As you can see below, all rooms are way bigger than they need to be. A single chair, preferably not overlapping with any other function (such as dining or bedroom) is all that is needed for a study. For lack of a better place to put them, I built a manager’s office and a bookkeeper’s office somewhat mixed into the nobility quarters. At some point in the game I may have to shuffle titles of nobility around to dwarves who posses actual skills relevant for that office.Īlso, certain offices apparently need to have a study in order to function. I also assigned a random dwarf to the title of manager because I wanted to see what that did. As such, both Ducim and Datan will require special quarters (pictured below, to the left side of the fortress). So, Ducim Buzatducim is now the official bookkeeper by virtue of random assignment. Both bookkeeper and expedition leader are titles of nobility. The game recommended that I assign a bookkeeper. A Donkey and a Water Buffalo Cow starved to death :< A few migrates have arrived, adding to the population. High points so far: A few of the bedrooms have been claimed so that dwarves are actually sleeping on actual comfy beds and not in the designated common area on B2. I queued up several doors at the woodworking station but for some reason the dwarf assigned to said station has been on “break” for about a month. I am not sure how one would go about making a gate at this point. Since my fortress is essentially a giant open hole in the ground, I built this wall thing around the entrance area. Pretty sure that I need to adjust where refuse is kept or something along those lines According to the Internet, vermin remains do not generate miasma (whatever that does sounds not so good), so it may not matter I guess? Regardless, I wouldn’t want hamster remains in MY stockpiles. Upon further inspection, it appears that they are hamster remains. I noticed that my stockpiles had a weird purpley icon on them that I haven’t seen before.

The north most room now containing a mason let workshop.The fortress is layed out in a somewhat random manner but it is what it is The south most room in level B2 is now a dedicated eating area. It’s a bit easier to keep track of items visually, now that everything isn’t lumped together in one room. I have also created separate stockpiles for wood, food, and furniture (room to the right of the bedrooms). Each room is 2×2 and contains a bed, chest, and a door. Dwarves, like the rest of us, seem to enjoy having their own living quarters. I dug out a dedicated section for living quarters on level B1 and moved all of the beds over from the B2 dormitory. I still don’t have much of an idea in regards to what I should be doing or preparing for but I figured that sporadic wiki searching + figuring it out on my own is more fun than following a step by step tutorial.

Population 7.Īt this (early early) point in the game, I have started breaking away from the tutorials now that I have become somewhat self sufficient by learning to produce food, build things, etc. Today I learned that fortresses have names.
