Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorials

Viewer Discretion Is Advised.

Be prepared for swearing.



While being a great effort they are missing out on quite a few important details you might want to read up on here in the wiki instead:

  • Whats that red line next to goblins?
  • Why do I want certain stone layers (like sedimentary flux)?
  • I want steel? Do I need flux for steel production?
  • Whats the point of choosing one home civilization over another?
  • Why do I want turtles instead of perch and why is it important not to cook them?
  • What's the rope used for? And why might I pick thread instead?
  • What are skills versus labor? Why not max them out? (seriously!)
  • Why do I not need a proficient Woodcutter?
  • Why should I give one dwarf novice skill in appraiser and judge of intent?
  • Why is the digging pattern in 'Tutorial part 04' a bad idea? (Well, you can tell that from watching - don't have circular setups or pathing in general that gives your dwarves 2 identical paths to choose from)
