Ok, so I'll probably have quite a few eventually, but seeing as a part of the fun of DF is figuring things out, I'll start with only one question.

Namely, how/where do I find shopkeepers?

[Krakarn]

From the 'T'ravel map, you can look for towns (from the 'Q'uest interface you can move the marker to see the surroundings). They are filled with shops.

[Chandrak]

Do they need to be a certain size or something? The region im in is filled with tons of hamlets, but I have yet to see anyone living there labeled as Shopkeeper, or any building that looks other than a hovel filled with people and no furniture, barring the occassional bed.

[Isher]

You have to find a town. Hamlets are no good. Which sucks.

Ask which way the capital is.

[Chandrak]

Haha ok. Well maybe I can manage to make my way through days worth of wilderness with nothing but a small handful of badly geared villagers to get to town....

[Chandrak]

Ok, so next question.... is there a way to butcher / prepare all these dead wolf parts I keep leaving around? Basically, we start with so little food/water and the town is so far away im afraid I may run out of supplies before I get there.

Incidentally, the aforementioned long travel ended gruesomely at the hands of some warband leader, haha.

Edit: Hah, found it in keybindings. I guess its x to butcher. Now to figure out how to draw water from wells.
Edit2: Ah well figured that out too. Wasnt obvious, haha.

Care to enlighten me

I was playing a little last night and couldn't figure out how to use a well

How to use a well:

• Stand adjacent to the well.
• Type u to interact with the well
• You should get the option to lower the bucket, do that.
• Type u to interact with the well again.
• You should get the option to raise the bucket, do that.
• Type e, to "eat"
• One of the options should allow you to drink one of the ten units of water from the bucket.

I have a quite Newbish question.

My quest tells me to go a dungeon but where are they? Are they in the fortresses or just around the cities?

[Mike Mayday]

Is there a way to take the water from the well bucket with you?

Do I need to feed and water my companions? If so, how do I do that?

[gordogomez]

You can take water from the bucket if you have a water skin. Just use advanced interact ('I') and chose the water skin while standing next to the well.  Any way, i keep dropping my water on the floor since i try to ('d')rink it instead of ('e')ating it

[zombat]

Ah the U key

So obvious

[Rip0k]

Ok so my question is: How do I take out things stored in cabinets? ('g' 'u' and 'I' does nothing ;/)

[Crinkles]

If I recall, someone filed a bug report about that. Apparently, there just isn't a way to get stuff out of cabinets at the moment.

I recently noticed that in this release, putting arrows in quivers is different and i cant figure out how.
