Dwarves have various skills and preferences. Access the 'Labor' menu (v-l) to assign specific tasks. Initially, ensure you have at least one 'Miner', 'Woodcutter', 'Carpenter', 'Mason', 'Farmer', and 'Cook'. Don't over-assign tasks; let dwarves specialize. As your fortress grows, you'll need more specialized laborers. Keep an eye on their moods and needs, as unhappy dwarves can throw tantrums or go insane, leading to chaos.
