The Dwarf Fortress Wiki

Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki! This is a collection of user-submitted guides, information and advice for the Roguelike game "Dwarf Fortress". Dwarf Fortress is a Mac and Windows game (though it can be played on other systems using Wine), developed by Bay 12 Games featuring two modes of play, a distinct, randomly-generated world (complete with terrain, wildlife and legends), gruesome combat mechanics and vicious schools of carp.



(Compared to real-world years) Dwarven years are shorter.
— Sowelu
Very fitting to dwarves, I must add.
— Sean Mirrsen
Generally, the large monsters should be able to do larger things. Just squishing entire bodies, or even groups of dwarves all at once. Squish. — Toady One
The latest version is v50.14, released on September 25, 2024.
