You might want to grab a copy of Getting Started With Dwarf Fortress; it has the significant advantage of teaching you how to do everything the old-fashioned way with no third-party tools.

Yes, we have a professional-quality software training handbook instead of a game manual. Badass, isn't it?

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Black Powder Firearms - Superior firepower, realistic manufacturing and rocket launchers!

Is that setup in the book?

Edit: Read it in the Safari library. It wasn't. Nothing s clever as the farm setup above was in it.
