Back to the Template:L

You can view and set various details of your dwarfs by using v from the main menu, which will show you various things about your closest dwarf (or closest creature).

General view

The game starts out with the general view. You can return to the general view with g.

  • The topmost line shows the dwarf's name, followed by their profession name. The profession name is determined by the dwarf's highest Template:L (unless manually set to something else), as is the color of the line.
  • The next line shows the dwarf's name inside of double quotes, but with the last name translated from Dwarfish to English.
  • The third line shows the sex of the dwarf with ♂ or ♀ .
  • The fourth line shows whatever job the dwarf is currently engaged in, or No Job if there is no job.
  • After that comes the list of the Template:L the dwarf has. If the skill list is too long to fit all at once on the screen you can scroll through it with + and -. You can toggle hiding or displaying the combat, labor, and Template:L with c, c and m} respectively.


Wounds

You can view the Template:Ls a dwarf has with w; white text means that that body part is fine. The wounds screen will also show you if the dwarf is hungry, thirsty, bleeding, nauseous, and so on.

Inventory

You can view the items a dwarf is wearing or holding with i. You can then scroll through the list using + and -, and see more details on an item with Enter. See also the Template:L page.

Labors and work dogs

With p you get the chance to examine and set the dwarfs labors (l) and word dogs (e).

Labors

This shows the Template:Ls that the dwarf has enabled. If a dwarf has a labor enabled then s/he will perform that job, no matter how low that skill, since any dwarf can do any job (even though s/he will do it slowly and poorly without any skill).

All of the labors are grouped together by category (except for Template:L). If none of the labors in a category are enabled the category is gray, if some are enabled the category is light gray, and if all labors are enabled the category is white.
