Dwarf Fortress Tips - Burrows

Dwarf Fortress is an incredible game, but its got "a few" quirks that take some time to get use to. Thankfully Burrows are pretty straight forward.

i might pick this game up after kenshi has given my soul back

[@BoardAndConfused]

Ah yes, that's a tough one to kick lol

[@RabblerouserGT]

We need Civ Alerts back.
The problems with this method is
a) the current burrows way of doing things, it's considered a suggestion rather than a command, and dorfs will sometimes path outside their burrow
b) you'll be assigning each dorf one by one.
What they need is a button on the burrow with a big fuck-off red exclamation mark that tells ALL civvies to rush into that burrow. AND TO CANCEL ALL ACTIVE JOBS OUTSIDE OF THE BURROW. Zero-tolerance. I don't care how much you enjoy smoothing the tomb, Urist McDumbass. GO. THE FUCK. INSIDE.

[@BoardAndConfused]

Yeah I totally agree, I really miss having access to civ alerts vs having to add every citizen to the burrow manually.. Hope we'll see it or something like it added back to the game soon. Or at the VERY least an add all button. The UI overall is a massive improvement imo, but there are a number of things missing or that are now even more tedious then they were before that could use some improvement.

[@Spacemonkeynz]

having a fort with 200 dwarfs, adding each one to a burrow is incredibly tedious. Hopefully they add an 'add all' button.

[@BoardAndConfused]

Yeah I agree, hope Tarn can make a few UI improvements yet. Otherwise I'm quite happy with it :P

[@sanddry738]

Yeah some QOL stuff would be great like having a ruler/numbers on x and y axis while designating, “select all” button, eraser shortcut maybe, etc. But yeah still a great update/game still

[@RabblerouserGT]

Or better yet, find a way to bring back old civ alerts from Classic.

[@maxet9866]

@@RabblerouserGT i rlly miss the alerts

[@Argom42]

I for one would like a constructions simplification, make it easier and more straightforward to build grand Dwarven halls and fortifications...right now it's just tedium and difficulty :c

Loving these little helpful bits! Found you through the front page and watched some of your other videos, The Control review was excellent!

[@BoardAndConfused]

Thank you!!!😁

[@uggima1]

YAY thanks for the confirmation that the white outline is suspended.... Just needed to check as there is nothing anywhere in game.

[@BoardAndConfused]

You betcha! 😁

[@rattlesalad4472]

Wait a minute, does steam release doesn't explain burrow alert? a thing that doesn't make you to assign dwarf instead make them all go in the burrow?

[@BoardAndConfused]

Believe it or not, I don't think the Steam release even explains burrows lol. I haven't been able to find burrow alerts with the Steam release either, since the military screen as we knew it basically doesn't exist anymore.

[@ApertureAce]

Yeah I've been searching and searching but there doesn't appear to be an alert function in the Steam release. At this point anyway...

[@rugbyf0rlife]

yeah but do burrows also restrict your military's movement?

[@BoardAndConfused]

They do not, military dwarfs will prioritize your orders over burrows 🙂

[@RabblerouserGT]

To my knowledge, only when they're off-duty.
And even then, it feels like people still wanna peek outside. >:(

[@lokstercoolwhip]

Very handy much thanks

[@BoardAndConfused]

Glad you found it useful!
