Hello!

I started adventure and did a few quests: killed 2-3 monsters in small dirt holes. But then I got a quest to kill some hydra (?) in a CAVE.

First of all I looked for an endrance for 40 minutes. I was soooo glad when I found it. First, the cave was like a room or three rooms with a way forward and a way out on each floor. After some time I found myself in a LARGE area with nothing but web and plants. I was trying to find anything and ... lost. I couldnt find a way out and died in the cave

So I have a couple of questions

1. How do I find endrances more efficiently? I had to jump to get to cave entrance

2. How do I find my target in such a large cave?

3. How do I get out? Any map maybe?

4. Are all of current DF's so poorly designed? I mean nothing inside sometimes. Is there a reason to go deep and deep down ? I found nothing there.

5. How do I get better weapons/armor? I can see only Iron things.

6. Is there a way to turn off the hunger?

Howdy! I have an insane amount of hours in rimworld, So i decided to try df and it was rough but i think i surpassed the shock of the UI ( take me a while).

I already played for a couple of hours and i started to get hooked. Manage to get a fortress running... Kinda.

I get a couple of angry dwarfs, some possessed for some reazon, some go berserk, other vomit uncontrollably. I think i know why that happened

But the thing that i dont get is why one die of dehydration, when i have drinks, more than one for dwarf in that moment.

Also Some of them refuse to do planting work even when they were assigned to do only that.

Also i have this dummy questions:

How do i get more seeds to plant more mushroms? (Beside trading)

How i make them more happy?

A dinner hall can be also a tavern or something?

How many cats are to much cats?

Wath kind of land you usually embark and why?

Can i weaponize a river? or the flow of water on some way ?

Im gonna start a new fortress tomorrow, mi first "running" fortress enter a downward spiral and i cant stand it :(

Thanks for reading!

Two things: Im in mobile posting, sorry if the structure of the text become hard to read. Im not a native english speaker, reading is fine but my writing can be horrible, sorry for that.

I am on df classic 51.02, and after a few ambushes and mining incidents (runaway aquifer), i've realized none of my deceased dwarves are showing up anywhere, in any menu.

I see a few of my visitors who got ganked by an ogre, and I think maybe a human who joined as a citizen (might be mistaken) on the list of dead.

In the last update, the search function seems to have changed… Now I can't search for numbers or special characters—only alphabetic characters. WHY?!

This has completely ruined my workflow for looking up the residents of my fort. I used to be able to search my population using tags like (a), (b), (c) to denote age groups. I also used symbols like !, @, #, and $ for special cases—like dwarves I was trying to get married.

But now, for no apparent reason, this functionality has been removed. Why fix what wasn’t broken?

Adams brothers, please revert these unnecessary changes!

Can no longer search for \"(e)\" for example...

I find that when I get well established into a fort I start getting overwhelmed. For example, I’m working on getting my smithing up and running by creating a system to get magma in place, but now I’ve got 50 new migrants, so fifty new bedrooms I have to make with fifty new beds and doors. I’m halfway through that when suddenly I get a new noble so I have to make his quarters and tomb and office and just then there’s suddenly a raid and now I have to make new tombs for the fallen and after that the guilds start asking for halls. Then temples, then more raids, then more migrants.

How do you manage it? It’s truthfully not a big deal, I’m not going insane over it, I’d just like to know how the rest of you manage all this stuff piling up. Feels like all my projects move at a snails pace because I’m busy doing other tedious stuff.

I receive notice of this visitor and zoom to her location. She hopped into a remote pond at the edge of my map and is just chilling.

neat

I thought perhaps she was stuck, and I'm one click away from ordering a channel tile to free her when multiple ambush groups are spotted. There are several thieves flanked by a raiding party. During the ensuing fight, one of the thieves flees near her pond and thinks to take a few pot-shots at her. She easily dodges and plants a few of her own arrows in this would be assailant (who sadly manages to escape). She then returns to her pond and is pleased about improving her combat skills. Eventually a miner gets out there and channels a tile at the edge, but no. She's content to just hang out there (at least until I build a tavern, probably)

get wrecked, thief

arrow to the knee (also that lisp, lol)

Transcribed text: A Human warrior clenches the handle of his bloodied battle axe, the bronze blade shimmering wirh fresh cruor. It is the closing minutes of the Battle of Kinglift, occurring on the 6th of Felasite, 487 MA (Mythic Age). The attacking Goblin forces of the "Gory Flags" have been routed by a coalition of Human, Dwarven, and Elven defenders, given the name of "The Purple Pillars." This victory shall give the defending forces time to regroup and reinforce.

i haven't even unpaused yet!

So… I accidentally created a waterfall while rerouting a river on a temperate biome map. I had to dig down at the edge of the map to reach rock so that I could smooth it and carve fortifications in the map edge tiles, allowing the water to drain off the map, and apparently the slope was steep enough to create mist.

Fast forward one season and I got a warning about missing kids, who were eventually found as kiddie cubes. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my entire fortress was raving in the waterfall around the thawing bodies, conducting meetings in the mist.

Moral of the story: outdoor waterfalls freeze, and apparently dwarven kids are too dumb to come in out of the cold.

Rimworld player here. You guessed it.

I killed some dude in front of his wife and not only nobody was chasing me, but she was talking with me like nothing even happened.

I thought that with all of the relationship systems something interesting could happen, but no.

So, committing crimes is boring? Or I'm missing something?

I've been following a streamer recently whom I found out about on Youtube, and I was wondering if we are allowed to share links in here since he puts a lot of effort into his editing and videos. + It's fun and it's DF. :D
He streams like a couple times a week and turns his streaming footage into an edited Youtube video, I make it into his videos from time to time. x'D It's a good time, I invite everyone that enjoys DF videos like me to give it a watch! It's totally worth it.

Btw, I assume this is fine to post right?
