I'm sure I'll get used to it, and if it plays as well on the Deck as it does on a regular PC (which would be impossible with tradition DF, which I can't even play without a numpad at this point), then it'll pretty neat. ![]() I'm also struggling with unlearning the shortcuts I know and love - the game feels so much slower with the removal of keyboard-only gameplay. Obviously nothing will ever come close to replacing the DFWiki, but anyone thinking the tutorial will set prepare them for the long game will encounter much Fun. Maybe the help guides fill in the gaps, but there's no explanation of how to "prepare carefully", how to manage dwarf labours, how to check your stockpiles, how the health/military systems work, how to raise, butcher and process animals and use their by-products, how and why to avoid carp*, how to create and manage burrows, the importance of booze, etc. I'm playing the tutorial for shits and giggles and while I know it's really dumbed down for newbies, it seems a little too dumbed down. dwarffortress - editing the files under /opt/dwarffortress/data. If you installed Dwarf Fortress on Arch Linux using pacman, then running dwarffortress will dump the configuration files you should edit into your home directory under. I got gifted a copy by an ex-coworker who knows how much I love Dwarf Fortress. In most cases, the configuration files for Dwarf Fortress are in the data/init folder of the directory you installed it to. Even if you only play on one device, it's always good to have that backup there.īoth Steam Deck and Desktop Linux were tested with Proton 7.0-4. There's no Cloud Save support yet though, which for a game as big as this feels like a huge oversight. Seems like you might get pretty good battery life out of it on Steam Deck too. The short guided tutorial is certainly a nice touch. ![]() To be honest with you, like a lot of people I was never able to get into it originally, it was a bit too retro for my tastes but this new more modern version definitely seems like something I can get into. I have no doubt it won't be long before someone makes a good one. It doesn't have controller support though, so on Steam Deck you'll need to mess about with Steam Input for a while to set it up how you want. The good news is that even though it doesn't have Native Linux support yet, it does work on Linux desktop and Steam Deck with Proton. Dwarf Fortress has now finally arrived on Steam, with all the shiny new bits including the new graphical tiles and audio included in Early Access. The default tileset is curses640x300.png which translates to an 8x12 tileset so if you can find one that's listed as either 640x300 or 8x12 you're golden, but sadly square ones won't render properly.
