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.
