=== Feeding Dwarves === | === Feeding Dwarves === | ||
+ | There are several ways to [[Food|feed]] your dwarves. Your initial supplies will run out, but [[fishing]] and [[plant gathering]] are easy ways to get additional food in a starting fortress. The default embark group starts with a [[fisherdwarf]]; you'll need a [[fishery]] workshop to clean the fish your fisherdwarf catches, to make them edible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is very important to have enough [[alcohol]] for your dwarves, so building a [[still]] is almost a requirement during the first year. [[trading|Caravans]] bring some drinks, but not enough. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To ensure sustenance when the fortress grows, [[farming]] is the most reliable way. Above-ground farm plots are easy to set up (if you have soil on your map), but require [[seed]]s that can be obtained from gathered plants or by trading with humans or elves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Buying food from [[trading|caravans]] is a good way to prevent shortages. | ||
