Basic Clothing with Automation - Dwarf Fortress Tips

hey there I'm further reading today we're going to talk about how to set up a simple clothing industry to start you need plants in terms of which plant you should do our wall breeds are a good option and they'll go on most biomes typically you can find them along any body of water such as a stream a brook or a pond I'm going mine in a 5x2 field but a 4x2 field is probably ideal note that I can do this on the ground because I have a roof over it if you want to learn more about that trick uh check out my farming video next you're going to need a farmer's workshop and then you want to set up a work order to process plants for this simple one I would recommend reducing it to seven plants then having a trigger when you have seven plants to process this process is going to give you tread and seeds so your farmer can go and plant the seeds back and the tray can go to your loom to get turned in the cloth before you set up the loom I would recommend going down down here to your labor menu then going up here the standing orders and turn off automatic weaving this is because tread is something that can be needed by strange mood so it's good to keep some behind now we're going to add an order to weave some threads and let's do seven and I'll do it if the amount of unused will say is at least nine so this will be some thread left over and that way we'll have something left for our strange mood dwarves and also something for the hospital as well if they need it so the next step is to queue up your orders for clothes I recommend doing this from a Claudius sharper directly in fact let's go ahead and give this to somebody um let's say Olin you are now my close person currently a novice oh I'm not really the fashion person but you're going to be leveling pretty fast making all these clothes then we go go to work orders I'm Gonna Make the following items gloves hoods wolves shirts shoes socks trousers this will give your dwarves basically an entire outfit now we actually got set up all of these orders so for all of them we're going to do make one at a time like so then we are going to go here to add some automation we're going to say when the unused plant clot is greater than I'm going to do greater than two and the reason I do this is similar to the thread situation our clots might be needed for one of your dwarves in a strange mood so that way it is good to make sure we have a little bit left over also we are going to make a trigger when the one previous finishes so in this case for the gloves the previous one is gonna be the weaving of the Treads so it's going to finish when the weaving is done then we're gonna do the same thing for everyone else if you follow this password exactly it is easy to figure out which one is the previous one because everything that you've set up already is going to have these three Arrow dots as a symbol well if there's not been sub yet it's going to have these green boxes instead and there you go with that it should have a fully automated clothing industry which is going to give you one set of clothes every Harvest as you go bigger you can mess on with these orders maybe once you get access to the caverns you might add in you might start adding silk to the equation if you have a nice big pack of sheep or alpaca or some other cheerable animal maybe you'll go for yard instead but this is just a very simple way to get your initial cloth clothing going I hope you found this guide useful and if so please like And subscribe if you want watch more guys like this you can check out my twitch stream while I stream four days a week or you can watch any videos on screen right now
