:''This article is about exploring rock layers while digging through them; if you're looking for tips for exploring already-discovered [[caverns]], check [[Caverns#Methods of Exploration]]''

Once you've had enough [[Losing|fun]] to have a basic fortress working, it becomes necessary to dig down in search of ores, gems, water, etc. '''Exploratory mining''' attempts to dig out as little as possible, in order to see as much as possible, using clever digging patterns.

{{Quality|Superior}}

== Goals ==
The main goal of exploratory mining is to find something which lies in the stone layers, be they raw materials such as [[Ore|ores]], [[gems]] and other [[Stone#Other_Stone|useful stones]], or special features such as [[caverns]] and [[magma]]. A secondary goal for exploratory mining is to increase the count of visible subterranean tiles, which is one cap on the eligibility for [[strange mood]]s.
While minerals are quite common, reducing the need for extensive exploratory mining, one might still want to search for rare gems, some of which appear in small or even single-tile clusters.
Another might want access to the [[caverns]] as soon and as easily as possible, for instance to get access to subterranean [[water]] or to set up an underground [[Tree_farming|tree farm]].

Either way, applying a good exploratory mining method will ensure you will find what you want as soon as possible, and without missing anything.

== Dangers ==
Potential dangers include:
*Hostile creatures which inhabit underground areas
*Large pools of liquid ([[water]], [[magma]])
*[[Hidden Fun Stuff|Fun]]
*[[FPS]] death from pathing and item count

==Strategies==
All of the interesting stuff is below you when you start - digging straight down may be the fastest (though not the safest) way to find points of interest.

Those interested in *safely* exploring the depths may wish to create a level every so often where the stairway is broken so you can create barriers (like doors or lever-controlled floodgates) or garrison military squads to deal with any discovered hostiles.

It is also recommended to isolate your exploratory mines from your fortress proper, to allow the mines to be closed off and removed from pathing calculations.

== Exploratory Patterns ==

Patterns are represented by a unit tile. This unit tile is repeated throughout the area intended for excavation to create the desired pattern. Each pattern is analyzed with the above factors in mind. Note that single-floor patterns can be enhanced to explore one additional z-level by replacing mining designations with either channel or ramp designations; doing so effectively doubles their efficiency. Designating "down stairs" instead will reveal one additional tile directly below each tile mined.

=== Hollow ===
All tiles are excavated.

* ''Labor'': 100% of the tiles are excavated.
* ''Target'': Any size. If it exists in the layer, it will be found.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%''' of the tiles are visible, obviously.
* ''Reusability'': Approaches zero, except for mass storage. Any design other than a large hall requires reconstruction.
* ''Bottom line'': Easy to designate, but miners tend to be a bit chaotic in their approach to the task. Hollowing wastes labor like there's no tomorrow, but integrates extraction into the exploratory mining process. Use only if you have a lot of labor to spare, or need huge amounts of stone and don't mind the reconstruction required to make the hollow area habitable. Some research has shown that large open areas are particularly costly for pathing calculations.

* ''Enhancement'': Hollow with "down stairs" designations and the entire level below will be revealed but untouched. This can allow you to plan your layout to take best advantage of the ores and clusters to create high-value rooms.

=== Rows ===
{|
|-
|
[[File:Exploratory-mining-row-pattern-horizontal.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: horizontal row pattern]]
|
* ''Labor'': 1 per every 3 tiles (~33%) of the tiles are excavated.
* ''Target'': Any size. Clusters as small as a single tile are revealed.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%'''.
* ''Reusability'': Very low. The long corridors aren't very useful, and can only be expanded to long, wide corridors, but can be made into plenty of 3x3 rooms with the right use of walls.
* ''Bottom line'': Easy to designate, and a single miner will focus on one tunnel to the end or they take a [[break]]. This method achieves the same visibility as hollowing out, but using a mere third of the labor. Ideal for hunting single-tile gems. As an added bonus, it is more efficient than a 3×3 design.

Larger "tunnel" patterns are suggested to be dug in multiples of "3" to allow for later complete revealing with minimum effort.

=== Ladder Rows ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: none; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-row-pattern-ladder.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: ladder row pattern]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 25% of the tiles are excavated (1 in 4).
* ''Target'': Any size. Clusters as small as a single tile are revealed.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%'''.
* ''Reusability'': Moderate. Alternating corridors can be mined out to create 5 tile wide rooms of any length... if the extra doors aren't a concern.
* ''Bottom line'': A little more tedious to designate, but the increased re-usability and efficiency make this an attractive alternative.
* ''Note'': The [[Utility:DFHack|dfhack]] command 'digexp ladder' will automatically apply this pattern. 

=== Diagonal every 5 ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: none; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-row-pattern-diagonal-every-5.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: diagonal rows every 5 tiles]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 20% of the tiles are excavated (1 per 5).
* ''Target'': Any size. Clusters as small as a single tile are revealed.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%'''.
* ''Reusability'': With a bit of imagination you can build nice 3x3 rooms
* ''Bottom line'': This method is the most efficient single-level pattern with 100% visibility. This one doesn't use other levels to move from one spot to another but is annoying to designate manually.
* ''Note'': The [[Utility:DFHack|dfhack]] command 'digexp diag5' will automatically apply this pattern.

A variation would put diagonals every 10 or 20, laying the groundwork to fill them in later for higher visibility if desired.
<div style="clear: left"></div>

=== Mine shafts, grid of every 3 tiles ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: none; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Mineshafts-3x3.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: mineshafts every 3 tiles]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 11.1% of the tiles are excavated (1/9).
* ''Target'': Any size. Clusters as small as a single tile are revealed.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%'''.
* ''Reusability'': It's easy to make into square rooms of various sizes, the stairways can be removed and used as doorways, or just carved out as part of the rooms.
* ''Bottom line'': You'll need to clear part of one layer to get the shafts started up or down (use one of the other methods to cover the area), but for one shaft at a time this method is, tile for tile, the most efficient for those with 100% visibility, and has a great reuse value. In practice, however, if you have more than one shaft being dug at one time, up/down-mining can cause miners to jump around between shafts, wasting time.

:It takes a lot of key pressing to designate, although you can save some effort by designating every third row across the entire width and height of the area to be excavated and then removing the designations ({{Menu icon|x}}) on all but every third column.

For a discussion on optimizing dig times with mineshafts, see [[v0.31:Mineshaft stitching|mineshaft stitching]].

=== Diagonal ramps ===

The pattern as shown is 1 up-ramp every 7 tiles vertically, or 1/14 horizontally, though this could be turned 90 degrees. The downramps are shown as empty space, but are only designated as up ramps on the level below. This pattern can also use channel designations in place of ramps to mine in a downward direction. (Be ''sure'' you know how [[ramp]]s work before trying this one!)

<div style="float: left; overflow: none; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-mineshaft-pattern-diagonal-ramps.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: diagonal ramps pattern, every 14 tiles in one direction and every 7 tiles in other direction]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 7.1% of the tiles are designated to dig (1/14), but 14.3% are excavated (1/7).
* ''Target'': Any size. Clusters as small as a single tile are revealed.
* ''Visibility'': '''100%'''.
* ''Reusability'': Moderate. 3x3 spaces cannot be created until at least one up-ramp is removed or a down-ramp floored over. [[Ramp]]s are less convenient than stairs for many purposes (for example, digging out the wrong tiles around a ramp can make it unusable).
* ''Bottom line'': Combines the advantages of diagonal and vertical digging, along with the benefit of ramps and channels excavating two tiles at the same time. The most efficient method of all, but difficult to designate and somewhat inconvenient (especially around the edges of the map). Awkward to stitch together. 

=== 3×3 blocks ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: auto; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-block-pattern-3x3.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: 3x3 block pattern]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 7/16 (~44%) of the tiles are excavated.
* ''Target'': Veins and clusters (except for single-tile)
* ''Visibility'': 15/16 (~94%) of the tiles are visible.
* ''Reusability'': Amusingly low, but it can be converted into a grid of connected 3×3 to 5×5 rooms, if you center each room on a crossroad. Probably best used as a targeted followup to the 7x7 block pattern shown below.
* ''Bottom line'': High-labor method, second only to hollowing out a region. Comparatively inefficient way to find clusters and veins. Easy to designate, but uses a great deal of mining time.
<div style="clear: left"></div>

=== 7×7 blocks ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: auto; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-block-pattern-7x7.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: 7x7 block pattern ]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 15/64 (~23%) of the tiles are excavated.
* ''Target'': Veins and up, as the large 5X5 space left in each unit tile can easily conceal a small cluster. Small clusters will be found perhaps half the time.
* ''Visibility'': 39/64 (~61%) of the tiles are visible.
* ''Reusability'': Medium. The 7×7 blocks can easily be converted into 5×5 rooms, suitable for individual rooms, storage or workshops. Optionally, it can be converted into a grid of connected 7×7 rooms, if you center each room on a crossroad; or similarly into a grid of 3x3 rooms, good for workshops, etc. Easily converted into a more thorough 3×3 block patten by digging through the large blocks.
* ''Bottom line'': This is a low-labor method great for vein-hunting. The low labor cost puts you in a position to invest more and get better coverage if desired.

If you think you may wish to later use the "rows" method (above) for 100% visibility, this could be based on a spacing of 6, 9, or 12. Wider spacing starts to risk missing even veins. 

=== 15×15 blocks ===
<div style="float: left; overflow: none; padding-right: 2em;">
[[File:Exploratory-mining-block-pattern-15x15.png|thumb|Exploratory mining example: 15x15 block pattern]]
</div>
* ''Labor'': 31/256 (~12%) of the tiles are excavated.
* ''Target'': Large clusters are guaranteed, and unless you have particularly bad luck you should also find all veins, but there is no guarantee. Veins would only rarely be hidden in the large 13×13 space left. The large 13×13 space left in each unit tile can easily conceal quite a lot.
* ''Visibility'': 87/256 (34%) of the tiles are visible.
* ''Reusability'': High. A 15×15 block of solid rock is extremely versatile when it comes to interior design. It's easily converted into a 7×7 block design, which may be further converted into a 3×3 block design.
* ''Bottom line'': This method is preferable when you are low on labor. It can easily accommodate parts of your fort, or serve as the precursor for a more thorough search. A 12×12 or 18×18 version are also valid options, with obvious (dis)advantages. 

=== Mine Shafts on a 6-, 9-, 12-, or 15-grid ===
<gallery>
Exploratory-mining-mineshafts-6x6.png|Exploratory mining example: mineshafts every 6 tiles
Exploratory-mining-mineshafts-9x9.png|Exploratory mining example: mineshafts every 9 tiles

Exploratory-mining-mineshafts-15x15.png|Exploratory mining example: mineshafts every 15 tiles
</gallery>
* ''Labor'': from under 3% (1/36) for the 6-grid to less than 0.5% for the 15-grid (1/225).
* ''Target'': Large clusters and up (as above) and underground features.
* ''Visibility'': from 25% for the 6-grid to 4% for the 15-grid.
* ''Reusability'': High. Any area often needs a set of stairs (or more than one) leading up/down, and these would be the start of them.
* ''Bottom line'': This method should be used when you are looking for [[caverns]], or getting a feel for the various rock layers, or just hoping to get lucky with little effort. Grids larger than 15 may start to miss even large features such as large clusters, but can be used for identifying stone layers, and can always be filled back in later with shafts on a tighter grid.

With any grid pattern, a (much) wider version could be used to start and to locate specific stone layers/areas, and then filled in later in a tighter pattern where you want if you're not lucky the first pass. If you plan to use the 3-grid pattern (for a 100% tile reveal) later, create your grid with intervals that are a multiple of "3". If you are only looking for veins, features or just don't care, then do as you will and play it by ear later. 

== Mountain Top Removal Excavation ==
When the fortress is large enough, nearly every dwarf is standing idle, you have plenty of picks, and just want to mine it all ([[Elf|Environmentalist Hippies]] can go to HFS!), complete excavation may be in order. The risk of cave-in or stranded dwarves prevents simply designating an entire mountain Channel, but mining the whole thing can be done with minimum player effort.

* Designate up-down stairs on the entire area to excavate, on every z-level. Designate the lowest level up-stairs, and leave a single tile one z-level above undesignated.
* Let the dwarves mine it.
* If any walls are attached to the outermost edge of the excavation area, designate all of the edge stairs Channel to remove them (dwarves will mine them from the neighboring stairs).
* Designate the lowest z-level for Remove Up Stairs. Leave one to prevent cave-in!
* Build a support under the unmined tile (remember step #1?). Remove the last up stair, once everyone is out of the stairs above.
* Link a lever far away, keep away all the <strike>suicidal idiots</strike> dwarves and pull it.

After a long wait, the entire block of stairs will collapse, leaving the entire area safely excavated. The lever can now be removed, and all goodies from an entire mountain can be collected.

Note that, by exposing the mined tiles to sunlight, they no longer count towards the cap for [[strange mood]]s.

== Cavern Discovery ==

Each 48x48 embark tile has its own patch of cavern floor, and this patch is most easily discovered by digging through the middle of the embark tile. Dig a vertical shaft 24 tiles diagonally in from the corner of your embark, and repeat as necessary for each corner of the embark. A 2x2 site will be completely covered by these four shafts, and a 3x3 site will require five more shafts (i.e. a total of nine) to explore every embark tile.

A default worldgen will create a mixture of large and small cavern spaces, and these spaces may be either open or filled with rock columns. Small spaces can be missed entirely by a 1x1 shaft, and rock-filled ones can have their stone needles deftly threaded by your miners.

{{Quality|Exceptional}}

[[File:pathing_preview.png|right]]'''Pathing''' is a videogame concept that refers to the path the AI selected to route from point A to B. It has important implications for [[workshop design|fortress design]], [[security design]] and [[framerate]] management.

== Basic movement ==
Creatures can move in the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), and four diagonal directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest), as long as the target space is not blocked. This means creatures can path through diagonal gaps on the same Z-level. For example, this rat (<tt>r</tt>) can reach the cheese (<tt>%</tt>):

<diagram>
r░
░%
</diagram>

Creatures can move directly up or down, as long as the target space is not blocked and the movement is possible (via flying, climbing, swimming, stairs, etc.). Creatures can move diagonally across Z-levels only when both lateral and vertical movement are simultaneously possible (e.g., when using a ramp), with one exception[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144364.msg5705256#msg5705256] (see below). For example, this giant sparrow (<tt>S</tt>) can not attack the cat (<tt>c</tt>):

=== Exception for diagonal movement between Z levels ===

Diagonal movement between Z-levels is possible when the floor is missing from the space above the wall, which would otherwise block movement. Flying and swimming creatures can pass through the gap caused by the missing floor. Common causes for a missing floor include building an up-down or down stair (without the matching up staircase below it), or constructing a wall underneath tree branches.[http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=7130#c26072] For example, this giant sparrow ''can'' attack the cat, because the down stairs (<tt>></tt>) on level 2 has removed the floor, creating a hidden gap:

== Path finding method ==
''Dwarf Fortress'' uses a modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm A* search algorithm] ([http://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/ a nice demo]) ([http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131954/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=8 confirmation]), which quickly calculates a decent path between points. The A* method takes point A and tries to quickly calculate a decent path to reach point B. This path is not always the quickest path - in fact, in a game with as complicated and ever-changing an environment as ''Dwarf Fortress'', pathing probably rarely chooses the quickest path. The purpose and utility of the algorithm is to find a useful path without using a lot of processing space, balancing speed and computability.

Choosing the nearest raw materials uses the shortcut of checking the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_distance distance] from the [[dwarf]]'s current position, rather than an actual search. Thus, when constructing things, the valid materials list will be ordered from nearest to farthest; this, however, ignores any walls or obstacles in the way. An important part of fortress design is to be as open as possible, as more doorways will result in quicker paths (and thus better performance) as well as avoiding the hurdles of cross-map walks to find something the metric says is a short distance away. Workshops automatically path to the nearest valid raw materials; building things allows you to choose what to grab.

== Applications ==

For workshop jobs, the closest available valid material is used for the job. The simplest way to use pathing to your advantage is to surround a workshop with a stockpile accepting only specific raw materials that you want it to be using. While this is usually better handled by using linked stockpiles, it remains useful when trying to understand why, instead of decorating some beds in your furniture stockpile, your [[gem setter]] decides to fancify some commoners' [[coffin]]s in the next-door [[mason's workshop]].

The way pathing is handled should influence the way you design your fortress. An important part of fortress design is to be as open as possible, as more doorways will result in quicker paths (and thus better performance) as well as avoiding the hurdles of cross-map walks to find something the metric says is a short distance away.

[[File:Pathing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Applications of pathing (aka pathing abuse). Note that they do see every path, so if the green bottom bridge is raised, they will take the caravan entrance instead.]]
Implications in security design are a bit more thorough. Hostile creatures and dwarves running errands are able to consider the entire map when making pathing choices, and their A* pathfinding will mean that they will always take the shortest route, if there is a choice. This is a point separating trading [[caravan]]s, which path to your [[trade depot]], from [[goblin]] [[siege]]s, which look for the shortest path in instead. One clever exploit of this behavior is demonstrated at right; caravans will always take the winding, clean-top path, because that is where the trading post is, while incoming enemies will prefer the shorter, trapped bottom entrance.

===Doing the Calculation===
Each tile will have a value, this value is in some way based on how close it brings us to the item and that tile's [[traffic|traffic value]]. Thus the procedure is something like this:
# First, we check all the tiles next to the target and mark their values.
# From there, repeatedly check all accessible tiles from the target until we reach the dwarf.
# From the dwarf, pick recursively the tiles with the lowest value, and you have a path.
#Now the dwarf will follow this path to get to the target.

Things that are wandering (Animals, wandering invaders) may use a combination of the above method with some random movement. For jobs that require chasing a moving thing, this procedure may be done over and over, or a different algorithm may be used.

Additionally, the following variations have been suggested, but nothing is certain:
*Dwarves may remember paths that have worked before and try them before anything else.
*Inaccessible items may be invisibly considered forbidden for a certain amount of time after a dwarf discovers it is inaccessible, and therefore not considered in pathing.

===Optimizations===
To improve pathing speed and performance:
*Keep small stockpiles immediately next to workshops. This means Urist McCrafter doesn't have to do very much pathing to find his rocks (though it may cause Urist McHauler to do even more pathing).
*Keep Haulers near places where things will need to be moved from (excess stockpiles, mines, butcher's shops or other shops that have a high item yield).
*Make it easy to get in and out of the areas where workshops are.
*Staircases in rooms instead of in central areas should greatly improve pathing speeds.
*Applying traffic costs properly will greatly increase the speed of finding paths. Make corners of rooms higher cost and the center of major hallways and rooms with stockpiles and workshops lower cost. More on [[traffic]].

===Splitted One-way===
It's not possible to create areas path-able in one way only (though it was [[40d:One-way|in 0.28]], by exploiting a bug). However, it's possible to create a strong preference for pathing differently in different directions. A* algorithm in itself is asymmetrical, which suggests that bias in its priorities at least sometimes can be exploited to split traffic by direction. Consider this floor diagram:
{{diagram|spaces=yes|\
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
░RR++++++++HH░ ░ →→→→→→→→→→ ░
++░░░░░░░░░░++ ↔┤░░░░░░░░░░├↔
░HH++++++++RR░ ░ ←←←←←←←←←← ░
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

░ : wall
+ : floor - normal traffic
H : floor - High traffic
R : floor - Restricted traffic
}}
If this fragment is set up between a closed cave and outside, dwarves will always choose to pass through it via the left corridor, even if that corridor is farther both from the dwarf's original location and destination. Since A* is "best-first", i.e. strongly prioritizes lower path cost in the immediate vicinity, we may guess that DF calculates path ''from'' the destination to the creature. (This seems more efficient if creatures more often need to path from open space ''into'' a dead-end or maze than vice versa, or the destination is cut off from open space more often than the creature.)

This isn't foolproof (e.g. pets ignore traffic designations and dorfs don't path ''through'' it from end to end when picking up something ''within'' it), or even too useful in itself (you need alternate paths to be very close - enough that the immediate traffic cost matters much more than difference in distance), but it does allow to e.g. make assumptions as to whether a dwarf arrives or leaves for [[pressure plate]] automation purpose, without forcing path retries (and attendant CPU load) inherent in "suddenly closed door"/"suddenly opened hatch" technique (even if you need a strict one-way, these methods can be combined, to make path retry an exception rather than rule).

The longer the space between entrance and exit (left and right in the diagram) of the two one-way-floors, the more likely dwarves will stick to the desired side even obstacles like animals and dwarves are in their way. Of course, there will be fewer actual collisions than predicted if everyone moves in the same direction.

'''Warning:''' Using Restricted traffic on floors dwarves have to pass — like the entrance of a fortress - leads to high pathing costs (and thus potentially FPS drop) because of searching for alternative routes!{{verify}}

If you want to use this, keep those (path-through) restricted areas as small as possible. On the other side, the higher the restricted costs, the more likely dwarves stick to the correct site. The same is true for longer tunnels. And the longer the tunnel, the less additional pathing will be done. If the tunnel is at least as long as the costs of the restricted area, you don't have to bother additional costs. So, this should only be used for long tunnels. Never use it to control traffic inside your fort between rooms unless you restrict most of your fort's area!

==Other dwarves==
It is possible for entities such as dwarves to walk over each other when necessary. However, moving over occupied tiles in this manner is much slower, and dwarves will try to path so that they can avoid it. This introduces an important consideration to fortress design.

If you have a long, 1-tile wide corridor which already has a dwarf moving through it, other dwarves who need to get from one side of the corridor to the other will try to avoid colliding with that dwarf, by pathing elsewhere. If it so happens that the corridor is long, and there are no nearby alternative routes, this may cause a very significant increase in pathfinding burden.

For this reason, it's best to make high-traffic routes at least 2 tiles wide, and avoid single doors and single stairs. This ensures that when a dwarf tries to find a detour around another dwarf in his way, he will be able to do so easily and without modifying his current path much.

== Implications ==
''Dwarf Fortress'' uses a modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm A* search algorithm] ([http://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/ a nice demo]) ([http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131954/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=8 confirmation]), which quickly calculates a decent path between points. The A* method takes point A and tries to quickly calculate a decent path to reach point B. This path is not always the quickest path - in fact, in a game with as complicated and ever-changing an environment as ''Dwarf Fortress'', pathing probably rarely chooses the quickest path. The purpose and utility of the algorithm is to find a useful path without using a lot of processing space, balancing speed and computability.

Pathing to raw materials uses the so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_metric Manhattan metric]: meaning the material is checked by distance from the [[dwarf]]'s current position, rather than by an actual search. Thus, when constructing things, the valid materials list will be ordered from nearest to farthest; this, however, ignores any walls or obstacles in the way. An important part of fortress design is to be as open as possible, as more doorways will result in quicker paths (and thus better performance) as well as avoiding the hurdles of cross-map walks to find something the metric says is a short distance away. Workshops automatically path to the nearest valid raw materials; building things allows you to choose what to grab.

== Applications ==

For workshop jobs, the closest available valid material is used for the job. The simplest way to use pathing to your advantage is to surround a workshop with a stockpile accepting only specific raw materials that you want it to be using. While this is usually better handled by using linked stockpiles, it remains useful when trying to understand why, instead of decorating some beds in your furniture stockpile, your [[gem setter]] decides to fancify some commoners' [[coffin]]s in the next-door [[mason's workshop]].

The way pathing is handled should influence the way you design your fortress. An important part of fortress design is to be as open as possible, as more doorways will result in quicker paths (and thus better performance) as well as avoiding the hurdles of cross-map walks to find something the metric says is a short distance away.

[[File:Pathing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Applications of pathing (aka pathing abuse). Note that they do see every path, so if the green bottom bridge is raised, they will take the caravan entrance instead.]]
Implications in security design are a bit more thorough. Hostile creatures and dwarves running errands are able to consider the entire map when making pathing choices, and their A* pathfinding will mean that they will always take the shortest route, if there is a choice. This is a point separating trading [[caravan]]s, which path to your [[trade depot]], from [[goblin]] [[siege]]s, which look for the shortest path in instead. One clever exploit of this behavior is demonstrated at right; caravans will always take the winding, clean-top path, because that is where the trading post is, while incoming enemies will prefer the shorter, trapped bottom entrance.

===Doing the Calculation===
Each tile will have a value, this value is in some way based on how close it brings us to the item and that tile's [[traffic|traffic value]]. Thus the procedure is something like this:
# First, we check all the tiles next to the target and mark their values.
# From there, repeatedly check all accessible tiles from the target until we reach the dwarf.
# From the dwarf, pick recursively the tiles with the lowest value, and you have a path.
#Now the dwarf will follow this path to get to the target.

Things that are wandering (Animals, wandering invaders) may use a combination of the above method with some random movement. For jobs that require chasing a moving thing, this procedure may be done over and over, or a different algorithm may be used.

Additionally, the following variations have been suggested, but nothing is certain:
*Dwarves may remember paths that have worked before and try them before anything else.
*Inaccessible items may be invisibly considered forbidden for a certain amount of time after a dwarf discovers it is inaccessible, and therefore not considered in pathing.

===Optimizations===
To improve pathing speed and performance:
*Keep small stockpiles immediately next to workshops. This means Urist McCrafter doesn't have to do very much pathing to find his rocks (though it may cause Urist McHauler to do even more pathing).
*Keep Haulers near places where things will need to be moved from (excess stockpiles, mines, butcher's shops or other shops that have a high item yield).
*Make it easy to get in and out of the areas where workshops are.
*Staircases in rooms instead of in central areas should greatly improve pathing speeds.
*Applying traffic costs properly will greatly increase the speed of finding paths. Make corners of rooms higher cost and the center of major hallways and rooms with stockpiles and workshops lower cost. More on [[traffic]].

===Splitted One-way===
It's not possible to create areas path-able in one way only (though it was [[40d:One-way|in 0.28]], by exploiting a bug). However, it's possible to create a strong preference for pathing differently in different directions. A* algorithm in itself is asymmetrical, which suggests that bias in its priorities at least sometimes can be exploited to split traffic by direction. Consider this floor diagram:
{{diagram|spaces=yes|\

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

░ : wall
+ : floor - normal traffic
H : floor - High traffic
R : floor - Restricted traffic
}}
If this fragment is set up between a closed cave and outside, dwarves will always choose to pass through it via the left corridor, even if that corridor is farther both from the dwarf's original location and destination. Since A* is "best-first", i.e. strongly prioritizes lower path cost in the immediate vicinity, we may guess that DF calculates path ''from'' the destination to the creature. (This seems more efficient if creatures more often need to path from open space ''into'' a dead-end or maze than vice versa, or the destination is cut off from open space more often than the creature.)

This isn't foolproof (e.g. pets ignore traffic designations and dorfs don't path ''through'' it from end to end when picking up something ''within'' it), or even too useful in itself (you need alternate paths to be very close - enough that the immediate traffic cost matters much more than difference in distance), but it does allow to e.g. make assumptions as to whether a dwarf arrives or leaves for [[pressure plate]] automation purpose, without forcing path retries (and attendant CPU load) inherent in "suddenly closed door"/"suddenly opened hatch" technique (even if you need a strict one-way, these methods can be combined, to make path retry an exception rather than rule).

The longer the space between entrance and exit (left and right in the diagram) of the two one-way-floors, the more likely dwarves will stick to the desired side even obstacles like animals and dwarves are in their way. Of course, there will be fewer actual collisions than predicted if everyone moves in the same direction.

'''Warning:''' Using Restricted traffic on floors dwarves have to pass — like the entrance of a fortress - leads to high pathing costs (and thus potentially FPS drop) because of searching for alternative routes!{{verify}}

If you want to use this, keep those (path-through) restricted areas as small as possible. On the other side, the higher the restricted costs, the more likely dwarves stick to the correct site. The same is true for longer tunnels. And the longer the tunnel, the less additional pathing will be done. If the tunnel is at least as long as the costs of the restricted area, you don't have to bother additional costs. So, this should only be used for long tunnels. Never use it to control traffic inside your fort between rooms unless you restrict most of your fort's area!

==Other dwarves==
It is possible for entities such as dwarves to walk over each other when necessary. However, moving over occupied tiles in this manner is much slower, and dwarves will try to path so that they can avoid it. This introduces an important consideration to fortress design.

If you have a long, 1-tile wide corridor which already has a dwarf moving through it, other dwarves who need to get from one side of the corridor to the other will try to avoid colliding with that dwarf, by pathing elsewhere. If it so happens that the corridor is long, and there are no nearby alternative routes, this may cause a very significant increase in pathfinding burden.

For this reason, it's best to make high-traffic routes at least 2 tiles wide, and avoid single doors and single stairs. This ensures that when a dwarf tries to find a detour around another dwarf in his way, he will be able to do so easily and without modifying his current path much.

[[File:pathing_preview.png|right]]'''Pathing''' is a videogame concept that refers to the path the AI selected to route from point A to B. It has important implications for [[workshop design|fortress design]], [[security design]] and [[framerate]] management.

== Implications ==
''Dwarf Fortress'' uses a modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm A* search algorithm] ([http://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/ a nice demo]) ([http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131954/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=8 confirmation]), which quickly calculates a decent path between points.

Now, this process is better handled by linked stockpiles instead. Nonetheless, it remains useful when trying to understand why, instead of decorating some beds in your furniture stockpile, your [[gem setter]] decides to fancify some commoners' [[coffin]]s in the next-door [[mason's workshop]].

The way pathing is handled should inform the way you design your fortress.

'''Warning:''' Using Restricted traffic on floors dwarves have to pass — like the entrance of a fortress - leads to high pathing costs (and thus potentially FPS drop) because of searching for alternative routes!{{verify}}

If you want to use this, keep those (path-through) restricted areas as small as possible. On the other side, the higher the restricted costs, the more likely dwarves stick to the correct site. The same is true for longer tunnels. And the longer the tunnel, the less additional pathing will be done. If the tunnel is at least as long as the costs of the restricted area, you don't have to bother additional costs. So, this should only be used for long tunnels. Never use it to control traffic inside your fort between rooms unless you restrict most of your fort's area!

ForgottenBeet: Mention that even constructions made of wood or metal are deconstructed using the mining labor

{{migrated article}}
{{Quality|Unrated}}
{{av}}
{{Further information|Mega construction}}
[[File:construction_preview_anim.gif|thumb|198px|right|A dwarf constructing a [[still]].]]'''Constructions''' are buildings such as [[floor]]s, [[wall]]s, and [[stairs]]. They can be made of [[boulder]]s, [[log]]s, [[block]]s, and [[bar]]s of any solid material—including [[wood]], [[stone]], [[metal]], [[glass]], [[clay]], and even [[soap]]—and are accessible in the {{k|b}}uild-{{k|C}}onstruction menu. One exception is the [[Minecart|track stop]], found in the construction submenu even though it is a regular [[building]].

Unlike most objects accessed from the {{k|b}}uild menu, constructions are treated as inert terrain features when completed, with a few limitations as described below. Additionally, constructions can only be interacted with by loo{{k|k}}-ing at them or by pressing {{k|d}}-{{k|n}} to designate their removal. Using the {{k|q}}uery or {{k|t}}ask selection will give no information after the construction is completed, but will allow [[removal]], suspension, and an idea of the current status before the construction is complete.

== Required labors ==

In order to make a construction, a dwarf must have the "Wall/Floor Construction" [[labor]] enabled, found under the "Other Jobs" heading.

The [[mining]] labor is required for removing constructions, regardless of the material the construction is made from.

== Constructions and mines ==

Constructions are similar to [[Mining|mined out formations]]. However, unlike the [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s surrounding [[Mining|mined]] or [[channel]]ed spaces, constructed features cannot be smoothed, or carved into minecart tracks unless blocks are used, though they can be engraved. In order to construct [[smoothing|smooth]] stone [[wall]]s and [[floor]]s, [[block]]s need to be used in place of raw [[stone]]; smooth constructions can be engraved as normal. [[Wood]], [[metal]], and [[glass]] constructions are not considered either rough or smooth, but in the case of wood, building with [[block]]s will increase room value - [[metal]] [[bar]]s have the same value as metal blocks and are thus interchangeable (though blocks may be preferred to simplify resource tracking), and glass can ''only'' be used in block form.

== Order of construction ==

Constructions, when equidistant to dwarf{{Verify}}, are built in a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) order. That means that whichever constructions are ordered first will be built last. Also, if there is a large group of constructions being built, and a new set of constructions is ordered, the constructions in progress will be ignored until the new constructions are finished.

The sole exception to LIFO is if you place a single multi-tile order (by using the {{k|u}}/{{k|k}} keys, to expand the footprint of the construction), as in the case of a long bridge or walkway over a gap or river. Then, that will be built logically, from connected locations out, but it, as a single "order", will be addressed in sequence according to the rules of LIFO.

Respecting the LIFO order is also necessary to efficiently and correctly construct [[Tower (project)|multi-z-level walls]].

==Destruction==
Constructions which have not yet been completed are technically Buildings, which permits them to be toppled by building destroyers. Once they are completed, they become map tiles, which are effectively indestructible. Constructions are generally inert, resisting [[building destroyer]]s, but will be destroyed if [[magma]] and [[water]] can interact in the square of the construction to form [[obsidian]], or in a [[cave-in]]. Building and removing a construction can change the floor it is built upon to a default value, removing things like [[engraving]]s and the "magma flow" floor above [[semi-molten rock]].

==Impact on framerate==
Constructions introduce slowdowns from two angles:
# It has to keep track of the original item (though there is a DFHack plugin which will delete the item and flag the construction as "recreate the item from scratch when you deconstruct it"), which means that general item lookups take slightly longer (it's done via binary search, so you'd only notice significant slowdowns each time the item count in your fortress doubles).
# It has to keep track of what the construction is made of, using a separate structure that needs to be looked up for each constructed tile that is visible on the screen. These also use binary searches, though with three values (X+Y+Z coordinates) instead of just one so they're a little bit slower. Typically, you only get noticeable slowdowns when you're building something on the scale of [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=43679.0 FlareChannel].

{{av}}
[[File:mining_anim_v50.gif|thumb|189px|right|A designated area being mined.]]'''Mining''' is an essential part of building a fort in ''Dwarf Fortress''. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as [[exploratory mining|searching]] for various [[stone|stone types]], [[ore]]s and [[gem]]s, or simply to create the basic tunnels and [[room]]s in your fort. Mining refers to either the [[skill]] that performs mining, the [[labor]] associated with it, or simply the task or job of performing said labor. Military dwarves equipped with picks will use mining as their "[[Combat skill|weapon skill]]." Mining through softer materials such as [[sand]] or [[soil]] is much faster than mining through stone.

There are several types of jobs associated with this skill:
* '''Digging''' removes the section of the wall while preserving both the ceiling (which is the floor of the level above) and the floor.
* '''[[Channel]]ing''' removes the section of the wall, the floor, and if possible places a ramp one level below.
* '''[[Ramp]]s''' replaces the section with a ramp, also removing the tile and floor one level above.
* '''[[Stairs]]''' carves out upward and/or downward stairs.
* '''Remove [[Construction]]''' removes a construction, ie. a built wall, stair, floor, etc.
* '''Remove Stairs/Ramp''' removes a dug-out stairs or ramp.

Mining can only be done in pre-existing stone or soil. NOTE: Constructed [[wall]]s, [[stairs]] or [[ramp]]s are not dug and instead must be removed using the 'Remove Construction' option ({{K|m}}, {{K|x}}). This uses the mining skill to be completed, regardless of the material the construction is made from.

When discovering a unique stone, gem or ore, the game will display an annoucement that looks like the following: 
{{DFtext|You have struck saltpeter!|6:1}}

==Understanding digging==
[[Image:DF2014_Terraform.png|thumb|664px|
Side view of various mining tasks.
 
Gray/black areas represent un-mined rock, cyan/black represents mined-out areas. Solid green represents existing floor "tiles", cyan represents mined-out floor tiles. Up stairs, down stairs, and ramps are red, blue, and mustard (yellow) respectively.
 
In each of the 9 "digging" scenarios, the dwarf miner is shown as having completed the command(s) listed in that figure, moving from left to right. Each individual command is separated by a comma ",". (The "x2" notation indicates that the command is completed twice.) The dwarf has completed those commands in the order they are listed. For example, in the bottom right figure: "Down stairs, up/down stairs, up stairs, mine x2" is five separate commands.
]]
Each layer in the three-dimensional ''Dwarf Fortress'' map consists of two parts: a wall-part, and a floor-part. Mining a tunnel removes the wall-part but leaves the floor-part in place. Channeling removes the floor-part as well, leaving open space above, and if a wall-part exists below, it becomes an upward ramp. Digging an upward ramp removes the wall-part of the designated tile and both parts of the tile above it. Up stairs only modify the wall-part of the designated tile (and are unusable without Down stairs in the tile above), the Down stairs designation will remove the wall-part of the tile (if present) and place a stair connection in the floor-part of the designated tile. Up/down stairs modify both parts of the designated tile (but remain unusable until the tile above/below has the proper stair connection).

== Making a dwarf a miner ==

# Go to the {{Menu icon|y}} labor menu, then work details tab
# Select the "Miners" work detail on the left side of the screen
# Find the dwarf you would like to make a miner, and click the rightmost box, a green check mark should appear
# If you would like this dwarf to ''only'' mine, and ignore all other labors (they will still eat, sleep, take breaks, etc. ) you can toggle the dwarf's "Specialize" button (the hammer and lock icon) to be red.
To start mining, a [[miner]] requires an available [[pick]]. A dwarf's agility and mining skill affect how quickly they mine.

Giving a dwarf the miner work detail will effectively disable the "wood cutter" and "hunter" work details, as their associated labors all involve the usage of different tools.{{verify}}

== Designating the area to be mined ==

# Press {{Menu icon|m}} to bring up the digging orders menu.
# Highlight the requested action by pressing:
#* {{K|m}} for mining
#* {{K|u}} for channeling
#* {{K|r}} for an upward ramp
#* {{K|t}} for stairs, set a start and an end point in a different elevation to determine if it leads upwards or downwards
# (Optional) Set the priority by pressing {{k|n}} to open the advanced options, and clicking a number to set the priority. Tiles with first/lowest numbered priority value will be mined first.
# Draw a rectangle using the mouse. An area should now be highlighted, indicating the area to be mined. The opposite corner can also be placed on a different z-level with {{k|c}}/{{k|e}}, designating areas across z-levels for mining.

==Mineral production (profit!)==
When the wall-part is removed from a stone tile, there is a 25% chance that a single [[stone]] (also known as a boulder) will be left behind. Minerals which are found in [[vein]]s have a 33% chance of leaving ore, and minerals found in [[vein|small clusters]] (or individual tiles) have a 100% chance of leaving a stone or rough gem behind. Finally, any "deep" material (i.e. [[adamantine]] or [[slade]]) has a 100% chance of leaving a usable stone (though the latter is normally undiggable). Mining skill only influences the amount of time it takes to mine each tile; it does not affect drop rate.

Carving a channel down or ramp up needs special care to provide the full 25%/33%/100% mineral production: in the case that both the bottom tile (where the new ramp up is) and the top tile (new open-space above the newly carved ramp) are both dug out together as part of the same designation, there is only a single chance of mineral production, even though two tiles had their wall-part removed, effectively halving the mineral production chance to 12.5%/16.5%/50% in that case. But if special care is taken to ensure the top open-space tile is dug out first before carving the ramp below it, the full chance from both tiles can be achieved.

The [[stoneworker's workshop]] can create four [[block]]s from each boulder, so on average you can create one stone block for each tile of stone mined. Each ore stone also produces 4 metal bars at a [[smelter]], so, on average, you will produce 1⅓ bars of the basic metal* for every tile of ore mined, or 4/ for small clusters of rare ore.

: (* Two ores, [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]], have a chance to produce additional bars of [[silver]] as well as producing the 4 bars of their basic metal ([[copper]] and [[lead]], respectively). As a footnote, while [[iron]] ores produce 4 bars of iron, and that is all the metal required for 1 bar of steel, [[steel]] production additionally consumes 1 [[flux]] stone and 1 bar of [[fuel]] per single bar of steel produced.)

When tunnels are dug in [[soil]], nothing is left from the material, there is no soil equivalent of a "[[stone]]" to be further used. The floor-part will remain (if it wasn't channeled), and is suitable for [[farming]], or, if the right kind of soil, for sand or [[clay]] collection.

After pressing {{K|m}} and opening the advanced optio{{k|n}}s menu, you can set the designation type to switch between designating all materials ({{k|v}}), designating just {{k|g}}ems, designating just gems and {{k|o}}res, or designating ore/gem clusters or veins to be mined automatically with {{k|V}}. Switching the designation type to automining will allow you to quickly assign mining tasks to entire veins.

==Training mining==
Dwarves gain mining experience for each tile mined, be it stone, ore, gem, or soil. Soil is mined extremely quickly and is one of the fastest ways to train miners. Since the skill of mining also is used in combat, a dwarf with mining enabled that is carrying a pick will increase their mining skill through combat drills. This process is much faster than learning by digging through stone, but not nearly as fast as learning by digging through soil.

The fastest way to train mining is to first dig out upstairs, then remove the upstairs. Removing upstairs (even rock ones) is extremely quick and still provides mining experience.

==Mining warm and damp stone==
[[File:digging_wet_preview.png|thumb|Wet tiles that should not be dug.]]

When designating any digging operation, warm and damp tiles will flash, indicating magma or water in adjacent tiles. Miners can dig these safely, provided there is an escape route. (''"Safely"'' here implies only the short term survival of the digging dwarf, your fortress may well be flooded as a result, even many levels above the digging level, ''eventually'' killing your dwarf.)

Channeling and ramping designations involve two operations, and your dwarf will be submerged in the fluid when done. Unskilled swimmers can reach an exit ramp out of water if near enough, but magma will certainly cost your miner's life (the flow from either can knock dwarves off ledges, or, naturally, [[flood]] the fortress.)

Wall tiles ''above'' magma will flash "warm", and designations will be cancelled even if an entirely safe tunnel is being dug. This is rather annoying when carving out rooms above the magma sea, although there is a way around it. Designating a channel two levels above the magma will mine out the warm wall immediately above the magma, and the designation won't be cancelled because it's not in the area of the warm stone.

==How to cancel a mining operation==
If you placed a designated area for mining but want to cancel the mining (for example if you approached [[Main:Digging designation canceled|damp stone]]) open the eraser tool with {{k|x}} and select an area you want to cancel.

== Rampless channels ==
To create a channel with no ramps, you have to mine out the area underneath the channel first, or manually designate the ramps created for removal afterwards {{K-|m|x}}. If you wish for these channels to be completely inaccessible from the outside, channel out the access-point (downward staircase). Another (more complicated) way of removing any access to the moat is to replace the dug out ramps with constructed ones and creating a cave-in with constructed floors. Rampless channels are an effective substitute for walls against melee enemies that cannot fly, and they can be dug out far faster than a wall can be built. However, channels offer no defense against archers or dragonbreath.

When digging ramps upwards, watch out for loose stone or other items that might be on the floor above, as falling objects can injure the unfortunate miner.

:''This article contains information on advanced world generation. For information on basic world generation, see [[World generation]].'' ''See [[World token]] to more easily find information by the names used in the world_gen.txt file, [[World rejection]] for information on solving problems related to worlds always being rejected, and [[Worldgen examples]] for example worlds.''

[[File:adv_worldgen_v50.png|thumb|400px|right|The advanced world generation screen. ''(Click to enlarge)'']]'''Advanced world generation''', also labeled as '''detailed mode''', allows substantially more detail-oriented options of customization than standard, basic world generation. This gives the player much more control over how their world is generated. To better understand this article, it is advised that one should read about [[World generation|'''basic world generation''']] first.

The advanced world generation screen is reached by clicking "Create new world" at the main menu, then clicking "Detailed mode". Once at that screen, clicking "Basic options" will return the user to the standard world generation screen.

== Parameter sets ==
The list of already-defined parameter sets is in the upper-left. You can select the current set that you want to work with using the drop down menu. Any parameter set can be renamed by clicking the [[File:Quill.png]].

Parameter sets can be made by clicking "New parameter set" or by clicking "Copy" to copy the selected set. This will append the selected set to the drop down menu and automatically select that set for editing.

Parameter sets are stored in the <tt>prefs/world_gen.txt</tt> file in the main DF directory. The "Save" and "Load" buttons in the upper-right of DF will save or load '''all''' of the parameter sets in this file. The <tt>world_gen.txt</tt> file can also be edited with a text editor. This is useful for parameter sets posted on the forum or wiki in text form. (See [[Advanced_world_generation#Parameter_Set_Examples|Parameter set examples]] below.)

The tokens used in <tt>world_gen.txt</tt> are at the bottom of each parameter description. Here's the one for the title.

== World name ==

As previously mentioned, the title of the parameter set doesn't affect the name of the world. You can force a particular name for your world using {{K|n}} or set it back to the default random setting using {{K|N}}.

|}

== World dimensions ==

The size of the map to be generated can be changed by changing the Width and Height values. Larger maps take longer to generate and may limit [[Frames per second|FPS]] in-game.

Changing the dimensions of the world will reset the parameters, because many of them have different defaults depending on the surface area available. Creating larger worlds does not necessarily mean longer world generation time - the essential factor for the gen duration is the history. If you restrict the number of historical events, you can significantly speed up the process.

|}

== Seed values ==

The world generation process uses a PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator) algorithm. A PRNG will produce a sequence of numbers that "looks" random, even though the actual sequence of numbers will always be the same if the PRNG is started with the same seed value. Basically this means that if you run world generation with a certain seed value on your computer, and someone else runs world generation with the same seed value on their computer, the same sequence of random numbers will be generated on both computers. The practical impact of this is that someone else can generate exactly the same world that you generated by entering the same seed value that you used.

In older versions, the same seed value(s) produced identical worlds on every computer at any time (if other parameters were identical, too). In the current version, the seed values for the world itself and the names seem to produce the same result, but you will get changes in events which will result in a very different world history. It seems like the history is partly random and not completely connected to the seed. Keep this in mind if you want to regenerate a particular world.

A specific seed value can be entered with {{K|s}}. This will change '''all''' of the seed values to the value you enter. If you need to enter different seed values for each type of seed, use {{K|e}}. In order to find out what seed values were used for the last world you generated, you can look at this screen. If you want to be able to tell someone else how to generate exactly the same world that you just generated, they will need all of the seed values listed under Last Param Set.

When generating a world using a seed, the way that the world is generated is also based at least in part on certain world tokens. As such, you cannot for example, change the minimum and maximum rainfall and get 'the same world but drier or wetter', instead, a different world is generated. That said, it would also seem that certain small changes to these world tokens can occasionally generate a very similar world, however, other tokens are more sensitive. For more information see the forum thread [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112132.msg3404199#msg3404199 here].

The following are tokens which appear to be involved in the implementation of the seed, and are not safe to change:

* [DIM:X:X]
* [ELEVATION:X:X:X:X]
* [RAINFALL:X:X:X:X]
* [TEMPERATURE:X:X:X:X]
* [DRAINAGE:X:X:X:X]
* [VOLCANISM:X:X:X:X]
* [SAVAGERY:X:X:X:X]
* [ELEVATION_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [RAIN_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [DRAINAGE_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [TEMPERATURE_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [SAVAGERY_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [VOLCANISM_FREQUENCY:X:X:X:X:X:X]
* [PARTIAL_OCEAN_EDGE_MIN:X]
* [COMPLETE_OCEAN_EDGE_MIN:X]
* [HAVE_BOTTOM_LAYER_1:X]
* [MINERAL_SCARCITY:X] {{cite talk/this|Mineral scarcity}}

Many other world parameters, such as end year and embark points, can, however, be changed without it having any effect on the geography of the world generated from the seed values.

Normally, you don't enter these seed values - the world generation process comes up with seed values based on some sort of "true" random information from things like random values in uninitialized memory, the current date/time, etc.

== Generating a world ==

Unless you're using an already-defined parameter set, you will probably want to edit the parameters. Information about each parameter is documented below. Once you are happy with the parameters you should save the values you just edited and proceed to the [[world generation]] process.

The phases of the world generation process are (this order is not completely correct):
* Preparing elevation...
* Setting temperature...
* Running rivers...
* Forming lakes and minerals...
* Growing vegetation...
* Verifying terrain...
* Importing wildlife...
* Recounting legends...
* Placing civilizations...
* Making cave civilizations...
* Making cave pops...
* Placing other beasts...
* Placing megabeasts...
* Placing good/evil...
* Placing caves...
* Prehistory generation
* Finalizing civ mats...
* Finalizing art...
* Finalizing uniforms...
* Finalizing sites...

== World painter ==
:''Main article: [[World painter]]
The '''world painter''' tool allows you to paint features onto a map that is then used when generating a world. It is very difficult to use properly, and tends to result in endless rejected worlds, unless you loosen or remove the restrictions placed on biomes and civilizations in the advanced settings. That being said it is also a very powerful tool, and allows you to generate worlds more to your liking.

To access the world painter, hit {{k|e}} to start editing the advanced parameters and finally hit {{k|p}} to open world painter. How to use the world painter is not entirely obvious so please check out the [[World painter]] documentation to avoid frustration. (Losing may be fun, but frustration is not.)

== Editing the parameters init file ==

Parameter sets are stored in the ''prefs/[[world_gen.txt]]'' file, using [[world token]]s. You can copy and paste other players' sets of parameters into your ''world_gen.txt'' to use their parameter sets. Another place to find parameter sets is the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=180805.0 Worldgen cookbook] thread on the official forums.

== Advanced parameters ==

To access advanced parameters, press {{key|e}} when at the "Design New Worlds with Advanced Parameters" screen. This will bring you to an editable list of various guidelines that the world-gen process will use when creating your new world. The parameters are described below in the order that they appear in the list in the UI, not necessarily the order they appear in the configuration file.

See [[world token]] for an index that will help you look things up by token name.

There are essentially 4 types of controls for the generation of the surface map;

'''Terrain Parameters''': as described below, these 5 variables define the basic background world, how hot or cold it is, how much rainfall, how high the mountains are. The world automatically goes through the temperature range along the Y axis, although sometimes it will be hotter in the north, other times in the south. Minimum, maximum and X,Y variance can drastically alter the world.

'''Weighted Meshes''': these are a way to fine-tune the amount of the 5 basic variables on the map. It can be used to set the specific distribution of different elevations or rainfall areas for example.

'''Rejection Parameters''': ''Dwarf Fortress'' has a 'belt-and-braces' approach to world generation. The above controls allow you to shape the world, then the rejection parameters throw it out if it isn't right! There are a number of rejection parameters for the number and degree of the 5 basic variables, for biome types etc. If the world does not meet the requirements of any one rejection parameter the world is rejected and re-randomised. Also see [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:World_rejection World Rejection]

There are also the feature-placing options such as rivers, mountain peaks, volcanoes and oceans, which can cause rejections if the terrain parameters don't allow enough suitable locations for the features to be placed.

If you are experimenting with world design, one method would be to disable the rejection parameters and use the first two control types. Otherwise, any significant change will likely result in endless rejections.

=== Seed values ===

Here, you can enter specific seed values for different parts of the world generation process - different sequences of pseudorandom numbers are used for different parts, so you can use this to reproduce only the particular part of world generation from some previously generated world, if you want. Normally, you'll want to leave all of these set to Random, unless you're specifically trying to reproduce the results of another world generation run.

=== Embark Points ===

This controls the number of points that you have for skills and equipment when you embark in fortress mode. Turning this value up will allow games started in this world to start with more skilled dwarves with better equipment. Normally, you can do just fine by leaving this value set to default, but you might want to turn it up for experimental/testing purposes or to help dwarves survive in a particularly evil world, or turn it down for certain [[challenges]]. The highest amount this value can be set to is 10,000.

=== End year ===

This is how many years of history are generated for the world; basically the same as the History parameter in basic world gen, except that you can enter an exact value for the number of years. See [[World_generation#History|History]] for more info.

History is divided into "ages" which are determined by the ''percentage'' of megabeasts and semi-megabeasts killed at various points. One can attempt to make a world go through the ages more quickly by pumping up the ratio of semimegabeast to megabeast caves, the former of which are usually more killable than the regular megabeasts. This will net you more "Age of Legends", "Age of Heroes", etc.

For more information on the history aspect of the game, see [[Legends]] and [[Calendar#Ages|Ages]].

=== Population cap after civ creation ===

This determines the maximum possible population of civilization member [[historical figure]]s alive at a given time during worldgen. Not all members of a civilization are historical figures. This tag does not directly influence the total population of civilized beings as it once did when populations were all historical figures, so the description is a bit confusing. You can enter -1 to make the historical population unlimited.

Each race may have up to 100 civilizations each, and each civilization a maximum population of 10,000. Civilizations, known as ''entities'' in the [[Raw file|raw files]], have 3 or 4 basic variables that will greatly affect their final placement on the world map. See [[Entity_token#Population|Population (Entity Token)]] for more information on interpreting/editing the raws if you need more precise control of civilization placement and total population numbers.

Huge historical figure populations can cause the size of history data to explode, cause history generation to take forever, lower FPS, and generally slow down the game.

=== Site cap after civ creation ===

This controls the maximum number of towns and similar sites on the entire map. Raising the number will allow for more towns, etc. though the number of sites will ultimately still be limited by things like space, terrain, and population cap. Note that this parameter controls only '''"civilization" sites''' like [[town]]s - other sites, such as [[lair]]s, will be added onto this maximum.

After civilizations reach this cap, they will not spread out any more to place new cities. By default, the raws limit each civilization site to a population of 120, regardless of the race of the civilization - therefore, without editing the raws, the total population on the map can't go above site cap x 120.

Beware; increasing this too high can slow worldgen down by a lot. Another effect can be goblins (or certain [[Elf|other civs]]) sometimes overwhelming all other civilizations and/or flooding the world with their homes, leaving no good places to build your fortress, be it human or dwarven. If you choose a low cap to hasten world generation, the cap will likely be reached within years, stopping expansion of all civs. If you want a good, long history, you will have to adjust site/population cap and the number of civs many times to find one fulfilling your needs.

=== Beast control ===

These parameters don't usually matter too much, but may matter for small numbers of beasts.

==== Percentage of Megabeasts and Titans Dead for Stoppage ====

The world starts out with a certain number of powerful megabeast and titan entities in existence. If a percentage of the megabeast and titan population dies out during history generation, then history generation will stop early. For example, if the elimination value is 80%, and the generated history starts with 200 entities and 160 of those 200 entities are eliminated by historical events before the End Year is reached, history generation will stop immediately.

If you want to end the creation of your world at the beginning of a certain age, choose the following values:
* Age of Legends: ~34%
* Age of Heroes: ~67%
If there are three or fewer titans or megabeasts in your world, the age will be given a special name reflecting the remaining megabeasts/titans, instead.

==== Year to Begin Checking Megabeast Percentage ====

The percentage of dead [[megabeast]]s and [[titan]]s for stoppage will not be checked until this year is reached in history generation. This can be used to ensure that a world reaches a certain year even if all of the megabeasts in the world are slain earlier.

If the number of living [[megabeast]]s and [[titan]]s starts at or drops to less than four, then world generation will always stop if the current year is equal to or greater than the Year to Begin Checking Megabeast Percentage ''regardless'' of how many [[megabeast]]s and [[titan]]s are dead — Percentage of Megabeasts and Titans Dead for Stoppage is ignored. The number of megabeasts and titans at the start of the world is set by the sum of the [[Advanced_world_generation#Max_Megabeasts_Caves|Max Megabeasts Caves]] and [[Advanced_world_generation#Titan_Parameters|Titan Number]] parameters.

=== Cull Unimportant Historical Figures ===

Whether or not the game will ignore unimportant figures in history generation. The culling of unimportant historical figures is a CPU-intensive step in history generation but it saves memory and will speed up loading/saving games in fortress mode. This does mean that the "unimportant" figures will not appear in Legends mode or in engravings, but unimportant figures would likely not appear in engravings anyway.

Unimportant figures are creatures who suffer early deaths, never have offspring or kill a named creature during world gen. For example, a resident of a goblin tower may get murdered by demons at a young age. After culling unimportant figures, Legends mode would say "In the year 102, the demon Evil McEvilface killed an unknown creature at Eviltower."

=== Reveal All Historical Events ===

Setting this to Yes will allow access to most information about the history of the world in [[Legends mode]]. All events will be revealed, but some [[historical figure]]s, [[site]]s, [[region]]s, and [[civilization]]s and other entities may not be, possibly because they are not known to any civilization.

|}

=== Terrain Parameters ===

These determine how random values for terrain elevation, rainfall, temperature, drainage, volcanism, and savagery are generated. What biomes exist are then determined by how these factors overlap with each other.

==== Minima and Maxima ====

These are the absolute minimum and maximum values that can ever be generated for a particular map square characteristic. Changing these can cause the occurrence of certain [[Biome|biomes]] to become impossible, so modify these with care. Because of this problem, you may want to use [[#Weighted Ranges|Weighted Ranges]] instead. By ''subtly'' tweaking the min and max values, vastly different maps can be made.

==== Elevation ====

This controls the range of terrain elevations that can occur in the world.

Usually you just want to leave the min/max values alone. Raising the minimum elevation can, for example, make it impossible for oceans to exist. This does '''not''' directly control the number of available Z-levels at a particular site, though high maximum values may contribute to peaks which can raise the number of above ground Z-levels. In other words, a maximum elevation of 400 and minimum of 1 does not mean you get 400 Z-levels but it might increase the number of Z-levels somewhat in some regions compared to others.

Raising the variance will result in a more bumpy, uneven landscape.

Some biomes/features that are impacted by elevation:
* A high minimum (above 99) means no oceans as they need elevations below 100.
* A low maximum (below 300) means no mountains as mountains need elevations above 300.
* Rivers will be placed when the elevation maximum is 104 or higher. Therefore, keeping both values above 100 and below 104 will prevent all water tiles from appearing.
*Mountain peaks can only form in squares with an elevation of 400.

==== X and Y Variance ====

These control how wildly things like elevation and rainfall can vary between adjacent map squares. For example, if these values are set to the maximum of 3,200 for elevation then you will end up with more very low areas right next to very high areas. The number for X determines the east-west variance and the number for Y determines the north-south variance. By setting only one of these to a high value you can, for example, create horizontal or vertical bands of areas which are more similar to each other.

Generally speaking, raising both of these values will create a more random "patchwork" of many small biomes while setting both x and y values to 0 will cause every square on the map to use a single random value for the given characteristic.

For "patchwork" worlds to avoid being rejected, [[#Maximum_Number_of_Subregions|Maximum Number of Subregions]] will probably need to be increased from the default.

==== Rainfall ====

Controls the amount of rainfall in each map square/area. Setting the minimum or maximum too high or low can make the formation of certain biomes impossible. Rainfall causes it to [[rain]] more in a given area, which can have various effects. Also makes more rivers appear on the world map.

Note that if [[#Do Orographic Precipitation and Rain Shadows|orographic precipitation and rain shadows]] is on, then mountains will cause additional variance in rainfall, so (for example) rainfall below the specified minimum can occur in the shadow of a mountain. If you want the minimum and maximum for this parameter to be absolutely respected, you must turn off the orographic precipitation option.

Additionally, with Orthographic Precipitation turned on, orthographic precipitation and rain shadows will only occur in regions with greater than or equal to 50 drainage. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139916.0 [Report, reproduced 2022]]

==== Temperature ====

These parameters control how hot or cold various areas will be. If you lower the minimum and maximum values, the world will be colder overall, for example. As with the others, changing these values too much could make it impossible for certain biomes to exist. See [[Climate]] for more info.

These parameters form the "base" temperature for an area, and describe peak summer temperature in a scale that isn't used elsewhere in the game. This number also does not correspond 1:1 with the final climate. [[Temperature]] is always influenced by a number of variables, including elevation, time of year, thick forestation, and if [[Advanced_world_generation#Poles|Poles]] are enabled, latitude. These other variables are factored in after the temperature mesh is applied, and frequently bring temperatures above and below their set minimum and maximum values. ''The inclusion of Poles is particularly strong in this regard, as it allows latitude to raise and/or lower temperatures by more than 75 degrees Celsius! That said, the temperatures aren't raised or lowered by more than about 65 degrees past the set minimum and maximum. Furthermore, for typical ranges the temperature will never be raised more than about 25 degrees past the maximum (but will still drop up to about 65 degrees Celsius below the minimum).'' (unsure about exact values, research needed)

With a maximum temperature of 9 degrees, elf (elven) civilizations won't spawn.
Humans need at least 0 degrees.

==== Drainage ====

Changing drainage parameters will change the way water-affected biomes are formed. Low drainage will contribute to the formation of [[Lake|lakes]], [[River|rivers]], and [[Swamp|swamps]]. High drainage will cause water to sink into the ground rather than sit on the surface, which is important for forming hills.

Lower drainage values have been reported to contribute to the formation of thicker soil layers, though it is currently unknown exactly how other factors (such as elevation or perhaps rain) impact soil formation.

==== Volcanism ====

Volcanism controls the occurrence of igneous [[layer]]s, and the formation of volcanoes. For a volcano to form, a square must have a volcanism value of 100, so reducing the maximum from 100 will make volcanoes impossible. Raising the minimum will increase the rarity of non-igneous layers.

Setting the minimum to a high value is not a good way to produce multiple volcanoes, as you are likely to get a "Volcanism not evenly distributed" rejection. Instead, use the Minimum Number of Volcanoes parameter, and possibly adjust the weighted ranges for volcanism as described below.

==== Savagery ====

These parameters control the level of [[Surroundings#Savage|savagery]] on the map. Raising the minimum savagery too high may make it impossible for certain races to exist, and similarly lowering the maximum too far can make it impossible for certain creatures to exist. The largest chance of having unusable maps comes from a too-high savagery value.

=== Terrain Mesh Sizes and Weights ===

These parameters make it possible to influence the number of squares in a particular range, without making conditions outside of that range impossible. For example, you can make it possible for many more low-elevation squares to exist without making it impossible for high elevations to form. Changing these parameters is often preferable to simply changing the min/max values.

The basic steps of applying weighted ranges are as follows:

# Create a grid with 2''MeshSize'' - 1 tiles in both X and Y direction.
# Set the intersection points of the grid lines to a random value according to the weighted ranges.
# Smooth out the area between the intersection points.
# Add noise according to the variance parameters.

where ''MeshSize'' is the raw parameter value found in the world_gen.txt. See the image on the right for an example.

[[File:World_map-large-32x32-elevation-mesh.png|thumb|300px|A large world generated with an Elevation Mesh Size of 32×32 and range weights set to 1:0:0:0:1 (i.e., only extreme high and low elevations). Note how the grid intersections are either set very high or very low and the space between them is smoothed out.]]

==== Mesh Size/Weighted Ranges ====

Mesh size determines how many grid tiles there will be. Setting this to Ignore will cause the weighted range settings to be ignored for that terrain characteristic. As an example, setting it to 2×2 means the grid will be 2 times 2 tiles large and there will be 3×3 for a total of 9 intersection points. On a pocket world, this means one grid tile will be 8×8 world tiles large, whereas on a large world, one grid tile will be 128×128 world tiles. Note that the highest possible value for a given world size will always make the grid tiles 8×8 world tiles large.

If mesh size is set to something other than Ignore, these weights will be applied at the granularity of the selected mesh size for purposes of generating random values in each range. This allows random number generation to be non-linear for the given terrain characteristic.

For example, if the Elevation Weighted Range parameters were set to (starting with the 0-20 range) 60:10:10:10:10 (these values do not have to add up to any particular number) and elevation min and max are set to 1 and 400 respectively then about 60% of the grid line intersection points (on average) will be set to an elevation in the range of 1-80 (0% to 20%), and the other ranges will be represented by around 10% of the intersection points each. The exact distribution is still left up to chance though ''on average'' it will be close to this specification.

Weighted ranges do not make rejection checks, although they can be responsible for many rejections if you neglect to adjust or disable some of the [[#Minimum Number of Mid/Low/High Characteristic Squares|Minimum Number of Mid/Low/High Characteristic Squares]] for example.

==== Interaction between Mesh Size and Variance ====

The end result can vary greatly depending on how the corresponding [[#X_and_Y_Variance|X and Y Variance]] parameters are set. First of all, if the variance is too large the noise it adds can completely negate the effect of the weighted ranges. For instance, with a 2×2 mesh, the default variance parameters are high enough that usually the mesh grid can hardly be recognized. How strong the variance's effect is, is also dependent on the mesh size. Having a larger mesh size (i.e. smaller grid tiles) means the variance also has to be higher for a visible effect. For instance, with a variance of 400, the effects are clearly visible with a 2×2 mesh and barely visible at all with a 8×8 mesh. Note that this effect is directly dependent on the mesh size and not, as one might expect, on the actual size of the grid tiles. This means, that a large world with a 2×2 mesh will look essentially the same as a pocket world with a 2×2 mesh, only stretched to 256 times the size.

=== Poles ===

With this, you can influence how polar regions are added. The poles can be on the north or south edge, and the equator will be on the opposite edge, or in the middle if there are two poles. If poles are set to NONE, then there will be no seasonal changes in the weather (e.g. no winter snow in temperate biomes).

=== Minimum Mountain Peak Number ===

This will cause the world to be rejected if fewer than this many peaks (based on elevation) are present on the map. EG: elevations of 400 must be possible for mountain peaks to occur. If set to zero, then worlds will not be rejected based on number of peaks.

You may need to adjust elevation parameters, such as the highest weighted range, in order to get the desired number of elevation-400 squares needed for larger numbers of peaks. Like volcanoes, mountain peaks can make embark zones more interesting, but other than that, they don't appear to "do" anything special. Reportedly, they do increase the highest Z-level above ground in all embark zones in the same region, even if the selected embark zone does not include the peak.

=== Minimum Partial Edge Oceans ===

This will cause a world to be rejected unless there are at least this many oceans touching an edge of the map. If set to zero then worlds will not be rejected based on this criterion. Setting both this parameter and Minimum Complete Edge Oceans to values that total more than 4 when added together may cause all worlds to be rejected as you can't have both a partial and complete edge ocean on a given edge.

|}

=== Minimum Complete Edge Oceans ===

This will cause a world to be rejected unless there are at least this many oceans which completely cover an edge of the map. Since a square map only has 4 edges, the maximum value possible is 4. If set to zero then worlds will not be rejected based on this criterion but still might end up with complete edge oceans by chance.

Note that the ability for this many edge oceans to exist will be limited by elevation. Therefore, to actually create large oceans you will probably need to change things like the Elevation Mesh Size and Weighted Ranges to increase the number and distribution of very low elevation squares on the map. In addition, if Complete Edge Oceans is set to any value ''other'' than 0 or 4, you may need to lower elevation variance for at least one of the axes: if set too high, such as a variation of 1600 for both X and Y axes (the default for Large Island and Medium Island parameter sets), the game may generate worlds very slowly or even hang.{{bug|565}}

Given appropriate weight, range, and variance values for things like elevation, a setting of: 1 results in a world that seems like a chunk of coastline. One edge of the map will be completely underwater and there will be ocean taking up much of the map on that side (think the east or west coast of the United States, the north coast of Canada, or southern Europe). If your edge ocean happens to pick your world's frozen side, most of it will be glacier.

*2 results in another coastline along with the first one -- the map could end up looking something like Panama if the oceans pick opposite sides of the map.
*3 results in a peninsula, like Florida in the US. There will be oceans surrounding 3 sides of the map, and land touching only one side of the map.
*4 results in one or more island(s) depending on things like elevation variance and weights. Regardless of whether you get one island or multiple islands, the entire map will be surrounded by water.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to control which oceans end up on which edges, except perhaps setting X and Y variance to different values.

Edge oceans will take up part of the other edges too. For example, a full edge ocean on the east side will have part of the north and south sides underwater, but that does ''not'' add to the ''partial'' edge oceans count.

=== Minimum Volcano Number ===

Worlds with less than this number of volcanoes will be rejected. Note that this will not just create this many volcanoes at random; there must be at least this many squares with a Volcanism of 100. Therefore, adjusting Weighted Range for 80-100 to some higher value is recommended if you want to facilitate a large number of volcanoes. In addition, Maximum Volcanism must be set to 100 or squares with volcanism of 100 will be impossible, making volcanoes impossible.

=== Mineral Scarcity ===

Controls the frequency at which minerals occur - setting this value lower will increase the amount and number of different types of ore present on a map, and the number/types of gems. The default value will result in a maximum of 2-4 metal ores per map (assuming you choose a good embark location) which may be limiting until the economy is fully implemented and desired metals can be traded for.

The options "Very Rare", "Rare", "Sparse", "Frequent", and "Everywhere" in the [[World_generation#Basic_World_Generation_Menu|basic world generation menu]] use the values 50000, 10000, 2500, 500 and 100 respectively.

According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79018.msg2063804#msg2063804 research] by Shandra in v0.31.25, this is the relationship between the value of this setting and the approximate number of gems and ore:

[[File:MineralSetting_v25_limit10k.png]]

This is for the same 8x8 embark region in a world which is otherwise the same, except for the mineral scarcity parameter (although most of the detailed information comes from experiments with previous versions).

==== Attack Population Requirement ====

[[Titan]]s will begin to attack your fort once at least this many dwarves inhabit it, regardless of whether any other attack criteria have been met.

This number defaults to 80, which isn't usually too difficult to deal with.

==== Exported Wealth Requirement ====

Titans will begin to attack your fort once you have exported at least this many [[Currency|dwarfbucks]]-worth of goods, regardless of whether or not any other criteria have been met. This parameter defaults to None (disabled).

==== Created Wealth Requirement ====

Titans will begin to attack your fort once the fort's total wealth has reached this many [[Currency|dwarfbucks]] in value. This happens regardless of whether any of the other criteria, such as population, have been met; therefore, even with 1 dwarf, a fort could be attacked if the fort were worth at least this value.

=== Number of Demon Types ===

[[Demon]]s are similar to [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s, in that they are procedurally generated, but unlike titans, they are not unique. Thus, many different types of demons will exist in the world, but there will be many members of each type. Setting this to zero means no demons will exist, limiting the amount of [[fun]] you can have. Thanks to [[Underworld spire|certain fun things]], fewer demon types also means fewer goblin civilizations[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=7348f68f41a9659443c05b2acf534e6c&topic=112465.15].You need at least 2 demon types, or goblin civilizations won't exist.

=== Number of Secret Types ===

The number of secrets that exist in the world. Currently, all secrets are secrets of life and death, and the ones holding these secrets are [[necromancer]]s, thus, setting this to zero means that no necromancers will appear.
Non-necromancer towers can still appear (extremely rarely) with zero secrets, constructed by independent undead groups.
The primary difference between having 1 or 1000 secrets is the chance of your world having any necromancer towers at all. With 1, this chance is low. With the default number, it's seemingly guaranteed.
Even with 1 secret, if you have any necromancer towers at all, it is likely a great number will quickly appear in world generation (though this isn't guaranteed).

=== Desired Good/Evil Square Counts ===

These values change the amount of [[Surroundings#Good|good or evil]] tiles on the map, depending on the size of the region they are being considered for. The counts are for all tiles in all subregions of a given size considered together, ''not'' counts for each subregion considered separately (all tiles in the same subregion share the same [[surroundings]] values).

As used here, a "subregion" is a named world area. Subregion names and locations for a generated world are viewable in legends mode under "Regions". Subregions are classified by size the same way for all map sizes: 1-24 tiles is Small, 25-99 tiles is Medium, and 100+ tiles is Large.

The counts used here will always be restricted to regions of the given size, no matter how large the count. Also, the count is more of a goal than a minimum or maximum. As a result, you can end up with many more or many fewer than the requested number of squares in some situations. In particular, if you have something like a case where only 3 large regions exist in a world, and you request "1 evil square" in large regions, you will end up with one of the large regions being ''entirely evil''. So any non-zero value in one of these settings essentially means "force at least one region of this size to be all good/evil."

Note that the "evilness" of evil biomes is also impacted by savagery. Certain civilizations cannot exist in good and/or evil squares, so too many of one or the other may limit the size of certain types of civilizations - dwarves, for example, need non-aligned biomes. Creating too many evil biomes seems to lead to the danger of many civilizations' early extinction.

=== Minimum Biome Square Counts ===

These numbers control whether or not a world will be rejected based on a lack of different [[biome|biomes]]. Raising these numbers will '''not''' automatically generate the given number of squares of the given biome! For a biome to exist, certain conditions like elevation and rainfall must exist.

These parameters simply filter out worlds that (for example) randomly fail to have enough high elevation squares to support a given number of mountains, etc. Some settings may cause worlds to always be rejected. For example, if for some reason the maximum elevation parameter is set to a value below what will support mountain biomes, it will be impossible to satisfy a non-zero requirement for mountain squares. The same principle goes for other conditions and biomes such as low elevations and oceans, etc.

Certain civilizations require different biomes to exist (such as dwarves and mountains), so eliminating certain biomes will make it impossible for certain civilizations to form.

These parameters often result in infinite world rejection problems. See [[World rejection]] for information on solving problems related to worlds always being rejected due to one or more of these parameters.

0 means no minimum for rejection - setting it to 0 does not guarantee 0 squares of that biome.

==== Minimum Initial Square Count ====

'''Note: The exclusive purpose of these parameters is to cause world rejection.'''

This is the minimum number of squares of the given biome that must exist before things like erosion take place. One thing to keep in mind is the maximum number of squares on a map of a given size - if the total number of squares on a map is lower than the sum of all square count parameters, then you will get infinite world rejection.

To determine the number of squares on a map, just multiply the dimensions. In practice these parameters will need to sum to lower than the maximum because some space is needed for "slack".

==== Minimum Initial Region Count ====

This is the minimum number of regions of contiguous biome squares that must exist before other processes such as erosion take place.

==== Minimum Final Region Count ====

This many regions of the given biome must exist after erosion and similar phases of generation have been completed.

=== Erosion Cycle Count ===

Tells the world generator how long the world has to erode its tall peaks down to mountainsides during the 'running rivers...' stage of world creation. The higher this number, the less jagged the world will be, and the more wide the major rivers will be. If you use the maximum number, your mountains will dissolve before your eyes into plains which can lead to rejections if there aren't enough mountains to use for river start points and dwarven civilization origin points.

=== Minimum/Desired River Start Locations ===

This is the minimum number of riverheads that must exist before and after erosion takes place. Worlds will be rejected if they fail to meet these numbers. As with minimum biome counts, raising this number doesn't automatically create this many riverheads. Other conditions like terrain and rainfall must exist for rivers to form.

Extremely high pre-erosion values speed erosion greatly, while low post erosion values are useful for limiting rejects due to lack of river origin points. One can try the 800 value to get more lakes.

=== Periodically Erode Extreme Cliffs ===

If enabled, makes every impassable rock wall into a series of ramps. Some prefer to pump up erosion to about 250, and turn the "Desired pre-erosion river count" to 0 for good erosion and no extra canyons.

=== Do Orographic Precipitation and Rain Shadows ===

Toggle that allows terrain height to affect rainfall. For example, moist air coming from the ocean blows over the land. As the terrain gets higher, it forces the moist air up, causing it to rain on the seaward side of a mountain. Eventually, all the rain has fallen if the mountain is tall enough. So, when the breeze goes over the top, there's no moisture left to fall on the other side, creating a rain-shadow. In the current version, regions where drainage is above 50 will also create rain shadows, regardless of the underlying biome and elevation.{{cite forum|140685/5484064}}

Turning this on should create a tendency for more extreme rainfall in regions, creating more forests, deserts, marshlands, and grasslands. Also note that it can create rainfall outside of min-max rainfall settings, so even in a world with a 0 max rainfall you may get rainfall biomes. Turning it off should result in more controllable, less complex rainfall conditions based on rainfall parameters as it adds a random element which can distort or otherwise mess up the climates on a pregenerated map.

This should be disabled if you're importing a map or using a preset map file that has weather.

=== Maximum Number of Subregions ===

This is the number of separate biomes (the flashing regions you see on embark when you hit F1, F2, etc. when there's more than one biome on the embark location) that are allowed to exist on the entire map.

Setting this to very low values will result in numerous rejections depending on [[#X and Y Variance|variance parameters]]. If variance values are set to high numbers, many small biomes will be created causing rejection if this parameter value is not increased beyond the default.

Increasing the value of this tag is often a must when generating "patchwork" worlds with lots of biome variance, but simply increasing it without increasing variance parameters will not guarantee more biomes.

It is also interesting to note that the maximum subregions is 5000 which is more than the total number of squares for a pocket or small map. However, for a medium or large map (16641 or 66049 squares) it quickly becomes a mere fraction of the total number of possible subregions. In fact it would be quite easy on a large map to end up with far too many subregions and get endless rejections of this type.

=== Cavern Parameters ===
[[Caverns]] are the hollow areas underground, which dwarves tend to encounter when they're digging around. The '''Cavern Layer Number''' parameter determines how many cavern systems will be generated, not including the magma layer or the Bottom layer. Defaults to three. Setting it to lower values could help FPS.

Setting it to 2 will merge cavern 3 species into the 2nd cavern, and setting it to 1 will merge all into one cavern. However, disabling them entirely by setting it to 0 will make it impossible to grow any underground plants, as none will exist for your civilization to cultivate, nor will they be available on embark.

*Setting caverns to a sub-3 number (Spoiler, highlight to view) erases about one-third of HFS spires{{Bug|10267}} and prevents dig deep disasters. Additionally, random plant or animal species can be more frequently absent.

==== Cavern Layout Parameters ====

Open caverns and dense passageways are not mutually exclusive. When both are raised, bizarre results can occur, such as layers showing a combination of open caverns, a cluster of network passages, and natural walls sprinkling the inside of an otherwise open cavern. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=76355.msg1936859#msg1936859 Reference]

If you want the largest open spaces possible, then decrease the density and increase the openness. If you want a labyrinth of passageways, lower the openness and raise the passage density.

Another interesting note about the cavern layers is that the seed and number of demon types affect the layout of the caverns.

===== Layer Openness Min/Max =====

Dictates the size of cavern passages. When Passage Density (see below) is set to minimum (0), caverns will be open expanses. Raising the maximum will increase the size of the caverns.

===== Layer Passage Density Min/Max =====

This determines how many passages form the cavern. If openness (see above) is set to minimum and density increased, then you will get a maze-like network of small criss-crossing passages. Raising the values further increases the number of the maze-like passages.

Caverns will be large, open spaces at 0, and comprised of many small vertical shafts of rock at 100. Setting both values to be the same results in a uniform look for the caverns.{{Verify}}

At 0, there will be no water in your caverns. This may impact future underground plant growth, although maps will still start with underground flora.{{Verify}}

==== Magma Layer ====

This parameter controls whether the [[magma sea]] exists.

Setting 1/Yes causes the magma layer to exist, value 0/No prevents it. Appears not to have any impact on volcanoes nor volcanism, so even if 0/No, there will still be embark locations with magma. If a [[volcano]] exists, it appears to always tap the magma sea, but the magma sea will not be revealed by revealing the volcano.

=== Z Levels (Depth) Settings ===

These parameters control the "thickness" of various "layers" on the map. Note that a "layer" in this case does not refer to one Z-level, but refers to a number of related Z-levels such as "levels above ground".

The following table assumes that you have 3 cavern layers. (out of a minimum of 0-3) The Levels Above Layer settings control how many Z-Levels are above each layer. A layer may itself consist of multiple Z-Levels (and almost always does).

Some implications:
* The number of surface layers (e.g. soil), at this time, cannot be controlled. For example, on a map with 1 layer of peat, then a layer of silt, then a layer of obsidian, there is no control to let you increase either one to be, say, 20 z-levels. (though you may get lucky with the obsidian).
* There can be multiple stone layers between the cavern and the surface, so, increasing Levels Above Layer 1 may give you more conglomerate or more granite, and you have no control over which stone layer spans those Z-levels.
* The layers shown on embark span across the cavern layers in an unknown and inconsistent way. Sometimes those 10 different layers of stone are evenly distributed over your 400 z-level deep map, sometimes the first 9 get 1 z-level each and the last gets the other 391 levels. No way to control found yet.
* The HFS chamber, if present, will always extend into the rock layers, and appears to always make contact with the bottom cave. Large values for levels above layer 5 and layer 4 can result in enormous chambers, but the number of levels at the top (the part with undead) appears to be unaffected.
* Unconfirmed whether number of levels between caverns has any impact on cavern height. There will be connecting ramps and/or shafts between cavern layers no matter how many levels are between them.
* '''Very Important''': These values appear to apply across a whole 16x16 region, not just embark areas. That means that if a 16x16 region is completely flat, but has one tall mountain in one far corner, even if you set Levels Above Ground low (e.g. 2 z-levels) you still have all the empty air of the highest mountain in every embark tile (e.g. 200 z-levels). Also can happen to the semi-molten layer, and can lead to unexpected behavior.
* Very large or small values can cause strange things to happen.

=== Cave Parameters ===

Caves are somewhat like caverns, except that they have a passage to the surface, and are generally much smaller – caves can connect to caverns if they are sufficiently deep.

=== Number of Civilizations ===

This number of [[civilization]]s will be placed on the map before history generation begins. These civilizations may later die out due to historical events. It is noteworthy that the chance for any given civilization to be destroyed through megabeasts decreases with a higher total number of civilizations present[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=7348f68f41a9659443c05b2acf534e6c&topic=112465.15 data]. The five races are dwarf, elf, human, goblin, and kobold; they will generally be placed in equal numbers until the quota has been reached. If there are not enough biomes or other worldgen prerequisites for an even distribution, certain civs will be much more or less frequent than others[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=7348f68f41a9659443c05b2acf534e6c&topic=112465.15 data]. If there is an odd number of civs (not divisible by 5), then the remainder is distributed randomly. Kobold civs require caves to be placed; if no caves exist, then kobolds are skipped and will not appear. This does not cause rejections [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112465.msg3415125#msg3415125 data].

Note that a high value here can cause lots of map rejections, particularly on smaller maps as there simply isn't enough room or regions to put them all in.

If this is set to yes (default) then worlds will be rejected if no civilization with [[Entity token|CIV_CONTROLLABLE]] can be placed. In an unmodded game, only the dwarves have this token.

=== Minimum Number of Mid/Low/High Characteristic Squares ===

Sets the minimum possible number of squares of certain ranges of each of the region qualities, such as elevation, rain, drainage, volcanism, savagery, and temperature. These need to be changed to reflect your regional meshes and weights, and are responsible for a HUGE number of map rejections. These values can all be set to 0 for much fewer map rejections, particularly in the case of more wacky, non-standard maps.

These values will cause worlds to be rejected unless at least the given number of squares of the given type are randomly generated. Setting these values too high could result in worlds always being rejected if other parameters such as the maximum/minimums for elevation, etc., don't allow enough of those squares to get generated.

==World rejection==

:''Main article: [[World rejection]]''

If you are having the common problem of generated worlds always being rejected by the world generator, see [[v0.31:World rejection|Solving World Rejection Problems (v0.31 page)]] as it contains many detailed suggestions on how to troubleshoot and solve these issues.

== Default Worldgen Parameters ==

There is no single default for each parameter. Several advanced world generation profiles come with the game by default. See [[world_gen.txt|Default world_gen.txt]] to take a look at this file.

== Parameter Set Examples ==

If you're trying to do something specific, then the [[Worldgen examples]] - complete parameter sets that can be copied directly into your ''world_gen.txt'' file and customized as desired - might be helpful.
If none of the examples suit your needs, [[Worldgen tricks]] has strategies and tips on making a world just right for you.

For many, many more examples see:

ForgottenBeet: Fix some links to older graphics / tile sets that were moved a while back

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because!

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

|comments=I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down-ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

I chose this font due to its readability at a low resolutions, and soon I'll convert some of the non-letter characters into actually objects like beds and dwarves, so keep a look out for an updated version that I'll add below.

|comments=Similar to [[Tileset_repository#Alloy|Alloy's conversion]], this is based on the default curses_800x600 tileset, converted to 12x12. I wrote a GIMP python plugin to add padding to bring each tile up to the required size, and then I manually tidied up the places where the images no longer went all the way to the edge of the tile. This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds.

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

Yes, its SUPPOSED to look like that. v1.1 - fixed character 0x02 background (filled smiley), filled in the card suits, minor touch up to the comma, fix black instead of magenta on the greyscale blocks and other tweaks to them, redrew the square block (was 'too clean' before) v1.1a - fixed spade by adding 1 pixel at tip so it doesn't look like another club

I strongly recommend to enable blackspace in the init: [BLACK_SPACE:YES] Made from the 24pts cleartype lucida console above (from winterwing). I added some stuff (some original, some ideas taken from others tilesets). Basically I try to avoid symbols that are often seen in menus, etc. The main "problem" is the bag, because its the male symbol, but it was too good looking to not put it ;) Hope you enjoy :) . . .

[[Graphics set]]s are used to change the appearance of [[creature]]s in the game. They usually come with certain [[tileset]]s and are designed to work together. They can significantly change the appearance of the game and make it easier for players to tell what is happening onscreen. This page serves as a repository for custom graphic sets made by users.

Last updated: Mar 11, 2020. The Meph tileset was the first graphical 32x32 tileset for ''Dwarf Fortress''. ”It was born from my research about tilesets, finding old, abandoned 24x and 32x sprites by Dibujor and Obsidian Soul, both inactive since 2015. I thought that their sprites are too good to waste and started with them as a basis for a new tileset.”

The Meph tileset used Dfhack and TWBT.

The first complete 24×24 graphics set for ''Dwarf Fortress'', GemSet provides the aesthetics of ASCII and convenience of graphics.

Drawn natively in a 24×24 resolution for 1080p and 4K displays, GemSet uses a bright 32-color palette with the intention of keeping everything crystal-clear on even the highest-resolution displays. All profession graphics are color-coded according to their ASCII counterparts and black has been kept as the dominant color of the graphics set.

All creature graphics are finished and TWBT support is currently in-development.

A graphics set that focuses on consistency and stylized realism to harmonize the different tiles and give a more "medieval" atmosphere to the game. Unlike other tilesets, this also specifically sets aside different tiles for grass with modifications to their graphics raws. This makes it easier to distinguish pasturable areas from bare rock and sand, tell apart different biomes, as well as letting you plan green (or blue, if you're going with cave moss) gardens along your entrance halls. Just make sure to forbid traffic on it to avoid trampling them to bare ground.

Tergel is an ASCII tileset combined with simple pixel art. CowThing wanted to enhance the ASCII feel, while keeping the game readable, and give the game a happier feel. This tileset was derived from Simple Mood by Rogue Yun. Also inspired by Taffer, Jolly Bastion, Quale's "scroll-o-sprites", and many others.

That's it. Engraved ''Dwarf Fortress''.
The idea of this set arose after a series of experiments including noise application to other tilesets, and, in other hand, after 4 year study of art history. Resulting tileset looks like hand drawn graphics and engravings made in XV-XVI century or maps of same epoch.

Sharp looking, vanilla styled tilesets that strive to strike a good balance between nice, attractive graphics, while avoiding odd graphical oddities. I have positioned many tiles carefully and put a lot of thought into each one, often obsessively so. I find the cumulative differences from the ASCII add quite a bit to the game. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the update log attests to that, but the result is pleasing and well-polished. Alternate walls are included, as is the color set and racial graphics for dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds.

Last updated: Mar 11, 2020. The Meph tileset was the first graphical 32x32 tileset for ''Dwarf Fortress''. ”It was born from my research about tilesets, finding old, abandoned 24x and 32x sprites by Dibujor and Obsidian Soul, both inactive since 2015. I thought that their sprites are too good to waste and started with them as a basis for a new tileset.”

The first complete 24×24 graphics set for ''Dwarf Fortress'', GemSet provides the aesthetics of ASCII and convenience of graphics.

Drawn natively in a 24×24 resolution for 1080p and 4K displays, GemSet uses a bright 32-color palette with the intention of keeping everything crystal-clear on even the highest-resolution displays. All profession graphics are color-coded according to their ASCII counterparts and black has been kept as the dominant color of the graphics set.

All creature graphics are finished and TWBT support is currently in-development.

ForgottenBeet: Show images for a few sets that were hidden but not actually too wide

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Monoscii Lite is superior in every way, the information is denser, crisper and cleaner. pUrists will finally be one step closer to the most pUrist DF possible.

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

|comments=I like packing as much on the screen as I can, but 8×8 is just too crowded for 1920×1080 fullscreen. I intended to make a 10×10 version of Pastiche, but I had to make countless little changes to maintain visual consistency between the two sizes. I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because! Like Pastiche, Potash is a pure ASCII/CP437 font, suitable for use outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'' should you happen to find yourself stuck in 1985.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page].

|comments=Based on Marble Dice's tileset, above. Smoothed corners are "rounded", which takes some getting used to but look quite nice, in my opinion. I have managed to get all of the standard "L" tiles to fit together nicely, but "T" and "+" don't quite match up. It's not a problem that comes up often, and it still doesn't look that bad, but I'll get to it eventually.

Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

|comments=Hi res won't slow the game as it doesn't use graphics, so if your monitor can display it, go for it, really... I strongly recommend to enable blackspace in the init: [BLACK_SPACE:YES] Made from the 24pts cleartype lucida console above (from winterwing). I added some stuff (some original, some ideas taken from others tilesets). Basically I try to avoid symbols that are often seen in menus, etc. The main "problem" is the bag, because its the male symbol, but it was too good looking to not put it ;) Hope you enjoy :) . . .

ForgottenBeet: Use filename= parameter for remaining tilesets, so every set has a linkable title

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

I intended to make a 10×10 version of Pastiche, but I had to make countless little changes to maintain visual consistency between the two sizes. I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because! Like Pastiche, Potash is a pure ASCII/CP437 font, suitable for use outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'' should you happen to find yourself stuck in 1985.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

|comments=I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down-ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

I chose this font due to its readability at a low resolutions, and soon I'll convert some of the non-letter characters into actually objects like beds and dwarves, so keep a look out for an updated version that I'll add below.

|comments=Similar to [[Tileset_repository#Alloy|Alloy's conversion]], this is based on the default curses_800x600 tileset, converted to 12x12. I wrote a GIMP python plugin to add padding to bring each tile up to the required size, and then I manually tidied up the places where the images no longer went all the way to the edge of the tile. This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds.

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

ForgottenBeet: /* Sortable and collapsible tileset tables */ Approving comment

==Tilesets requiring edited raws==

I'm noticing more and more tilesets on the list which require edited raws, in most cases they require the raws from DFG. Shouldn't those be separated to prevent confusion among newbies? They are likely to try these tilesets with an unmodded DF and get frustrated. --[[User:Mikemayday|Mikemayday]] 00:07, 21 September 2009 (GMT)
:I agree, those heavily edited tilesets should be seperated, preferably with a link to the matching raws. --[[User:Pugi|Pugi]] 10:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks Mike for doing this, this explains some of the confusion I had with others (I knew yours required RAW mining, but not the others.) My only problem is that many of the others don't seem to have any explanation of which RAWs to change. Anyone know of any links? [[User:3lB33|3lB33]] 14:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I added a link to the [[Raw tile selector]] tool since a lot of these tilesets lack raws for newer versions of df. I hope this is okay. --[[User:Hermano|Hermano]] 16:23, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

== Mac user ==

Can these tilesets be used on a mac as well?

* Yes. I'm using them right now. --[[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 19:12, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

== Tiny tilesests ==

<blockquote>
''Sets smaller than 8x8. Used for playing in tiny windows, '''display of massive maps''' and perhaps videos.''
</blockquote>

I thought it wasnt possible to change the size of the map (number of tiles rendered on screen), am I wrong or does the author mean display of maps '''outside''' the game? --[[User:Mizipzor|Mizipzor]] 21:09, 4 November 2007 (EST)

:I imagine the only current use is in exporting bitmaps from the game. —[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 15:30, 14 November 2007 (EST)
::I've used one of 'em to hide a DF window on my work computer, and they're fun to use at 4x size,too. But yeah, they make real nice maps. --[[User:Maus|Maus]] 09:10, 18 December 2007 (EST)
:::Note that it's now possible to change the 80x25 in the init file.--[[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 19:13, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

Can anyone say PocketPC Dwarf Fortress? I imagine with a low popcap and a 3x3 or less area, it wouldn't be too bad on most PDAs out there. Now, if only someone would port the code... --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 20:40, 8 January 2008 (EST)

== Page Split ==

There are too many character sets on this one page, I propose splitting the page into twopages:
* one for 'classic' code page 437 fonts/glyph sets/character sets with no graphical characters whatsoever
* one for 'semigraphical' character sets which have one or more of the normal glyphs replaced with a df-specific graphic (a barrel instead of the division sign, for instance) - [[User:Lord Nightmare|Lord Nightmare]] 19:18, 9 December 2007 (EST)

:I disagree; there's no reason to split content into two different areas when it's already easily comparable and all in one place. --[[User:Maus|Maus]] 09:12, 18 December 2007 (EST)

== Why png? ==

If they all have to be resaved as bmp, why the heck are they uploaded as png? These are small files, you're not saving significant disk or bandwidth by keeping them in png. This is particularly irritating since I can't seem to get any of these to work even after resaving/converting them -.- --[[User:Nunix|Nunix]] 14:14, 20 February 2008 (EST)

:If you're not just renaming the files, then your problem isn't with the files being .png format. Making an exception to [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Community_Portal|Rule I]] would only cause confusion as there are many images that are quite large indeed. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 15:32, 20 February 2008 (EST)

::No, it's not just a rename, I'm going into GIMP and doing a Save as... The file size changes, so it's doing SOMETHING, but when I go to use the font the screen comes up blank (but if I hit down twice and enter, I still exit, so everything works, there's just no display.) I hadn't seen the style guide/list, however, so that's fair enough. I'll post on the message boards and see if I can troubleshoot there. --[[User:Nunix|Nunix]] 16:58, 20 February 2008 (EST)

:::Simple solution: Open the image in MSPaint and save as a 24-bit BMP. If you don't have Windows, then you should have enough computer savvy to do it in whatever program you choose.
:::Also, bmps cannot be uploaded to the wiki.
:::Furthermore, we do actually save significant page size. If those were all bitmaps, that would be a few megabytes, which is annoying to load. Converting to png makes it only a couple hundred kilobytes. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:59, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

== Length, and how we can decrease it ==

This page is the twelfth longest page in the wiki. Ten of the eleven pages longer than it are lists. It has forty tilesets, less than a third of which are at all good. This is obviously a problem – sludging through all forty of those is not at all fun and, for most of it, not at all useful. 
As a fix, I propose that we copy this page to "Full list of user character sets" and keep only the best fifteen (or maybe ten or maybe twenty) here. Of course, that brings up the difficult question "how do we determine which tilesets are best?" To determine that, we could try getting as many DF players as we can to tell us which tileset(s) they use. Of course, that would need some rules, a forum thread, etc. 
I'll write more about this later, assuming that some interest exists. The time is late and sleepiness impedes thought. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 00:53, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

:To solve [[User:Nunix|Nunix's]] '''Why png?''' problem and to determine the popularity, I suggest we upload all tilesets to [http://dffd.wimbli.com/index.php Dwarf Fortress File Depot] in .bmp format (so nobody have to convert images from .png anymore). Dwarf Fortress File Depot has download trackers for all its downloads. The end of the week, we can determine the 15 most popular based on the download count. Anybody interested can compare the download numbers and edit the 15 best list for the wiki anytime they feel like it to keep it updated often.
:The current tileset Template will need a '''download''' bit added to it as well. [[User:Plac1d|Plac1d]] 17:01, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

::That could work...
::*downloads his tileset fifty times*
::I don't think it would work at all. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:59, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

::What about making one sub page per tile set. Classify each with 'size', 'shape' and 'style'. Use categories to navigate. Have each character set include a 64x64 pixel chunk of the screen - of these, then use gallery tags to browse with links to the sub page. The why png and link and supporting information for downloads is not a bad idea, but given the small DF playing population, the downloads are likely to be very skewed and cutting off at 15 may remove some very good ones that people have already downloaded and don't see a need to download again. --[[User:Shagie|Shagie]] 17:52, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

:::I don't think that the tilesets & tileset descriptions are large enough to warrant that. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 22:59, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

Hmn. Perhaps, we could ask all the dwarves on this wiki to submit a list of their top 20 tilesets, roughly in order of preference. If we get consensus on the best ones, that could work. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 10:32, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

: What about splitting the tilesets into separate pages by size, e.g. a page for all 16x16s, another for 12x12s, etc? About favorite tilesets, I could barely name my favorite three, so I think picking a favorite 15 or 20 is a bit extreme, and I don't think we can rely on download counts or people just happening to vote, unless we specifically say that voting is going to determine something. '''So''', what do you think about this idea: First, ask forum-goers to nominate user character sets for archiving (removal to an archive page). Second, after the nomination period is over (say, a week), upload those to the file depot, link to the pages, and give forum-goers a month or so to vote down the character sets they want archived, and to vote up ones they don't want archived. At the end of that time we can check their ratings and archive the lowest-rated ones. --[[User:SL|SL]] 01:37, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

::I think that splitting the tilesets by size into subpages could be handy: Resolution is a key factor in determining usability of a tileset. For instance, I'd never need to use a 48x48 tileset by a user named "AAAAAAAAA", but in our current sorting system, that'd be the first one displayed on the page, for all to see. I must however raise a question about the direction this line of discussion has gone: Do we really want to prune content based on some standard of quality? If so, whose standard of quality? The problems with this page seem to arise from the fact that this page is unusual for a wiki: It's goal doesn't seem to be "disseminate information" as much as "Host tilesets for download". Which is a valuable service, granted, but an unusual shift for a wiki. This different focus in purpose should be considered before deciding to begin pruning. An excess of content and options is arguably a good thing.[[User:Teeto K|Teeto K]] 05:53, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Now that we have many different subsections here perhaps it's time we took those subsections into separate pages with this page as the central navigation point to those other pages? Would that help? It might be useful so that way each subsection can have whatever explanations are required here, thus important distinctions such as with the tilesets that need different RAWs will be noticed before someone dives into the repository. [[User:3lB33|3lB33]] 14:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

== Page name ==

<code>List of user character sets</code> is long and unnecessarily wordy. I propose <code>List of tilesets</code>. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 10:32, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
:Sounds like a good idea. Seconded. [[User:Isenhertz|Isenhertz]] 07:41, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

== New grid sizes ==

Will someone please explain to me how I can make a 960x300 (Markavian's) tileset work with the new grid sizes larger than 80:25? 96:60 used to work until I tried to us .40c, now it doesn't. --[[User:DDouble|DDouble]] 18:38, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
:Oops I had forgotten to change the size in the init to
[WINDOWEDX:1152]

[WINDOWEDY:720]

and

[GRID:96:60]
--[[User:DDouble|DDouble]] 18:41, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

== Problem with Fullscreen ==
I changed the fullscreen settings in my init to 1280x400 like Aesomatica's 16x16 tileset says, but every time I start DF it gives me a 'Mode changed failed, switching to windowed' error, with or without blackspace. How do I get it to run full? --[[User:KittenyKat|KittenyKat]] 16:27, 2 March 2009 (EST)

:Edit: Checking several different tilesets, for some reason none of them want to work fullscreen other than curses.. I'm wondering if I screwed something up, or if I still just need different measurements.. D: --[[User:KittenyKat|KittenyKat]] 17:20, 2 March 2009 (EST)

::Edit 2: Nevermind, I figured out the problem and now I just feel like a doofus for not recognizing it sooner :p To those who also end up with this problem, here is the solution: you have to set the fullscreen resolution to one your monitor can actually support. Matching the listed res is nice if it works cause it makes everything big and easy to see without stretching it if you have black space off, but if your monitor can't go to 400 Y for example, then you should just go to your current desktop res (in my case 1280x1024) and turn black space on.. Tweak to taste. I'm certain others can clarify this better, though :) --[[User:KittenyKat|KittenyKat]] 17:47, 2 March 2009 (EST)

== Tileset Transparency ==
So, I learned that 0.28.181.40d11 (And possibly earlier versions) supports png format files natively. I know that pngs support an alpha layer (transparency). I tested how transparency works in 40d11 and was quite pleased with the results. Basically, when you add an alpha layer to the png, the magenta color is no longer considered the 'transparent' color, but this allows you to add shading to the transparent color, like for barrels (which has a black normal color and a brown background color). So, white to black shades the normal color, alpha to black shades the background color. Just wanted to share! [[User:Belathus|Belathus]] 07:23, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
:I tried dabbling with this recently ("dabbling tileset artist" ftw!) but I haven't been able to get pngs to work at all. The game simply doesn't load. Is there a link to any discussions on the Bay12 forums about this? I tried searching but didn't find anything there [[User:3lB33|3lB33]] 15:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
::I see now what I was doing wrong. Belathus was referring to early release 11 which is part of an open-source project towards using OpenGL as the DF graphics engine, which should allow PNGs. They are now up to 16 now and the testing is being managed by [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349.405 Baughn on the forums]. Depending on the success of the testing, Toady One might put it into the next version, but people need to help test it. So go there and help dammit!! [[User:3lB33|3lB33]] 01:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

==Standard preview==
I can't seem to find it anywhere, but where is the fort many of you have been using for a standard preview? I'm talking about the one pictured in Lord Nightmare, Markavian, Zaratustra, and Herrbdog's previews. I feel a bit out of place with my tilesets and no direct means of comparison. --[[User:Kein|Kein]] 15:40, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

==Adding a date field==
Some of these entries are quite old, dating back to the ol' Boatmurdered days. Many more are based on the old classics, and generally say so, but right now it's hard to find the difference between a new entry and an old one. Someone, (ok, me) should find the date stamps on the graphics and add it to the description. Barring any objections, I'll start adding them tomorrow... --[[User:3lB33|3lB33]] 01:42, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== Request ==
I'm quite intrigued by the graphical 16x16 tilesets, such as Aesomatica's, but have one minor problem - my monitor only supports up to 1024x756, meaning that the 1280x400 resolution required is way too big for my monitor. Since I won't be able to get a larger monitor for a while yet, would it be possible to add in a section for 12x12 tilesets for the slightly smaller resolutions, or do you not think it's really worth it? --[[User:Libelnon|Libelnon]] 22:47, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

== d40 and DF2010 Split? ==

Should we just save what is here, and split off a new page for DF2010-compatible tilesets?--[[User:TarrVetus|TarrVetus]] 15:08, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't all of them be compatible? if not, there should definitely be a split. I've been trying to get some of the 16x16 tilesets to work on my laptop, but I haven't been able to find one that works, i think I've changed my init.txt correctly but I just get blurry crap on the intro video. (UTC)

:This may be a bug. There seems to be problems with tilesets in the initial release. I'd wait for the release to get some bugfixes before making a decision. It would be truly bizarre if Toady One changed the necessary inputs for changed tilesets. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 17:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Pink? ==

I uploaded a new tileset(Guybrush_square_16x16), but it messed up the colors, turning most stuff pink, them some things other colors. Anyone know how to fix this?
 
Its odd, I tried to do the same thing with one of my new tilesets and had the same issue. I had problems with a 16x16 tileset in the .png format, but DF interpreted it correctly after converting it to .bmp and using that instead. [[User:Coaldiamond|-Coaldiamond]] 22:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Edited Raws ==

Only a few of the tilesets In the "16×16 tilesets for edited raws" section explain exactly how the raws should be edited. Is there a standard set of "edited raws" or does each tileset have different requirements? Shouldn't those requirements be spelt our somewhere? As it stands I have no idea how to install most of these tilesets.

:Several of the tilesets use the edited raws of the [http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php mayday tileset], others will need specific raws - sadly information about this is often lacking.
:The edited raws for most of these tilesets are missing (at least for recent versions of df). If you want to use one of those tilesets you can edit the raws yourself with the [[Raw tile selector]]. There is still some work involved but it shouldn't be too bad. -- [[User:Hermano|Hermano]] 17:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

--[[User:Nagidal|Nagidal]] 11:11, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Not sure yet how I feel about the edit by [[User:Buddy|Buddy]] to group tilesets by size instead of by creator. It makes sense, but a side effect is that it removes the ability to provide someone elsewhere on the web a link to your tileset. Perhaps the best way to fix this is to introduce anchors to the tileset template, which I am looking at doing now...[[User:Cheepicus|Cheepicus]] ([[User talk:Cheepicus|talk]]) 19:10, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
:Okay, I added an optional "title" field to the tileset template that creates a permalink. [[Tileset_repository#cheepicus_8x8|Example]]. I'm not going to add titles to everyone's tilesets, at least for now.[[User:Cheepicus|Cheepicus]] ([[User talk:Cheepicus|talk]]) 20:33, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

== Enlarged curses_640x300.bmp ==

The tileset listed under (24×36) is the default tileset rescaled to 3x in an image editor. From what I see, this is the only tileset on the page with no signifigant edits. Not even something simple like changing the dwarf tile. Since tilesets like these can be made in a matter of seconds, should they be allowed? I propose removing this tileset and putting a note at the top of the page to dissuade people from posting simple resizes. --[[User:DragonDePlatino|DragonDePlatino]] ([[User talk:DragonDePlatino|talk]]) 21:20, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

== Uploading a tileset that isn't mine ==

So there's this tileset that I've been using for a long time called "Doodle". I wanted to link it to somebody, but as it turns out, it is no longer hosted on the forum [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=114070.0]], and the user who created it hasn't been active since 2013 either. I was wondering if there's a protocol for this? I'd hate to see the tileset disappear from the internet, but I don't know if I could just post a tileset here that I didn't create. Also I don't have a wiki account with the right permissions to do so.

ForgottenBeet: Fix references to Anikki's various tilesets

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

|comments=I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down-ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

|comments=Similar to [[Tileset_repository#Alloy|Alloy's conversion]], this is based on the default curses_800x600 tileset, converted to 12x12. I wrote a GIMP python plugin to add padding to bring each tile up to the required size, and then I manually tidied up the places where the images no longer went all the way to the edge of the tile. This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size. For people who like the 800x600 original tileset's look and size but want a square version of it.

|comments="FnordSet contributes a bold Roman font that takes advantage of the square tile. Baskerville served as the main model. This set was also inspired by (and borrows from) the bold geometry of Rogue Yun's Simple Mood and the seriffed grace of the Duerer set. It also draws inspiration from the Ishmeria tileset, which I think complements it nicely as text in TWBT. (Nowadays I use the nicely contrasting sans serif tileset Jecfox for the text font.)"

|resolution=1280×400
|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset. It has a more textured feel to the walls and makes heavy use of the new transparency features to make some of the tiles a little more dynamic. You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds.

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

ForgottenBeet: Move Fitmoos' 640x300 tileset to the right section; add their tiny set as well

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because! Like Pastiche, Potash is a pure ASCII/CP437 font, suitable for use outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'' should you happen to find yourself stuck in 1985.

You may like [[List_of_user_character_sets#Dorten|Dorten's revision]] more. The following is the original description: I dislike curses_640x300.bmp due to its lack of any kind of graphics for things like a bed or a barrel and the fact that it distorts my beautiful circles, so I made a similarish tileset to fix those.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermins swimming in a goblin's vomit... anyway i tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)
V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=This is a modified version of Mike Mayday's/Herrbdog's tileset.

You can view a preview map [http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-7000-dragonskull here]. I recommend changing the sky settings in the init.txt file to [SKY:249:1:0:0] for a more natural look.

Update June 11, 2010: Updated to work with the 31.xx versions of Mike Mayday's set. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress.

|comments=The original IBM MDA character set, dumped from addresses 0x0000-0x0fff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This font is as would be displayed on a real MDA card (use a black/dkgreen/ltgreen palette for full monochrome effect) or on an EGA/VGA card with the 9-pixel-width mode enabled. Best for a 72:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 720x480.

|comments=The IBM EGA character set, dumped from the 6277356 IBM EGA BIOS ROM. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode enabled. Best for a 72:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements. You can discuss the matter [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000645 here].

ForgottenBeet: Fix Fitmoos' Analfabetico font to have an image and proper description

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

This is ALMOST 100% IDENTICAL to the CGA thick font, but has minor modifications (23 pixels total) done to four characters: the capital 'S', the club sign, the spade sign, and the large asterisk (the one with a hole in the middle, char 0x0f, not the shift-8 one which is char 0x2a). There is no thin variant of this font. Best viewed at 8:5 aspect ratio.

I intended to make a 10×10 version of Pastiche, but I had to make countless little changes to maintain visual consistency between the two sizes. I finally gave up, called it a new font, and changed some more stuff just because! Like Pastiche, Potash is a pure ASCII/CP437 font, suitable for use outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'' should you happen to find yourself stuck in 1985.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

This ensures that the positioning of each image within each tile stays exactly the same as in the original tileset, but with a single pixel column added on both sides of the tile to bring it up to size.

I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). This is a scaled up version for fullscreen use. [http://www.anikki.com/share/df/Anikki_square_16x16.bmp Download the BMP]

The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

Taking the tileset I use (Kelora 16x16 diagonal) and doubling it, I was able to get a decent tileset. Smoothing the edges, and redoing some glyphs to get a better look (or just messing up some to bad to fix), I was able to achieve this.

=Square tilesets for edited raws=

:''If you cannot find the altered raws of a tileset for your version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' have a look at the [[Raw tile selector]] tool.''

These tilesets require modified [[raws]] to work properly. Specifically, the tile numbers assigned to some objects (critters, stones, plants) need to be changed and accented characters usually need to be removed from all languages.

So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermins swimming in a goblin's vomit... anyway i tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

|comments=The original IBM MDA character set, dumped from addresses 0x0000-0x0fff the 5788005 IBM Character Generator ROM. This font is as would be displayed on an EGA/VGA with the 9-pixel-width mode disabled. Best for a 64:35 aspect ratio. The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. The MDA card did not actually support displaying the font in 8x14, but ONLY 9x14 mode, see below. Theoretically, you CAN upload this font into EGA video memory though and use it.

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is different from the MDA version in that many characters are slightly narrower to avoid 'running into' each other, and many characters have been shifted slightly to the left.
Thanks to Zaratustra for poking me into getting this done, and for related help.

Updated new glyphs to be more consistent with the Fixedsys style. - v2.1 - update a few more glyphs, namely the integral, the infinity symbol, and the spade, and a few others I'm forgetting. - v2.2 - update the club and spade, and the music notes - v2.3 - fix the fact that 0xF9 and 0xFA were inadvertently swapped.

The required resolution is strange, so run fullscreen with BLACK_SPACE:YES and resolution at 640x480. This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements. You can discuss the matter [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000645 here].

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

|comments=Built from scratch, this ASCII tileset is made with two common 16:10 resolutions in mind. The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters. The manual anti-aliasing gives the set a nice and clean look. Transparent PNG support is needed for this one.

|comments=I liked the great Talryth square 15x15 very much! However dwarves tiles were a litlle bit out of the style, so I changed them to default-like ones. Also added background so the there is no more black background which with bright ASCII was hard to my eyes. Again thanks to Talryth for his amazing job!

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page].

There may have been a couple other minor changes, but the feel of the tileset should still be the same.

=Square tilesets for edited raws=

:''If you cannot find the altered raws of a tileset for your version of ''Dwarf Fortress'' have a look at the [[Raw tile selector]] tool.''

These tilesets require modified [[raws]] to work properly. Specifically, the tile numbers assigned to some objects (critters, stones, plants) need to be changed and accented characters usually need to be removed from all languages.

So my first try was to apply a solid background to all tiles of Talryth square tileset ( except few ones ), but it came out looking like a bunch of vermins swimming in a goblin's vomit... anyway i tried further and began to experiment with different base tilesets and finally made my own, using elements from tilesets of other authors ( mainly Tocky's one, big thanks to him! ). Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

This font is actually different from the 8x14 version in that 20 characters have been replaced with the original MDA wide versions. These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign. Other than these characters, all characters are the same, with rightmost-row duplicated on the C and D rows like the MDA (though I don't actually know if this is technically correct).

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements.

ForgottenBeet: Use new filename parameter for 9x9 images. All tile sets should eventually be updated so every one has a linkable title.

{{For/see|user-created graphic sets|[[Graphics set repository]]}}

{{Mod}}

A character set, or simply [[tilesets|tileset]], is an image in BMP or PNG format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Main:Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII). They are used to display the main graphics. This page serves as a repository for custom tilesets made by users, including instructions on how to install them.

==Background==

The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the "0", "g", and "f" characters (but with slight differences including the "0", "W", and "y"). The exact origin of the DF font is unknown.

==Installation==

To use a specific tileset with ''Dwarf Fortress'', you must perform the following steps:

# Download the tileset to your computer. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. ('''Right-Click''' on the tileset image and '''Save-As'''.)
# If necessary, convert the tileset to the correct image format for the version of DF you are using:
## ''For [[40d:Release information/0.28.181.40d|DF 0.28.181.40d]] or older:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''24-bit bitmap''' (BMP) if it isn't already in that format.
## ''For [[v0.31:Release information/0.31.01|DF 0.31.01]] or newer:'' open the file in an image editor and save it as a '''PNG''' with ''transparency'' if it isn't already in that format.
# Move/Copy the file to the DF art directory ({{tt|.../data/art}}).
# Edit the initialization configuration file ({{tt|.../data/init/init.txt}}) to specify the tileset file to use. There are four locations that can be changed:
## Specify the tileset for a windowed display by setting the filename in the '''[FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen display by setting the filename in the '''[FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a windowed graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Specify the tileset for a full-screen graphical display by setting the filename in the '''[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:''<filename>'']''' tag.
## Once you have made the changes you need to remember to save the file.

If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. What those changes are will depend on the tileset itself.

Once the file is saved and the required changes are made, you are ready to play DF with your new tileset!

Monoscii Lite is superior in every way, the information is denser, crisper and cleaner. pUrists will finally be one step closer to the most pUrist DF possible.

Changed most text characters as well as some others to 4x4 with blackspace to avoid tiling. Most characters have been revised to be spaced out to be more distinguishable in such a small set. After seeing the dev update earlier today about increasing your view size I decided to create this small font. This has been built completely from scratch, mostly while at work today. I may be making a shaded version in the future. The first image to the right is from the Abbeyverse succession game.

Updated 11/12/07 to de-fuzz uppercase letters, added serifs and clarified lowercase letters, made horizontal spacing consistent throughout character set, fixed one error in the double horizontal-left-right, single-vertical-up-down character, made exclamation points consistent, thinned out question mark and inverse question mark, sharpened sideways stemless arrows, clarified international characters, and clarified some Greek letters. Since v2.0: fixed 'i' 'g', fixed Yen symbol, fixed smiley 0x01 to not have an extra line to its right, lowered the period and colon characters, fixed position of 'x'. Thanks to Markavian for ideas on how to improve the font, as well as an occasional character glyph.

|comments=The "full size" version of Potash. I insist on using a square font to maintain sanity when judging sizes and distances, but I'm not a fan of how text usually looks with square glyphs -- the letters are either too wide, or spaced too far apart. I've tried balance those two flaws against each other as much as possible, and I think this font is very readable as a result. Nearly all the 10×10 glyphs have empty borders on all four sides, to prevent confusing (or just ugly) connections between adjacent tiles.

The odd tile size fills the above resolutions without artifacts and it gives an advantage in design, making for sharp features and equal spacing between characters.

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.

|comments=Unsatisfied with any existing tileset, I decided to go about creating my own. Since I can't create from scratch, I had to take tiles from other tilesets and modify them, in an evolution-like manner, until they became how I wanted them. Since most are dramatically different from the tileset I took them from, I believe I can call them original. In the raws, change the tag [TILE:'U'] for humans to [TILE:172]. This changes both the image and corpse of humans to a unique image, which creature graphics cannot do. The elves also get a different tile, [TILE:171]. I plan to make a separate goblin symbol. If you use it and like it, please leave a message for at [[User talk:Savok|my talk page]] or at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 the DFFD page]. This will greatly speed progress, since I won't be doing it just for myself. Note: The [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=201 DFFD version] is updated more frequently and has the changelist.

A special emphasis is placed on maximizing the text's readability, while still providing a "graphics enhanced" play area. Special thanks to Maus for the font, and Guybrush for the inspiration.

Then i have spotted Alexander's Jolly Bastion and took some ideas from him ( big thanks to Alexander too! ) like sky tiles and color. Then i applied Lee's Natural Color Scheme with modified "BLACK" value and here it is! Grim Fortress. It is pretty dark, kinda foggy and i think the name "Grim Fortress" fits well.

I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).
V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

These 'extra' wide characters are sandwiched in between the end of the 8x14 and beginning of the 8×8 font in the EGA BIOS ROM. The changed characters, in ASCII order, are: arrow-left-and-right, '"', '+', '-', 'M', 'T', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'm', 'v', 'w', 'ae', cent sign, yen, peseta, plus-minus, and division sign.

|comments=Designed for fullscreen. Inspired by Herrbdog's tileset, I created a shaded tileset targeting the default fullscreen 800x600 resolution. Basicaly, you have the exact same "curses" default tileset but with some shading done to the lower right of each letters and items. I've left alone everything which was related to mining or was meant to be plain, for example the smoothered tiles and the plain tiles in the demo. The reason behind that is that I didn't find much logic to have those graphics shaded as they could possibly connect on any direction on the screen, which would make the shading a little strange. Please note that this tileset is only a "beta". I might work on it again if there is enough people who like it and would like improvements. You can discuss the matter [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000645 here].

ForgottenBeet: Add a filename parameter, default title and image to use it. Makes it easy for all images to have a meaningful, consistent title (anchor name) to link to.

It is best to specify <code>filename=tileset.png</code>, and leave <code>title</code> and <code>image</code> unspecified, in most cases.

Output:

{{Tileset|
|filename=Herrbdog_16x16_tileset.gif
|title=herrbdog_16x16
|image=[[File:Herrbdog_16x16_tileset.gif]]
|author=[[User:Herrbdog|Herrbdog]]
