I highly recommend the tutorial Anaris posted early in the thread. Make sure you download the game archive they link to. It provides a complete copy of the game as well as a save game you can use. The step by step instruction they provide are great. It is literally impossible to comprehend this game without a detailed, step-by-step tutorial.
For reference:

The title for the first two lessons are:
Part 1: “WTF?”
Part 2: “No, srsly, WTF?!”
They are very very helpful, but my only problem is that when Im mining to build my fortress the tunnels and rooms are all filled with rocks, I don't know how to remove them so I can plant farms and stuff in there. Captain Duck also doesn't explain it in his videos so far and I can't really go on without help with this problem.
