Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki. This is a collection of user-submitted guides, information and advice for "Dwarf Fortress". Dwarf Fortress is a game for Windows, Linux and Mac, developed by Bay 12 Games featuring two modes of play, distinct, randomly-generated worlds (complete with terrain, wildlife and legends), gruesome combat mechanics and alcohol dependency. The wiki currently has 2242 articles.

Meanwhile, bugs used as melee weapons sustain no wear at all, having tested this by using a live slug to punch a dwarf in the stomach long enough to make him explode. — Bug Report #0009920
