-[[File:NoFunAllowed.jpg|thumb|right|Of course, instead of trial and error you could also just read the wiki...]]
-''Dwarf Fortress'' started as a pretty complex game back in the days when it was 2D and barely had a quarter of the features it has now. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you first fire it up. Don't worry though, following a tutorial is a very easy way to learn the basics of the game in an afternoon.
-Don't worry if you don't understand why you do things on your first run, even after reading the tutorial's explanation. If one particular thing bugs you, try starting a new fort and skipping it, then seeing what goes wrong! Especially in the current version, trial and error is great way of having lots of [[fun]].
-== Installing and Running the Game ==
-If you have not installed the game yet, see [[Installation]].
-== Learning Fortress Mode ==
-Most of the tutorials were written for the older (40d) version of ''Dwarf Fortress'', but nonetheless, they are still helpful. If you get stuck within a specific aspect of the game, then [[Special:Search|search]] the wiki and don't hesitate to ask questions in the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=7.0 forum].
-The following tutorials will walk you through world generation, embarking with your 7 dwarves, game basics, and building a full-fledged fortress.

-=== Specific Elements ===
-These are not necessarily tutorials, but they can help out with specific parts of the game.
-*'''[[Important advice|Important Advice]]''' - Disregard at your own risk.
-=== Basics of World Generation ===

-*[[Map legend]]
-=== Basics of Embarking ===
-*[[Embark]]
-*[[Location]]
-*[[Biome]]
-*[[Surroundings]]
-=== 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.
-See:
-*[[Farming]]
-*[[Meat industry]]
-*[[Fishing]]
-*[[Herbalist|Gathering plants]]
-*[[Trading|Trading for food]]
-*And not to forget: [[Alcohol]]
-=== Mining and Minerals ===
-*[[The Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock]] - A primer, explaining geology in so far as it is implemented in ''Dwarf Fortress''. Note that DF geology is actually quite realistic, so knowledge of real world geology could make much of the game seem very familiar to you.
-=== Defending Against Enemies ===
-This is one of the most challenging aspects of the game, so if you feel confused even after reading all of this then you are not alone.

-*[[Military]] - or for a complete explanation and walkthrough of the military menu (advisable to look at first) the [[Military interface]]

-*[[Sparring]]
-*[[Trap]]s
-==Adventurer Mode==
-{{main|Adventurer mode}}
-Adventure mode tutorials are less common than for fortress mode. Also, some of the adventure mode wiki content is in sections on related pages, rather than on adventure mode-specific pages; the [[Adventurer mode|main page]] provides an overview with links to the sections or pages with more information.
