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 c to check for the presence of other civilizations.
- Press 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.)
- Look for the presence of interesting underground features.
- Press v to view units and set their preferences.
- Press q and mark the wagon for removal.
- Press o for orders and options. Toggle as you like.
- Press i and designate a meeting area.
- Press n and reassign noble positions as desired.
- Press z and forbid the kitchen use of alcohol and plump helmets if necessary.
- Press 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 d, then 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 p to create piles for wild plants, wood, and/or refuse.
