All differences between DWARF Fortress Classic and Dwarf Fortress Steam

As the creator of Tarn Adams explained, with the release of Dwarf Fortress in Steam and ITCH.IO there are now two versions of the game. The classical version is Dwarf Fortress, which we have known for many years, and Premium is a version in Steam and ITCH.IO. But what are the differences between these versions?

Differences between Dwarf Fortress Classic and Dwarf Fortress Premium

The first thing you notice between Premium and Classic is the price. Dwarf Fortress in Steam and Itch.io has its own price. In addition, there is a huge graphic update, justifying costs, with a completely new user interface and engine. But in addition to the obvious graphic update, there are several changes in Dwarf Fortress in Steam and ITCH.IO that you should definitely know about: Almost all the hot keys in the game were changed, and some were deleted. Hot keys in the workshops seem to have disappeared. You will have to re-learn all combinations of hot keys if you are an experienced player.

• A completely new soundtrack with dozens of new tracks, which still retains the feeling of original guitar riffs that pursued your old games and preservations.
• The game is deleted in the game, an annoying skill, which meant that you needed for the dwarf to place all the materials at the construction site for some buildings. It mainly affected things such as stoves and bridges.
• Burial works differently. You can’t just lie from random coffins, and they need to be designated as a tomb using a zone menu.
• Repeated sheathing of a dug area will no longer leave an ugly spot of naked stone, which means that you can calmly correct these small errors when digging!
• Pause for notifications, for the most part, left. They still remain for large events, such as mega-star and the vile forces of darkness.
• The rooms and zones were mainly united. It makes great sense.
• The steps merged. There is no more upstairs, below and up and down the stairs.
• Mason was replaced by Stone cutting.

• The work is carried out by default, you need to create new details of the work to change it on certain dwarves performing it. This is not such a big problem for such things as mining or low-skilled work, but as you develop your fortress, you will want to hire specially qualified workers to do work.
