Troubleshooting
Dwarf Fortress has only one person writing its code. There's a lot of it, and a lot that is quite new, so it's unfortunately inevitable that some imperfections creep in. The game itself, while not particularly "hard" in the traditional sense (especially the later versions), is complex, and it's easy to become confused.
This page exists so that when you run into the above, you can come here and hopefully solve your problem. Ain't that neat? Yeah, we people are cool like that on this wiki.

Was that... Supposed to happen?
Unfortunately, DF is not immune to bugs in the code. Some can be quite prominent. While Toady fixes them as fast as he can, you might find some workarounds on the known bugs page.
This page can't help me!
Not to worry, there's plenty of DF players out there- often they'll gladly help you figure out your particular daunting dwarvish dilemma. Remember to be polite and searching for previously answered questions (when applicable).
