[UNUSVOSDILIGO]

I have recently started this new version of DF, and I had previously played the old version. Looking for any tips on starting out. Didn't know it would be totally different than what I was used to, please help!

1. Find a river or other fresh water source, or all wounded Dwarves are dead
2. But make sure you dont build into an aquifer, they are very hard to get past
3. You presumbly want sand for glass
4. Drop your anvil on the starting screen and you will have enough points for everything you want
5. Bring alot of logs
6. The smaller the area, the less the lag
7. Good luck!

Pick a spot with a layer of sand, loam or clay. You can farm on them without needing to build a complex watering system. If the game gives you any warnings about aquafirs or salt water, pick somewhere else. Dig downward untill you hit rock, build your fortess there.

Also, while you need to muddy rock befor you can farm on it, you only have to muddy it once, and farms will persist.
