Work orders are a great way of automating work, especially in larger forts. When you're building something that requires choosing many materials (like when building a 5x5 floor) clicking shift+enter on a material will use the max available of that material. When you're moving a cursor around (like when looking, building furniture or designating mining) holding shift and pressing a direction will move the cursor 10 tiles in that direction. The shift key can be used in a few places to speed things up. I usually cancel hauling on at least my carpenter, mason and miner. You can also hit 'v' from the main screen and move the cursor to a dwarf instead of 'u'->'z'). Pressing shift-enter will enable/disable all sub-labours. If they're storing things in stockpiles instead of more important tasks, cancel hauling and other labours on relevant dwarves (select the dwarf from the 'u'nits menu and hit 'z' to zoom to them, then 'p' for preferences and 'l' for labour. If nothing is getting done, check the 'u' screen and see what your dwarves are doing. From this menu, you can select the creature and hit 'v' to get more info about it, or 'z' to zoom to where it is on the map. Checking this intermittently can help identify if something dangerous wanders onto the map, especially if you've breached the caverns. The 'u' screen has a tab (Others) for showing creatures on the map that don't belong to your fort. To make these changes, open the file /data/init/d_init.txt and change: This makes dealing with migrant waves a little easier and stops some novice kicking your legendary weaponsmith out of the forge, or fisherdwarves flooding you with hundreds of fish. In addition, turning migrant labours to 'off' means new migrants will arrive with all non-skilled labours disabled. Lowering it to, say, 40, can help keep a first fort more manageable.
The default population cap of 200 can be a lot to learn with. Here's a few things I think may be helpful to newer players:

If you'd like to know more before installing, refer to the readme files or visit the mod page.Thought it might be worth having a thread for sharing tips and tricks that may be useful to newer players. There's too much stuff done to really list here. ZM5 and Hugo the Dwarf also provided a ton of assistance in repairing things from nearly all of the mods. Domestically Bred Dwarven Beasts, by vettlingr.Whatevermancy, by IndigoFenix (from Mostly Mythical Monsters mod).Sver's Combat Overhaul by Sver, et al (tissue revisions).Arctic Additions, by Malecus (creatures and plants).Civilization Forge, by Mephansteras (creatures, plants, and inorganics).Nature+, by Lurksquatch (creatures and plants).It includes elements from the following mods, repaired where needed or given new descriptions, tweaks to biomes, and so on and are all used with permission. The creatures work and appear in Arena mode, and some testing has shown other things to work as well (weapons appearing, creatures popping up being a menace, that kind of thing,) so unless there's some glaring flaws it should work. In theory, everything should presently work fine. This mod is one that aims to add new creatures, fill in missing ones, or add new content to the game without being too extreme or doing anything too crazy.Īs with my utility mod, everything is modular, and as few new materials as possible are added for maximum compatibility and end-user customizability, but at the end of the day the main name of this game is adding things to the game that wouldn't feel too out of place in a vanilla game and balance tweaks here and there. Before anything else, if you notice some major flaw in anything in the mod, please let me know so it can be fixed quickly as possible.Īs of V9, the mod has been given a massive reorganization to increase modularity and make it easier to update.
