Simple Fortress is just a slightly tweaked world generator and embark that allows your dwarves to carry far more supplies initially.

Also the starting abilities of your dwarves have been selected to some useful professions.

This is designed to give you plenty of time (A couple years) to learn the ropes and how to handle your fortress without the initial pressures that are usually placed on a fortress.

With food and drink taken care of, with simple weapons and armors already supplied, and with plenty of raw materials you can take your time and learn how the intricate industries of dwarf fortress interact.

Just download and unzip into your dwarf fortress directory.   

Then Generate a new world using "Simple Fortress" World preset.  (It increases the embark points and also makes the world a bit less extreme)

Then When you play choose "Simple fortress" As the embark profile and you will have a large amount of goods per-selected that should make your initial years far less hectic.

Tweaked embark skills slightly.

Added some more of the newer industries requisite animals
Added hematite back in since it is likely it will be available at embark
switched from limestone to Marble as the flux as it seems to be available far more often.
Tweaked down temperature a bit more.

Tested the .31.21 update and it appears to be decently working with it.

It increases the embark points

No kidding.

Looks good for testing purposes, will try it with .19. Have you thought about putting a link in your sig so that non-modders will see it?

Actually I have not, but that is a good point, the people most likely who will be having problems learning the ropes and the like would not come here first.

Hrm... I must ponder this as I also rarely post out of this forum and most would not see my sig.

My suggestion is that you at least make a simple post into the questions forum (with nice easy explanations) in order to try to bring this to beginner's attention. With luck enough people will start to use it that it should float to the top of the forum for a while and become a little bit popular.

That is a good idea. I shall do that.

So how did you increase embark points that are available?

[Nistenf]

You can set it as a parameter in advanced world generation

I changed the world generation parameters.

Which is also the reason you have to generate a new world.

Will it work with 0.31.25?

Yes

I'd love to try it out but I'm getting a 502 bad gateway error.
I think that means the download server is down. Guess I'll wait!

DFFD is back up, creating a new world now...
Works well on the current version. Great job!
