want to say your guide is one of the best I’ve come across. Good pace and very concise with just the right touch of comedy. Hope you keep it up as I’m sure your channel will grow.
Somehow you've made a guide that is tempting me to start playing. Don't even have the game yet lol
SOON!!!!!!!
As a beginner, I can say this video was awesome and useful to me ! It is very comprehensive yet fairly easy to understand. Thus far, I've been learning from the wiki quickstart guide but I wish I had stumbled across your channel before...
Oh and the voice, it's simply relaxing :D
Thanks for making this guide !
This video is both well made and fun to watch. You should continue this in a sort of series.
Thanks! Yeah I was thinking of doing a video about aquifers and water stuff, just cause I know it's always a point of confusion and a meme on my Twitch that I always mildly flood things
this helped me out a ton! thanks man excited to see what's to come next
Thanks so much! (I have no idea what my next video will be)
I went to watch more of videos and was sorely disappointed that there was only one other one. Please keep up the good work as this video was wonderful
Thank you so much!!! I've got another video in the oven - I'll do my best to post it asap!!!
Seconding this, and newly subbed!
with this voice... this man should voice documentaries that run at 11pm on the discovery channel
For you baby, i will do.
Thought it was AI tbh
Thanks for making this! i dabble in DF once in a while and every time i do a look at a quick tutorial to get me back in the mood. Well done on it!
Thanks so much! I'll try to keep making more videos like this in the future :)
Great tutorial. Great narration and the format is well put together. Exactly what this sort of game needs as a practical tutorial after you got the theory.
I'm glad! I was worried my style was too speedy/condensed but people seem to really react well to it! Thanks so much for watching :)
@@VonGalactic While the speed is fine (one has pause after all), what is a bit difficult when trying to follow along as a total beginner, is that your voiceover is often several seconds behind what you are showing in the screen. So that if I pause the video, what I'm seeing often doesn't relate to what I've just heard at all.
Jumping back a bit helps often, and thankfully your voice is very pleasing so the repetition isn't terrible :)
It's cool and enthusiastic quick-guide, still just some input in case you'll consider doing more guides in the future to clean-up the sync in editing a bit more.
@@mx-hx Thanks for the feedback! I'm still really REALLY new to making tutorials so it's all been a learning experience for me. I'm taking your feedback into account for future videos though!!
Amazing guide! Very helpful for new players as someone that is interested in this game this is super helpful and easy to follow!! thank you ♥
Thank you my queen
Loved the video. I am new to this game and honestly there is so much to do in it I am pretty lost but found your video gotta say great content.
Thanks so much! Theres loads more to cover but hopefully this got you on the right track!
Bought the game yesterday on steam and got 2.5 hours into it and was still super confused. This guide cleared up a lot of things for me. Thanks!
I'm so glad!!! I really hope you have fun with it, it's my favorite game
I'm a DF veteran but I always like a well done tutorial for new players
Good job, have fun
I'm so glad you like it! Its my fav game too i'm just happy more people can get involved with my video
19:20 "it's off center, I'll flay myself later" -- that's me 200% 😂 glad to see I'm not the only mental
Yeah I nearly reached for the basket of tomatoes and rotten eggs to pelt at myself xD
666th sub btw
thank you!!!!!!!!!!! i'm happy to have you here, we will learn together xD
Well, this was not overwhelming at all. I’m sure I’m gonna remember everything!
Praying for you homie
Good guide! You have a great natural cadence and voice for YT, I agree with another commenter in that!
Thanks so much! Comments like yours really spur me on to keep trying with this whole RUclips thing, thanks for your kindness honestly :)
@@VonGalactic I believe in ya man, I aim to do some YT soon too and when I sees a small channel doing a great job I says something! 😊
Also I'm curious if bite-sized dwarf fortress RUclips shorts would play well with the algo-- whether that be tips or lil stories idk
Wonderful guide! Would love to see more.
Thanks so much!! I've got some ideas...
Its being years since i played this game and didnt even remmenber how to dig or make a stockpile to begin whit it
Thx buddy
Any time! I hope you have loads of fun with it
I hope the game goes on sale soon. But I'll be totally overwhelmed lol
you got this!
Dear Algorithm..... BOOST THIS!
@@derricktalbot8846 PLEAASSEEEE RUclipsEEE
Amazing video! Would love to see more.
Good news! I just dropped a new one! xD Thanks so much for watching I'm really glad you like it!!
Thank you this is perfect all the other guides I saw were either outdated or weirdly formatted!
Thanks! To be honest I took inspo from outside the DF niche to get it this way xD
"Comprehensive" + "Dwarf Fortress" = 30 minutes?
This is going to be hilarious.
Edit: not bad, but far from "comprehensive" or "ultimate". Poor newbies that think they know how to handle aquifers and ignore the heavy aquifer warning. For a start.
I meaaaan i'm trying to invite people into the game without an intimidating info dump 3 hour video showing every single thing at your disposal, after this vid you'll at least be set up with understanding of how to tackle future dilemmas rather than having no core understanding of how to play the game.
Things like heavy aquifers or haunted biomes don't need me to visually show it due to them being self explanatory as a more aggressive version of what is shown here, with my guide you can pretty reliably continue playing for the next 100 hours or till the fort explodes.
Subscribed. I like your style of play, and you're great at explaining stuff quickly. I'm definitely gonna adjust my start to include a lot of these steps. I'm pretty new to all this, but I realize I need to increase my difficulty by picking a more dangerous starting location
I'm really glad you liked it! Remember even if you pick a harder zone and it might not work out, you'll probably learn along the way and tackle it differently each time :)
woah this blows all the other beginner guides out the water NICE
you're too kind! thanks for enjoyin the vid
a real in depth guide with lots of humor 10/10 would dwarf again :3
I'm glad i did you proud 😎🔥
Love this game. I just could never get past the graphics, so I’d always stop playing.
Love the features and how deep it is. I just can’t get past the graphics at ALL. The static moving camera panning, the sprites moving statically (If y’all can understand what I mean by that.)
I totally get what you mean, I know its gonna kinda sound silly but I kinda treat DF the same as DnD, doing more reading and imagining than actually experiencing it like a normal videogame
The random generation systems and various simulations that Dwarf Fortress runs get all the credit for being the big signature features of the game's engine but honestly the work order system is phenomenal, incredibly in depth and as much as it might seem intimidating, these days it's pretty easy to use. The game would be completely unmanageable after a few hours of playtime per fort without it, and it allows you to be in depth and organized so that everything runs like a complex clock or relaxed and spontaneous, just putting in work orders as the need for them arises, and both methods are at the very least viable.
Totally agree! To be honest I love work orders mostly because it allows the Dwarfs to micro while I can focus on the macro
They're a good way to practice "if x then y" programming logic
Great content! Thank you!
Ive tried to play the game several times but never really "got" it. This is very helpful to get me on track
Hell yeah! Let me know if you need any more help I'm always happy to give advice
@@VonGalacticjust having your explanation of how plump helmets work and explaining wall smoothing has given me a much clearer idea of progression. Thank you!
Probably the best starting DF tutorial I ever seen on RUclips!
You're too kind! Thank you for enjoying it, I hope to make even better videos in the future!!
Is that a metal cap that looks like a Stahlhelm in the thumbnail?
Now this is dwarf maxing
Dwarfpilled sigmas doin tricks in the mine 2k24
you make great videos :D
Thanks so much
Oh, didn't know cats killed shit.
Was wondering why my fortress had so many remains of small creatures all over it😂
Yeah and what's cute is that if they have an owner they will drop the vermin remains with their Dwarf xD so realistic
DF open in widow and watching this. Thanks!
I hope i'm a good co-pilot!
@@VonGalactic You are pleasant to listen to, and easy enough to follow! Im having to pause a lot and go back to catch little things, but overall it is helping me understand the initial setup so I can at least begin to experiment. Thank you for the time you put into it.
@@Kovhextv Thanks so much! I'll try to put more out for you to enjoy :)
At 3:14 "Mind The Gap" London style :)
I lived in London for a loooong time I just had to xD
This vod is poggers! Did I say that right?
Mmmmnyessss, you did precious....
i may be a bit skittle brained but this video was relatively to follow along with
made my heart grow 2 times as big and my beard 2 inches longer
Hopefully height 2 inches shorter too
“Dwarf-pilled sigma” you say
perhaps
There's an enormous distance between a guide and a Let's Play. Why would you not even attempt to explain anything you're pointing out, or anything about the underlying mechanics at all?
Because it's a game, so I go into the details a beginner might need while omitting the exhaustive explanation that'd throw them into deeper confusion. Try to keep up!
That was fast and intense! I hope I can wrap my mind around it all!
You got this!
Awesome video
off topic comment.....
at 0:42 when you mentioned to subscribe the subscribe button lit up all colorful. Weird and cool little feature. is this something you intentionally did?
That is RUclips's AI listening to everything that a video says. And learning. The robots are taking over.
When you said "Plump Helmets" i had a MASSIVE Panic Attack from the "Fortress Flashback" i had, when i very first started playing a year or so ago. LOL Oh man! that SUCKED!
Very nice. Wantet to start again and get a small overview
I'm glad I could help give a bit of advice on how to start!
@@VonGalactic ok for the future please put information like the dwarf stats at the start in a list. It is hard to follow because of the fast pacing
@@Brennmeister No worries! Sorry it was so fast, I honestly don't think it matters toooooo much, purely cause you'll be getting more Dwarves later. but below is what I did for these guys:-
Dwarf 1: Mining 5 / Stonecraft 5
Dwarf 2: Masonry 5 / Forge Armor 5
Dwarf 3: Woodcutting 5 / Carpentry 5
Dwarf 4: Mining 5 / Forge Weapon 5
Dwarf 5: Negotiation 1 / Appraisal 3 / Organization 3 / Record Keeping 3
Dwarf 6: Axedwarf 5 / Leadership 5
Dwarf 7: Brewing 5 / Herbalism 5
Intro looking good!
Finally I will be able to play the game instead of perma resetting bases.
Yeah keep it up! Imo the most fun is fighting through a difficult base so you get better at beating the odds
@@VonGalactic I guess I just get frustrate bc some times I lose track of what I m doing I once made a farm but then for some reason they where only picking half the crops and then decided to move the farm to lower levels but I didn't know how to do it and then gone to the wiki to find some help but it felt to confusing and hard to follow
Nice Job, Nice Voice
Thanks so much
yes
Wait, mind goblin??
Don't make me say it
this is a great video if, like me, you've dabbled but don't have a consistent start.
I'm glad you liked it!!!
essential guide to df. even for veterans
You're too kind! I tried to make sure it was filled with everything I wanted to know as a beginner myself :)
Blah blah blah youtube this guy is awesome go recommend him to other people
I'm glad i give you internet access from the cell I keep you in
von i dont have the brain for all those information but i might buy this game because of you one day what did you do to me ?! (also metalfool sound like a fail band name sorry xd)
Hell yeah! it's a load of fun with endless content honestly
good vid good editing too
thanks!!! I'm gonna drop the hard subs though next time, I think I overdid it a bit (someone complained) xD
@@VonGalactic looked great to me as a new creator myself I look up to you guys for inspiration and help
Song of syx blows this out of the water by far and it's still in development. Oof
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DWARF FORTRESS where i have not learned anything signifcant
watch it again but next time make sure to have your mother push your cot closer to the screen 😄
@@VonGalactic let me make guides to game i suck at
Idk what video you watched, but I learned a shit ton, my guy
@@timg6290 so basic and boring
Algorithmic!
keep uploading plz
Will do! The next one is probably gonna be on my current ongoing fortress :)
What is a mind-goblin?
@@enginiusz511 MIND GOBLIN DEEZ NUTS
@@VonGalactic 😱😱😱 AAAAAAA- *gets deleted*
Man. I hate subtitles I can't disable. So annoying!
Yes
I almost watched this but the anime and stickers are way to much
:(
Solid guide. Zoomer memes were cringe but what can you do.
Thanks bud glad you liked it, next time I'll veto the zoomer stuff and splice an episode of M.A.S.H or Blackadder in or something instead
I'm still scared to try it lol
DO IT!
@@VonGalactic I did yesterday actually and played the tutorial, but then it just kind of pulled the rug out from under me and I forgot where a lot of things are in the menus, didn't understand zoning too well, where the beds ended up after I made them, where to plant my first crops etc...
pausing at 10:40 to say
Look at this coward, showing his knife-ears and mapping a 2 by 2 main stairway.
3 by 3 or get out.
(jk play how you want as you said)
A CENTRAL STAIRWAY???? ART THOU AFFLICTED WITH MADNESS???? MINE EARES ARE BLUNT AS THE BLACKSMITHS ANVIL, I SUPPOSE DWARVES CLAMBER OVER EACH OTHER TO THE THE CENTER STAIR OF YOUR FORTRESS?!?!
@@VonGalactic WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE STAIRWAY, MILKSOP? TOO TIRED TO DIG?
Turn off your popping subtitles next time. YT has CC as a common feature now.
What's with the anime vtuber crap?
Edit: mighty good video, though!
@@Vlamyncksken my condolences, I'm a massive weeb 🥲
what in the fuck is that annoying popping subtitling?
I'm sorry :(
don't quit your day job lol
Yeah they'll never replace me at the fucking your mum factory (I'm employee of the month)
@@VonGalactic OWNEDD
I see the anime avatar and stop watching
I'm glad it wards off people like you
