Hey there!

As the title might suggest I have recently started a playlist on Youtube of Dwarf Fortress, it is more of a recent project but it'll be great to get some criticism from the forum themselves to see where I have gone wrong or right.

I am not new to Dwarf Fortress, but I am defiantly no expert. Below is the link to the two episode playlist, I upload videos every Wednesday and Sunday so it is possible for there to be another Dwarf Fortress any time soon.

Thanks again for your time!

I'll check it out. Is it version 34.11? I'd love to see your attempts at a minecart system.

[MrMatchow]

Indeed it is, but I have a feeling Minecarts are quite the while away for me! I have heard of the damage it can do... and frankly it scares me.

[Wellincolin]

Not that quite. I don't know your progress but I believe you'll have to try them soon enough. It is a good content for a playthrough, as well.

I've put up Episode 3 today and I was wondering if I could get some help.

There is the link to the video, but if you haven't watched it two of my fishing dwarfs end up dieing horrificly... Only problem is that I don't know how they died any Dwarf Fortress expert if you could help me find out the cause!

I'll just like to avoid future deaths, that'll cause my series to end after four episodes. Thanks again!

Waterfall most likely killed your Dwarf - and injured/killed your Stray Cat.

To prevent further deaths, you might be in for some difficulty. Waterfalls are horrifying killers of Dwarves and Domesticated animals, ripping them to shreds in their horrifying torrents.

However, some ideas -

Traffic Designations and make tiles around Waterfall Restricted.
Build a Bridge across the river a little bit south of the Waterfall.
Creation of Fishing/Water Source zones and ordering your Dwarves to only use those zones.

Good luck and have fun.

Minecarts are FUN! I use them to run over children and other non-essentials in my fort. But otherwise they can help with long distance hauling and can be run through bridges.
