Welcome to the Noisebridge Dwarf Fortress Page!

Dwarf Fortress is an amazingly complex yet low-fi real-time strategy / world-building game, with dwarves! Actually, it's much more than just a game. You can create complex mechanisms that model things such as Turing complete computers and calculators for example (see more computing projects here).

This page is for those people interested in learning how to play and/or those who are already experienced who wish to share tips and what not. Feel free to make use of the discussion tab above as well.

How To

Keep playing where the last person left off!

A succession game means that people alternate and the fortress belongs to everyone until it succumbs gloriously to starvation, the goblins, or the clowns. Even in extreme circumstances, dwarf fortress always seems to yield more fun, so try to keep things going unless things become boring.

When the fortress inevitably dies, please make a new fortress in the same world. Over time a world is affected by each fortress, and it is possible to "reclaim" an abandoned fortress later; a very fun way to play.

Setup

The mac mini runs GNU/Linux Ubuntu 16.04.1.

A "Dwarf Fortress" launch icon exists on the desktop.

The dwarf fortress install is wrapped by python-lnp and available on the system path.

  • add dwarf fortress theme art to this area
  • bolt down the mac mini so that it doesn't walk off
  • add dwarf therapist and dfhack to lnp
  • add links to simon swerwer soundcloud albums on the desktop
