Welcome to I Play Dwarf Fortress – (And You Can Too!) This tutorial is written for those who have little to no knowledge of Dwarf Fortress, but you can use it as a handy how-to for various things. This is designed to be played along with a supplied save game (available in section 2.0) so you can follow along the tutorial the entire time!
Continue on to 1.0 – Introduction to learn more about Dwarf Fortress, or just go straight to 2.0 – Getting Started to just get started playing!
PLEASE comment to tell me if you want something added, removed, changed or if you have questions.
If you have ideas on what else you want added, let me know in a comment or in the feedback section! Some of my ideas are…
- Windmills, waterwheels and automatic power (next?)
- Prisoners
- Clearing out caves

Just wanted to say thank you so, so, so much!
For DF tutorial, I usually try my best to watch video, but they’re so long, and I’m deaf so I never really understood what the commentary was talking about. So I’ve been dreading for a reading tutorial and this is exactly what I need!
Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
I’ve always been interested in playing, but never dared to go past the entrance barrier. With your help I did and am now utterly hooked.

Hello 8bittechno. I also want to thank you so much! You’re tutorial is so easy to follow and understand. I tried following youtube videos or other tutorials but it was so hard. I thought I would never be able to understand this game. But your tutorial is so great and easy to get into the game it’s just brilliant.
Regards, Invest

Thank you so much, got me all up and running! My tutorial fort got messed up by a Forgotten Beast deep underground while they were hiding from the goblins I had accidentally let in, but they died valiantly, their stomachs full of war dog. Then I played a quick round of let’s-all-die-of-thirst-in-the-first-winter. Fun!
Power seems to be a big part of the game I have no idea what to do about, so if you could cover that, that would be great!
