I’m eager to start a new fortress anyway. I assume there’s no way to use the save file from this tutorial with the current version?

Well, now might be a good time to try the current version! A lot has changed, but if you know the basics of this version and can find the wiki you should be ok.

My save file just got corrupted and I get a runtime error everytime I try to load it. Apparently the way to stop this is to modify init.txt and turn off the “Compress saves” option. However, this option isn’t actually in the init.txt of the version used by this tutorial, it’s only in the more recent version. Is there a way to modify it anyway? Or do I gotta start all over from the beginning using the more recent version?

I just dumped it at the beginning and then never saw it again unless I undumped it.
Still thanks for the post.

When you build your first furniture pile it gets moved there. … unless you created your own world and didn’t bring one?

An anvil is something smiths use to hammer out metal. Say, a person who made horse shoes back before we used cars to get us from place to place. The Smith would get a piece of metal really hot (by heating it in a forge (big fire), until it glowed orange, place it on the anvil, then bang it with a hammer to shape it into a horse shoe.

Now I feel old lol ;)

You usually have to bring one with you when you start a fort unless you engage in cunning play.
