<s>Still having problems keeping track of all my dwarves.</s>

I can now keep track of my dwarves.

Now I'm having problems keeping track of all the blood.

== Initial setup: Get Sliver Barbs ==
Lately I've been obsessed with farming Sliver Barbs, so my fortresses have been set in evil areas. Thus my first priority is to set up a safe dining/sleeping area that I can recall my dwarves to during a grimeling attack.

[[Image:31_12_Tosidmamot_Communal.PNG]]

This is Tosidmamot, and it's set in a hot, sinister savanna. I'm using a tiny custom tileset.

My second priority is to dig a tunnel straight down until I hit the first cavern. This gives me a "dump" that I can use to dispose of water from my underground farms (note that Sliver Barbs can only be grown above ground) and to empty my well reservoir if necessary. Eventually I'll build grates and stone floors to keep all the flying cavern dwellers out of my fortress.

Good edit on the Slate page! Many pages on the wiki are still incomplete and need additions from users just like you, so feel free to keep adding information.

I'd like to know how your first fortresses are coming along. Could you write a paragraph or two on your user page about your progress? --[[User:Mana eater|Anachron]] 14:15, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Mana eater: Room Value and Artifact Furniture

== Room Value and Artifact Furniture ==

There needs to be a list somewhere of which artifact furniture increases room value and which does not. For example, an artifact floor grate will increase room value (even though it is not typical furniture) but an animal trap will not. How about millstones? Querns? --[[User:Mana eater|Anachron]] 17:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

First timer to editing a wiki. Not sure how to begin.

<br><br>
Well then, let me be the first to greet ya!
<br><br>

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.<br>
Since we prefer that you try to follow our wiki's standards, we've made a list of basic guidelines. Note that this is an impersonal template, so some may not apply to you.
* To let us know who you are, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code> after your posts. This can also be inserted with the [[Image:Button sig756222.png]] button if JavaScript is enabled.
* Avoid making many small edits to a page. Instead, try to make one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read.
* When making comments on a talk page, use one more colon before each line in your comment than was used in the comment you reply to. Put an empty line between comments by different users but do not use blank lines inside of a comment. If your comment has no indents, use <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> after each line.
* Never, ever, put a question mark in the title of a page. This is not an undoable mistake. The rule list elaborates.
* Most importantly, [[DwarfFortressWiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]] Really. Read them.
<div align=center><div style="width: 28em; padding: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #eee; text-align: center">''"You have been processed! Go forth, now, and edit!" --[[User:Savok|Savok]]''</div></div>

<br><br>
Additionally, why the extra [[User:Anachron|User]] page? <br>
If you're trying to do what I do with my signature, then look at this for reference:<br>

<nowiki>[[(1)|(2)]]</nowiki><br>

(1) Target link location (in this case, User:N9103, my actual user page, using the name I signed up to the wiki with)<br>
(2) What to display instead of the link itself (My actual name, Edward, instead of my unusual handle, which I prefer to go by)<br>

e.g. <nowiki>[[User:Mana eater|Anachron]]</nowiki>

Put that in your preference page instead of just your nickname, and it'll give you a redirect to *Your* page, but showing the name you'd rather sign with, anytime you press the signature button or use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>

Hope that helps!<br>
--[[User:N9103|Edward]] 06:48, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

Thank you for the welcome Edward, I marked the "Anachron" pages for deletion like you suggested. Will polish up my wiki knowledge and read the materials you suggested. Cheers! --[[User:Mana eater|Anachron]] 08:36, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Mana eater:

should this page be moved to the singluar title "Activity zone" ?

Any advice how to get dwarves really drink where I want them?
I have one space water supply zone at the end of channel so the zone is above the floodgate) and then I have another 12 space zone around a little pond.. still all the dwarves run all the way to the brook for drink. (..yea yea, I know, I need booze. sorry for beeing slow)
--Shiona
:under the orders menu, along with the only farmers harvest and refuse type orders, there is an option for zones, under that submenu you can say 'prefer to drink/fish at zone' 'only drink/fish at zone' which might be what you need. Also make sure you are setting the zones to a type and not just designating them. --[[User:Shades|Shades]] 05:27, 6 November 2007 (EST)

This is not really related to zones, but I have a pond my dwarves are filling, which is three levels deep. They seem to be suffering from extreme vertigo; they keep filling a bucket, dumping it in, and then staggering away stunned and nauseous. There's vomit ''all over'' my pond now.
- [[User:Clockwork|Clockwork]] 19:20, 18 November 2007 (EST)
:That sounds like cave adjustment to me. When's the last time they've been outside before that problem arose? If dwarves spend too long underground, they'll get accustomed to it, to the point that being hit by sunlight again will give them the exact symptoms you just described. The pond has nothing to do with it, aside from the fact that they're outside while filling it. --[[User:Hesitris|Hesitris]] 22:42, 18 November 2007 (EST)

Is it normal that dwarves won't pick up and dump items if the item is outside? It seems kind of squirelly to me.--[[User:Benitosimies|Benitosimies]] 00:43, 16 March 2008 (EDT)

:yes, items set to be dumped are concidered refuse by the dwarves. to get them to dump outside things you need to go go to o, r, and set dwarves to collect refuse outside. -[[User:Chariot|Chariot]] 02:11, 16 March 2008 (EDT)

while reading articles in this wiki, i sometimes see keyboard keys described as being "pushed" (for example, under Construction in [[Well]]), sometimes as being "used" (link) and sometimes just Shortcut {{k|w}} (for example, [[Dump]]). can i use any of these in articles that i wish to add to the wiki? -[[User:Anachron|Anachron]]

40d:Skill

2008-05-01T07:36:29Z

Mana eater:

The '''skill''' a person has in an area determines how well that person accomplishes tasks in that area. Skills increase in rank with [[experience]]: every time a person completes a task successfully, the corresponding skill will increase by an amount of [[experience]] points (XP). Once the XP reach the amount required for the next level, the rank will increase.

The highest skill or skills of a dwarf determines their profession.

== Skill ranks ==

To reach Novice level in any skill requires 500 XP. Reaching each successive level requires an additional 100 XP, so to go from Novice to ''No label'' requires 600 XP; ''No label'' to Competent requires 700 XP, and so on. The following figures are the ''cumulative'' XP needed to go from unskilled to any given skill level.
