How to Join a Fort| Adventure Mode (Quick Tutorials)

[barrybeer]

Retiring/unretiring fortresses is scary. My fort i built ontop of a volcano had a shrine and barracks built above the magma and it never leaked onto it, I then retired the fort and made an adventurer. After returning to the fort as an adventurer- i find the volcano has erupted and roasted half the citizens alive, and theres no way i can enter lool. Had to leave it to ruin

If you want just simply non-dwarves for fortress its safer to spawn them with DFHack, as this way they will have sexual preferences and therefore children. And retire/unretire can be buggy.

Adventurer mode is however better if you want adventurers with lore context (artifacts, histories etc) or early fun (by them being

I really want to retire and unretire my forts more often, but there are two main bugs that make me hesitant:
1) The status of your fortress changes to "capital" for some reason, so you will never become a barony, dutchy, etc, or recieve larger trading caravans.
2) Spoils brought by my adventurers -- scrolls in particular -- are often completely ignored by my dwarves. Some of them work fine, but others they refuse to interact with aside from dumping (and possibly melting)

Just beware of those potential issues if you plan on jumping back and forth between modes!
My suggested hotfixes are to wait until you are at least a barony to retire your fortress, and to have your adventurer put any spoils on pedestals before you retire them.

Are they already citizens or long term visitors? I remember having to wait for them to petition to be citizens before.

Do that few times to artificially create a second race for your civilisation that will then overtake it
(Idk if that would work)

I think I mentioned this in your community post, but is there a way to renewable gain food? With butchering and trading not implemented yet, I can’t figure out how to have an adventurer long term. On a similar note, is a medical system implemented yet, or do you just have to ignore wounds and let them heal on their own?
Thanks for these tutorials, you are a life saver, and make amazing videos!

Fking love where this is going. Can't wait to fully customize my adventurers.

So if you have a fortress with a lot of spare adamantine gear floating around, you could let your adventuring party join the fortress, put them into a Squad with a fully adamantine uniform, and retire the fortress again to go back to the party?

Or can your adventurers just waltz in and take whatever they please? I don't recall seeing any ownership / theft mechanics.

Is it intended that the adventurerers can't join the forts militia or become nobles?

[ResplendentTrash]

I got them to join the fort but they can't join squads??

[uaputte]

What hapend whit the fort when play advature a longer time, do it evolve or put in paus? Or if you play whit another fort?

[keetongu]

It'll sound cringe but i'd LOVE an adventure mode skill tier list. I know it reinforces the meta, but it would be super helpful to new players.

[Domanoc]

Very nice one. I will try this with my next fort

[bondrjr]

Thanks Blind. Appreciate the Tutorials!

[TheFatPunisher]

This is wonderful. Just needs butchering and quest logs.
it only took 1 day for them to fix the crash that I was getting the most.

[Faehen]

My fort for some reason sunk itself into ground after some years passed for no reason. Now every time I try to unretire it the game just crashes.

[jamesrichardson]

Sorry but did anyone notice how the reclaimed fortress became the "capital"? is this a feature or a bug? Its happening to my fort too now, and I lost my images of my local government and I cant send gifts to my original dwarven traders

[Parborway]

Is it possible for your adventurer to start a family after you retire them?

[JeffAndres]

Hello, what the little blue dot at the bottom right of the character means when it appears sometimes. we can see this dot at 5.13 min. Thanks

Blind I have a question, I have an adventure necromancer but I can't reanimate corpses why is that? (New adventure mode)
