[In the span of less than a day, you dug out several rooms, started on furniture, and planted a farm? It takes a legendary miner at least a day to dig out a small room.]
[Zanzetkuken, I'd recommend letting things go fast, so that way we're not spending umpteen pages on days of either nothing happening in tents and hovels as stuff gets dug out, or people doing things at a godlike speed because they're bored. Realistically, #1 priority of people should be working on either tunnels or building surface houses, not starting on crafts before shelter's even up.
In game, though minutes seem to pass, it's actually days. It usually takes until summer to have shelter dug out and workshops established, and that's with 3 miners. With just 1 forumite working on digging, you guys are going to spend a lot of time sleeping out in the cold and the wind. Cougar's got enough meat to feed you all for a few days, you have water, so you can afford to spend all your time digging or building cabins.
I imagine that by day 7, you'd have a simple cabin or a dug out room big enough for everyone to sleep in if you all pitched in. Realistically, nothing much interesting would happen in the intervening time, so you'd gain by just going to "surprised we've been here a week already." As of right now, you're still at the "sleeping under the embark wagon" stage, and you don't even have a wagon, much less a fort. You're still at the stage where everyone could be killed by 1 unfortunately timed Giant Badger. You can't be the crazy dwarves who create awesome crafts yet, because you still have to be the pioneering dwarves who brave the elements and wilderness to establish a foothold of civilization, unskilled at first but learning to be badass through hard work and tenacity.]
