In this tutorial we’ll set up some more living space for our dwarves as

|
|||
* How to get some basic resource production and gathering going.
|
||||
|
||||
One thing we haven’t covered is saving your game! Perhaps an
|
||||
oversight?! Simply hit “escape” and then select “Save Game”. But don’t
|
||||
do it now! “Save Game” assumes you want to exit and it will take you
|
||||
back to the main menu. Don’t, for the love of [insert deity here]
|
||||
choose “Abandon the Fortress”, it kills it!
|
||||
oversight?! Simply hit :kbd:`Esc` and then select :guilabel:`Save Game`.
|
||||
But don’t do it now! :guilabel:`Save Game` assumes you want to exit
|
||||
and it will take you back to the main menu. Whatever you do, **don't**
|
||||
choose :guilabel:`Abandon the Fortress` - that ends the game!
|
||||
|
||||
One thing I should note about saves is that, for me, it never, ever
|
||||
seems to put the save in any logically named folder. When you come back
|
||||
to DF and hit “Continue Game” choosing the last save in the list won’t
|
||||
necessarily result in your most recent game starting. Instead, you may
|
||||
have to look in your DF \data\save folder and see which folder has the
|
||||
most recently modified files. Then you might, as I do, rename the older
|
||||
folders.
|
||||
I should note that saves can get confusing - if you start to play with
|
||||
a seasonal autsave, then save that, the names get longer and don't
|
||||
always sort in a useful way. When you come back
|
||||
to DF and hit :guilabel:`Continue Game`” choosing the last save in the list
|
||||
won’t necessarily result in your most recent game starting. Instead, you may
|
||||
have to look in your ``<DF>/data/save/`` folder and see which folder has the
|
||||
most recently modified files. Then you might rename or delete the older folders.
|
||||
|
||||
Worse, if you chose the wrong save you can’t seem to easily exit DF.
|
||||
You can save, and then exit, or hit “Abandon the Fortress” from the
|
||||
menu. Clearly neither are ideal so I usually use task manager to kill
|
||||
dwarfort.exe.
|
||||
|
||||
I know, it’s really bloody annoying and I don’t know how to fix the
|
||||
save issue. Man up and deal with it!
|
||||
If you choose the wrong save, there are two options: you can save as
|
||||
usual and return to the main menu, or force-close DF with the DFHack
|
||||
command ``die``. Enter it in the ingame console (:kbd:`Ctrl`-:kbd:`P`),
|
||||
but be careful - this will quit without saving or checking again!
|
||||
|
||||
Good luck! And lets continue…

Making our Hole our Home
