'''Burrows''' are user-defined areas in your fort for restricting jobs or/and dwarves. They are a way to limit the jobs your dwarf takes, what items they use or where they go, thus being an important tool for [[Defense_guide|Fortress Defense]]. A burrow can be used for one, multiple, or all of the above at once. | '''Burrows''' are user-defined areas in your fort for restricting jobs or/and dwarves.

+ | To enter the "define burrow" mode, press {{k|w}}. | ||
− | + | You'll be presented with a list of all of your existing burrows. Change which burrow is selected with your secondary selection keys ({{k|+}},{{k|-}},{{k|*}}, & {{k|/}}). | |
− | |||
− | + | To add a new burrow to the list, press {{k|a}}. The new burrow created this way starts with no tiles and a default name. | |
− | + | To configure an existing burrow, select it, then press {{k|enter}} to set the burrow's {{k|n}}ame, {{k|c}}hange the symbol used, and define what tiles it encompasses by setting/e{{k|r}}asing tiles. Defining the burrow's tiles can be done using keyboard to make rectangles or drawing with the mouse much like [[designation|designating]] tiles. A burrow does not need to be contigious and can extend into unrevealed space and other burrows - in the latter case, it can help use different colors and symbols to help tell them apart. | |
