"Dreamfort blueprints take care of everything to get the fort up and running. You don't need to clear any trees or create any extra buildings or stockpiles (though of course you are free to do so). Blueprints that do require manual steps (like 'assign minecart to hauling route') will leave a message telling you so when you run them. Blueprints will also leave messages with hints when you might want to run ""quickfort orders"" to start manufacturing needed items."

"Dreamfort works best at an embark site that is flat and has at least one soil layer. New players should also avoid aquifers if they are not prepared to deal with them. Bring picks for mining, an axe for woodcutting, and about 10 blocks (of any material) to speed up construction of starting workshops."

"Directly after embark, apply /surface1 on the surface (see /surface_help for how to select a good spot) and /industry1 on a level least two z-levels underground (the z-level immediately below the surface is reserved for the farming level). The walkthroughs for those levels will guide you. Once you channel out parts of the surface with /surface3, you can start the farming sequence on the z-level below the surface with /farming1. You can start the services, guildhall, suites, and apartments sequences as your fort needs those levels."
