Oh and this is important: on my computer, resolution changes don't seem to take place unless I restart my game. You can artificially zoom by lowering your resolution but the further you go the more the ui breaks. You can't zoom currently which makes small tilesets a little bit uncomfortable. So from my limited testing and research, you need to mess with your resolution a lot to get the ui to work(the scaling and other ui options never seemed to help anything, I did try them), and it seems like the bigger the tileset dimensions, the bigger monitor you need (?)-or at least smaller tilesets are more likely to not break the UI. The tile size is the exact same for those two options on my screen (9x9 1200x800 & 18x18 max res). I can make the tiles bigger either by using Taffer 18x18 and cranking the resolution all the way up or by lowering my resolution in-game to 1200x800 and using the 9x9, but the UI is cut off in some places if I do anything besides 9x9 with normal resolution (but the tiles are a little too small and you can't zoom). It took a lot of tweaking, and it's mostly just square vanilla ascii. I got Taffer 9x9 to work on a 2560x1664 13.6 inch display.

Not to mention the cleaner tileset & UI is much needed.Want to start playing? Read this sidebar! With it coming to steam, I can see myself playing it far more often now, as long as the workshop includes all those said programs. I personally don't play much of DF because it's a hassle having to update not just the game but any programs that are necessary to play it, such as dwarf therapist etc. So steam does not really fill any gap that would be missing.Īutomatic updating is NOT a good thing, because DF saves are often incompatible between versions. There are good graphics, good sounds and good mods easily available already. The steam version is just a cleaner spruced up version with shiny graphics/ui and all the nice features that steam can offer like automatic updates and integrated modding.

Unsure how utilities such as dwarf therapist will be handled. The steam version will have an optional ascii mode and full steam workshop support, so modders can have a go at this version too. I would hesitate to call it a tileset as from what i read this version has new infrastructure that supports a much wider and cleaner version of graphic assets, as opposed to a strict amount of 'tiles' (i could be wrong here, but it sounded like this was the case). I would consider the steam version of the game to be well packaged and 'cleaner' version, with band new graphics and sfx. The circumstances which contributed to the decision are unfortunate, and i wish then only the best in their health and their success on steam.
