Alexim: Thanks again to all for the suggestions, I have also read the guide of muttly13 but I still have some doubts:
1) How I can build the "advanced" walls? I mean the one thin that I can see in some screenshots of the game.
2) I have the farm but I have no idea on how to capture the animals, my dwarfs kill them everytime.
3) How in the hell I can turn the direction of objects? Doors and turrets for example.
4) I have more than 20 hours in the game and I'm still at the first level, it's normal?
5) I have nearly consumed all the metal in the world, there is something I can do to find more?
Thanks!
1 - If i am understanding correctly, you mean things like Ice walls, wood, etc? Those need to be crafted first and then placed like other objects.
2 - You must first craft and place a trap. A sheep or bird will cross over it and spring the trap. You then have the option of "catch" if you have a 5 fence farm ready. Once you have them captured, If you right click them you have the option of "cut" for sheep (and sheep clones). Birds require no interaction, they will simply drop feathers and eggs.
3 - For place-able items, if you select the item from your bar as though you are going to place it, clicking on an existing item will flip its direction. For example, place a door. Wait until its placed, then select the door from your bar again and place it over the existing one. It will flop direction. Turrets will do so automatically as needed.
4 - Depends on what you mean. If you mean Dwarf level, as in you have but 1 dwarf, thats horrendous. but I imagine you mean you are still on the forest world, thats fine. You can stay as long as you like, you just need to find the five portal guardians and their scrolls. Just keep digging and you will come across them if you havent. As a level set, i think the first time I played I was on the forest world for 30 hours. Today my best time has been about 14 hours. You can race to the end of course and get much better if thats your thing.
5 - Barring some kind of crazy bug, there is plenty of metal on each world to pretty much do what you want. Conceivably there isnt enough mythril to deck everyone out, but it shouldnt matter. One thing to note, you can scrap old items in the craft screen. Simply drag the item out of your inventory onto the little "craft" box and it will shift colors to show you that you are "scraping" and you will get back many of the base materials. For example, scraping your stone axes will result in a stone and a log (usually) and so forth. You can do this to most items, the only ones you cannot are the ones that are created in stacks, wall tiles for example.
Oh, and one other thing that you havent asked about but made my life easier as I learned... Feel free to spend your money. There is no "super happy fun" item at the end you need to save for. Personally i buy books as I need them and a couple dragon eggs as I am too lazy to harvest them. they have also added a few cool mana based items that are worth saving for if you burn your mana quick or dont like to build multiple stock piles. The game is still perfectly playable without purchasing anything, just makes your life easier in spots.
