Watch out if your farming the underground river. I got a nice farm all up and running, only to have my farmers killed by a frogman invasion. Probably an idea to manufacture a few weapons first, or at least give novice wrestling skills to your starting group

Well, I've got the two initial picks and axes, nothing more.
I've struck some copper though, so I could make some low quality weapons to last until I find something better.

I tried farming with floodgates and channels, as it should be safer

I hope it is, as soon as I found the river I floodgated it, so now the river can't reach me, and hopefuly no creatures will. (They can still climb through the well though)

Hey, when my first caravan arrived I had no trading post. Completely missed them; but then I survived to see a few more.

I missed them as well, the jeweling thing was a mistake after a restart.

It's about the same time as any other season  maybe 30 minutes? I think 2 'days' is the norm for a season.

Thanks

Is there even a way to see what season it is? Sometimes I miss the messages that tells of the turning of the season, and then I'm lost...

Try the (a)nnoucements, they keep record of all the messages, including "Autmn has come"

You don't need a dwarf skilled in it. Just turn off all of their tasks and switch on jewel carving and they'll go do it (their skill will improve over time)

But the Workshop isn't built, it says it needs Jewel Making and thus construction is suspended.
