Listing your dwarves (and other creatures)

From the main menu u will call up the unit list:

SCREENSHOT PLACEHOLDER

Dwarves will be listed on the left, by dwarf name and profession name, and the job they're doing will be listed on the right (though the "job" can be things like Template:L, Template:Ling, and so on). The dwarves are grouped by profession, with a dwarf's profession automatically determined by his/her highest ranking Template:L. You can select/scroll with and , and scroll with Page Up and Page Down. Once you select a dwarf, you can zoom in to their location with c, which is useful for finding wayward dwarves, or you can view their Template:L with v.

In addition to listing your dwarves, the unit list shows tame animals, wild animals, hostile sentient creatures, and anything that's died. Tame animals will have a "(Tame)" after their name and a redundant Tame in the right hand column, wild animals will have a Wild Animal in the right hand column, hostile sentients will have a Hositle in the right hand column, and dead things will have a Deceased in the right hand column. Dead creatures are never removed from the list, so it can get quite long after a while.

While all dwarves and all tame animals will always show up in the list, wild animals and hostiles will only show up if they're known, where "known" means:

  1. On a known tile (no line-of-sight required). When you first start the game there's plenty of unknown underground tiles, so none of the creatures down there will be on the list. The game starts with all surface tiles known.
  2. Not hiding. Template:L, Template:Lers and some monsters will hide until a dwarf or tame animal spots them, or until they trigger a Template:L, and until then they won't show up on the list.

Note that Template:L are never covered by the list.

Listing jobs

Using j from the main menu will show the list of currently active and waiting jobs:
