If you can get it from a caravan and it's cheaper than making it yourself, do that. I think about what I need next year and start preparing for that now. While the only people I've lost were both fisherman, a miller who decided to go for a walk (probably to pick up wood), and a woodcutter who got hit in the ear and bled to death over a year's time, I still don't have a proper meeting hall or traps.įor you, though, I'd suggest you use this rule of thumb: What will I need next year, and can I get it from a caravan? That's generally what I do until I'm self-sustaining. I've killed two titans, and three simultaneous goblin ambushes from my marksdwarves alone (followed by hammerdwarves to clean up the mess or protect the depot).
I'm in year 3, with a 3-Z level tower with foritifcations that connects to another 2-Z level tower (atop a hill) with a bridge, that connects to the only entrance to my fort (which is above the trade depot, left open so that my guys can shoot down into it). The biggest flaw with this is that I tend to neglect my meeting hall for a while, and I don't usually add traps in. Towers are so awesome in spotting goblin ambushes, and I like to get started on that early because it takes so long to build. I also build my hospital and barracks above ground. What happens next is dependent on what sort of immigrants I get, but within the first year I like to establish -someone- as my smelter, someone as a cook/brewer, and at least have one person in the military. Otherwise, doors, chairs, and tables.īy now, it's usually summer, and I start planning specific stockpiles for trades. Step 10: If in a dangerous area, build an unconnected wall around fort. Step 9: Dig out stockpiles near surface in sand. Step 6: If dealing with a river, build floodgates and make a quick cistern using the stone from the fort-spine, and a few mechanisms to operate it. Otherwise, miners dig a long shaft down that serves as the spine of my fort. Step 5: If dealing with ponds, dig it out to muddy the farming area.
Dwarves, now done with gathering food, start bringing wood inside. Meanwhile, the woodcutter is gathering wood. I also undesignate my miners hauling and my woodcutter's hauling at this point. Too many of my forts died to sudden Rhesus Macque attacks to take a chance on it, IMO. Step 3: Set food stockpiles so the unbusied dwarves carry that shit inside. Usually I look for water, dig toward it, and then dig out my farm and food stockpiles first. Step 1b: If I'm making picks, I make them now.
