AzyWng Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Dwarf Fortress. It has several similarities to Space Station 13, which is why I put it up here. Extreme customization (In the sense that you can reconfigure the furniture and the walls of a building any way you want if you have the resources) Extreme violence Extreme learning curve (I guess? Learning to roleplay can be difficult, it's tough trying to find a balance between doing objectives and powergaming, and I still don't understand anything to do with genetics, plant genetics, or viruses. At all.) Extreme fun I've currently got a freshly made fort, I've just dug in, and I plan to take and post screenshots of my fort as it progresses. A few things that I'll try to do differently than other forts: I'm going to name the dwarves themselves after people on this forum (Neca will be someone like Expedition Leader) EDIT: If I run out of names, I'm going to start giving dwarves character names (Sergey will be someone like the militia commander or a military dwarf) EDIT: I will now start mixing character names in with forum account names. I'll put at least one set of doors for each hallway and turn, in combination with wall grates in place of windows. This is an attempt to imitate the airlocks and doors that are present in Paradise. I'll change the job titles to be more fitting for SS13. Military will have security titles followed by weapon used (Axedwarf -> Security Officer (Axe), for example,), Medical dwarves will have medical titles, etc. Edited September 24, 2015 by Guest Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5489-dwarf-fortress/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeletedUser Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Dwarf Fortress.It has several similarities to Space Station 13 Similarities...? Man, SS13 is like a DF game where the dorfs are player-controled, and the main player went AFK, leaving the dorfs to do whatever. Also get ☼Masterwork DF☼ for extra !!*FUN*!!

Rumiluntti Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Dorf fort is a game where you can play god with minions so retarded they sometimes drown in a puddle after trying to wrestle a rat. I love it, I have dorf fort running on the background more then I dare to admit. Lazy newb pack is also great if you don't like to punish yourself with the shitty design of the game itself. Gold spike studded elf leather thogs are the mainstay equipment for my wrestler squads.

Mrs Dobbins Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 DF. My god, DF is the the best way of spending a long train journey or a long wait. It actually runs on my netbook so I can just chill and manage my fort when I have some spare time and I'm away from my main machine.

Taedra Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I've played it a few times, last time I played it my dwarves decided that biting the giant spider was a better strategy than using their pickaxes... rip dwarf miners. I'm still a huge noob at DF but it's one of the more enjoyable city managing games Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5489-dwarf-fortress/#findComment-40485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeletedUser Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 last time I played it my dwarves decided that biting the giant spider was a better strategy than using their pickaxes... rip dwarf miners. You'd be surprised... if one of them bit its head it would cut through the chittin, tearing the muscle bruisning the fat and tearing the brain, instakilling it. Also you can kick a giant eldritch horror in the ass so hard that it's head explodes. It actually runs on my netbook How many times did your processor catch on fire?

Rumiluntti Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I played adventure a few times when it got the big patch. I haven't played it after this incident, I just don't it has lot to offerfor me anymore. -Be dorf, kill animals for sustenance. -Your best skill is biting stuff, because why not. -Bite boars to death, oneshot everytime. -Your inventory is full of shit you can't eat. Time to go sell it. -Mr. Generic merchant is willing to trade, cool. I should speak to his daugher first so I can learn more about this shithole town. -Fuck up. -Fuck up hard. -Dorf bites the merchant's daugher in the nose so hard that her brains fly everywhere. -Merchant starts crying and screaming. -Lick tears from merchant's face. Fucking dorfs. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/5489-dwarf-fortress/#findComment-40510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Dobbins Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 How many times did your processor catch on fire? Its great. When I'm on an underheated train or wherever, DF instantly converts my processor into a space heater, meaning that I'm nice and toasty warm.
