      My fortresses are still early stage, I have not yet managed to progress far enough to learn what all the clown references are about. I keep getting stuck on building the perfect fortress. I’m hoping that learning to use dfhack properly will speed up the early game progress.

        Despite playing since 2008, I’ve only accessed the hidden fun stuff once, and mostly because I set out to do it. I too tend to keep creating new forts over and over to try to get things perfect. Then I save, and when I come back I never remember what I was doing, so I just start over again. :) Doing that for all these years, my early game is down to a science now (in terms of setting up manager, work orders, quantum stockpiles, etc. The only thing that really changes from play to play is how I design the fortress. Surprisingly still not tired of doing it after all these years.

          Mine are always immaculately neat and grid like, I want to do my next one in a more higgledy piggedly organic way, following ore seams and making use of whatever shape that makes. But first I want to reach the hidden fun stuff.
