This is just a list of things you can do before at the start of your game if you are really obsessive.

  • Press c to check for the presence of other civilizations.
  • Press u to check for the presence of hostile wild animals.
  • Look for the presence of interesting underground features.
  • Press u to customize unit professions as necessary.
  • Press q and mark the wagon for removal.
  • Press o for orders and options. Then modify them as you desire.
  • Press i and designate a meeting area.
  • Press n and reassign noble positions as necessary.
  • Press z and disable the usage of alcohol and plump helmets in cooking if desired.
  • 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 v to view units and assign new labors as necessary.
  • Press p to create piles for wild plants, wood, and refuse.
