This is the section of the wiki that contains information about the worlds created in Dwarf Fortress. To begin playing in DF, you must first create a world to play in. This requires you select Create New World or Design New World with Advanced Parameters to enter either the world generation screen or its alternative. Although each world is generated using a series of fractal algorithms, many things in each world remain constant.
