v0.31 Talk:Design strategies

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Maybe just have a selection of tips for this page, instead of detailed strategies, as the individual features of each map now renders a long-term design strategy ( that isn't modular, at the least ) useless.

A couple've tips could be: Don't plan too far ahead, design modularly if you want it to look nice, scout out map features before digging too far in etc etc. --Pathos 15:25, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Don't try to build big rooms. Most likely, there will be a metal ore vein in there that ruins everything.

Or accept the fact that ore veins will run through your rooms - its not like there's a shortage of ore anymore. --Squirrelloid 16:26, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I second Squirrelloid's opinion. Might as well dig through it, smooth&engrave it and enjoy the fact that your room is more valuable and probably, in "real" life has some pretty kick-ass looking veins in it.--Alkyon 18:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
