Initial Setup: Designations and Workshops

Set up your initial Dwarf Fortress. Designate 'Stockpiles', build a 'Carpenter's Workshop', and establish a 'Meeting Area' for your seven starting dwarves.

Upon embarking, your seven dwarves will arrive. Your first priority is to designate a small area for a 'Stockpile' (p-s) for all items, and then a 'Meeting Area' (i) to keep your dwarves together. Next, designate a 'Dig' (d-d) area for a small shelter and a 'Wood Cutting' (d-t) area for trees. Build a 'Carpenter's Workshop' (b-w-c) and a 'Mason's Workshop' (b-w-m) immediately. These are crucial for producing beds, doors, and other essential early-game items.
