Hello there, I like your guide, I've tested it in a world and it's working great! So far I have a few questions/points to bring up:

I noticed that iron bars are recommended for dragonfire-proof bridges and mechanisms, I wanted to point out that while metal is fire-safe, it is no longer immune to dragonfire and I'm pretty sure iron bridges will still melt under dragonfire.

About the gypsum plaster: is it necessary to bring gypsum plaster in particular? Splints serve the exact same purpose and can easily be made out of wood, and don't require a kiln on a map that might not have clay.

Pertaining to the recommended peafowls: Turkeys have much larger egg clutches on average and still live 7-10 years, which is plenty of time to learn how and successfully breed more, and also reach adulthood at the same age, so should turkeys be used instead?

Regarding the male cat: Is it necessary that the cat is specifically male, or can it be any gender?

Brewer skill: I've looked into the brewer skill and I can't find out what it affects, it doesn't seem to affect speed at all, so is the skill even necessary? Those points might be better invested elsewhere if it doesn't affect much.

Suggestion regarding dwarf skills and attributes: I barely bother with attributes in every world I do, except I try to make the strongest dwarf my mason, since otherwise hauling stone from the stockpile to the workshop takes absolutely forever. Should the guide recommend this? It's trivial, but it affects efficiency.

Loving the guide so far, I'm happy you decided to do it, it's perfect for players who have learned the ropes and don't quite know what to do yet. Keep it up! SkeleBret (talk) 19:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
