Gnomads Have Arrived!
Congratulations! You've been fortunate enough to be granted the lucky task of expanding the glorious
Gnomepire! To accomplish this most illustrious of deeds, you are given your own band of merry
gnomes, all skilled in the art of .. something or other. It's up to you to guide the development of this
new kingdom and bring much wealth and power to the wonderful Gnomes! But how to start..?
A Merchant Has Arrived!

Some Tips for Gnoministrators
Where To Go From Here
This is a guide for new gnoministrators, who are taking their first steps into building a new kingdom.
This guide is intended to show you how to play the game, and take you through your first season, to
your first gnomad arrival, and your merchant visit on the 5th day of summer. This guide generally takes
a pacifist angle in order to help teach the basics of playing this somewhat complex game. There are
certainly more efficient or more dangerous ways to go about your settlement. The best way to use this
guide, would be to read it through first, then follow along in your own game.
Comments
Some things to consider when playing Gnomoria - This game can be quite hard; it can also be quite
easy - what you make of it is your own. It is a sandbox simulation, where you are given free reign to
design and build your kingdom as you see fit. But you aren't given direct control of your gnomes, oh
no, you can only influence their actions. Fortunately, they want to work - it's up to you to give them
jobs. But each gnome is driven by their own personal desires, for food, rest, and work. When they get
hungry, they'll go eat. When they get tired, they'll go sleep. Pretty neat, eh? It is, until your settlement is
out of beer, and they'd rather haul wood and take naps instead of building that cursed well! It's quite
likely gnomes will die on your watch, and in all honesty, you're likely to have quite a few complete
failures before getting the hang of it. But persevere! It's certainly worth it. And that's the beauty of
Gnomoria, really. You have all these different gnomes, goblins, and monsters, each with their own
needs and desires, all banging against and fighting each other. Your goal is to make it work, and form a
new, functioning society in spite of all that, and you get to watch how it all plays out. Sometimes it's just
as exciting when it all goes spectacularly bad..

Note: This guide is based off of version 0.8.42, updated June 11th. This guide includes the new
crafting system, established in March 2013. (As such, some things may be incorrect, or lack foresight
into later game strategy). Also, please keep in mind that this is a game currently in development. This
means there are bugs, you will find them, and it is entirely possible (though rare) that you will lose your
entire game save. This is an accepted fact of game testing, and when bad things happen, you need to
take it stride. File a bug report as needed, take a break, then roll up your sleeves and start again,
knowing that each update makes the game better.

Gnomoria will generate for you. Generally, the farther right a slider is, the "harder" the map will be for
you to develop on. I suggest sliding these to the left, to produce a flatter map to get started on. Hit

not a lot of water). You can also change the numerical Kingdom Seed to make a different map. You

Also of note, I like to set my auto-save to every 1 day (via the Gameplay menu), in case of bugs/errors.
If you save more often, you'll lose less work when accidents happen..
Breaking Ground!
Alright, let's dive in! First, find a large section of dirt you can dig into. You can either Mine right into the
side of the mountain like I did, or Dig a Ramp into the ground first. Be sure to watch out for water, if
you open the lake into the ground, you're likely to flood your settlement! A good area to start with would
be an ~ 15x15 area - this gives us room to line the cavern with workshops, and gives us a large area
for a storeroom.
After you've set up your first mining job, it's time to start chopping wood and foraging for food - the
supplies your gnomes brought along won't last forever. In addition to this, we also want to consider a
wall to keep the baddies out, but we need to clear the area first, so let's kill two birds with one stone,
and start by clearing the woods and shrubs from all sides of the map. I like to go 3 squares in. If your
map has a lot of tree or shrubs on the outside of your map, I'd suggest marking trees to chop down in
small groups, so as not to overwhelm your gnomes.
Finally, Designate an Area for your yaks, and build a Pasture. 1 yak takes 6 pasture squares, so I like
to make my pastures 6x6 (this fits 6 yaks). When navigating this menu, be aware that back/x (close)
will keep your settings.
At this point, everyone should have a job... hit Space to unpause the game, and watch your gnomes
go! Or, more likely, watch the game save, and pause the game again! Hit Space after it's done saving
to start the game again.

Use the land to your advantage. If you aren't building on a flat map, use the surrounding terrain.
Enemies (and gnomes) can't "jump", and are limited to using stairs and ramps. They also can't breathe
underwater, though they can move in and out of it if there is a ramp. Use Remove Ramps to create cliff
walls, so enemy movement is limited. Look for, or build, choke points to control your enemy movement.
A Training Grounds with a Military Squad training in it (yes, at all times) makes for a good guard point
if it is built in your entranceway, so that enemies have to pass through it to get to your Civilian gnomes.
Also make use of the Guard Area designation, to create stationary guard points, or Patrol Routes for
mobile ones.

Comments
When you assign tasks for gnomes, the task goes into an internal lists of tasks, which is filtered to
gnomes based on their assigned jobs. When you start out, you don't need to worry about what job
each gnome is assigned to, just be aware each gnome currently has a job, based on their internal
skills. In order to complete a job, a gnome will need to appropriate skills, job, and materials. You will
need to make sure that your wood, ore, coal and stones stocks are well supplied, through tasks you set
up, as your gnomes won't dig without your instruction. If your gnomes seem to be idling a lot, check
you stocks, that's the first (of many) possible problems.
With the new Crafting update, when you request a building or item to be made, the game checks and
see what materials it needs, what's already made, and what needs to be made, and then queues that
all up automagically. This is helpful in getting your production going, but can cause frustrating delays in
production. You can turn this option off, but I encourage you to leave it on for now, and learn how it
works. It's easy to "short-circuit" the built in production queues if you are prepared, and your
preparation with the queue system will make things go smoother as you go. I'll point out the things I
like to do to help grease the wheels a bit, as we go.

Comments
I also like to build a separate area for a food stockpile.
You can also set the priority of your stockpiles in these menus - the lower the number, the more often
gnomes will stock that stockpile. It's best to keep these numbers above 4, as to not screw with the
gnome priority lists too much, and end up with too much haulin', and not enough buildin'.
After you have your first stockpile set, it's time to build our first building, the Crude Workbench. This
building requires a log, and a raw stone, so you should have these sitting about somewhere. Drop the
building next to your stockpile, and your gnomes will find the log and rock, and get started. If it takes
them too long to start building the workshop, you may have set up too many wall sections for your
builders. You'll notice the workshop turn green when someone is interacting with it. This workshop will
turn logs into planks, planks into chairs and workbenches, and stone into chisels. While you're
waiting, start farming.
Farming Farms
While waiting for your workshop to be built, look for areas that you can set up for easy farming, and
start clearing those areas of shrubs and removing trees. You'll also need to remove clay (the dark
patches of ground) by using the Terrain > Replace Floor action, making sure you use "dirt clumps",
and not "clay clumps". Once you have an area cleared, Designate Area > Farm, and set your first
farm to strawberries. Build another for wheat. Be sure to leave room for cotton, but we won't need
that just yet. Don't make your farms too big, or else you'll overwhelm your farmers, who have other
work to do too. I also like to move my pastures by my farms, so I'll set that up now.
After that, look at areas good for tree groves. We'll want a lot of birch and apples, one for fancy tables,
the other for fancy wine. Key things to do here now would be to replace clay plots, and removing more
scrubs. Any pines can be cut down or, alternately be clipped then cut, birch trees should have Take
Clipping assigned before being chopped down, and apple trees should avoid being chopped down at
all costs, as their fruit is quite valuable for food and drink (but do take clippings as needed).
Remember to keep your wall development going as well, this is important! After you've gotten all your
dirt "sections" up, it's time to start building the wall. I like to build this in sections as well, just one
square in.

handy for apple groves, where you can turn off Fell Trees, so they produce more apples quicker. When
your woodsgnomes don't have a better task to handle, they will work in the grove, first planting trees,
then taking saplings, and finally cutting down trees, and again replanting. This will enable you to keep a
stock of wood on hand.
While these things are happening, don't forget about your wall either! Be sure to continuing queuing
build jobs until your wall goes completely around your map.
By now you should have some wheat growing in your farms. Carve out some space underground, (an
area for 4-8 beds is good) and Designate Area as a Dormitory. Place some straw beds in there, and
your gnomes will start sleeping in beds, which will improve their demeanor all around.
Catching Up
By now, you should have your stonecutter and stonemason ready to go, your wall built around your
map, and your groves and farms started.
Now we are going to need a sawblade from the Stonemason, but if you have enough stone and
blocks, consider making a few tables, chairs, and doors as well. After the Stonemason is done, Build
a Sawmill (1 workbench, 1 chair and 1 sawblade), and Carpenter (1 workbench, 1 chair and 1 chisel).
You'll notice we've been queuing these buildings one at a time - this helps the gnomes to not get
overwhelmed, and do odd things, like try and build multiple building at the same time, while stealing
materials from each other!

While these buildings are going up, you'll want to carve out a space for your Great Hall. This is a
special Dining Room, that your gnomes will hang out in, as well as encourage new Gnomads to come
join your settlement. As you progress, you'll want to decorate your Great Hall with statues, pillars,
tables and chairs. The better the quality of the items, the more your Great Hall will be worth, and the
more attractive it is to Gnomads. But be careful! it also makes you more attractive to various
marauders..

After your Sawmill is running, you can deconstruct your Crude Workbench, as it the Stonemason,
Stonecutter, Sawmill, and Carpenter replace what the Crude Workbench makes, and a lot faster at
that. Remove it so your gnomes don't go to that workshop when they are trying to build.
Now we need to find a spot for the Well. This is an important last resort for drinks, as your gnomes will
go to the well if they are thirsty and nothing else is available. You'll need 4 planks, and 4 blocks to build
it, and it needs to be directly over water. If you see these pale gray outlines, you are too far above the
area you are trying to put the well.
If your stockpiles are getting full, you can Build > Storage and place crates, barrels, and bags into
your stockpiles, in order to store even more items in a square. Generally, hard objects like food, wood,
and blocks are stored in crates, liquids like milk and beer are stored in barrels, and cotton and seeds
are stored in bags. Ore and Stone are stored in piles of 64, on the ground. Placing these containers will
queue up jobs if you don't have any built already, and will allow you to store 64 items in one square.
Handy!

We're are starting to get a handle on our settlement, and the season is about to change, but we've got
even more workshops to talk about. These buildings are important, but the order you build them is up
to you. I'd suggest building a Merchant Stall first, so you can buy anything you are lacking from the
merchant.

Comments
ions: You can give individual gnomes specific job tasks, as well as a profession,
but I find this makes keeping track of your gnome skills a bit harder. Rather, I prefer to change the
profession as a whole, which you can see in the Population > Profession tab. You can also set up new
professions here. This early in the game however, there is little need to vary outside the stock jobs, so
don't worry about it too much.
Now that your new gnomes have new professions, we need to start thinking about where these guys
are going to sleep, because all this floor sleeping just won't do. Hopefully you are building some beds
at your Carpenter (and Tailor). Once you have time and space for it, you'll want to start giving them
Personal Quarters, so they can sleep in their own rooms. Sleeping in a bed will give a gnome far
more energy than sleeping on the floor, and sleeping in a well appointed bedroom is even better.

Once the first merchant has arrived, let him in as you did your gnomes, and wait for him to get set up in
your Merchant Stall. Right click your Merchant Stall to bring up the trading menu. You probably won't
have too much to trade with the merchant just yet, but trade what you can, and make sure your trade
values match. You don't want to give the merchant more than you get!

You Did What?! Why Are You Doing That?!
Sometimes it seems you've been saddled with a group of mouth-breathing inbred gnomes who could
drown in a foot of water. While that's entirely true, it's also likely you haven't considered the Chain O'
Command each gnome follows.
From the wiki, here is the order gnomes will do things, or priority (remember, a lower number priority
makes that task more important)
