| − | + | A checklist of what to do before you actually start the game by unpausing to help make sure your young fortress runs smoothly and avoids becoming a tiny, tiny tomb. Particularly important in less hospitable biomes and other dangerous sites. | |

| + | * Press {{k|c}} to check for the presence of other civilizations. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|u}} to check for the presence of hostile wild animals. (However, be aware that they often appear only after the game has been going for a few minutes.) | ||
| + | * Press {{k|v}} to view units and set their preferences. You can give them custom titles if you like. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|q}} and mark the wagon for removal. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|o}} for orders and options. Toggle as you like. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|n}} and reassign noble positions as desired. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|z}} and forbid the kitchen use of alcohol and plump helmets if necessary. | ||
| + | * At this point, you figure out where, you know, you're gonna dig your fortress. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|i}} and designate a meeting area. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|d}} to designate areas for plant gathering, wood cutting, and/or stone smoothing. (Stone smoothing is good for getting rid of boulders that impede outdoor farming.) | ||
| + | * Press {{k|d}}, then {{k|o}} to place traffic restrictions. Things to watch for: saplings, wild plants. Consider encouraging you dwarves to traffic specific areas to minimize damage to subsequent growth. | ||
| + | * Press {{k|p}} to create piles for wild plants, wood, and/or refuse. | ||
