Dwarf Fortress - Quick Tutorial - Simple Plant Cloth Industry
Thanks to the patrons for supporting this video. #dwarffortress #Steam #premium
Just checked - Pig Tails are NOT banned from Brewing by default, so yes you're going to have to make sure to perform that step.
This is what I'm finding particularly useful in this video. The extra menus. Now I know why I have so much alcohol, and not enough thread.
This is probably why 90% of your viewers come here lol
Ahh I needed this tip ages ago, cheers!
Now I know lol been brewing my pig tails then.
I love the videos because they're quick and highly educational for somebody who's learning to play the game. It is helping me to learn things that are secondary to the point of the video. Like now I know why all my dwarves keeps sprinting into the caverns that opened up to collect webs when I didn't tell them to. It's an auto labor. It's also a reason why the cave crocodiles ate everybody.
While you're in the Automated Workshops menu [@ 3:50 ], it's often good to turn off auto collect webs until you've breached the caverns and/or set custom collection labors so that your dwarves don't all run out to pick up that silk and instead get eaten by giant spiders or worse.
I was in a hot climate and I decided to gather some cotton and plant them for thread and I was a blown away by how quickly the industry expanded because you can grow cotton year round, so my current Fortress Is exporting the world's supply of cotton cloth and cotton clothes
I'm inspired to make surface farms! I think I'm going to make walls that completely enclose a surface area that will have enough room for farms and a hatch that leads down into the main fortress.
This short tutorials are amazing. Do you have any tips on what clothing pieces are important to make? And how to get dwarves to use them?
They need to have something for their upper body and lower body. I'm pretty sure a dress only counts as upper, but otherwise it's exactly as you would expect. I think they might need shoes as well but I'm not sure on that. Stuff like caps and gloves are not necessary but can improve their mood so it's not a waste if you have the materials to spare. Same with having multiple items on the same area, like a shirt and a vest.
@@xway2 I've read that shoes help protect their feet from injury, and therefore infection.
If you want to minmax clothing, a full set with the best coverage that you can craft yourself is dress, robe, cloak, trousers, socks, shoes, gloves, mittens, hood, and a cap. Yes, they can wear all of that at the same time.
a tutorial about paperwork, books and writting stuff could be wonderfull when you have time
This helped tremendously Blind, ty. Any chance you could do a simple dungeon tutorial?
thanks for all the tutorials, super helpful for new players
I had an excess of cotton that wasnt being used so i decided to bring it back to my fellow neighbours who were selling it. I made an abrupt decision of making the leader of the fortress be a simple miner that wasnt took well on several of character sheets. Still decided to put a full scheme on female militia and growers so the male could focus only on butchery and mining. But all went berserk. Specially went hell broke loose deep down. Good memories.
Could you make a video about traps?
And how to use them to stop an attack.
Cage traps are great because it's basically an insta-"kill", but then you have to get someone to bring a new cage before it can be used again. Weapon traps just do a bunch of damage but can keep swinging. You're going to need mechanisms (from a mechanics workshop) to construct them. How you want to use them is a bit up to you. As long as there is a path into your fortress, enemies will use that to try to get in, so you can fill it with traps. If that's the strat you want, then you want a proper normal entrance with a drawbridge that you can close (build a lever and click it to link it to the bridge). But the point is you want to keep the long winding path open. Another way is to just put a bunch of traps around your entrance. Your dwarves won't spring your traps unless they fall unconcious. Another bonus of cage traps is that if that happens you can just let them out, they won't be injured. In my experience you're not going to stop anything but the smallest attacks (snatchers, basically, or a werecreature to be fair) with just traps. You probably want a military as well.
Love these videos. Could you maybe do a tutorial on how to make archer squads? Currently having an issue in my game where my archer squad are just not picking up bolts/arrows. No idea what I am doing wrong.
The setting for brewing pigtail seeds is under Labor->Kitchen->Seeds
Great tutorial! I never did clothing industry on any of my fortresses, but now I kinda want to do it
I am not sure if I undersood correctly. In case we have those buildings and those default "automated workshops" Dwarfs will spent some time to create threads? I simple can do not care for it? Sometimes I struggle to understand what Dwarf will do based on just the name of action :(
I wanted start make cloth industry in my fort 😄 very good timing and tutorial 👍😁 im waiting for more 😁
thanks brother, very helpful
Ok, hand on heart Blind were you dwarven hammered making this video or just really tired or smoking the halfling weed? because hours of listening to your wonderfully informative voice and suddenly this little gem with slurred words and little mistakes. You are human and not some Dwarf fortress AI gone rogue. I appreciate these videos unmeasurably as it has sparked and nurtured my interest in this delightful mark of video game insanity, Dwarf Fortress can only be appreciated by gamers with the heart of a artist and the lovers of mathematics.
Exhausted. During this upload window I was streaming 10-12 hours daily and also uploading 3-5 videos daily. It's odd that one of my videos can sour your whole opinion of the game but I guess that's life.
Well, thank you. I appreciate the efforts. I was so happy to find your videos as I struggled to get into this game and a large part of it was the steep learning curve that I don't mind however your videos gave me enough information to start experimenting myself and got the dwarf bug quickly afterwards. Again thank you. @@BlindiRL
Great video, been watching all of the series and it really helped me get my first fort running properly.
Could you do a video on how to get the most out of your farm animals, or just the basics? I keep getting more and more animals from migrants, and can't find any use for them as every job I queue seems to whine about missing an ingredient. My animals just stand outside doing (I assume) nothing.
Things like:
- Do I need to manually assign animals to the pen I've created every time I get a new animal?
- How do I automate milking/shearing?
- How do I butcher animals I don't want? Can I select specific animals?
1 yes
2 no? I don't automate it anyway I run a round of jobs in the spring
3 units, /animals livestock. click the knife.
If you're missing an ingredient, do you mean a bucket or what? Because you need those for the milk.
I just wanted to ask if pigtail seeds and dimplecup spawn get made by thread making and dye making like plump helmet spawn gets made during brewing?
yes, well dimple cups use the dyer shop but yes.
@@BlindiRL thanks chief. 👍
How to prevent filling bags with seeds? They fills them even at cloth-shops and furniture stocks.
Go to the cooking menu and cook the seeds you don't want.
How can I make sure that my dwarves always have enough clothing?
After butchering some pigs I still don't have any pig tails.
What am I doing wrong?
Hey man, great videos. I really appreciate what you're putting out there. I have a question I hope you can answer. Is there a way to see if my location has metal after I've already embarked? I haven't found any and I don't know if I can see that on the map anymore.
Hmmm, thought when you Brew things you get seed back ? Sound now like the Pigtail dont do that... have to check that InGame. THX for the Video 👌
What if your trying to use wool from the alpacas you can have in game? Been trying to work with them but haven’t found any good vids about it. So far I’ve been learning from your animal husbandry video and mixing it with this video.
How do you assign clothes to dwarves?
Quick question: if I put option to automatically weave all thread on, will they take the thread from hospital chest?
very useful, thanks
Does spinning the pig tails into thread retain the seeds for re-harvesting, similar to your brewing video with the plump helmets?
Yes. The process plants job returns seeds.
I made cheese and they never ate it so it went bad and stunk up the base. I thought cheese can be aged and kept a long time, what kind of bulldog is this?
Is that a MacOS cursor? I thought the Steam version can't currently be played on Macs?
Will dwarves automatically put on new clothes from the stocks if they need it? Or do I have to give it to them...also, how would I give it to them?
They just wear new clothes when the old ones wear out automatically
@@CAMSLAYER13 Thanks
*Plant Cloth*
I have to stop playing. The crashes and the issues with trash on the floor is just killing me. I want to love the game, but it's just making it too difficult. It crashes now whenever I make archers. Will try again in a few months.
Is there a list of clothes enough for civilian wear.🤔
Please please please make a related video on what to do with all the discarded clothing. I trade (give away) as much as I can but most of it doesn't even appear on the menu to send to the trade depot. No one has a tutorial on this and no one seems to have any REAL answers.
I literally do what you do, trade/sell what I can and dump the rest in the trash.
@@BlindiRL I think I just literally figured it out. Haulers who only haul refuse. I labelled them as Trash Collectors and they are filling my Atom Smasher up very quickly now. Make the video anyway. There are a lot of us who need help with this. 😁
PLK Help - i don't uderstude, my dwarfs with crrossbows not take bolts, and not shoot ! Make guide plz!
Do they have quivers? You can make those out of leather.
@@xway2 Yes - on steam many pll have same bug.
@@Anshegar Right. I have hunters who do their thing just fine, but I haven't made a squad from them yet.
Pog
Is there any practical reason not to auto-weave?
If you don't want your dwarves running into caverns auto gather webs off might be smart. It depends on location of threads. Also if you want to dye thread before its spun into cloth. (higher value dyed coth)
@@BlindiRL gotcha, thanks. ^_^
if its set on auto weave how do you get thread into a hospital without removing Automated Weaving?
@@mohammadibrahim-fw6ui This is the main reason why you usually set auto-weave to dyed thread only, it's very hard to ensure thread makes it into the hospital unless you overproduce thread relative to cloth. In a pinch, you can slaughter a hairy animal and then spin that hair into thread, dwarves can't weave hair thread so that's guaranteed to work itself into your hospitals
@mohammad ibrahim in my experience they put a higher priority on stocking the hospital first and only weave the thread that's over the requested hospital amount.
Right about to lose another child to strange mood because i didn’t make a plant cloth industry
Do a tutorial on how to train crossbow dwarves! I dare ya! :))
plant cloth
pigtail is a plant uh ok :D, well played english
Yeah I dunno
can you do a fisihing tutorial?
Enable fishing on one dwarf. Make a fishing zone with the zone screen. And have a fishery for them to prepare the fish. If there's nothing to catch there's nothing to catch that's it.
@@BlindiRL Thanks
I love your videos! Please make one on keeping the colony happy. :)
Until then, a short answer is checking your dwarves "Needs" tab. The more of these that are met, the happier they will be.
And statues in the gathering areas, smooth the stone in bedrooms and common areas as well.
I feel this channel will grow immensely over the upcoming months. Concise and focussed tutorials, short, to the point and chock-full with info. Great stuff! Keep them coming!
Thank you for this! Could you do a video explaining how armour layers work?
Another fantastic quick tutorial. I'd love a long one too on plants. More in depth on farming and harvesting, and how to use the plants you get; brewing, cooking, weaving, pressing, etc.
I think it’s okay if you keep this in the short tutorials series if there are only a few over 15 minutes, assuming you’re not planning on making a long tutorials playlist too
Would have been nice to have explanations about quality of items; then teach on when to make new clothing. Is it when they read X or XX (bad) quality... there is also a lot of difficult management on handling tattered clothes in my opinion. Great tutorials btw, started this game and my first fortress runs smoothly with 198 dwarves and a king already!
Thanks! I was getting worried. I got about 30-40 migrants in 1 year, and several of them came to the fort w/o any clothes. I felt terrible after seeing them embarrassed as they weren't wearing clothes. I thought it was a culture thing for that particular race not to wear clothes. Thanks again for these great videos.
What Clothing do the Dwarves need the most? like say.... ive played for 5 Hours...and all my Dwarves are running around just about Naked, what would you make them?
Pants and shirts are the main ones
they love socks
Honestly, the one thing I could never ever learn in this game was plant cloth. I just had no idea what each step was or how it made sense
Choosing between making alcohol or clothes. Tough one.
hI keep these coming they are a great help, After playing for a bit my dwarfs wanted to make a farming guild or farming god temple i think it was, they voted on it and i said i would make it, But now i have forgotten what it was is there a way i can see what i have said i would do, i have a mayor and thought she may know but i cant find the info. Any help on this would be very good as i dont want to play now as time ticks on, And if i dont do this for them things might go crazy
No there isn't, kinda sol if it was for a temple. Although if you look at the available gods its probably the one with the most followers.
How do you use clothes though? What does making clothes do? Do you just sell them?
Think you have to make an separate video on how to save seads, not just the point whit plump helmets.
ahah you say farm plot and plant cloth the same way every time
Blind has been elected Mayor!
I have been playing this game years before the steam version and I now understand why my dwarves wont eat pig tails
🤣🤣🤣
NISSUUUU
how dorf pant
Plant Cloth
Your videos are pretty good. Hope you don't overwork yourself making videos covering so many topics. At least now plenty of people will be visiting your channel if they search Dwarf Fortress Blind Gameplay hehe.
Love your videos!!
Could you make one about a water wheel on a river powering e.g. a millstone??
Is there a reason beyond aesthetics for leaving space around the plot, between the plot and the wall?
Paper making /scrolls would be a good tutorial
Thanks fellow son of the mountain.
Youre an honorable ally
Man thank you so much for these quick tutorials.
Thanks for your videos :)
I like the "we already some uhhhh
..." It's like "wait. Shit. Do I not have pigtail seeds?"
Cause I've been there. "Wait.. where'd my damn seeds go?"
Seeds are kinda annoying to manage ngl
I know you are incredibly busy. But I have a request for a little tutorial, when you can get around to it. I'm having a really hard time trying to link up a lever to a bridge. If you could make a tutorial going through the steps to do so, it would be of enormous help.
So first of all you need to select which direction the bridge is going to raise. You do this when you build it. The icons aren't perfect but it's literally just the direction (north east south west) that the arrow is pointing. You also need to build a lever somewhere. You then click on the lever and select "link" or whatever it says. Basically you can either pull it or link it. You then click on the thing you want to link it to (the bridge). Your dwarves will now use two mechanics to go set this up. When that is done, you can click the lever again and tell them to pull it, and when they do that should raise the bridge.

Hi, so far you are best Tutorial maker here, can i ask you for tutorial about noble dwarfs and their jobs? Some of them need special stuff like own dining room, i provided this, but my dwarf seems to be pissed off all the time and dont want to count inventory even when i provided him with big sleep room, cabinets, fancy chest, etc. in personal data his only negative thoughts are he miss his family :/
Make sure you assign the dwarf to the zone. I made that mistake my first time. I recommend watching his VODs and try to watch closely everything that he does. After about 15 hours of playtime and consuming about 12 hours of his content, I think I finally understand how to play.
Sometimes dwarves don't do well iwith the stress of noble roles and get really depressed
thanks for answers, you guys were right! I missed Assign to specific zone option
@@wojakov Glad you figured it out. I'm having my own trouble with doctors. Right when I figured it out a troll came out of nowhere and threw my doctor into a river. Losing is fun, lol.
Why cant my Dwarfs make cloths out of Wool Cloth?
Wool requires 2 steps at the Farmers workshop. First the shear an animal job. Then the spin thread job at the Farmers workshop. That will make yarn which can be woven at the loom. Some animals have hair which can be spun into thread but not made into cloth.
Don't know if you are aware but YT has locked 1080p behind premium on this video, and the only other option is 360p now. This makes the in-game UI text unreadable for the most part.
I've been playing DF for many years so it's not a big deal for me, but someone coming in new will struggle making out any references to the UI.
Huh
