+ | There are several ways to [[Food|feed]] your dwarves. Your initial supplies will run out, but [[fishing]] and [[plant gathering]] are easy ways to get additional food in a starting fortress. The default embark group starts with a [[fisherdwarf]]; you'll need a [[fishery]] workshop to clean the fish your fisherdwarf catches, to make them edible. | ||

+ | |||
