Dwarf Fortress is one of the most complex colony simulators that’s ever been created, with each new game taking place in a fantastical and rich world of lore. However, to experience that world, players will need to master the basics of survival first. Part of this is learning how to deal with the different pests that will show up around your fortress.
The flies in Dwarf Fortress can be mildly annoying and wear on your Dwarves over time, so it’s best to keep them out of your home. Here’s all the information you need to know about how to get rid of flies in Dwarf Fortress.
How to get rid of flies in Dwarf Fortress
Unfortunately, there is no one way to get rid of flies outside of keeping them from infecting your fortress in the first place. Flies will infect your fortress if your food isn’t stored in the right places, so it’s wise to make sure that you have a supply of empty barrels that can keep up with the food you’re producing, otherwise, it will get stored without one. Having food stored in barrels also makes it easier to sell.
Cats can normally kill vermin, but flies are likely too small to be caught by felines. If your Dwarves are around the flies for too long, they have a chance to be affected negatively b two different thoughts that can drive down their mood. On the other hand, some Dwarves in the minority enjoy being surrounded by flies, but overall it will drain your citizens over time.
The flies are above-ground vermin that swarm near pools of water as well as farms and stockpiles of foods that are unprotected or sit out for too long. Once the food is gone, the flies will go away in search of another food source. If you have flies around a specific pile of food, getting rid of it in one way or another is another way to get rid of the flies.
That’s all the information you need to know about getting rid of flies in the game. Be sure to head to the Dwarf Fortress section of our website for more detailed guides.
