There's enough booze there to make me wish that booze counted as fluids in the same way water and magma did, just to see how much of the map you could fill with it. You could make a booze mist generator in the tavern!

The naked alcoholic dwarven hold. I think it's epic. No food. Just booze and dreams of empty bookcases.

Who needs clothing when there are 600 barrels of booze for each dorf?

Dwarf consumes about 20 units of alcohol per year. This much drinks should last 200 dwarves about 3 full years to consume.

I am sooo used to playing on a potato from 2007 that I still to this day use 3x3 embark, 50 pop cap 75 strict, and small worlds on dwarf fortress which on my modern day machine and with the optimizations since then, it makes my game go zooooom, but after seeing this fortress, it makes me wanna try something a bit more ambitious.

A series of you fixing fortresses with big issues sounds really good!

Yeah, this place needs a clearance sale next time the traders come. _And_ cooking the booze, there's so much of it... Also, my stairwells are diamond- rather than X-shaped. Will that be less optimal since that'll have a chance of a dwarf looking at two others?

He's leaving his farms to "leave fallow"

thank you for explaining seed barrels. I'll definitely start putting seed bags on the floor from now on

I uploaded my file and now see this, my 200 dwarfs living with a ~12x6 farming plot :D The library is just some bookcases and has way more written books, BUT that looks way cooler!! You can chose your faction before you embark (I learned thata to late)!

I'd love to see a series where you critique forts, especially when you take problems you see in that specific fort and talk about general strategies to avoid them.

very impressive

I would make food with booze with this much booze. Hahaha... hic!

9:24 @Blind you could toggle the rocks to hide and see the better version of it.

interesting design for the library and dining hall

I think this fort is victim of its own ambition, everything is just built way too large. I think the 565 bookcase library with 3 written objects in it says the most here. Game isn't meant to have forts this large or handle this much stuff going on at the same time, i know i had to unlearn my desire to overbuild everything atleast.

it would be great to see the computer parameters. FPS measurements before optimization and after. Do tips really change performance significantly. there would be a proof

I see, i too might have an over production problem. Though its not on the same scale as this. I am currently trying to get rid of alot of goods in my stockpile like worn clothes and alot of other shit. I also had som issues with the my millitary not equipping it self properly. So i have decided to smelt everything down except for two squads gear. And re orgnize it. Sadly some masterworks has to go in the process, but as log as i take it slow it should be fine. I also love libraries i have them in every fort with a significant paper industry

Actually the more farmplot ypou have the less efficient farming becomes. Especially if you gonna need fertilise it

*Captain Jack Sparrow :* At least we have *Rum*

Something i would love to see is a good way to scale up things in DF. In Rimworld most of the things he mentioned like overproduction really have been an issue but in DF I’ve noticed the paces is a lot slower so you can process stuff at the pace you use it

The central staircase in my fort is a 5x5, didn't think it'd be a huge cause of fps drop but guess I've been screwing myself haha

The Brazilian urge to play the game in English and put Portuguese names on stuff lmao

That stairway setup gave be back 15 fps, god bless

i really hope they add smokables for dwarves like an extra luxury not required and they can be made from like 5 or so plants guess mods will have to come in clutch for this one

That is an impressive library and tavern… and 12k booze I am in dwarf heaven😂

This is the first time I hear you say to REPLACE the stairs with pillars around 06:45. you always explained the X or cross pattern and you guide people to delete the extra ones, but you never said to replace it with pillars. it makes sense but maybe you should highlight this somewhere. I wanted to use 2 of those spaces to make a waterfall with grates in each floor. But based on what you say, I should block the view somehow to have better framerate. I also see in your game you sometimes do only 3 instead of 5, is there a reason or 3 is quicker in the beginning? (and the fact you have less dwarfs, etc)

Oh. This looks like the kind of problem I have would have, based on how my first rimworld play throughs went....

Hey actually since did just kind of offhand mention it in the last sentence basically, for that X staircase design does it matter whether you've got walls or floors in the extra space?

*Legendary record keeper skill trained

you say that seeds in barrels, only the top is used.... I tend to have my settings as . do NOT mix same type in barrel. does this mean I can use barrels as a space saver for seeds, or will they simply put ALL bags, WITH seed, into same barrel, even if seed is different? I'd still use a small stockpile next to farm for the seed bags, without barrels. was thinking more along the lines of linking those 'next to farm' stockpiles to take from the 'in barrels' stockpile would this work? and if it does, will the barrel get temp checks, or does it check each item in the barrel aswell???

Do items in bins receive temperature checks? I've briefly looked on the internet, but haven't found my answer.

Would using the the storage exploit of minecart dumping stuff into one square get you under control in the short term? Or will all those temp checks/etc. be happening in those dumps too?

I would love tips on getting them to get new clothes. Many of my dwarves complain about worn clothing, not acquiring a new item, etc. Yet, I have loads in stockpiles. Is it the barrels blocking? Is there a command to make them go get new equipment? Thanks! Also, this is a stunning build. That library, ohhh, now I want my next build to be library focused. Wow.

hey blind, is there a video where you show the before and after of deleting these stairs and then later adding the pillars? That would be really interesting to check how much that helps in practice

I found if I make farm plots TOO big, the plans rot I stopped making them big due to my suspicion that rotting plants give ZERO seed back...is this true???

I'm curious and its something I've been concerned about in my starting fort. How do you stay on top of clothing production? How do you know how much you need and when you need it? Is there a minimum a dwarf needs to feel comfortable?

Could someone explain how to move cages sea creatures without airdrowning them

This is the way to playing the game. MASSIVE! Respect!

Hey you seem like the guy who would know this. I keep getting caves without water, or very wonky Z-levels. Here is the catch i like playing with volcanos. While its fun having your dwarves kitted in steel early on, if they suffer even a papercut they end up dying of dehydration in the hospital 🙃 Are there some good world settings i can use?

This feels like it could potentially be one of those 'gimmick' playthrough, with the fortress being 'specialized' in booze production. Though it's ahrd to export it all very easily, given how it weighs a lot...

They could sell all the booze, I over produce food just to sell.

Wow. This looks like a fort for 500 dorfs.

How do I see the seed of my map?

Hey Blind could you make a tutorial on how to increase frame rates? What to get rid of and what not? Should I turn off heat? That would be cool

Hi Blind =) I have a quandry. On my first migrant wave, I keep having bunches of dwarven kids showing up. After 29 years of teaching middle school science, one would think I could handle it, but I can't. Could you do a video on how to train up happy dwarven kids with good skills in a proper zone, or point me to a place where I can learn about it? Thanks so much! A retired teacher.

Limit booze? sounds like Elf talk to me

guild hall dormitory? what?

Sell booze, buy clothes.
