You need an axe to fell a tree. You chop with [g]et/ground. Build menu is [b], IIRC. You need to be away from other sites. You designate everything, confirm, then you and any companions build everything out of nearby lumber. You can put priorities on the designations so things are built in a specific order.

You can only build out of wood, and you can't dig.

Thanks!  I wish you could mine/dig...but on the bright side, I can throw away that Iron Pick I've been lugging around everywhere :)

How do you build stuff?  Fell trees, get lumber, build walls, floors, roofs, doors, etc?  Also, is it possible to mine using a pick in adventure mode?

Thanks for the replies!  I guess I'll have to remember this for my next (and hopefully more long-lived) adventurer.   :)

I'm new to DF.

Short summary of my experience thus far:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now, on my most recent adventure, I got a dwarf spearman and a human swordsman to join me as companions.  (Yes, I used companions on my previous attempts).  Krogan, the dwarf spearman, often mentioned getting into arguments with the swordsman (don't remember his name), but I never thought much of it.  I suppose I should have thought more about the implications.

While traveling through a town, trying to reach the tavern before dark, Krogan began attacking the swordsman!  I was greatly distressed by the possibility of losing one of my companions...but couldn't do anything to stop the fight.  I could only stand and watch as the swordsman's teeth went flying across the street.  The swordsman never did more to Krogan than to rip some skin on his neck...while the swordsman sustained a ridiculous amount of damage before succumbing to death by suffocation (not quite sure how...did he drown in his pool of blood)?

Anyway, I suppose the point of this post is to ask... is there any way to prevent this from happening again, or to stop the fight before it escalates?
