I've just started with the game. The most annoying thing seems to be that every time I get something done, like finished the bedroom or dining room, the cavern collapses and half o' me crew die. Well, I didn't mind it at first. But the very next day some mandrill start creeping around me fortress. So my questions are adressed to those players whom have more experience 'bout the game. What can I do? every single fortress that i've made has collapsed. I've made a pilar per every 7x7 room but it still keeps collapsing and killing me dwarfs. Thank you.

You need to make sure that a 7x7 space doesn't exist. Any space that contains a 7x7 space will collapse.

code:

XXXXXXXX
X......X
X......X
X......X
X......X
X......X
X......X
XXXXXXXX

Won't collapse

code:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X.....................X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Was that pillar just unmined spot or builded one? If it was builded make sure your dwarves actually builded it.
