- Speaking of fire. Fire is bad. Wood and (confusingly) steel constructions will burn. Stone walls don't. Research and build a stone-cutting station to make usable blocks out of all those damn rocks lying around the place and use them for exterior walls / things that need to be fireproof.

- Turrets will instantly destroy anything in a three block radius when they blow up, so if you put them right next to each other then your entire defensive line will be annihilated in about thirty seconds.
- Don't be afraid to save scum when you first start out to learn the mechanics.
- Dwarf Fortressing into a mountain as a starter base sounds like a good idea but in reality it takes forever to mine out rooms and when you finally do the whole place will be dark and filthy. Dirty rooms give a negative mood, if your whole base is dirty then people will go insane pretty fast.
- When someone does go crazy you want to make sure you tell your remaining colonists to drop their weapons before taking down the madman, bruises will easily heal but cuts and bullet holes will not.
- Make a colony with perimeter walls and only one entrance, at least for early game raids the enemies will only go for the entrance and you can funnel them in.
- Don't ignore mad animals, even squirrels can fuck someone up good.
- Personal shields cannot be used with ranged weapons.
- Make like Matt Damon and grow tons of potatoes as soon as you can, they are the most reliable source of food and won't spoil if they are in your freezer.
- You're going to die eventually, don't stress about it. Raiders don't generally destroy colonies, heat waves do. You can make a masterpiece of a base and it will still get destroyed because all your food spoiled in the heat and everyone is getting heatstroke in their masterfully decorated rooms because it's 500 degrees F outside.
