![]() ![]() ![]() Making Worlds the Easy Wayįire up Dwarf Fortress and from the start menu scroll down and chose “Create World Now”. Or perhaps you just want to start a new game in a new land. Me, I got confused reading those so when I wanted something tricky done chose to whine on the Bay12 forums until someone helped me! Thanks forum geeks!Įr, where was I, perhaps I should answer the question in my title there! Why do we want to generate our own worlds? Well, generally it is because we want to create a specific type of environment (haunted glaciers with skeletal whales FTW!) or we want to make sure we have an interesting and exciting place to build (build a volcano inside a fortress inside a volcano!). We’re going to be covering just the first way as the others make my brain hurt and I’m not a damn masochist! If you are interested in doing things the hard way you can head over to the wiki and check out the guides to advanced world generation and pre-generated worlds. You can do it the easy way (default world generation), the slightly complex way (custom parameter setting) or the really hard way (world gen file manipulation). World building is a subtle and arcane art in Dwarf Fortress. Well, you’re in luck, because that’s what we’re talking about today!Ī tutorial on custom party settings (organising what your dwarfs embark with) will come some time after this one, scout’s honour. If you’ve played along with our tutorial so far you may be itching to try out making your own world and finding a new place to build your next dwarfy citadel (perfectly laid out – as detailed on the notepaper you doodled on at work all day). Welcome to the tutorial that was never meant to be! The 13th Tutorial, by popular request, on world building. I’ve written a book – Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress, available at O’Reilly and Amazon! It covers the current version and takes you from knowing nothing to being a confident Dwarf Fortress player! ![]()
