Just DL'd this game a few days ago and wow is it confusing. The wiki and the video tutorials have been helping clear most things up, but I still have a few questions.
1. Is there any way to view more of the world map than just the area immediately around my starting point? I seem to only be able to see about 200x200 tiles or so. Am I limited to building/playing in this area? Is there any way to view the world outside this area?
2. I had read several places that if I go down deep enough there will also be magma. I have gone down as far as the game will allow (-9) and I do not see any magma? Do I need to send a dwarf digging his way down there to be able to see it? Same goes for the underground caves I don't see any at all. Do I need to dig down at random until I run into one to be able to see it?
3. I am over 3 years into the game and I have yet to be attacked by anything. No goblins, no aggressive wildlife, no nothing. Do I need to trigger it somehow? My dogs have killed harmless things like rats and dragonflies, but that's it.
4. When I use the repeat command in the workshops they only repeat the order until they run out of materials. Then the order is deleted entirely. Is there a way to keep the order permanently? So if they run out of materials they just wait until they have more to work with and then continue building?
5. I have cut down all the trees in the viewable area. Is there a way to find more other than waiting for traders to come with wood for sale?
Thanx for any answers in advance.
