Farm Plots
Diary of Dumat Adilsezuk, Expedition Leader
12th of Slate
I'm alright. We've punched all the way through the aquifer and although the bottom floor of our fortress has water up to waist height we are making good progress.
15th of Slate
Meet the fortress's cats.
We begin excavating for farm plots.
Dwarf Fortress bug fixes continue to be high quality
Welcome to Portaldreams
Diary of Dumat Adilezuk, Expedition Leader of the Bodice of Sprays
15th of Granite
We embark.
Situated at the intersection of a desert and two rainforests, the embark site is diverse and rich in resources. Sibrek and Nomal begin digging lodgings.
20th of Granite
We have hit an aquifer.
Mining slows and Moldath and Meng chop wood to secure the walls.
28th Granite
"Surround yourself with friends you trust and you will be unstoppable."
We break through the aquifer. Fortunately, it is only 3 layers deep. Though the work itself is boring knowing I am making a new home with my friends makes it worth it. We've come far. A full-8-days trek around the Ocean of Swords from the Fortress of Brightmetals.

Notes: We now have a jeweler's workshop. And a craftsdwarf workshop. Bookkeeping is steep learning curve and the work of keeping track of everything is only going to get harder.

Whats your opinion of steam df? Seems you favor the old version more
The Steam/Itch release of Dwarf Fortress is awesome! The graphics make the game many times more accessible to new players and the user interface is more intuitive to people who are familiar with other simulation games. The main reason is that my machine doesn't run Windows so until the SDL2 comes out it's a lot more convenient for me to continue playing 47.05
There are a few other things that I prefer about the old version:
Adventure mode - allows me to explore worlds as an individual. Some people play Dwarf Fortress entirely in adventure mode.
Stairs - The way the new version handles stairs makes cavern exploration a teensy bit more dangerous. It also makes some of my more esoteric stair designs impossible. But the new version a lot easier to use.
Modding - Graphics are a double-edged sword. Yeah, it doesn't take long if your just adding in a new creature, but if you've an overhaul like the Long Night mod it's just not possible.
These are my thoughts at the moment. It SDL compatibility and adventure mode are coming in the next release so I'll probably move over after that.
