EXTRATERRESTRIAL
Dwarf	Доступ: N/A Дополнительный доступ: N/A Сложность: Hard Глава: Ancient ones Обязанности: Build a fort, barter and trade with miners. Get tired of trading and ethnically cleanse lavaland. Руководства: This is sort of the guide Цитата: "comical dwarf-related reference here"

You are a dwarf. Millenia ago your species suffered a great cataclysm that most likely turned this damned planet to what it is now. You have sealed yourself in this sarcophagus in hopes of surviving the collapse. Oh... you are alive. Well let's get to digging.

Basically you try to expand your influence on lavaland. If miners are dickheads , kill em. If lifebringers reject your supremacy , kill em. If golems steal your god given ores , you guessed it - kill em.

Quick start guide

Alright so you decided to spawn in as a dwarf. Well the journey isn't going to be the easiest but it will certainly be engaging.

First of all turn on the damn lamps, you cannot build anything in the darkness! For all you know you could be surrounded by felinids, and we don't want that do we?

Your first anvil

In the ruin (there are 2 version of the ruin, the one that spawns in by default is the bigger one) there should be some gold , silver , titanium and wood ores/planks. Pile them up and smelt whatever you need. Your goal is to reach 10 sheets of silver as quick as possible. Humans can come any second and we don't know if they are willing to trade or fight. Grab a pickaxe , an orebox and go to mining! As soon as you get enough silver ore smelt it into silver sheets and create a dwarven press in the workshop. Fill the non-silver ore into the sarcophagus. Now your goal is to get 10 sheets of silver ,gold and titanium. If the sarcophagus is recharged then maybe a new dwarf will come and help you. Once you get these sheets put them in the dwarven press and make some alloy. With 10 sheets of dwarven alloy you can make an anvil!

Tip : If you aren't trying to grief your empire don't make tools and armors out of uranium, it produces a metric ton of rads and kills everyone near you in a couple minutes.

Alcohol and you

Remember you are not immune to hunger! There is a plot of land and some seeds nearby. You need those! REMEMBER TO MAKE ALCOHOL if you mix rocknut alcohol with cavewheat alcohol it creates manliest dorf, more powerful version of manly dorf. Both of these drinks heal you, though the manliest dorf heals you a lot more.

Meeting other species

Your primary role on lavaland is to expand, expand aggresively. Your secondary job is to trade and barter to get wealth. The way you approach humans truly depends on the situation at hand. If the current dwarven empire wants to be peaceful then trade, if you want to go on a full on ethnic cleansing then go for it. REMEMBER YOU ARE ALL ANTAGS, you are just bound by some rules and that's it.

Brokering

If you have spawned first, then you might see a small book called Brokering 101: Dwarven guide. If you read it you learn to speak ALL languages. You are a broker now, a technical ruler of the colony since you are the only one capable of talking to other races! This book should be reserved for people that know what they are doing since you cannot make another one of these books

Quality

If you've been crafting in the anvil for a while you might have noticed the weird and new prefixes to most crafted items, such as Shoddy or Normal. These tell you how good the item is. The more you make these items the more you will develop your operating skill. If you reach the maximum operating skill then there is a small chance you might craft an Artifact a very powerful item with unholy qualities.

Dwarven Equipment

Structures

These are your primary structures, the main way of aquiring new equipment.

Item	Description	Required Materials
Ancient sarcophagus	The main way of aquiring new dwarves. If you fill it with ore it will recharge. Once it has reached 100% it can birth a new dwarf.	Uncraftable
Forge	Where all raw ores are smelted into their respective sheets. It has a chance to fail smelting and destroy some ore, the chance is based on your operating skill.	10 sheets of iron
Workshop	The most essential of dwarven structures. Allowes you to build new Forges, Anvils , Workshops and Presses. It will grant you a "Dwarven print" to create the structure simply click with the print on adjacent turf. To activate put in your desired materials and hit it with a mallet.	10 planks of wood
Blood Infuser	Allows you to summon runes. To recharge you need to give it limbs of your fallen foes.	Uncraftable
Anvil	Allows you to craft powerful weapons and armors. To activate put in your desired materials and hit it with a mallet	10 sheets of dwarven alloy

Weapons and armor

Main equipment, really useful.

Item	Description	Amount of materials
Warhammer	Two-handed weapon of the dwarves, really poweful. When crafted well it may even break doors.	10 sheets of any material
Waraxe	Single handed weapon of the dwarves, if you choose so it can be thrown but it doesn't make a big difference.	5 sheets of any material
Javelin	Thrown weapon of the dwarves, has a high embed chance as well as a chance to deal pain. Basically a craftable shuriken that deals a lot of damage.	2.5 sheets of any material
Platemail	Toughest dwarven armor out there. Has a high bomb resistance making it harder for gibtonite and miners to kill you. Slows you down.	10 sheets of any material
Chainmail	Just like its heavier brother, it has a high bomb resist. Unlike him chainmail doesn't slow you down.	5 sheets of any material
Helmet	A classic horned helmet of the dwarves. Wearing it is a net benefit to you. Additionally you look cooler in it.	2.5 sheets of any material

Runes

Secondary equipment, very situational

Item	Description
Air rune	Teleportation! Well kind of. This rune may help you or screw you over depending on the situation. You can use it on yourself OR anyone near you. It teleports them to a random nearby location which may as well be lava... so be careful with it.
Blitz rune	Blitz rune! a very good defensive rune! Use it and it will instantly create a 3x1 wizard like forcewall.
Earth rune	Repulse spell in a pocket! Click on it then on an adjacent turf and it will send anything on that turf flying from you. Very useful!

Misc items

Tools mostly.

Item	Description
Structure print	Allows you to create new structures! You have to create one in workshop first of course. To use it simply click on an adjacent turf and wait a little bit.
Upgrade kit	Allows you to add quality to any item that doesn't posses any!
Mallet	Most basic dwarven tool
