PERIDEXISERRANT’S DF WALKTHROUGH¶

The learning curve for Dwarf Fortress has been described as a spiked overhang -
but many of us have fought our way up, and have more fun than any other game
around. This walkthrough, along with the DF Starter Pack, are my attempts to
dangle a rope down, as the community first did for me years ago.


THE WALKTHROUGH¶

Dwarf Fortress is a rare game: every time you start a new game, an entire world
is created anew - everything from geology and weather, to the patterns of trade
in wheat and wars between jealous kings. The fact that there is no script, no
standard storyline that every player goes through, makes a traditional game
walkthrough impossible.

Instead this is more like a tutorial campaign in a strategy game - right down to
playing on the same map, if you download the suggested package. You’re free to
follow along exactly, but also encouraged to experiment (and maybe back up your
save occasionally).

Remember as you play that no matter how skilled you become, without a winning
condition your fortress will inevitably fail - then pick yourself up, reflect on
what you learnt, and recite the motto: Losing is Fun!

 * 1. Getting Started
 * 2. Workshops, Furniture, and Stairs
 * 3. From Cave to Home
 * 4. It almost makes sense!
 * 5. An Industrial Revolution
 * 6. It’s a trap!
 * 7. Nobles and other useless sods
 * 8. Soldiers and your army
 * 9. That’s All, Folks!


TUTORIALS¶

The walkthrough covers the topics you’ll need in every fortress, in just enough
detail to get you started. After that, it’s your decision what to focus on - the
options are endless, from beekeeping to soap-making to digging too deep, or
learning to make and install mods.

Each tutorial is a short, self-contained introduction to a topic which is likely
to be of interest to players who have just finished the walkthrough. And if
you’re most interested in somthing not listed here, the wiki and the Bay12
Forums will be your best friends.

 * Custom Embark Strategies
 * Dig Too Deep
 * Kisat Dur: the Dwarven Martial Art
 * World Generation
 * Managing Dwarven Jobs
 * !!Fun with Magma!!
 * Trading for Fun and Profit


MASTERCLASS¶

A masterclass is a tutorial on an advanced topic, aimed at experienced players.
You’ll be taken through some of the most difficult challenges DF offers, and see
how an expert does things.

 * Training Archers
 * Use of Minecarts

ABOUT¶

The source text and images are hosted on Github and the finished site is
published immediately to readthedocs.org every time a change is pushed.

This project was inspired by TinyPirate’s DF tutorials, which taught me to play
DF. The walkthrough started as an update of these tutorials. Other content is
original or (for some tutorials and most masterclasses) links back to the
primary source.

Consider supporting my work on Patreon.

Learning (and losing) can be fun!
