Now you have everything needed to build your first Crude Workshops. You can also find stone within larger hills and mountains by mining their walls although digging down is still required to acquire ores and raw gems. With Metal Depth set to Shallow during map generation, you can expect metal ores and raw gems to show up within the first few levels of stone. Stone isn't usually visible on the map so you'll need to dig down to level -7 to hit rock. You'll have other tasks for them so it's better to do it in portions as needed. A large chunk of your log needs will be taken of as you clear land to build on, so it is unnecessary to instruct your gnomes to clear the whole map right off the bat. Chopping down around fifty trees should hold you over for a while. Generally speaking, it's best to avoid felling fruit trees: if you Forage the trees, the fruit will grow back but if you fell it instead, you lose any future fruit it may produce. You'll see that each tree is highlighted in yellow in the highlighted selection. Click and drag to select a chunk of the map with trees. To get logs, right click a non-designated area, choose Agriculture, then Fell Trees. Wood is easy to get: Trees are probably nearby awaiting your woodcutters. You'll need wood and stone to get crafting going. So you can initially build all the beds you need to keep your gnomes rested, then days 5-8 tear half apart and feed your yaks with them, then days 9+ rebuild them when your wheat farm finally produces more straw. Keep in mind that you can 'deconstruct' (main option 6) straw beds and turn them back into straw.

Your rancher will move the two yaks who came with you to the pasture, and they'll breed and provide another in twelve days.Ĭheck Animals for current animal gestation periods and sizes. While you're doing this, designate a Pasture (at least size 36 to contain three yaks) somewhere nearby. Don't forget to build proper beds after your Carpenter, Loom, and Tailor are up and running.

It's all that's needed initially, and your gnomes will thank you for it by not collapsing all over the place in the first few days. You therefore want to get a wheat farm up and running as soon as possible if you use the straw for straw beds.ĭesignate an area as a Dormitory (at least 8 squares large) and build eight straw beds within. These are also needed to feed your yaks (they need straw after 10-12 days to prevent them from leaving). You do, however, start with 16 units of straw which can be used to build beds. You will need half the economy up and running for soft, comfy beds. As of version 8.25, proper beds (with nice mattresses) are far out of reach when you start.
