==Viewing menus==
 
==Viewing menus==
There are four menus for gaining more information about the map and the creatures that inhabit it. When used a yellow X-shaped cursor appears which you can move around the map using the numberpad to gain information.
+
[[File:Df-menu-keys.png|thumb|Shortcut keys for the top-level menus]]
  
===Look Around, k===
+
The buttons on the bottom-left of the screen all have shortcut keys that allow you to access them.
The loo{{k|k}} command shows you individual map tiles and what is standing/resting upon them. The menu displays [[Creatures]], Objects, [[Building|Buildings]], [[Map tile]]s in that order. You can use the {{k|+}} {{k|-}} keys to browse these things and press {{k|Enter}} to gain more detailed information.
 
  
You can also designate an item to be [[forbid|forbidden]], [[dump|dumped]], or [[melt|melted]] from this menu, if it is allowed (You can't designate a loaf of bread to be melted, for example!).
 
  
 +
===Creatures, u===
 +
[[File:Creatures-tab.png|thumb|The creatures tab.]]

 +
* Dead/Missing
  
===View Units, v===
+
===Tasks, t===
The {{key|v}}iew command gives detailed information on creatures: a [[dwarf]], an [[creature|animal]], a [[goblin]], etc. You do not need to place the cursor directly over the creature, information is given on the nearest creature. If multiple creatures are the same distance from the cursor (usually due to occupying the same tile), use {{key|v}} to cycle through them.  
+
[[File:Tasks-tab.png|thumb|The tasks tab.]]
 +
A list of the tasks that your dwarves are doing, as well as pending tasks. You can jump to the specific dwarves, or go to their information pages from here.

+

===Labor, y===
The {{k|q}}uery command allows you to {{k|s}}uspend construction of a room or object, mark it for {{k|r}}emoval, or interact with its specific functionality.
+
Here you can assign what dwarves do what type of labor.
*If you query a [[workshop]] you can change what tasks are being worked on, set a particular task to repeat or be suspended, or change who is allowed to use the workshop.
 
*If you query a piece of [[furniture]] you can define a [[room]] from it (e.g. a [[bed]] into a [[bedroom]], a [[chair]] into an [[office]], etc.). Depending on the type of furniture there are additional options (e.g. a [[door]] can be locked, a [[coffin]] can be used for either [[pet]] or citizen burial).

*If you query a [[farm plot]] you can change what crops are being planted.

This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

This is a beginner's guide to Fortress Mode interface controls. This page assumes the default key bindings.

As a beginner it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the (View Unit - Preferences - Labor) submenu, the Query buildings menu, the Designate menu, and the Build menu.

Viewing menus[edit]

Shortcut keys for the top-level menus

The buttons on the bottom-left of the screen all have shortcut keys that allow you to access them.


Creatures, u[edit]

The creatures tab.

The Creatures command gives detailed information on creatures: a dwarf, an animal, a goblin, etc. This command has several different tabs:

  • Citizens
  • Pets/Livestock
  • Others
  • Dead/Missing

Tasks, t[edit]

The tasks tab.

A list of the tasks that your dwarves are doing, as well as pending tasks. You can jump to the specific dwarves, or go to their information pages from here.

Places, P[edit]

The Places command allows you to view various places, with tabs for:

  • Zones, such as refuse, pastures, clay gathering, rooms, and meeting halls.
    • You can also assign a room to belong to a specific dwarf here.
  • Named locations designated in your fortress (libraries, temples, guildhalls, taverns)
    • In this tab you can control the supplies desired for your locations, as well as designate a worker/workers for the location as appropriate.
  • Stockpiles where you can change what types of objects are stored there, how many barrels are used, etc.
  • Workshops where you can change what tasks are being worked on, set a particular task to repeat or be suspended, or change who is allowed to use the workshop.
  • Farm plot you can change what crops are being planted.

Labor, y[edit]

Here you can assign what dwarves do what type of labor.

Options & Orders, o[edit]

o Access the Standing orders

Nobles & Administrators, n[edit]

n Access the Nobles screen

Objects, O[edit]

Justice, j[edit]

Burrows, U[edit]

U Opens the burrows menu

Hauling, H[edit]

The Hauling command allows you to designate and configure minecart routes and stops.

Order your Dwarves[edit]

These commands affect what your dwarves do.

Logging, l[edit]

Gather plants, g[edit]

Smooth, v[edit]

Remove orders, x[edit]
