If you want to do trading right then prepare carefully and give your future broker/book keeper a point in 'appraiser' skill, it'll let you know the rough value of your fortress and of trade goods at the depot right away.

If you want to edit the raws then I'd recommend creating a new workshop that gives you free stuff, it's very easy to do and there is a detailed guide for it in the wiki under cheating.

I made an advanced world, a lot of picks and axes, and I named the place Angadil. If you translate that, you now know my favorite book series. Congratulations.

No problems at the moment. Can a mod delete this post?

So, I'm back at this with a vengeance! I prepared carefully with lots of animals.... And then half of them killed each other. Fun!

So I tried to start a new colony, Pageslides.

Long story short, everybody died of thirst, so I locked them all in a cave while they keeled over.

Is there any RAW-editing shnaniganery that can alter how you're equipped and how many dorfs you start with?

If you run out of food or drinks, you can assign all your dwarves to gather plants. Plants can be eaten raw and brewed, very useful in an emergency.

Also, if you've never used Lazy Newb Pack, you might not be aware of the Dwarf Therapist either, which is one of the most useful tools in Dwarf Fortress. It allows you to easily see and change labor assignments.

So then my dorfs decided they can't reach anything, such as stockpiles and lever links. Even though the paths are completely open, there aren't any cave-ins and I didn't forbid the front door. Huh.

In other news, I am curious about the modding things. A bronze colossus fortress appeals to my inner mecha pilot.
