Tools like Dwarf Therapist might give the impression that labor assignments actually matter a lot in the game, but really workers are really productive and a full-grown fortress of 200 dwarves can be easily run by under 10 workers. That was a whole new system to learn and I just lacked the motivation so stopped and never went back. I think the last time I tried I then got a monster invading and I hadn't figured out military yet.
So I never got to that point where I felt like I had a good grasp of my colony as a coherent unit and could then engage in flights of fancy. Was it an issue of not having room to stockpile food? Or was the dwarf who could make food doing something else (possibly because he was the only person who could do that or he just happened to be the one who'd picked up the pick for some reason)? Likewise, i found the process of feeding the dwarves hard to manage largely because I couldn't easily figure out if there was any food, whether that was because no one was making any or that it was simply all getting eaten. But the whole process of making egg-laying boxes or nests or whatever was tedious and then you had to lock the door to stop the dwarves coming in and taking the eggs. Like I'd have chickens (or were they ducks? I forget) and I was attempting to breed them. Or why they weren't doing the things I was asking them to do.Ī lot of the things seemed way too roundabout to me too. Even with all these tools it quickly descended into me not having any idea who was doing what or why. Here's where I struggled: I still wouldn't have the hang of managing the dwarves I had and then a new crop would come along.
I too installed and used Dwarf Therapist. A few years ago i tried to get into this.
