Hello everybody and welcome to 10 things that you should know before you start playing Dwarf Fortress.
2
Bit of a clickbaity title, not generally my kind of shtick, but people have been asking me to do something like this, so I figured, why not?
3
Before I even start, I do want to say that Dwarf Fortress is available for $30 or your regional equivalent or for free on Bay12 Games' website.
4
The difference between the paid version and the free version is the free version is in ASCII, whereas the paid version comes with fancy pixels to look at with your eyeballs.
5
Number one, most of the bugs have been patched.
6
Now, I don't mean literally.
7
Dwarf Fortress has plenty of bugs.
8
But when I talk about bugs, I mean the legendary ones you've probably heard.
9
Rampaging elephants, evil carp, and cat-splosions are all things that haven't been in the game in a very long time.
10
Also, bugs such as creatures getting stuck in trees don't happen as often anymore, and things wrecking your framerate at random are less likely.
11
Things can still happen, and stuff can still happen in weird ways, but a lot of these legendary bugs you've probably read about are no longer in the game, and have probably been patched out half a decade ago.
12
Number two, lock your doors.
13
If you're under attack in Dwarf Fortress, your best possible defense is simply locking the front door.
14
Once an enemy has passed through the door, they claim it as theirs, and you can no longer lock it.
15
So it's a good idea, when you start up a new fort, to simply put a door on the front door, or a trapdoor, if it's a stairs.
16
And the reason for this is, when a werecreature shows up, or an elven siege shows up, You can simply lock the door and leave the dwarves inside that are inside and the dwarves outside to suffer and they'll be fine.
17
Number three.
18
Why can't dwarves equip a pick, an axe, and hunting stuff?
19
You might notice in the work orders screen that there are three jobs, hunting, mining, and woodcutting, that can only be assigned to one dwarf at a time.
20
Why is this?
21
Well, it's simply because these three jobs require a civilian uniform.
22
A miner requires a pickaxe to fully function, to knock down blocks, and destroy walls.
23
Woodcutters require an axe to top chop down trees.
24
And hunters require a crossbow or a bow and a quiver and ammunition in order to fully complete their tasks.
25
Thus, they cannot equip more than one of these things at a time, so they require civilian uniforms and cannot be cross-jobbed.
26
Number four, eat the puppies.
27
Is your frame rate going down?
28
Do you have a lot of puppies running around?
29
It's probably because you've let them overbreed.
30
You can either geld them at a farmer's workshop, but with using the geld order and clicking the little knife next to the puppies, or just simply slaughter them.
31
Eat the puppies.
32
It'll increase your frame rate.
33
Number five, diagonal water.
34
So water, when you're trying to dig it into places to get water from place A to place B, might flow real quickly and drown your dwarves, and this is bad for your dwarves' health.
35
In fact, it stops them from breathing, which is very bad.
36
So the best thing to do is make the water go diagonally.
37
Why would you do this?
38
Well, it removes all water pressure.
39
Doesn't matter how much water is trying to spew through that hole.
40
As long as they're going through a diagonal block pattern, it's going to remove all pressure immediately.
41
Number six.
42
The next thing is seeds.
43
When seeds are cooked, it destroys the seeds.
44
When products are brewed, you keep the seeds.
45
And there's certain types of materials that you don't want cooked.
46
You can also cook the seeds separately to make even more meals if you're brewing the beverages anyway and you end up with too many seeds.
47
Keep this in mind.
48
If you want to expand further into this, jump into the kitchen menu and have a peek at what is being cooked and what isn't.
49
If it's green, it's being used.
50
If it's red, it's not.
51
So for things you don't want cooked, you might want to turn it off, especially plump helmets.
52
Those are your main source of brew, after all.
53
Dwarves do need their alcohol and can't survive without it.
54
Number seven.
55
Are you running low in food?
56
Doesn't really matter what time of year it is.
57
If you're in a biome that has stuff growing on the surface, simply jump to the surface and use the gather tool.
58
This will allow you to gather anything that is on the surface, and most of it is edible.
59
Some of it is only used for cloth, but most of it is edible.
60
So if you're running low on food stores and you're like, oh no, it's winter, we're all going to die.
61
No, you're not.
62
Just simply go up top and gather some stuff up, and your dwarves can brew half of it into alcohol, and you will survive.
63
Also note, you can generally gather stuff from the caverns as well.
64
So if you run out of plump helmets per se, you can gather from down there.
65
Number eight.
66
Rocks are good.
67
Believe it or not, they're very good.
68
The reason rocks are good is because rocks can be made into blocks.
69
Now rocks themselves cannot go into bins, but blocks can.
70
Blocks are also way lighter, and you get four blocks per boulder.
71
So sometimes I see people building their walls out of boulders and to which I shake my head.
72
Because boulders only make rough walls, which are way easier to climb.
73
Something you won't notice unless you're playing Adventure Mode.
74
But the enemies certainly do, and can absolutely climb them.
75
Number 9.
76
If you're clear-cutting trees and your fort is very close to the surface, i.e.
77
one layer underground, keep in mind that trees remove their roots.
78
And this also removes the ground tile where the tree was sitting.
79
So if you clear-cut a group of trees that are all just above the ground layer, you might be putting a bunch of holes in your ceiling and things can climb down through them.
80
Best fill those up.
81
Or build your fort deeper underground.
82
Number 10.
83
Chores.
84
So I see a lot of people yelling about their children turning into little psychopathic murderers.
85
Now, this is pretty obvious as to what's happening.
86
Children don't like being around dead things, and by default, the children's chores allow for hauling of bodies and refuse,
87
so any dead hamster or goblin or human or elf that dies in the fort will probably be hauled by your children because they're not doing anything else.
88
This also then causes them to play in the last location they completed a job in, which is why you have five dwarves in your corpse pile playing.
89
Make-believe.
90
This happens a lot, and I see a lot of people complaining about it.
91
So best to disable refuse and corpse hauling from your children if you don't want this to be a problem.
92
And then they will be much happier.
93
Also make them a bunch of toys.
94
They generally appreciate this.
95
Thank you very much for watching this video about Dwarf Fortress.
96
If you would like more Dwarf Fortress tutorials, I recommend you check out my tutorial series, my quick tutorials.
97
There is quite a few of them, 50 plus in fact, and they're all very quick, concise, and hopefully helpful and expand on a lot of these topics further.
98
Thank you very much for watching this video and I hope to see you in the next one.

この動画で話す練習をする理由は?

この動画「『ドワーフフォートレス』を始める前に知っておくべき10のこと」では、ゲームプレイを通じてさまざまな状況に対処する方法が紹介されています。視聴者は、ストラテジーゲームに必要な判断力や、問題解決能力を高めることができます。英語を学ぶ際には、実際の会話や重要な表現を聞くことが重要です。この動画を視聴しながら、英語スピーキング練習として取り入れることで、自信を持って英語でコミュニケーションを取れるようになります。特に、ゲームの状況についての話し方は、日常生活での問題解決に役立つ表現を学ぶ良い機会です。

文法と表現の文脈

この動画では、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています。

  • 過去形の使用:「最も多くのバグは修正されました」という文は、過去に起こったことを表します。これは、自分の経験を語る際に非常に有用な表現です。
  • 命令形:「ドアをロックしなさい」という表現は、実際に行動を促すために用いられます。友人にアドバイスをする際にも役立ちます。
  • 条件文:「もし攻撃を受けたら、ドアをロックするのが最善の防御です」という形は、条件付きの結果を説明する際に重要です。この構文は会話でも頻繁に使われます。

よくある発音のトラップ

この動画では、特に注意すべき発音やアクセントがいくつかあります:

  • 「fortress」:通常の日本語では「フォートレス」と表記されますが、英語では「フォートリス」と発音されるため、聞き取るのが難しい場合があります。
  • 「dwarf」:英語では「ドワーフ」と発音しますが、「ドワーフ」と同じ発音で似た単語や表現があるため、注意が必要です。
  • 「siege」:「シージ」という言葉も難しく、特にシラブルに注意しながら、正しい発音を心がけることが重要です。

この動画を活用して、英語の発音を良くするための練習をすることができ、また、shadowspeakshadow speechの技術も自然に取り入れることが可能です。英語を学ぶ過程で、これらの発音や表現に慣れることが、効果的なコミュニケーションを可能にします。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
