If you have some [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] stockpiled, you'll be able to place a [C:6:0:0]Carpenter's Workshop[C:7:0:0]. Most [C:6:0:0]Workshops[C:7:0:0] require building material, such as [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] or [C:6:0:1]Boulders[C:7:0:0]. [C:6:0:0]Workshops[C:7:0:0] are one of many buildings you can place with the highlighted [C:5:0:1]Build[C:7:0:0] button. Click it now. Now that you have the building materials it's time to start building. (5 of 8) If all of your [C:6:0:0]Stockpiles[C:7:0:0] are full, go ahead and place another one. You can right click to close [C:5:0:1]Woodcutting[C:7:0:0] mode. Right clicking closes most menus. If the fallen logs are accessible, everyone will help store them in the [C:6:0:0]Stockpile[C:7:0:0]. Now we just need to wait for the woodcutter to chop down the tree. Make sure your woodcutter can walk to the designated location. When you are ready, open the [C:5:0:1]Woodcutting[C:7:0:0] menu and designate the trunk of a tree on the surface. [C:2:0:0]Haulers[C:7:0:0] will also drop [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] in your [C:6:0:0]All Stockpile[C:7:0:0] unless you turn it off in the [C:5:0:1]Custom Stockpile Menu[C:7:0:0]. Before you start chopping down trees you may want to create a dedicated [C:6:0:0]Wood Stockpile[C:7:0:0]. First you need building materials, like [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] or [C:6:0:1]Boulders[C:7:0:0].

Use the [C:5:0:1]Build[C:7:0:0] menu to place it in a room underground, just like the [C:6:0:0]Workshop[C:7:0:0]. Dig a new room first if you like. Now that you have a [C:6:0:1]Bed[C:7:0:0] you can place in it the fortress. Chop down more trees if necessary. Unpause and wait for the [C:6:0:1]Bed[C:7:0:0] to be completed. [C:6:0:1]Furniture[C:7:0:0] created at the [C:6:0:0]Carpenter's Workshop[C:7:0:0] usually takes one [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] to build. Add a task and make a [C:6:0:1]Bed[C:7:0:0]. Most objects that are placed, like [C:6:0:1]Doors[C:7:0:0] and [C:6:0:1]Furniture[C:7:0:0], must first be built in a [C:6:0:0]Workshop[C:7:0:0]. Your industrious citizens will perform any task added to the [C:6:0:0]Workshop[C:7:0:0]. Once the worker is done, click on the building to select it. When unpaused, a worker should now build the [C:6:0:0]Workshop[C:7:0:0]. [C:6:0:1]Crafts[C:7:0:0] are an easy way to make a lot of trade goods quickly. You need something of value to trade. To trade with the autumn caravan, you must build a [C:6:0:0]Trade Depot[C:7:0:0] from the [C:5:0:1]Build[C:7:0:0] menu. You may need supplies before the coming of winter.

Later you may try the [C:5:0:1]Burrows[C:7:0:0] menu to create a safe place for your civilians to hide when real trouble comes. To make sure they spend their free time down there you will need to use the [C:5:0:1]Zones[C:7:0:0] menu to create a [C:3:0:0]Meeting Area[C:7:0:0]. By now you should have a room underground where your residents can hide from the creatures above.

[C:7:0:1]Labor[C:7:0:0] Select [C:5:0:1]Farmplot[C:7:0:0] from the [C:5:0:1]Build[C:7:0:0] menu. It's in [C:5:0:1]Workshops[C:7:0:0] -> [C:5:0:1]Farming[C:7:0:0] -> [C:5:0:1]Farmplot[C:7:0:0]. Place the [C:6:0:0]Farmplot[C:7:0:0] on the subterranean soil. This isn't rich soil, but will suffice for now. Dig deeper to find better soil. With a subterranean soil floor exposed, you can place an underground [C:6:0:0]Farmplot[C:7:0:0]. Make sure to leave the ceiling above intact so the underground soil doesn't receive any sunlight. The highest mountain elevations do not have soil. The underground rectangle must be near the surface, where there is soil (loam, clay, or sand.) One level down should suffice, before you hit rock. Using [C:5:0:1]Mining[C:7:0:0] orders, you'll need to carve out a rectangular area underground for your [C:6:0:0]Farmplot[C:7:0:0]. The [C:6:0:0]Wagon[C:7:0:0] comes with some [C:6:0:1]Seeds[C:7:0:0], but as you might expect, these crops must be grown underground! There's some food on the embark [C:6:0:0]Wagon[C:7:0:0], and you can trade for food, but you can also grow your own. and certain [C:6:0:0]Workshop[C:7:0:0] tasks. You may find water underground. so that your residents have water to drink. You'll want one of these anyway for other purposes, like cleaning Absent alcohol and in warmer weather, you can designate a [C:3:0:0]Water Source[C:7:0:0] from the [C:5:0:1]Zones[C:7:0:0] menu at a river or pond, or [C:6:0:1]Plants[C:7:0:0] there. The number of [C:6:0:1]Drink[C:7:0:0] rations can be seen at the top of the screen. If you survive until the caravan comes you may also trade for [C:6:0:1]Drinks[C:7:0:0] The task also requires a [C:6:0:1]Barrel[C:7:0:0] from the [C:6:0:0]Carpenter's Workshop[C:7:0:0]. may try [C:5:0:1]Planting[C:7:0:0] or [C:5:0:1]Gathering[C:7:0:0]. Do this by selecting [C:5:0:1]Workshops[C:7:0:0] -> [C:5:0:1]Farming[C:7:0:0] -> [C:5:0:1]Fishery[C:7:0:0]. Remember, your workers do not eat raw fish! You must build a [C:6:0:0]Fishery[C:7:0:0] to prepare them. You can optionally choose to designate a [C:3:0:0]Fishing[C:7:0:0] zone if you don't want your workers going far afield. fishing labor assigned will begin fishing automatically. If there is a river or pond nearby you may consider fishing. If the water isn't frozen, a worker with the [C:7:0:1]Fishing[C:7:0:0] [C:6:0:1]Fertilizer[C:7:0:0] is not needed to farm. [C:6:0:1]Potash[C:7:0:0] is the fertilizer of choice, and it can be created in the [C:6:0:0]Ashery[C:7:0:0], using [C:6:0:1]Ash[C:7:0:0] from [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] burned in a [C:6:0:0]Wood Furnace[C:7:0:0]. A [C:3:0:0]Water Source[C:7:0:0] zone and a [C:6:0:1]Bucket[C:7:0:0] are also required. These effects are more pronounced deep underground where you can locate the cavern biome and its rich soil. [C:6:0:1]Fertilizer[C:7:0:0] and skilled [C:2:0:0]Planters[C:7:0:0] have a direct impact on crop yield. If you'd like to focus a few of your citizens on farming, which gives skill benefits, you can assign them to the [C:2:0:0]Planters[C:7:0:0] work detail from the [C:5:0:1]Labor[C:7:0:0] menu. Now your [C:2:0:0]Planters[C:7:0:0], those that can access both the [C:6:0:0]Farmplot[C:7:0:0] and the [C:6:0:1]Spawn[C:7:0:0], will plant the field, and after a period of growth, they'll be harvested. Note that you can obtain aboveground [C:6:0:1]Seeds[C:7:0:0] from trade or by eating gathered [C:6:0:1]Plants[C:7:0:0], but aboveground farming exposes your [C:2:0:0]Planters[C:7:0:0] to dangers and the elements. [C:6:0:1]Plump Helmets[C:7:0:0] are edible and the default [C:6:0:0]Wagon[C:7:0:0] comes with [C:6:0:1]Plump Helmet Spawn[C:7:0:0], which are their "seeds". Click on the [C:6:0:0]Farmplot[C:7:0:0] you placed to pull up the [C:5:0:1]Farming[C:7:0:0] menu. You need to select the crops to be grown each season. [C:3:0:0]Zones[C:7:0:0] are placed much like [C:6:0:0]Stockpiles[C:7:0:0]. There are several kinds of [C:3:0:0]Zones[C:7:0:0], which you can see in the panel on the left.

Do this by selecting the [C:5:0:1]Gathering[C:7:0:0] order. [C:7:0:1]Gathering[C:7:0:0] Stocks When a route has a steep descent, consider using powered [C:6:0:0]Rollers[C:7:0:0], extra curves, track "stops" between [C:6:0:0]Stops[C:7:0:0] with various friction settings, or a worker to guide the vehicle. [C:6:0:1]Minecarts[C:7:0:0] that move too quickly around corners will spill their contents. Only one condition needs to be satisfied for the [C:6:0:1]Minecart[C:7:0:0] to move to the next [C:6:0:0]Track Stop[C:7:0:0]. Each [C:6:0:0]Track Stop[C:7:0:0] must be linked to a [C:6:0:0]Stockpile[C:7:0:0] for [C:6:0:1]Items[C:7:0:0] to be put on or removed from the [C:6:0:1]Minecart[C:7:0:0]. One [C:6:0:1]Minecart[C:7:0:0] can be assigned to each route, and workers will move the vehicle from [C:6:0:0]Track Stop[C:7:0:0] to [C:6:0:0]Track Stop[C:7:0:0] according to conditions you specify. [C:6:0:1]Minecarts[C:7:0:0] and [C:6:0:0]Tracks[C:7:0:0] are a convenient way to move a lot of objects around the fortress quickly, though they take a little effort to prepare. Minecart routes It can be useful to assign all of your civilians to a safe emergency [C:1:0:0]Burrow[C:7:0:0] which you activate in case of intruders. [C:1:0:0]Burrows[C:7:0:0] can be suspended and unsuspended freely. When a [C:1:0:0]Burrow[C:7:0:0] is suspended, assigned citizens will ignore it. Workers will try to limit their tasks to the confines of the [C:1:0:0]Burrow[C:7:0:0], but they will sometimes form paths which pass through other areas. [C:1:0:0]Burrows[C:7:0:0] are work and living areas where citizens can be assigned. Just make sure you have the correct [C:6:0:0]Furniture[C:7:0:0] placed in the rooms with [C:6:0:0]Doors[C:7:0:0] or vertical entries separating each room before you begin. Certain [C:3:0:0]Zones[C:7:0:0] like [C:3:0:0]Bedrooms[C:7:0:0] can be placed several at a time. Unlike [C:6:0:0]Stockpiles[C:7:0:0], multiple [C:3:0:0]Zones[C:7:0:0] can overlap. Nobles and certain administrators require rooms, and some may also make demands. Once they are assigned, you can create work orders, run a [C:1:0:1]Hospital[C:7:0:0], and count and appraise your hoard. Certain important functions in your fortress can only be performed by assigned administrators, such as the [C:5:0:0]Manager[C:7:0:0] and [C:5:0:0]Bookkeeper[C:7:0:0]. These can also be assigned from the squad menu. Once the first leader is assigned, subsequent [C:5:0:0]Captain[C:7:0:0] positions will appear. [C:5:0:0]Militia Commanders[C:7:0:0] are assigned here. Here you can view your nobles, as well as assign your administrators, military leaders, and other officials. Nobles and administrators If a task does not have a default work detail, you can create a custom work detail. Once you assign citizens to the task, you can then set [C:5:0:1]"Only selected do this"[C:7:0:0] if you want to restrict it. Tasks are restricted by setting their work detail to [C:5:0:1]"Only selected do this"[C:7:0:0]. Citizens are restricted by using their [C:5:0:1]Specialization[C:7:0:0] button. Generally, almost every task will be available for every citizen, but you can both restrict both citizens and tasks. Work details are one way you can control which workers do which tasks, and they are the only way to assign certain tasks like mining, woodcutting, hunting, and fishing. If you don't have a [C:5:0:0]Bookkeeper[C:7:0:0], or they don't have an [C:3:0:0]Office[C:7:0:0] to work in, numbers may be approximate. Click on category headings to collapse and expand them.

Wildlife and even your own citizens can still be dangerous at times. Although this location is relatively safe, it is recommended that you prepare a squad and get them training at some point. Here you can create squads, fill their positions, assign equipment and schedules, and give specific orders. This is the squad menu. Squads Officers may opt for physical punishment if they cannot carry out custodial sentences. It is recommended to place a certain number of [C:6:0:0]Cages[C:7:0:0] and [C:6:0:0]Chains[C:7:0:0] and assign them to a [C:3:0:0]Dungeon[C:7:0:0] zone. This is particularly important for schemes where the witnesses might not have the full story. You can also interrogate suspects. All available witness information is presented for each case. It's up to you to choose whom to convict. Certain crimes are indicative of larger problems, so you should pay attention to them, and affected victims and family members get upset if crime is ignored. If you have a law enforcement administrator like a [C:5:0:0]Sheriff[C:7:0:0] or [C:5:0:0]Captain of the Guard[C:7:0:0], witnesses of crimes will make reports, which find their way here.

The [C:6:0:0]Carpenter's Workshop[C:7:0:0] is the best place to make lightweight [C:6:0:1]Bins[C:7:0:0] and [C:6:0:1]Barrels[C:7:0:0], but they can also be made at (and some other things like [C:6:0:1]Sand[C:7:0:0]). [C:6:0:1]Bins[C:7:0:0] hold just about everything else except [C:6:0:1]Furniture[C:7:0:0], [C:6:0:1]Wood[C:7:0:0] and [C:6:0:1]Boulders[C:7:0:0].

You can also create work orders at specific [C:6:0:0]Workshops[C:7:0:0] from their building sheet. You can limit work orders to a number of [C:6:0:0]Workshops[C:7:0:0]. For instance, you can create an order to [C:3:0:1]Make Wooden Bins[C:7:0:0] if you are out of empty ones, to [C:3:0:1]Brew Drinks[C:7:0:0] if you are running low, or to [C:3:0:1]Make Five Statues[C:7:0:0] every month. These work orders are set to complete a certain number of [C:3:0:1]Tasks[C:7:0:0] and can be given start conditions. Work orders are used to automate [C:3:0:1]Tasks[C:7:0:0] in [C:6:0:0]Workshops[C:7:0:0]. Raids are created by clicking on any site not belonging to your civilization. You can also cause trouble if you'd like to raid your neighbors. Stolen [C:6:0:1]Artifacts[C:7:0:0] and kidnapped citizens can be recovered by preparing missions from this screen.
