Tetrahedrite

'''Tetrahedrite''' is an incredibly common [[ore]] of both [[copper]] and [[silver]]. [[Smelter|Smelting]] tetrahedrite will produce 4 copper [[bar]]s and 0-4 silver [[bar]]s*. On average, each nugget of tetrahedrite will produce less than one bar of silver when smelted.

: * There is a separate 20% chance for each of the 4 silver bars being produced. This works out to be an <u>average</u> of 0.8 silver bars each time a unit of tetrahedrite is smelted, with "no bars" or "1 bar" being equally common (40.96% of the time), 2 bars not uncommon (15.36% of the time), and 3 or 4 uncommon but not impossible (2.56% and 0.16%, respectively).

Tetrahedrite can also be used in [[alloy]] reactions requiring either a copper-bearing ore or a silver-bearing ore, but will only be used as a ''silver'' ore if no other silver ores are available. Two tetrahedrite nuggets can be smelted together as a copper-bearing ore and a silver-bearing ore to make eight [[billon]] bars for a roughly 70% increase in value compared to smelting the nuggets independently.

When using tetrahedrite as a copper-bearing ore, it's often best to smelt it into bars first and then use those copper bars to create the alloy. This allows you to produce some [[silver]] bars in addition to the bars of alloy, but does require additional [[fuel]] and time. A clear exception to this is when producing [[billon]] from two tetrahedrite nuggets, when the benefits of using tetrahedrite as a silver-bearing ore outweigh the drawbacks of using tetrahedrite as a copper-bearing ore.

==Understanding the value chain==
A single tetrahedrite boulder (seen in-game as simply "tetrahedrite", laying on the floor as a byproduct of [[miner|mining]]) has a [[Item value|value]] of 9 (3 for being a stone boulder, times 3 for it being tetrahedrite).

This boulder can be smelted into 4 bars of copper, each having a value of 10 (5 for being bars, times 2 for them being made of copper), for a total of 40, and a random amount of 0 to 4 bars of silver (mean being 0.8), each having a value of 50 (5 for being bars, times 10 for them being made of silver). So each single tetrahedrite boulder gives you a (mean) value of 80 in copper and silver bars.

Each bar can be then [[Forge|forged]] into items, like a [[battle axe]]. A copper battle axe will have a value of 68 (34 for being a battle axe, times 2 for being made of copper), thus the original tetrahedrite boulder will yield a total value of 544 (272 from the 4 copper battle axes, plus 272 as a mean of the possible silver battle axes, each worth 340). And this can be multiplied up to 12x since battle axes have [[quality]] levels.

'''Petitions''' are formal demands from foreign entities, be they single [[visitor]]s or [[army|armies]]. They may range from relatively mundane to dramatic with far-ranging consequences to your fort. Petitions are distinct from [[diplomat]]ic agreements with other [[civilization]]s, such as the tree-cutting quota with [[elves]], or peace treaties.

Petitions may be delivered by a foreign petitioner meeting with your [[mayor]] at their [[office]], or they may be more abstract. In both cases, a blinking 'P' will appear on the game screen, indicating that one is pending and awaiting review by the player. It is not possible to consult the petitions screen if none are pending.

There are currently six kinds of petitions:

*Petition for [[Long-term resident|long-term residency]] by a passing [[visitor]]; stating the purpose of their stay (entertainment, soldiering, study, or slaying monsters) which you are free to accept or not. If you do, they will reside at your [[tavern]] and will not do any other labors than those they were intent on doing.

*Petition for [[citizenship]] by a long-term resident, usually after living in the fort for two years or so (mercenaries and monster slayers do not ever request citizenship). Accepting the petition turns the resident into a full-fledged citizen of your fort, the same as your dwarves, and their labor preferences can be assigned.

*Petition for an [[artifact]] by a passing [[quester]]. If you accept, a job will be created to deliver the artifact to the visitor, who will then leave. Otherwise, they may do one of the following: turn hostile, leave and sneak back in to attempt to steal it, or report back to the entity they represent, with possible adverse consequences for your fort in the form of a [[siege]].

*Petition for parley by an invading [[army]]. This one is delivered abstractly (presumably at shouting distance). The army will camp at the edge of the map, waiting for your response (they will attack if ignored for too long). If you accept, a dwarf will be sent out for the parley, which will inevitably involve the surrender of an artifact that you failed to give to a [[quester]] previously. The parley is fair: the army will not betray you and attack anyway if you give in to their demand, and even if you do not, they will give the herald sufficient time to retreat back to your fortress before they attack.

*Petition for a [[temple]] or [[guildhall]]: If you have a large number of dwarves worshiping the same god, or members of a guild, they may request that you construct them a meeting location ({{K|i}} - {{K|m}}) with enough [[Room#Quality|value]] to be considered a Guildhall or Temple (2000☼). Accepting the petition will give these dwarves a positive [[thought]], while rejecting it will give a negative thought. Building a guild hall after accepting it will give them another positive thought.

*Petition for a grand guildhall: Similarly to the previous one, once a large number of dwarves are members of a guild, they may request to upgrade their guildhall to a grand guillhall (10000☼). Again, accepting and fulfilling the petition will give the dwarves positive thoughts, while rejecting it will give them a negative thought.

*Petition for a [[priest]]: Once you have a large number of dwarves worshiping at a temple or shrine, they will request a specially-designated priest for that location - the priest must be chosen from among that temple's members.

Currently, there is no way for the player to review petitions to which they have agreed (or denied), without the use of a third-party tool like DFHack's ''[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html#list-agreements list-agreements]''.

'''Fairies''' are a type of [[fanciful]] above-ground [[vermin]] that live in [[good]] areas. They, alongside [[pixie]]s, are the only intelligent vermin in the game, though they can't be interacted with on the basis of being vermin. When encountered in [[adventure mode]], they will glow in the dark. They possess a [[pet]] value of 10. As they possess the VERMIN_NOTRAP token, they cannot be captured by placing [[animal trap]]s, but they can still be trapped using the ''catch live land animal'' task.

Despite their description, they do not actually have wings at all, let alone lacy ones (though they can still fly, even without them). A comment in their raws implies [[Main:Toady One|Toady]] plans to eventually give them lacy wings.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] fairies for their ''lacy wings'' and their ''babylike giggles''.

Mocha2007: /* Captured Fairy */

== Recent edits ==

Thanks for helping clean up the wiki! Are you using AWB or something similar? (That's fine, by the way.) One little thing to note - it looks like you changed [[40d:string dump]], which is a dump of all of the strings that appeared in the 40d executable (hopefully). The duplicate "the" should definitely be there, and while the typos are unfortunate, they should probably remain too. Anyway, nice work! —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 21:13, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Exactly how did you [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Fairy&curid=31312&diff=266137&oldid=256549 capture the fairy]? They still hav the VERMIN_NOTRAP token and the description for that states "The creature cannot be caught in baited animal traps; however, a "catch live land animal" task may still be able to capture one if a dwarf finds one roaming around." If it was in a "catch live land animal" job then the Fairy page should clarify that instead. [[User:Ziusudra|Ziusudra]] ([[User talk:Ziusudra|talk]]) 02:35, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

}}
'''Cheese''' is a [[food]] item made from [[milk]] at the [[farmer's workshop]] with the [[cheese making]] labor. It can be eaten as is or cooked into [[prepared meal]]s.

A single "Make cheese" job will take a barrel of milk to the workshop and produce several stacks of cheese of size 5 or less - for example, a barrel containing 17 units of milk will produce 3 stacks of 5 cheese and 1 stack of 2 cheese.

A container of frozen milk will, obviously, not be made into cheese.

The milk of any milk-producing animal can be converted to cheese. With the exception of dwarven cheese, which is made from [[dwarven milk]], all cheeses are priced at the value of 10☼.

Counter-intuitively, while milk in a barrel won't rot, cheese outside of a food [[stockpile]] will.

{{D for Dwarf}}
You are likely acquainted with the dwarven fondness for cheese, but did you know that a dwarf actually invented cheese? She was trying to ferment milk and turn it into a new kind of alcohol, and was quite surprised when she ended up with something else entirely.
That's why the dwarven word for cheese is 'shokmug.' She was '''sho'''c'''k'''ed that it couldn't be drunk from a '''mug'''. Meanwhile, the goblin word for cheese is 'ursus', which is a [[Grizzly bear|whole]] [[Black bear|new]] [[Panda|can]] [[Sloth bear|of]] [[Polar bear|worms]].

Some humans have divined a positive correlation between possessing an enormous amount of cheese and enormous amount of friends.

World generation

2022-08-19T21:37:40Z

Mocha2007: Maine and the moon aren't nearly similar in size... lol x)

{{Quality|Masterwork|15:09, 18 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
{{buggy}}

To begin playing, you must first '''generate a world''' to play in. At the main menu, you can choose to:

* {{DFtext|Create New World!}}, or
* {{DFtext|Design New World With Advanced Parameters}}

[[File:worldgen_medium.png|thumb|250px|right|A medium-sized generated world.]][[File:worldgen_large.png|thumb|250px|right|A large-sized generated world.]]This article will cover basic world generation using the first option. (''For advanced parameters, see'' '''[[advanced world generation]]'''.)

World generation can take a long time and may seem like a nuisance, but it is the actual heart of the game. This is where [[Main:Toady One|Toady]] invests most of his time, this is the [http://www.moma.org/collection/works/164920 piece of art] that makes ''Dwarf Fortress'' unique enough for the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. While you wait for the counter to finish, an entire fantasy world with unique geography, history, and even language is created. Entire civilizations rise, wage war, fall, rise again, and fall. Countless characters, each with a unique appearance and personality, live their lives, some of them calmly, while others go out and influence history. The world's complexity could rival the works of Tolkien himself. ''Dwarf Fortress'' is not only a game, it is a gigantic fantasy world simulator. [[Fortress mode|Fortress]] and [[adventurer mode|Adventurer]] modes allow you to influence a tiny part of that tale and write your own chapter; one chapter in an enormous bookshelf.

== Basic world generation menu ==

The basic world generation menu looks like this:

[[File:BasicWorldGen.png]]

=== Parameters ===

Each of the parameters is described below:

==== World size ====
"This controls the size of the world map" as it says at the bottom of the screen when this option is highlighted, including the dimensions of the world that will be generated given the currently selected size. Using basic world generation, the size options are:

* Pocket (17×17 region tiles)
* Smaller (33×33)
* Small (65×65)
* Medium (129×129)
* Large (257×257)

Each region tile corresponds to 16×16 local area blocks of 48×48 [[tile]]s each.

Setting this to a larger value will cause world generation to take longer, as more events will need to be calculated per step. Selecting bigger worlds will reduce the [[Frames per second|framerate]] (update speed) of the game in fortress mode, so selecting small or smaller worlds is recommended.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"

!width="80"| Medium
!width="80"| Large
|-
! Forgotten beasts
| 12
| 27
| 75
| 243
| 867
|}

==== History ====

[[File:history_gen.gif|thumb|right|278px|Animation of the world and history being developed.]]"This is the (maximum) length of pre-generated history." The number of years for the currently selected length will be shown in the lower right. A longer history allows more time for civilizations to grow, attack each other, and starve to death before the player can start playing. It also determines the amount of time that [[megabeast]]s will have to roam and kill things, get killed, etc. The longer the history, the more historical events will be generated by the time gameplay begins.

Note that history generation can be interrupted and the world saved far short of the selected history value. (Players might choose to do so if they are trying to reach a certain [[Calendar#Ages|age]], if they want to embark near a [[Tower (necromancy)|tower]], or if worldgen has slowed to a crawl, for instance). The actual length of history generation determines the details of the world; the history configuration setting only establishes a maximum year at which generation will stop automatically.

Longer histories will cause world generation to take longer, both because there are more years of events and because there tend to be more events in subsequent years. Conversely, shorter histories will take much less time to generate, but may limit some features (civilization size, sites, knowledge, historical artifacts, and necromancer towers).

Longer histories will also increase the number of abandoned (sacked) towns and fortresses, which can matter for adventure mode, but conversely, doesn't matter that much for fortress mode. The recommended values for worlds you plan to use for adventure mode are Short or Medium.

History will still progress after world generation, concurrently with normal gameplay, but this will, of course, be much slower (around two weeks per session start, in either fortress or adventurer mode). Therefore, it is recommended to set the history length so that the number of sites, megabeasts, and historical events is roughly what one wants it to be during gameplay.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="text-align:center;"

|-
! Years
| 5
| 125
| 250
| 550
| 1050
|}

The youngest world possible to generate is 2 years old. This can be done through custom world-gen parameters.

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

==== Number of civilizations ====

This controls the number of distinct civilizations that exist in a world. Civilizations are [[Dwarf|dwarves]], [[human]]s, [[goblin]]s, [[kobold]]s and [[Elf|elves]].

It should be noted that this refers to different kingdoms of the same races. A smaller number of civilizations (smaller than 5 - 7) may exclude one or two races from your world, but fewer civilizations will reduce history generation time, while larger numbers of civilizations would increase history generation time and make historical events happen much more often.

The maximum amount of civilizations is affected by the world size. At higher numbers (> 40) humans, kobolds and elves are more frequent than dwarves and goblins.

==== Maximum number of sites ====

This affects the maximum number of [[Advanced_world_generation#Site_cap_after_civ_creation|new sites]] such as [[town]]s, [[hamlet]]s, [[forest retreat]]s, etc. existing civilizations can expand to during world generation combined. New sites increase the maximum amount of members of the civilization founding the site.

High site numbers increase the duration of history generation by a huge amount of time.
With very low site numbers only the civilization's home settlements may exist after a few years of history with a high probability of getting eradicated by some event.

Turning this up is advised for adventure mode games.

The total amount of sites is affected by the selected world size.

==== Number of beasts ====

This controls the number of [[megabeast]]s, [[semi-megabeast]]s and [[titan]]s that exist at the beginning of the world. They can later die (get killed) due to historical events, so the longer the history, the more likely some of them will die.

The number of beasts does not appear to impact how often your fortress will be attacked by beasts in [[fortress mode]]. In [[adventure mode]], it means it will be easier to find more megabeasts. If set very low, then you may actually run out of beasts during a game.

Since beasts can attack civilizations, more beasts may reduce the population of the world a little bit. The total amount of beasts is affected by the selected world size:

|}
*Read numbers as: Megabeasts // Semi-megabeasts // Titans

==== Natural savagery ====

Increasing this value increases the number of [[Surroundings#Savage|savage]] [[biome]]s in the world. In short, this means that more areas are likely to have aggressive animals which may try to kill dwarves immediately upon embark, and attack adventurers more often while traveling.

New players may want to just leave this at the Medium setting (which isn't that hard) or set it lower. Turn this up to make the game more [[losing|fun]].

==== Mineral occurrence ====

This is a rather important parameter for [[fortress mode]]. Sparse means that many areas will only have one or two types of metal ore, if any, which could be very annoying to people until the economy is fully (re)implemented and other metals can more easily be obtained via trade. New players should probably turn this up to Frequent. See [[Advanced_world_generation#Mineral_Scarcity|Mineral Scarcity]] for more details.

In [[adventure mode]] this can impact the types of metals that civilizations have access to, which can then in turn affect the types of items that are available in shops. Therefore, it may not be a bad idea to turn this up for worlds in which you plan to play [[adventure mode]] games.

== The generation process ==

Once you're satisfied with your parameter selections, hit {{k|y}} to proceed.

The screen will show something like this:

[[File:WorldGenerationScreen.png]]

The name of the world will be randomized in basic world generation mode.

=== Rejections ===

You may notice that during various phases of the world generation process, worlds will be rejected, leading to the rejection count going up and the process starting over. This happens because certain factors, such as the number of mountain tiles, can't be determined ahead of time by the generation process. Instead, worlds are generated with parameters which are likely to produce worlds that can support a required number of mountains, and are then checked to make sure they meet the criteria. For example, the random generation of the topography of the land may result in too few high-elevation areas to place mountains.

In practice, you don't need to worry about this for basic world generation, because the preset hidden values that determine acceptable criteria are designed to decrease the chance of rejections, but certain combinations of basic parameters (especially with very large worlds) may make it harder for the process to generate "acceptable" worlds. Basically, what this amounts to is that world generation will just take longer for certain parameter selections that are more difficult for the generator to satisfy.

=== Map generation ===

[[File:resources_worldgen.png|thumb|300px|right|Location and resources section of the screen.]] First ''Dwarf Fortress'' generates the map topography. This process is generally much faster than history generation (unless you've specified parameters that lead to constant map rejections).

In an interview{{cite|gamasutra|https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/343859/}}, [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] described map generation:

:"It allocates the memory for the map. Then it chooses what sort of pole (e.g. north, south) it is going to have (or respects the parameters fed by the player, throughout.) The basic map field values (elevation, rainfall, temperature, drainage, volcanism, wildness) are seeded along a grid of variable size, respecting various settings (oceans, island sizes, other variances, etc.), and then filled in fractally. The poles vary the temperature, and it selects some points for the highest peaks. Here it does a first pass to see how it is doing, and attempts to adjust some altitudes to fit the map within the desired parameters if it missed. The world can be rejected at this point if it is unfixable, and it tries again.

:The first derived field, vegetation, is then set based on elevation, rainfall, temperature, etc., and it tests for [[biome]] rejections if the map's biomes don't satisfy the ranges set in the parameters. The mid-level elevations are smoothed at this point to make more plains areas, and volcanoes are placed respecting the hot spots in the volcanism field.

:Then we enter the erosion and river stage. Small oceans are dried out, and it locates edges of mountain sides where it can run test rivers. It also places the camera on one of these so the player can watch the process. Many fake rivers flow downward from these points, carving channels in the elevation field if they can't find a path to the sea. Extreme elevations differences are often smoothed here so that everything isn't canyons. Ideally we'd use mineral types for that, but we don't yet. Lakes are grown out at several points along the rivers.

:Elevations are smoothed again from the mountains down to the sea, and the peaks and volcanoes do some local adjustments. Now that the elevations are finalized, it makes adjustments to rainfall based on rain shadows and orographic precipitation. Temperatures are reset based on elevation and rainfall and the dampening effects of forests, and it uses the new values to set the vegetation level one final time. Salinity values are set for the ocean and tiles neighboring the ocean.

:Now that everything has settled down, we can detect the limits of the final biome regions and give them names and their own identity. We also add the geological layers and the underground layers here, though the geological stuff should really be earlier, as previously mentioned. There's a final verification process against the parameters here, to make sure it hasn't drifted too far afield from what the player wanted. Once that's done, it generates the initial wildlife populations in each region, and sets some weather variables."

[[File:worldgen_screen.png|thumb|350px|center|An entire world generation screen.]]

=== History ===

After generating the world, ''Dwarf Fortress'' will generate a history for that world, tracking civilizations, sites, populations, and other events. This can take a ''very'' long time for large, heavily populated worlds with very long, 2,000-year histories. History generation can be interrupted and the world saved before reaching the maximum year selected on the configuration menu.

In an interview{{cite|gamasutra}}, [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] described history generation:

:"History itself can begin at this point. Civilizations and caves are placed. It's a bit complicated to go into what happens after that, but the basic idea is that there's a giant zero-player strategy game going on with somewhat loose turn rules and bad AI (but thousands of agents), and history is just a record of that. Procedurally generating stories by recording a log of a simulation is a valid enough approach, though it has drawbacks, of course. It's a lot of work, you need to do post-processing or investigation to find any good moments you'd like to highlight, and if you don't have enough dynamics and mechanisms, the output can be boring (in any number of ways.)"

=== Finishing ===

Once everything is complete, you can take a look around using the directional [[controls|keys]]. (Using {{k|Shift}}+directional key will make this faster.) If you find yourself confused about what all the characters actually mean, you are not alone - check out the [[map legend]]. At this point you can either abort the process, or hit {{k|Enter}} to save the world to disk.

Unfortunately, the post-generation-process viewer doesn't give you a way to view much information about the world, so unless you really hate the look of the map or something, you probably want to just save the world and load it up in [[Legends]] mode to view more information.

== Getting more advanced ==

At first you will probably be satisfied with basic world generation, but later you may find that you want to create worlds with specific, more extreme conditions - check out the documentation on [[advanced world generation]] for help with this.

== Easter Eggs ==

* On the 86th rejected world an error report will appear with four options, this is in reference to the term "86ing" something, which is defined in the Urban Dictionary as "To remove, end usage, or take something out or away." <sup>[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=86]</sup>

== Bugs ==

* Magma sea breaching into [[HFS]]{{bug|1791}}
* Anti-Gravity Ants - Floating ant hills above river{{bug|3054}}

== Trivia ==
* The maximum size of the world is comparable to that of the state of Minnesota.

{{D for Dwarf}}
It is universally known that the world is flat. Anyone who says otherwise has to be [[Unfortunate accident|treated with magma]].

[[File:clay_pots_sm.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Clay goods]]The '''ceramic industry''' produces a variety of goods used for [[Finished goods|trade]], [[Container|storage]], [[block|construction]]s, and [[decoration]] in support of a [[fortress]]. Although the industry produces a fairly limited variety of goods when compared to others, ceramic goods are naturally worth three to ten times the [[Item value|value]] of similar goods made from common [[Stone industry|stone]] or [[Wood industry|wood]], making them a lucrative option for wealth creation. Ceramic goods are divided into three distinct categories (called wares) based on the raw materials used. [[Earthenware]] items are produced from generic [[clay]], [[stoneware]] from [[fire clay]] and [[porcelain]] from the stone [[kaolinite]]. In order to ensure watertight [[earthenware]] containers ([[jug]]s and [[large pot]]s), as well as to increase overall item value, [[earthenware]] items require an additional production step called [[Glazer|glazing]]. The ceramics industry also produces [[gypsum plaster]] which is critical for dwarven [[healthcare]]. [[Pearlash]], a critical production material for the [[glass industry]], is also created as a crossover material from the ceramic industry.

All '''ceramic goods''' are produced by a '''[[potter]]''' at a '''[[kiln]]''' which requires a [[fuel]] source. Regardless of material category, the specific goods that can be produced are: [[jug]]s, [[large pot]]s, [[block|bricks]] (clay blocks), [[statue]]s, [[craft]]s, and [[hive|beehives]]. [[Gypsum plaster]] and [[pearlash]] are also created at a kiln, but use the [[furnace operator]] instead of the potter labor.

== Industry requirements: resources, facilities, and labor ==
* Resources: [[Clay]], [[Fire clay]], [[Kaolinite]], [[Ash]] (from [[Wood]]), [[Cassiterite]], and [[fuel]]
* Facilities: [[Kiln]] or [[Magma kiln]], [[Wood furnace]]
* Labors: Item [[hauling]], [[Potter]], [[Furnace operator]], [[Glazer]], [[Mining]] (for Porcelain / fuel), [[Wood cutting]] (for fuel).
* Crossover industry requirements: [[Gypsum plaster]] stone: [[gypsum]], [[alabaster]], [[selenite]], or [[satinspar]]; [[Potash]] (for Pearlash)

== Categories of ceramic wares ==
=== Earthenware ===
[[Earthenware]] ceramics are made using generic [[clay]] which can be collected from any generic clay [[soil]] tile using the clay collection [[activity zone]], which are typically the most abundant and readily available ware type. Earthenware items have a base value of {{money|3}} (equivalent to the highest value stone - [[obsidian]]). Earthenware items are '''not''' waterproof, and as such require a finishing step of [[Glazer|glazing]] should the intended final use require liquid storage. Glazing can also be used to increase the value of the item. Glazed earthenware products can take a considerable toll on your wood resources, in particular if you are using wood for fuel as well as the glazing material (ash).

=== Stoneware ===
[[Stoneware]] ceramics can only be made from [[fire clay]], which is a fairly rare type of [[soil]]. As with generic clay, fire clay is collected using the clay collection [[activity zone]]. Stoneware items have a base value of {{money|4}}. They do not require glazing in order to be waterproof.

=== Porcelain ===
[[Porcelain]] ceramics can only be made from [[kaolinite]], a dark red [[magma-safe]] [[stone]] which may be found in large clusters in sedimentary layers. It must be [[mining|mined]] rather than collected, making it a finite resource, (similar to [[crystal glass]] as used in the [[glass industry]]). Porcelain items have a value multiplier of 10x (equivalent to [[silver]].) Porcelain items are naturally waterproof (do not require glazing). While the stone itself is magma safe, porcelain blocks are not.

=== Gypsum plaster ===
[[Gypsum plaster]], while technically not a direct product of the ceramic industry, is produced at a [[kiln]], and can be included in your ceramic industry layout. Gypsum plaster is used to create casts, which are used for [[healthcare]] as an alternative to making and using splints. Gypsum plaster can be created from any of the following stone types: [[gypsum]], [[alabaster]], [[selenite]], or [[satinspar]]. The stone, along with an empty bag, must be brought to a kiln where a [[Furnace operator]] will pulverize the raw stone and place the plaster powder into the bag for storage.

== Earthenware production ==
=== Clay collection ===
[[File:Earthenware Only.jpg|Thumb|right|400px|]]
Earthenware ceramics require generic clay as the basic raw material. There are several types of soil that provide clay, including [[clay]], [[clay loam]], [[sandy clay]], and [[silty clay]]. To collect clay, you will need to do the following:
# Use the [[Activity zone]] ({{k|i}}) function and select an area of soil (preferably in a secure, underground area) that contains clay, then select {{k|c}} to ensure that the zone is designated for clay collection.
# Ensure that at least one dwarf has the [[Hauling#Item hauling|item hauling]] labor enabled, which is the labor required to collect clay from a zone.
# Select a [[Kiln]] and issue a clay collection order. If you plan on producing a lot of items, it is a good idea to set this order on repeat.
As long as at least one tile of clay is available on your fortress map, you will be able to harvest clay infinitely. Collected clay appears as a boulder (similar to stone boulders) and does not use containers for storage or transport. Once harvested, the collecting dwarf will haul the clay to an appropriate [[stockpile]], if available. If there are no suitable [[stockpile]]s, the clay will be left at the collection site.

==== Firing clay ====
Earthenware items are produced at a [[kiln]] by a dwarf with the [[potter]] [[labor]] enabled. Select the kiln and then designate the item to be made. There is no requirement to first create items on a potters wheel, so it is assumed that your potter hand throws the items to be made and places them directly into the kiln for firing, which strengthens and hardens the item. Kilns require a [[fuel]] source, whereas [[magma kiln]]s can produce all items using [[magma]] as the fuel. A standard [[kiln]] will consume one unit of [[fuel]] per job. (For a discussion of fuel sources, see the [[fuel industry]].)

=== Glazing ===
[[File:Glazing only.jpg|Thumb|right|400px|]]
[[Glaze|Glazing]] is a process that covers a selected ware with a substance that, when re-fired, results in a glassy, non porous coating which serves to protect the ware, make it impermeable to liquids, and to enhance its visual appeal. Earthenware must be re-fired with a glaze material (or medium), of which there are two types, [[ash]] and [[cassiterite]] to produce a completed glazed product. Earthenware ceramic containers must be glazed in order to hold [[water]] or more importantly [[booze]] and [[oil]]. Glazing also increases the value of the items, the amount determined by the type of glaze medium used. Glaze mediums are applied at a kiln to [[jug]]s, [[statue]]s, [[large pot]]s, and [[craft]]s made from either stone or ceramics, by a [[glazer]]. Earthenware items re-fired in a kiln with 1/150th of a bar of [[ash]] produce [[ash glaze]]d items which adds {{money|50}} to the items value, though a full bar is required to start the job. Earthenware items re-fired with boulders of [[cassiterite]] produce [[tin glaze]]d items which adds {{money|100}} to the items value. [[Cassiterite]] is an ore which, when smelted, produces [[tin]], and is typically rare, and usually cannot be purchased from caravans. Bars of tin cannot be used to make tin glazes. Note that glazes are not products in themselves, you do not make a glaze and then apply it to the ware. It is effectively a unique (to ceramics and some stone items) form of item decoration.

[[File:Ash Only.jpg|Thumb|left|400px|]]

==== Production of glaze medium ====
* [[Ash]] bars are produced by a [[wood burner]] at a [[wood furnace]] using the logs of felled [[tree]]s.
* [[Cassiterite]] is an [[ore]] of [[tin]], collected by [[mining]]. It is typically rare, and when present, is used to support the [[metal industry]].
{{clear}}

== Stoneware production ==
[[File:Stoneware Only.jpg||Thumb|right|400px|]]
=== Fire clay collection ===
Stoneware is notable in that it can only be made from [[fire clay]]. The collection of fire clay is done in exactly the same manner as regular clay collection.

=== Firing fire clay ===
Stoneware items are produced by firing them at a [[kiln]] by a dwarf with the [[potter]] [[labor]] enabled. Kilns require a [[fuel]] source, whereas [[magma kiln]]s can produce all items using [[magma]] as the fuel.
{{clear}}

== Porcelain production ==
[[File:Porcelain only.jpg||Thumb|right|400px|]]
=== Kaolinite collection ===
The stone [[kaolinite]] must be mined and collected as with other stone resource gathering. It appears dark red in color, and is a sedimentary stone found in large clusters. The presence of kaolinite and wood or [[bituminous coal]] (for fuel) in abundance can result in rapid (sometimes <del>too rapid</del> lots of [[fun]]) wealth generation for a fortress. If you do not have any [[kaolinite]] readily available, you may be able to procure some through [[trading]]. Check with your [[outpost liaison]] and request the stone. They probably won't bring a lot, but it will give you something to work with.

=== Firing porcelain ===
Porcelain items are produced at a [[kiln]] by a Dwarf with the [[potter]] [[labor]] enabled. Kilns require a [[fuel]] source, whereas [[magma kiln]]s can produce all items using [[magma]] as the fuel.

== Ceramic industry output ==
*'''Jugs and Large Pots:''' Given that there is considerable work required to use [[earthenware]] jugs and large pots for liquid storage (i.e. glazing), it is reasonable to question their utility. One consideration for their use would be the consideration of item [[weight]]. Earthenware is the lightest of the three -ware types with a [[density]] of 1360, which is much less than almost every type of stone, and all three types of glass (2600). [[Jet]] (stone) is the exception, as its density is just below that of earthenware (1320). The lightest normal (not [[adamantine]]) metal is [[aluminum]] at 2700. Large pots used for [[booze]] storage are typically hauled all over your fortress, so the lighter and thereby faster they are, the more efficient they become. So the extra effort of producing glazed earthenware large pots will result in the largest, and effectively lightest liquid containers, (unless, of course, you have gobs of adamantine to spare.)
*'''Crafts:''' The ceramic industry is one of the few industries that does not benefit from a nearby [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. As with the [[metal industry|metal]] and [[glass industry|glass]] industries, a unique facility is required to create crafts, and for ceramics this is the [[kiln]]. That said, the kiln cannot be used to make ceramic goblets, instruments, or toys.
*'''Ceramic Bricks (aka blocks):''' While all ceramic bricks are [[fire-safe]], they are not [[magma safe]] (even though porcelain is made from the magma-safe stone kaolinite). Ceramic bricks are 3-10x as valuable as common stone blocks and may be produced in infinite quantities if you have a local source of clay, making them marginally useful for improving the value of [[road]]s, [[bridge]]s, and [[room value|rooms]] in soil layers. If kaolinite is set to "non-economic" via the {{k|z}} Stone menu, a mason can convert one kaolinite boulder into four low-value, magma-safe kaolinite blocks instead.
*'''Statues:''' If high-value decorative metals ([[gold]], [[silver]], [[platinum]] and their [[metal|alloy]]s) are in short supply, and you are lucky enough to have some kaolinite, porcelain [[statue]]s can be used to create high-value rooms. The endless nature of earthenware and stoneware statues also makes them suitable for producing in high quantities to achieve the same purpose, or simply to create impressive-looking architecture.

== Benefits of skilled labor and strange moods ==
A skilled [[potter]] or [[glazer]] will generate items or decorations of a higher value. If fuel is in ready supply, a [[potter]] can be quickly skilled up by churning out earthenware craft items. Likewise, while done one at time, ash glazing is very fast with low resource cost. Neither the [[potter]] nor [[glazer]] labor qualifies for [[strange mood]]s. It can be worthwhile to give these dwarves some experience in a desirable "moodable" skill like [[weaponsmith]] to avoid getting another legendary [[woodcrafter]].

==Advanced industry management==
# '''Optimal Clay Collection:''' A robust ceramic industry will demand a lot of clay, so it is a good idea to put dedicated kiln(s) on repeating collection orders, preferably with nine redundant iterations to prevent the [[manager]] from tasking any other production from that kiln. (Or just use the workshop profile) Clay collection is time-consuming, and if you are outstripping your supply you will start to see job cancellations as the potter's increasing skill / speed of production outpaces the clay supply. To ensure a smooth production process, have several dwarves with item hauling enabled for each kiln set to gather clay. Putting the collection zone as close as possible to the operating kiln and collection kilns reduces both hauling and travel time. The zone can be designated right on top of the operating kiln with no ill effects, and reduces the potter’s hauling duties to almost nil. There appear to be no issues with small (1-6 tile) zones with multiple collection kilns, although further research/experience is required.
# '''Managing your Stocks:''' Clay is [[stockpile]]d under Stone, and each clay boulder takes up a single tile, so it's a good idea to create fairly large clay stockpiles close to your kilns. [[Wheelbarrow]]s may be useful for collecting clay, but it needs to be determined if a second collection trip occurs for each clay boulder produce in collection, (e.g. one trip to harvest the clay and one to transport it) which might diminish the utility of the wheelbarrow. It may be more efficient to create a stockpile right next to your collection area, and then create a second stockpile next to your kilns, which takes from the first (in which case wheelbarrow use will save time.) Alternatively, quantum stockpiles are a useful space-saving (but management-intensive) alternative. Kaolinite boulders also take up a full tile, so somewhat large stockpiles are useful for that as well.
# '''Ware Specific Production:''' If you are fortunate enough to have both generic and fire clay, as well as kaolinite, or you purchase the material from caravans, you will want to control the ceramic item produced by the related ware type. This is challenging, as you can't fine-tune what your dwarves will use through the kiln menu or the manager's screen. You can't tell them exactly what material to fire or what kind of thing to glaze, only what to make and what type of item to glaze. This can be solved by using linked [[stockpile]]s or workshop-restricting [[burrow]]s. Ideally you could create a single kiln for each ware type and link it to a dedicated stockpile. You will also need to link non-magma kilns to a fuel stockpile (you can use the same fuel stockpile for multiple kilns). Workshop-restricting burrows can be set up similarly. Another approach uses the fact that dwarves will usually go for the nearest available resource. Make a custom dedicated stockpile right next to a kiln, isolating the raw material, and you can more or less force the potters to use that material over another. If you only have one production kiln, this has the major disadvantage of requiring you to haul raw material back and forth when you change ware type, as dwarves will have to carry away the no-longer-needed material and carry in the newly desired one. You can also try forbidding the raw materials so dwarves can't make goods from them. This is probably most useful for kaolinite because of its limited availability.
# '''Glaze Specific Production:''' If you have lots of wood and cassiterite available allowing for both glaze types, you will face the same production problems as you would with multiple ware source material. Optimally, dedicate one kiln to a stockpile with a specific glaze material (ash or cassiterite), a fuel stockpile, and an earthenware goods stockpile. You can chose (control) the item to be glazed, and by linking the kiln to a specific glaze material stockpile, you will also control the glaze type. It is also useful to keep a [[wood furnace]] producing ash and a wood stockpile close by, which should keep your stocks of ash readily available. Ash is produced as a bar, and is stored in [[bin]]s, so your ash stockpile can be fairly small and still hold a considerable amount of ash. Tin bars can't be used to make tin glazes, so don't smelt cassiterite if you don't need tin bars.

=== Ceramics industry integrated flowchart ===
{{collapsible|Production Flowchart (click to enlarge)|
[[File:Ceramics Flowchart (All).jpg|thumb|800px|center|Ceramic Industry Production Flowcharts]]
}}

== Ceramic industry crossover ==
# '''Glass Industry:''' As there is some natural overlap with the [[glass industry]] with regard to materials required, it may be useful to set up your ceramics industry near your glass industry. [[Potash maker]]s use ash at [[Ashery|asheries]] to produce [[potash]], which in turn feeds kilns that make [[pearlash]], which is used to make [[clear glass]] and [[crystal glass]]. As ceramics already requires ash production, and uses kilns as the primary production facility, there is some efficiency advantage to be had by keeping the distance between the two industries short.
#'''Jewelry Industry:''' Clay can be used by a [[gem cutter]] to advance their cutting [[skill]]. As clay is effectively unlimited, and as it requires no processing step (unlike [[glass]]) in order to be used, it is a very efficient material for training your gem cutters, and it can be transported more quickly than stone. The main drawback is the time it takes for an [[hauling|item hauler]] to gather the clay.
#'''Fuel Industry:''' The ceramic industry relies on fuel to function properly. Until magma becomes available, a steady supply of [[coke]] or [[charcoal]] will be necessary.
#'''Wood Industry:''' The glazing of earthenware products relies on [[ash]]. If you plan on developing a large ceramic industry, integration of ash production directly into the ceramics facility layout is recommended.

== Notes, tips, and tricks: ==
* '''Embark:''' To ensure that you can set up a basic ceramic industry, make sure that either '''"clay"''' or '''"shallow clay"''' is shown as available in the [[embark]] screen. The specific type of clay available, (such as fire clay) cannot be determined ahead of time, (unless you use DFHack's pre-embark estimate, which is not always accurate.)
* Raw clay boulders can also be used in construction, similar to stone boulders.
* It is possible to create clay soil tiles in areas where there are no naturally occurring tiles. When an underground plant ([[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s, [[grass]] or moss) grows on a muddy stone floor tile (after discovering a [[Caverns|cavern]]) and is either trampled, gathered, cut down or removed via building a dirt road on top of it, the floor tile turns into a soil type appropriate to the [[biome]] - for biomes which lack soil layers altogether (such as mountains and glaciers), a random soil type will be selected, which might sometimes be clay.
* Ceramics are considered to be [[fire-safe]] but typically are not [[magma safe]]. Raw clay is not [[fire-safe]].
* '''Stupid Dwarf Ceramics:''' Create an oriental themed fortress using porcelain statues, and ceramic blocks for internal construction. Use fire clay to create 1000 Terracotta statues for an elaborate tomb in which to enshrine a dead [[noble]].

{{D for Dwarf}}
Being somewhat sensitive as to their height (or lack thereof) in comparison to other sentient races, the ingenious yet vertically insecure Dwarves are prone to compensate for their diminutive stature by making "really big things". Take, for example, the ceramic statue. Given that the average statue is large enough to take up the entire space of a tile upon which it is placed (thereby prohibiting passage), it therefore must be considerably larger than a chest or cabinet (large furniture items which do allow units to pass through), and it can only be surmised that the statues are quite large. It follows that a "really big kiln", (say, 10-12 feet tall) would be required to fire one of these "really big statues" using incredibly accurate temperature control. For a Dwarf, these feats of engineering are taken in (short legged) stride. Given the size, weight, and relative fragility of an un-fired statue, it must be assumed that your basic kiln also includes a crane (or two) and the necessary scaffolding surrounding the kiln that will allow careful placement of the statues within the massive firing chamber.

Kobold language

2021-07-30T16:49:33Z

Mocha2007: wording

{{distinguish|l1 = the terrible programming language|wikipedia: COBOL}}

The '''Kobold language''' is one of the [[language]]s the player will come across. This language is used in-game for the names, groups, and civilizations of [[kobold]]s.

Kobold is governed by rules different from the four main languages. Kobolds have the [[DF2014:Creature_token#UTTERANCES|UTTERANCES]] creature token, which means their language has no pre-defined vocabulary. Instead, the language consists entirely of proper names built by hard-coded rules, which are detailed below.

Kobold-language words do not actually have a proper English translation; however, Kobold-language objects and individual kobolds will maintain the same name over time.

==Alphabet and Graphemics==
The letters of the Kobold alphabet are:

Of these 21 letters, six (A, E, I, O, U, and Y) represent vowels, while the other fifteen represent consonants.

Peculiarities:
*The letter ''h'' only appears in the digraphs ''sh'', ''th'', and ''ch''.
*The letter ''n'' only appears in the digraphs ''ng'', ''nk'', and ''in'', and the trigraph ''rsn''.
*The letter ''y'' only appears in the digraph ''ay''.

The letters Q, V, W, X, and Z of the [[wikipedia:ISO basic Latin alphabet|ISO basic Latin alphabet]] do not occur in the Kobold alphabet.

===Letter Frequency===
Based on a sample of 120 kobold names, the approximate letter frequencies can be established:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>The phoneme represented by ''n'' likely has the [[wikipedia: Allophone|allophone]] [ŋ] before ''g'' and ''k.''

===Syllables===

Kobold has three kinds of syllables, ''primary,'' ''secondary,'' and ''final.'' Every word is composed of one or two primary syllables, zero to two secondary syllables, and one final syllable. Words must begin with a primary syllable, end with a final syllable, the penultimate syllable must be a primary syllable, and all others must be secondary syllables. Therefore, the following structures are allowed:
<center>
{| class="wikitable"
! No. of syllables
! Structure
|-
| 2 syllables
| 1-F
|-
| 3 syllables
| 1-1-F
|-
| 4 syllables
| 1-2-1-F
|-
| 5 syllables
| 1-2-2-1-F
|}
</center>

====Primary Syllables====
Every primary syllable is of the [[wikipedia: Syllable#Components|syllable structure]] C<sub>1</sub>(C<sub>2</sub>)V. C<sub>1</sub> is mandatory, and can be one of many consonants; C<sub>2</sub> is an optional [[wikipedia: Approximant consonant|approximant]], which can be either ''r'' or ''l''; and V is a vowel.
*The allowed consonants for C<sub>1</sub> are: ''b'', ''d'', ''st'', ''sh'', ''s'', ''t'', ''th'', ''ch'', ''l'', ''f'', ''g'', ''k'', ''p'', and ''j''.
*The allowed consonants for C<sub>2</sub> are: ''r'', ''l'', or nothing.
**'''Exception''': The consonant cluster ''ll'' is forbidden.
*The allowed vowels for V are: ''a'', ''o'', ''u'', ''ay'', ''ee'', and ''i''.
**'''Exception''': The digraph vowels ''ay'' and ''ee'' can only be present in the penultimate syllable of a word (if this is also the initial syllable, it is still allowed).

====Secondary Syllables====
Every secondary syllable is of the simple form CV. C is one of a handful of consonants, and V is a vowel.
*The allowed consonants for C are: ''b'', ''d'', ''l'', ''f'', ''g'', and ''k''.
*The allowed vowels for V are: ''a'', ''i'', ''o'', and ''u''.
**'''Note''': All secondary syllables use the same vowel as the first syllable.

====Final Syllables====
Every final syllable is of the structure CR. C is one of several consonants or consonant clusters, while R is a [[wikipedia: Syllable#Rime|rime]] that is limited to one of the four endings ''-is'', ''-us'', ''-er'', or ''-in''.
*The allowed consonants for C are: ''m'', ''r'', ''ng'', ''b'', ''rb'', ''mb'', ''g'', ''lg'', ''l'', ''lb'', ''lm'', ''k'', ''nk'', ''ld'', ''d'', and ''rsn''.
*The allowed rimes for R are: ''is'', ''us'', ''er'', and ''in''.
**'''Exception:''' The rimes ''er'' and ''in'' are not allowed if the penultimate syllable's vowel is ''ee'' or ''i''.

Note that the consonant C is likely not meant to actually begin the final syllable, but rather to be appended to the penultimate syllable. For example, the kobold name ''Krudulugrilgus'' would be enunciated as ''Kru-du-lu-'''gril'''-gus'', not ''Kru-du-lu-gri-'''lgus.'''''

==Vocabulary==
As mentioned above, Kobold has no set vocabulary, being formed entirely of procedurally generated proper names. The shortest possible words would be 5 letters and 2 syllables, like ''[[:File:Sober.jpg|sober]]''. While nothing known about the rules of the language limits the length of a word, the longest observed word so far is the personal name ''stribikistreersnis'', at 18 letters and 5 syllables.

You can generate Kobold names outside of ''Dwarf Fortress'', that follow all the rules above, with the online program [https://collinbrennan.github.io/GenGo/index.html GenGo]. After clicking the link, copy the following into the appropriate boxes (overwriting any default already there), and click generate.

Toady has said in an interview that the kobold language was created in imitation of his and Threetoe's childhood language developed to speak to cats. (BlindIRL interview, 2020/06/11, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xsv9JQ3X5w] )

Mocha2007: minor grammar fix

{{creaturedesc}}

'''Dragons''' are gigantic, fire-breathing, green reptilian [[megabeast]]s, eventually becoming the [[List_of_creatures_by_adult_size#end_of_list|second largest]] land [[creature]]s in the world (behind the [[giant elephant]]). They are a different creature than the similarly-named [[cave dragon]].

While based on the western dragon model, dragons neither fly nor have wings, and are not intelligent (though there is room to address this; see [[DF2014:Dragon#Irregularities.2C_Bugs.2C_and_Future_Plans|Bugs and Future Plans]]). They are immune to both [[fire]] and [[magma]]; however, they can still [[swimmer|drown]] if immersed in the latter. They frequently exhale jets of extremely hot (theoretically {{ct|50000}}, over four times the heat of magma) "[[dragonfire]]", which can injure things that are immune to normal fire, such as the [[bronze colossus]]. Only dragons and the [[cave dragon|cave-dwelling subspecies thereof]] are naturally immune to dragonfire; however, dragonfire can be blocked by creatures equipped with [[shield]]s.

Dragons are covetous and seek to [[Steals items|steal items]] from your fortresses to bring back to their lairs. Dragons generally pilfer successfully in worldgen, but when they attack a player fortress they tend to get caged, killed, or distracted burning the whole fortress down.

Dragons are the [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GlassCannon glass cannons] of the megabeasts. They aren't especially durable for a megabeast, and can be slain quite easily with traps or skilled soldiers, however, their dragonfire will melt every other non-shield-using creature in the game (except for [[sponge]]s), they breathe fire over a long distance (20+ tiles) and they breathe fire often.

Some dwarves [[preferences|like]] dragons for their ''terrible majesty''.

[[File:dragonprev.png|thumb|400px|center|Art by Olivitree - How majestic!]]

==Dragon Size==

Dragons slowly grow to become one of the largest creatures in the game, finally reaching their adult size of 25,000,000 cm<sup>3</sup> after 1000 years. As a hatchling, dragons are quite tiny, at exactly 1/10th an adult dwarf's size, but they grow very rapidly, at roughly 25,000 cm<sup>3</sup> per year. Dragons reach dwarf size shortly after their second birthday, are more than double a dwarf's size at about year 5, and add another dwarf's-worth in size roughly every two years after that.

*At 23 years, a dragon is the size of a [[giant cheetah]].
*At 100 years, a dragon is the size of a [[draltha]].
*At 200 years, a dragon is the size of an [[elephant]].
*At 320 years, a dragon is the size of a [[hydra]].
*At 800 years, a dragon is the size of a [[bronze colossus]] or an adult [[roc]].
*Thereafter, a dragon is the second largest creature found on land. (The [[giant elephant]] is the largest land creature, while the [[giant sperm whale]] is the largest creature found anywhere.)

==Defense strategies==

Dragonfire can be blocked if the victim is using a shield, and it will be more than 99% of the time. Though they are among the physically weakest of the megabeasts, dragons are still massively powerful in melee combat, so they can be hard to take down without a good military. They should never be engaged in areas covered in [[grass]] or [[cave moss]], as their breath attacks will cause fire to spread across '''all''' grass in the area, consuming your map in flames, causing [[tree]]s to fall, and, above all else, murdering your [[FPS]]. When attacked by a dragon, lure it underground, preferably into an area made out of stone floors away from any [[farm plot]]s.

Possibly the best defense is to use piercing weapons like crossbows, and especially spears, and hope you get lucky and hit a vital organ which can bring it down immediately. An alternative is building one or multiple cage traps, possibly beforehand, which will probably cage the dragon making it harmless. You should know that cages and mechanisms will be destroyed by dragonfire unless constructed from pure slade, so either make sure both cages (or weapons, or supports) and mechanisms are impervious to dragonfire, or, more simply, ensure that the dragon has no reason to breathe fire by removing animals and dwarves from the trapped area. While they won't fire on buildings normally, a stray blast (at your outdoor livestock or bait animals, say) that catches any traps, doors, or bridges not made of dragonfire-safe materials will melt and deactivate them. This can be used to your advantage, since dragons will destroy the bridge they are standing on, even if they aren't aiming for it. Also, dragons make good companions if you are able to reanimate them as a [[necromancer]].

==Domestication==
Dragons can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] if you're lucky enough to catch one. Currently, knowledge of animal behaviour is based on the civilization level and depends partly on the animals available for contact in a given civilization site. Such a rare megabeast as a dragon is unlikely to have had any civilized contact aside from adventurers attempting to slay them and other violent contact; as such, your fort will have to build the knowledge base from the ground up, making dragon-training a highly difficult task. Bear in mind that even with a skilled animal trainer at hand, your first attempts to control such a powerful and elusive beast may result in [[Fun|half your fortress burning in dragonfire]]. Being megabeasts, dragons are perpetually hostile to your military [[squad]]s and must be kept separated from your soldiers, otherwise they will kill each other on sight.{{bug|10731}}

If you can manage to endure its long-untamed wrath, you'll have a massively valuable pet that can lay [[egg]]s. Dragons can also be trained as war or hunting animals at an [[Activity_zone#Animal_Training|animal training zone]]. While a trained dragon is an immensely destructive tool at your disposal, it is also very eager to use dragonfire against your enemies, which can be ''exceedingly'' [[fun]] if it happens in your [[Pasture|grass]], [[Alcohol|booze]] [[stockpile]] or [[meeting area]].

Provided you are lucky enough to capture a pair of dragons of different sexes, you can [[Egg#Hatching Conditions|breed]] them with a [[nest box]]. Hatched dragons will immediately be considered adults, though they will still need to progress through 1,000 years of growth to reach full size. As they are born adults, it isn't possible to create [[Animal trainer#Taming children|fully tame]] dragons without [[modding]].

==Irregularities, Bugs, and Future Plans==
[[File:Dragon_Size.png|frame|Estimated size comparison between a fully-grown dragon and a dwarf.]]
Dragons have been observed to occasionally wear some [[armor]] (breastplates, greaves, leggings and boots). This armor is specified as "Large [metal][armor type]" and gives the dragon the same protection as any other species might get from it. This is a bug, as dragons can't normally equip items.

[[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] has mentioned that he plans to eventually extend the random creature generator of the game to create different species and varieties of dragon within certain constraints, calling it "Half-Random", with ideas for variants including just about anything dragons have been given in literature, such as acidic blood, while maintaining a basic draconic structure.<sup>([http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg1012311#msg1012311])</sup> He has also commented on the game's current portrayal of dragons as wingless unintelligent creatures, citing his reasons to be the many ways dragons are depicted in real-life sources.(<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf//index.php?topic=159164.msg7156980#msg7156980]</sup>)

One of the [[Main:Consolidated_development#Power_Goals|old power goals]] referenced stealing dragon eggs as part of an [[adventurer mode]] quest.

{{D for Dwarf}}

Contrary to popular belief, a dragon is not in fact toothless, and will tear you to shreds, resulting in [[fun]].

They will, in accordance to popular belief, however, burninate the countryside, the [[peasant|peasants]], and any thatched roof cottages that happen to be around.

Though dragons are thought to make their lairs in dungeons, actual sightings of "Dragons in Dungeons" are extremely rare.

Also contrary to popular belief, dragonfire is in fact not actually fire, but is composed of boiling, molten clouds of varied metals such as: silver, copper, steel, etc... So one could argue that dragons feed on minerals and armored adventurers to produce their breath, or that dragons can breath plasma.

Dragonfire is also known to make trade depots explode.

Unfortunately, eating a dragon's soul will not give you the ability to kill people by shouting.

Advanced world generation

2019-02-14T18:14:22Z

Mocha2007: /* Number of Demon Types */

{{Quality|Exceptional|18:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
{{old}}

:''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.''
:''See [[World rejection]] for information on solving problems related to worlds always being rejected.''
:''See [[Worldgen examples]] for example worlds.''

When you want more control of what your world looks like, it's time for '''advanced world generation'''. A detailed reference with advice is provided below. This article assumes that you are already familiar with [[World generation|'''basic''' world generation]]. If you are not then please read about that first.

Once you select {{DFtext|Design New World With Advanced Parameters}} from the main menu, a screen that looks something like this will appear:

[[File:AdvancedWorldGen.png‎]]

This screen is relatively intuitive but some parts could use some explanation.

== Parameter sets ==

The list of already defined parameter sets is in the upper right corner. You can select the current set that you want to work with using the up and down directional keys.

Hitting {{K|a}} will add a new set to the end of the list. You can also {{K|c}}opy an existing set to a new one allowing you to base a new set on an existing one. Using {{K|t}} you can change the name of the parameter set but note that this will not affect the name of the world that is generated.

Parameter sets are stored in the <tt>data/init/world_gen.txt</tt> file in the main DF directory. The {{K|F1}} and {{K|F6}} keys will load and save '''all''' of the parameter sets to this file. You will need to save the world gen parameters to this file before you hit {{K|Enter}} to generate the world.

The <tt>world_gen.txt</tt> file can also be edited with a text editor. This is particularly useful because people will often post their parameter sets on the forum or wiki in text form. (See below for more info.) The {{K|F1}} key comes in handy when editing this file while the game is still running.

To get the parameters used to generate a world you are already playing press {{K|ESC}} then choose export images; exporting any image will also create the world generation parameter file, for more information see this [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101280.msg4512541#msg4512541 post].

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

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#dddddd"
! Token
! Example
! Notes
|-
| <tt><nowiki>[TITLE: <name>]</nowiki></tt>
| <tt><nowiki>[TITLE:MEDIUM ISLAND]</nowiki></tt>
| Required
|}

== 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}}.

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#dddddd"
! Token
! Example
! Notes
|-
| <tt><nowiki>[CUSTOM_NAME: <name>]</nowiki></tt>
| <tt><nowiki>[CUSTOM_NAME:Realm of Cheese Engravings]</nowiki></tt>
| For a random name, simply don't use this token.
|}

== World dimensions ==

The size of the map to be generated can be selected with {{K|u}} {{K|i}} {{K|o}} {{K|p}}. 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.

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#dddddd"
! Token
! Example
! Notes
|-
| <tt><nowiki>[DIM:<width>:<height>]</nowiki></tt>
| <tt><nowiki>[DIM:129:129]</nowiki></tt>
| Valid values are 17, 33, 65, 129, and 257. Others may not work.
|}

== 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 and 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. If you have entered a seed value you can revert to all seeds being random using {{K|S}}.

== Generating a world ==

Unless you're using an already defined parameter set you will probably want to {{K|e}}dit the parameters. Select the set you want to edit using the up/down directional keys and press {{K|e}}. Information about each parameter is documented below.

Once you are happy with the parameters you have set, hit {{K|Esc}} to get back to this screen, hit {{K|F6}} to save the values you just edited, and hit {{K|Enter}} to start. The rest of the process is the same as basic [[World generation]].

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 ''data/init/[[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, and some are provided at [[Main:Pregenerated worlds|Pregenerated worlds]]. Another place to find parameter sets is the [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101280.0 Worldgen cookbook] thread on the official forums.

== Advanced parameters ==

To access advanced parameters, press {{key|e}} when at the screen for creating new worlds with 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 other 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. These 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 will 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 up it for experimental/testing purposes or to help dwarves survive in a particularly evil world.

=== End year ===

This is how many years of history are generated for the world. This is basically the same as the History parameter in basic world gen, except that you can enter an exact value for 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 figures 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 towns. Other sites such as lairs will be added on to this maximum. After civilizations reach this cap, they will not spread out anymore 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.

Increasing this too high can slow worldgen down by a lot, beware. Another effect can be goblins (or other civs) sometimes overwhelming all other civs and/or flooding the world with their homes leaving no good places to build your fortress. If you choose a low cap to hasten world generation, the cap will be reached within years stopping expanson of all civs. If you want a good and long history you will have to adjust cap of sites and population as the number of civs many times to find one fullfilling 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 early.

If you want to end the creation of your world at the beginning at 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 megabeasts and titans 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 megabeasts and titans 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 meagabeasts and titans 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 ignores unimportant figures in history generation. The culling is many CPU-intensive steps in history generation but it saves memory and will speed up loading/saving games a bit. This does mean that the "unimportant" figures will not appear in Legends mode or in things like dwarf engravings, but they might not appear in engravings anyway.

Unimportant figures are people or creatures who suffer early deaths, never having offspring or killing anything named during history generation. For example, residents of goblin towers may get murdered by demons at a young age. After culling unimportant figures, Legends mode would say something like the demon has killed "a creature at Eviltower in the year 102."

=== 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.

==== 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.

==== 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.
* River start locations need a minimum elevation of 300. Therefore, a world with a maximum elevation of 299 everywhere prevents river generation, but rivers can still occur if maximum elevation is set to 300.
*Mountain peaks can only form in squares with an elevation of 400.

==== Rainfall ====

Controls the amount of rainfall in each map square/area. Setting the minimum too high or the maximum too 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.

==== 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.

[[Temperature]] is always influenced by elevation and, if [[Advanced_world_generation#Poles|Poles]] are enabled, latitude. So, the value from the temperature rolling process is ''not the absolute temperature value the region will get, but rather local variation.'' The "base" temperature for an area is derived from its latitude and elevation, and then the random value determined by these parameters are applied to it to make it vary a bit. The default values for the local variation are fairly small compared to the base temperature, which appears to be hard coded.

==== 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|Layers]], 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 too high of a 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<sup>''MeshSize'' - 1</sup> 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 32x32 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 ====

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 2x2 means the grid will be 2 times 2 tiles large and there will be 3 times 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.

==== Weighted Ranges ====

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 2x2 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 2x2 mesh and barely visible at all with a 8x8 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 2x2 mesh will look essentially the same as a pocket world with a 2x2 mesh, only stretched to 256 times the size.

=== 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. 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.

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 of ore present on a map, the number of different types of ore, 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).

=== Max Megabeasts Caves ===

This is the number of megabeasts placed at the beginning of history. Megabeasts are hydras, bronze colossuses, rocs and dragons which are all placed in equal proportions [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112465.msg3415177#msg3415177 <sup>data</sup>].

==== Attack Population Requirement ====

Titans 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 merchandise, 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|Demons]] are similar to titans and forgotten beasts 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.

=== 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|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 exists 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 an early extinction of many civilizations.

=== 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 to 0 does not guarantee 0 squares of that biome.

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

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.

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.

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}} The rain shadows will always be created as if the wind is blowing from west to east.

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.

==== Cavern Layer Number ====

This 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.

'''Warning:'''
*Disabling caverns by setting this to 0 will make it impossible to grow any underground plants, as none will exist for your civilization to cultivate. (Underground plants will not be available on embark.)

==== 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}}

===== Layer Water min\max =====

Determines how many caverns will have water at the bottom. Note that, even at 100, there will be some amount of ground in caverns, but each cavern 'bubble' will contain some amount of water.

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 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.

Determines if the space below the magma sea exists. If Yes the "HFS" layer is always present. Normally you want to leave this set to Yes for maximum fun.

=== 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. 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 temple, 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 temples, 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 values can cause strange things to happen. Even more true for small values.

=== Cave Parameters ===

Caves are sort of 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.

==== Minimum/Maximum Natural Cave Size ====

These parameters appear to control the length and depth of caves.

If set to no (default) then the location of caves will not be marked on the map. If set to yes, caves will appear on the map as {{Raw Tile|•|#808080|#00DD00}} symbols so that they may be sought out or avoided as desired.

=== Number of Civilizations ===

This number of civilizations 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 <sup>data</sup>]. 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 <sup>data</sup>]. 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 <sup>data</sup>].

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.

=== Playable Civilization Required ===

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.

If set to no, the result may be a world that cannot be played in Fortress Mode.

|}

=== 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. These 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 your 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|Worldgen examples]] might be helpful. These are complete parameter sets that can be copied directly into your ''world_gen.txt'' file and customized as desired.

Bookcases are [[furniture]] used in [[library|libraries]] to store written [[book]]s. They are {{k|b}}uilt using {{k|Alt}}+{{k|c}}.

Bookcases can be crafted from 1 log in the [[carpenter's workshop]], 2 bars in the [[metalsmith's forge]], 1 bag of [[sand]] in the [[glass furnace]], or 1 stone in the [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Bookcases are stockpiled in furniture stockpiles under "Other Large Tools".

It is not easy to find how many books a bookcase will hold (codices do not have a fixed size). A bookcase should be capable of between 200 and 500 codices, so not many bookcases are needed for small libraries. A single bookcase can hold 500 scrolls or 1,000 quires.

'''Elves''' (singular, '''Elf''') are <s>smelly, stuck-up, arrogant [[tree]]-fondling hippies</s> [[Creature|humanoids]] dedicated to the protection of ''their'' concept of nature (focused on trees).

Elven caravans arrive in late spring, bringing only [[plant]]-related and [[wood]]-related items, [[cage]]d tame animals, various types of [[clay]] and [[sand]]. During [[trade]], elves will '''not''' accept wood, wooden items or any goods [[Decoration|decorated]] with wood. This includes ''clear'' and ''crystal'' [[glass]] items and [[soap]], because wood-derived [[lye]] and [[pearlash]] are used in their production, however, ash-[[glaze]]d items are acceptable. Dwarves cannot normally decorate objects with wood, but other civilizations can, so be careful with objects with decorations. Elves bring their own "grown" wooden items. Those were presumably produced without cutting down trees. Elves will accept elf-made wooden items in trade, but not wooden items made by anyone else. Be careful not to offer them your wooden [[bin]]s or [[barrel]]s, or [[quiver]]s containing wooden [[bolt]]s/[[arrow]]s. If the contents of bins are marked for trade individually, and are not wooden themselves, the elves will not care that you used wooden bins to haul the goods to the depot. You may also steal from them or even kill/torture them without fear of repercussion: merchants will not resist if you seize their goods and will not competently fight back if attacked.

Elves will generally '''accept''' items made of green glass, stone, metal, bone and other refuse, silk, leather, plant fiber cloth, meat and fish, totems, and even plants. They will accept animals in trade, as long as those are not held in dwarf-made wooden cages. They also accept ''raw'' clear glass and ''raw'' crystal glass, even though they are made using [[pearlash]]. Despite the name, petrified wood is a kind of stone and therefore acceptable. (Apparently it's okay if the tree died of natural causes a long time ago.)

Offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items normally causes them to refuse further trade this year and leave early. Repeatedly offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items may cause them to attack your fortress with an [[ambush]], which may later evolve into a full [[siege]].

They have no facial hair but rarely they have at least stubble. Like [[goblin]]s, they are biologically immortal and will only die to violence and disease. Elves speak the [[Main:Elvish language|elvish language]].

Some <s>stupid, useless, treefondling traitors</s> dwarves [[Preferences|like]] elves for their ''"""grace"""''.

==Fortress mode==
===Diplomats===
The elven diplomat will arrive approximately halfway through the first month in spring. At some point the diplomat may revisit your fortress to establish a treecutting quota.

[[File:Tree-meeting-1.png]]

Although the first screen lists a quota of 100 trees, accepting this offer leads to a negotiation phase where the limit may be different from 100.

[[File:Tree-meeting-2.png]]

[[File:Tree-meeting-3.png]]

If the player agrees to a treecutting meeting, it will be visible after selecting the elves in the Civilizations screen and pressing Tab a few times.

[[File:Tree-meeting-4.png]]

Note that the quota is measured in trees, not logs, so be sure to fell only the largest trees on your map to get the most out of your agreement.

=== Trading ===

List of what you can expect in an average elven caravan:
*Wooden logs: Always useful, unless you are in a forest biome and already drowning in wooden logs. Quantity depending on how many logs you have already; lower means more. However, caravans with grown logs tend to be rare.
*Fruits and various other growths from [[tree]]s. Can be made into alcohol or eaten. Good for booze variety. Elves can bring a lot of plants and fruit that are otherwise not native to your fort.
*Wooden containers: [[Container|chests]], [[cage]]s, [[bucket]]s, and [[barrel]]s. These all are useful, though generally are easy enough to make locally.
*Soil types: [[sand]] in bags, various types of [[clay]]. In case you have no sand or clay, those are useful. Keep in mind they don't bring enough of either for long term, mass production.
*[[Bag]]s and [[rope]]s made from plant cloth. You already should have those, but a few extra bags never hurt, although plant cloth bags are a bit expensive.
*A few aboveground tame animals in wooden cages. May be [[opossum|a]] [[stoat|disappointingly]] [[fox|useless]] [[hoary marmot|animal]] or [[Giant badger|an]] [[Giant tiger|incredibly]] [[Giant elephant|awesome]] [[Giant eagle|one]]. Elves bring the animals they get from their biome, so you may be able to guess what will they bring next. For that matter, elves installed on savage tropical lands are the best. Exotic animals are considered fully tame and will never require [[Animal trainer|training]].
*Caged tame [[vermin]], which has no real use aside from putting in a [[zoo]], or if you want more cages.
*Rope reed or other plant cloth [[clothing]], mildly useful if you are in lack of clothing and haven't bothered setting up a clothing industry. Although you may not deem it dwarven enough to wear.
*Wooden [[crutch]]es and [[Health_care#Splints|splint]]s, which are pretty handy for [[health care]] if you didn't make any.
*Wooden [[armor]] and [[weapon]]s, which are generally useless unless you are [[trap]]-happy, lack metal, or restricting yourself to wooden weapons.
*Craft goods, such as toys or cups. Typically, it isn't necessary to buy these since dwarves can make all that they need on their own, but elves might carry [[instrument]]s that dwarves cannot make.

All wooden products made by elves are called "grown". Unlike regular wood, these may be traded back to the elves without repercussion. Otherwise they are identical to the wood that you can produce.

==Ethics==

[[File:Stasost-sarasti.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Artist rendering of an elf by Mechlin ([http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169691.msg7701761#msg7701761 post])]]

Elven ''[[civilization]]'' [[ethics]] often differ from those of other races. Their position on moral philosophy will likely put them at odds with [[human]]s, [[goblin]]s, [[dwarf|dwarves]], and sometimes [[kobold]]s and animal-people, although they favor war with goblins over other races. At any given point in time, elves and dwarves are likely to be at peace, but it is certainly possible for an elven civilization to be at war with a dwarven one at the end of worldgen. Use the tab button when selecting an [[embark]] site to view whether elves are at war with the currently selected dwarven culture, and cycle dwarven cultures to find out.

As ghastly as the concept may be, elven cultures have become more powerful since the days of [[Main:Tholtig|Tholtig Cryptbrain]], and it is entirely possible for one or more dwarven civilizations to be extinct due to elven aggression. What elves lack in engineering, crafting, intelligence, bravery, skill, or hygiene, they make up for in raw, unwashed numbers, and once-mighty dwarven civilizations may crumble to the hordes. Embarking with (possibly homeless wandering survivor) dwarves claiming to be from that civilization is possible, but always starts at war with the elves that claimed those poor souls' lives, and you may not get migrants.

Elves are the only race which wholeheartedly accepts the devouring of enemy combatants. Looking in legends mode shows that an elven combatant will sometimes devour the other person they were fighting when they win. In spite of this, elves refuse to butcher and consume intelligent beings under other conditions. Elves find torturing as an example acceptable, but condemn other forms of torture and consider torturing for information misguided. To elves, keeping any trophy of any kind is an unthinkable act. Elves begrudgingly allow for killing animals when done in self-defense, and the killing of other elves by an elf is justified if there is an extremely good reason for doing so. For elves, the killing of plants, ''especially'' trees, is unthinkable. On the other hand, the killing of neutral beings and enemies is acceptable. Elven society seems to be regulated by shame from the community, rather than by threat of punishment. As such, elves never offer serious or capital punishment to criminals; instead, elves found to have committed vandalism, trespassing or theft are reprimanded, while those convicted of treason, lying, breaking oaths, assault or participating in slavery are forced into exile.

Elves [[Personality_trait|value]] nature incredibly highly, and they also place a degree of value on family, eloquence, cunning, artwork, fairness, merriment, competition and romance. Elves do not especially respect commerce and have a dislike for self-control.

Note that these are merely the ethics of elven civilizations. Elves may adopt the cultures of other races via wandering individuals joining civilizations, or when conquest absorbs elves into another civilization. Sentient creatures adopt the values and ethics of their culture, regardless of race. Elves living among, [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|or even leading]], dwarves will have dwarven ethics and values, and vice versa.

==Community outlook==
Due to ''Dwarf Fortress'' making ample use of the "elves are stuck-up jerks who live in trees" stereotype (which is especially noticeable when talking to their diplomats), the race as a whole tends to be widely disliked by players, who aren't too happy about said stuck-up jerks trying to tell their dwarves how to live their lives. Unlike goblins, however, elves are rarely considered a threat due to their insistence in using equipment purely made out of wood in battle, which is only marginally better than fighting unarmed and generally stands no chance against a half-competent, metal-clad dwarven militia. Because of this, elves have a reputation among the community of being all-bark-and-no-bite wimps who serve as the perfect punching bags to be on the receiving end of whatever [[stupid dwarf trick]] the fortress is currently conducting, especially if it's a particularly [[Fun|violent]] one. If a player is telling a story about a gruesome incident of sorts, there's a high chance it'll involve at least one elf as the victim.

The elves' rabid love for trees is also a point of note; many players will go as far as to raze their map clean of trees, for no reason but to spite the elves and provoke them into attacking, just for the chance to slaughter them all. Unlike most other fantasy settings, ''Dwarf Fortress'' elves don't really have any redeeming characteristics (they aren't any more attractive than a dwarf, human or goblin, aren't good smiths, and don't have any superhuman abilities beyond biological immortality), though most long-time players play their antics for laughs, resulting in them essentially being the community's collective chew toys.

Being compared to an elf is particularly insulting, as it implies you're an unwashed, tree-loving, cannibalistic hippie. That's not to say that elves are universally disliked, however: some have earned the liking of the player base, typically due to them being part of a dwarven civilization (and as such not acting like elves), with [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|Cacame Awemedinade]] being one of the community's most well known and beloved characters.

Galena

2018-12-15T01:46:24Z

{{For/see|the month|[[Calendar]]}}

'''Galena''' is an [[ore]] of both [[lead]] and [[silver]]. It is found as [[vein]]s in a variety of locations.

When galena ore is [[smelter|smelted]], it will produce 4 lead [[bar]]s and 0-4 silver [[bar]]s (with a 50% chance of each silver bar being produced). On average, each nugget of galena will produce two bars of silver when smelted.

Galena can also be used in [[alloy]] reactions requiring silver-bearing ore. Because these reactions treat the galena nugget as the equivalent of 4 silver bars, the resulting alloy will show a roughly 30% increase in value over smelting the galena separately.

Galena is also [[magma-safe]], but just barely. Since galena is a mid-value ore, however, you'll probably want to use something less valuable for magma management.

"Galena" is the name of the 6th month of the Dwarven [[calendar]], covering late Summer.

==In real life==
Galena is a brittle, gray ore, the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide. It's been used as a source of lead since ancient times. Despite being magma-safe in Dwarf Fortress, it has a low melting point, making it easy to smelt into lead. Its more valuable use, however, is in the silver often found within galena deposits, which is also rather easy to extract; the Greeks were extracting silver from galena since the 7th century B.C. In real life, silver occurs within galena in concentrations up to 1-2% in pure form, as well as other forms such as silver sulfide.

One of galena's earliest uses was as an ingredient in kohl, an early form of eyeliner used in Africa and the Middle East, particularly Ancient Egypt. It is also a semiconductor, and was widely used in early wireless radio systems until the mid-1920's. However, galena's more important uses are from the lead and silver extracted from it, the uses of which are too vast to properly note here.

Bogeyman

2018-05-06T18:12:21Z

Mocha2007: /* Avoiding bogeymen */

{{Quality|Exceptional|21:35, 20 September 2016 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
[[File:Bogeyman Attack.png|thumb|286px|right|A group of bogeymen attacking a hapless adventurer.]]
A '''bogeyman''' {{Tile|ñ|0:1}} is a procedurally generated [[night creature]] which attacks unwary [[adventurer mode|adventurers]] who [[Adventurer mode#Fast Travel|travel]] or [[Adventurer mode#Sleep|sleep]] outside at night alone. Both fast travelling and travelling normally on the local map trigger bogeymen. The bane of many a young adventurer, bogeymen can prove to be deadly foes for the inexperienced and the unprepared.

== Characteristics ==
A number of different types of bogeyman are procedurally generated at every world creation, similar to [[night troll]]s. Their numbers are normally dependent on world size, but can be directly controlled with [[advanced world generation]] - if you prefer not having to deal with bogeymen, generating a world with "{{tt|Number of bogeymen types}}" set to {{tt|0}} in advanced world generation will ensure that no bogeymen exist in your world.

While procedurally generated, bogeymen all possess certain characteristics in common. They are all [[fanciful]], evil-aligned humanoids with either extra or missing features; for example, some bogeymen are generated with wings and thus have the ability to fly, but this doesn't usually affect adventurers unless they too can fly. Others might be generated with appendages such as horns which can be used to gore the bogeyman's prey. All bogeymen are intelligent creatures and reading their description will reveal the bogeyman "hurls vicious insults constantly". While evil, bogeymen are not restricted to evil regions and can appear anywhere.

Bogeymen are by far the smallest of all night creatures (save transformed small creatures), ranging from 10,000 cm³ to 20,000 cm³, making the largest bogeymen only as big as a [[kobold]]. However, this doesn't mean they should be underestimated; all bogeymen possess Expert [[skill]] in [[wrestling]], [[Combat skill|biting, fighting, striking, kicking, dodging]] and [[Observer|observing]], on top of being one of the most agile types of creature in the game, which makes them exceptionally hard to hit. Bogeymen can [[Amphibious|breathe underwater]], [[No Exert|feel no exertion]], [[No Stun|cannot be stunned]] and are [[No Pain|immune to pain]], nausea, dizziness and fevers. Bogeymen need no food, water or sleep to survive, nor do they need to breathe, meaning they cannot be drowned or strangled. Interestingly, their raws also reveal an [[Trapavoid|immunity to traps]], the ability of [[building destroyer|destroying buildings]] and a [[pet]] value of 2,000; due to not existing in [[fortress mode]], bogeymen never get to destroy buildings or interact with [[trap]]s, and they don't possess the necessary tokens to be [[Animal trainer|trained]] even if they did spawn in fortresses.

Bogeymen dissolve into harmless smoke shortly after being killed. Severed body parts can be picked up but they too vaporize quickly. However, it is sometimes possible to keep them if you pick them up and fast-travel away before they start smoking. They can't be animated by [[necromancer]]s.

During a bogeyman attack, the "give up" option in the {{k|Esc}} screen becomes {{DFtext|Give in to the night.|7:1}} Selecting this will end the game immediately. If you end the game in this way, or are otherwise killed by bogeymen, you will be described in [[Legends|Legends mode]] as having {{DFtext|died in the dark.|7:0}}

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] bogeymen for their ''terror-inspiring antics''.

== Avoiding bogeymen ==

Fortunately, adventurers are not doomed to face bogeymen every time night falls. In fact, bogeymen can be avoided entirely by:

#Being accompanied by at least one [[Adventure mode#Companions|companion]]. However, if you go to sleep, there is a chance the companions will wander, even if you ask them to wait.<br />
#Sleeping/waiting the night away inside a shelter (see below).<br />
#Sleeping/waiting/travelling [[Caverns|underground]] or in the more desolate [[biome|biomes]], such as [[mountain|mountains]], [[desert|deserts]], [[beach|beaches]], [[ocean|oceans]] and [[lake|lakes]].

When you are [[ambush|ambushed]] by bogeymen, you will get the message:
{{gametext|You are surrounded by incessant cackling.|5:1}}
A turn after receiving this message, 4-6 bogeymen will begin spawning around you.

If you try to travel or sleep/wait while at least one of the bogeymen is still alive, you will receive the message:
{{gametext|You are still surrounded by cackling.|5:1}}

Interestingly, bogeymen will be friendly towards creatures with the {{token|NOFEAR}} token. Playing as such a creature will make you totally safe from bogeymen; in the vanilla game, the available creatures with this trait are humanoid arachnid people: the [[bark scorpion man]], the [[brown recluse spider man]], and the [[jumping spider man]]. It doesn't prevent bogeyman encounters, however; sleeping in the wilderness may still result in getting surrounded by cackling, and the bogeymen will still teleport towards you, as well as prevent you from sleeping or travelling.

Bogeymen will ambush [[werebeasts]], and are as unfriendly as anyone else toward them, but will vanish on their own within the game hour.

== Dealing with bogeymen ==
If you're playing as an adventurer with a [[gait|speed]] of over 1000, you may be able to run away from bogeymen. However, there is no escaping the night. No matter where you run, the bogeymen will teleport near you if you ever get too far away. You can get rid of these pesky creatures in three ways:

=== Killing them all ===
The most obvious solution. However it is probably the most difficult one for inexperienced adventurers, and anyone who attempts to do this should be well prepared. Once your adventurer becomes skilled, this will become a trivial task. See the "Fighting bogeymen" section for more information.

=== Surviving until dawn ===
Bogeymen will be [[smoke|vaporized]] by the [[The Sun|morning sun]], so if you can't kill them but are able to run away from them or dodge/block their attacks well, you have another option:keep on doing that until dawn breaks. Unfortunately, this can take quite a while, depending on the time of night you were ambushed.

=== Entering a shelter ===
"Shelter" here refers to (non-ruined) buildings, (inhabited or uninhabited) lairs (including shrines and labyrinths) and [[cave|caves]]. Seeking refuge in such a place will make the bogeymen disappear in a puff of smoke. Incidentally, this is one of the reasons why townspeople encourage you to spend the night in their homes. You can find the nearest shelter by examining the map in your {{k|Q}}uest Log.

Once you succeed in doing one of the above, you'll get the message:
{{gametext|The cackling fades away.|5:1}}
and then you can get back to adventuring.

Note that even if you successfully defeat bogeymen using any of the three methods described above, you can never get rid of them permanently, as they will ambush you again some other night if you do not take precautions.

== Fighting bogeymen ==

Bogeymen are tough because they have very high agility, giving them a high speed and are naturally skilled in unarmed combat and dodging, so their punches hurt and they are difficult to hit. With low weapon skills you'll have a hard time hitting them, but once you can hit them they become very easy to kill. If you know how to fight them effectively, they will go down surprisingly easily. Here are a few tips for fighting them:

*Don't panic. Always know where your towel is. Carefully planned maneuvering is the key to survival.
*Use your [[size]] to your advantage. Bogeymen are surprisingly small relative to the playable races available in unmodded games. Set your combat preference to '''charge''', and you will knock them over every time you strike. This can easily give you the upper hand in battle, as being prone slows bogeymen down and gives you more time to act.
*Wrestling moves will usually work. Bogeymen are so small that they have a hard time breaking wrestling holds from the other races. They do not feel pain so breaking bones will not disable them, but breaking a leg will slow them down.
*Your [[speed]] is an important factor when it comes to fighting bogeymen. Whilst a slow adventurer can be swarmed and killed in seconds, one who is faster than the bogeymen has a distinct advantage.

Remember, prone bogeymen are much slower, so charge at them as often as you can, so you can knock them off their feet. You could also try to sever off feet or legs, as this will make them permanently prone. If you are carrying a lot of heavy objects, it might be a good idea to drop your backpack or, better yet, [[thrower|throw]] the [[weight|heavier]] and/or pointier objects at the bogeymen if they are not too close to you.

If you are really desperate for speed, you might also want to consider dropping your [[armor]] if it is slowing you down too much. Note that, while the extra speed might very well prove vital for your survival, you will also be more exposed to bogeymen attacks and will probably die faster if they manage to attack you and you are not a good [[dodger]]. You might want to consider keeping your helmet-a punch to the head by one of these creatures can easily ram your skull through your brain and end your life.

Despite what your imagination might imply, bogeymen are actually organic creatures. This means that they can be killed by damage to the brain, beheading, bisection (the separation of the lower body from the upper body) and excessive blood loss, and it is also generally easy to sever limbs and break bones. However, like a number of other night creatures, bogeymen do not feel pain and do not breathe, so they do not receive pain-related penalties or die from suffocation. This means that the most effective [[weapon]]s to use against them are edged weapons. With sufficient weapon skill, it is easy to score a hit that will sever a limb or puncture a vital organ such as the heart. Due to their small size, it is also easy to chop off the head or the lower body, killing the bogeyman instantly.

*Whatever you do, don't allow yourself to get surrounded. If a group a bogeymen are approaching you from one direction, move in the opposite direction. This generally leads to them approaching you in a line rather than a group, as the fastest bogeyman reaches you first. Thus you can fight them one at time if you are fast enough.
*Don't let bogeymen get the initiative. If you let the bogeyman attack you their skilled punches will likely break a bone and you'll be dead. So you should charge at one, attack it and run away before it has the chance to strike back.
*If the odds are against you, don't hesitate to flee. Remember that you don't need to kill bogeymen to get rid of them - you just have to survive the night or enter a shelter. Thus you should try to run in the direction of the nearest town, fortress, cave or lair. If you have a high enough speed, running away should actually be quite easy, as the bogeymen won't be able to catch up with you despite their constant teleportation. If ever a bogeyman gets too close to you, charge at it to knock it over and slow it down, and then continue running.
*Above all, remember that [[Losing|losing is fun]]!

Murky pool

2018-05-05T00:44:12Z

Mocha2007: /* Water source */

{{Quality|Superior|11:20, 18 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
{{buggy}}

'''Murky pools''' are small bodies of [[water#Stagnant water|stagnant water]] on the surface. Murky pools form tiny [[biome]]s that are enclosed by much larger biomes. The pool itself and tiles adjacent to the pool are counted as a biome. All kinds of [[vermin]] populate pools, which includes many edible and [[hateable]] vermin. Murky pools won't be shown on the [[embark|embark screen]], but they are a ubiquitous feature in any non-desert, non-freezing biome and will usually appear in high numbers. Some pools can be found merged with [[river]]s.

Murky pools contain a finite amount of water that can be drained and replenished over time. Water can evaporate completely during [[calendar|summer]] in sufficiently hot [[climate]]s, and be slowly refilled by [[rain]]water. Pools can also be artificially drained or filled up.

There are six types of pools, divided in climate and the salinity of the water. They are listed in the following table:

{| {{prettytable}}
|- style="background:#dddddd"
! style="background:#aaaaaa"|
! '''Freshwater''' !! '''Brackish water''' !! '''Saltwater'''
|-
! style="background:#dddddd"| '''Temperate'''
| Temperate freshwater pool || Temperate brackish pool || Temperate saltwater pool
|-
! style="background:#dddddd"| '''Tropical'''
| Tropical freshwater pool || Tropical brackish pool || Tropical saltwater pool
|}

== Uses ==
=== Fishing ===
Dwarves with the [[fishing]] labor enabled will begin to catch vermin fish from nearby murky pools. Fish population will run out very quickly and can be easily fished to local [[extinction]].

=== Water source ===
A murky pool can be used as a water source, but this is not recommended. Drinking stagnant water will give dwarves an unhappy [[thought]], and using stagnant water to wash a [[wound]] will lead to [[health care#Infection|infection]]. Building a [[well]] will not clean the water. Filtering stagnant water through a [[screw pump]] ''will'' clean the water, which can then flow into a dwarf-made [[cistern]]. Dwarves generally won't use stagnant water from murky pools if [[alcohol]] or clean water is available.

== Removal ==
In order to remove a murky pool, you must first remove the water. There are several ways to achieve this:
# Let the pool evaporate (only works in hot/scorching climates)
# Dig into the pool from the side and let the water drain away to somewhere else
# Drain the pool with [[screw pump]]s

The bottom of a murky pool will keep its "murky pool" status, presumably to let the game know that water should collect there during rain storms. You can't build certain buildings, including [[farm plot]]s, on dry "murky pool" tiles. Murky pool tiles will also block [[trade depot]] access. To de-murk those tiles, simply build a [[paved road]] on top of them, and then remove it. The floor covered by the road will become standard soil once the road is removed. Be aware that once you do this the tiles won't gather rainwater anymore.

== Dangers ==
When frozen murky pools thaw, they do so instantly. Any dwarf standing on the ice will plunge into the water with a risk of drowning if they can not find a nearby ramp quick enough. Unless they have adequate or better [[swimming]] skills, the fall will [[status icon|stun]] them, increasing the chance of death.

Similarly, when the pool freezes it does so instantly. If a dwarf is in a murky pool when winter comes (perhaps because the water is shallow enough to walk through) and the water freezes, the dwarf will be encased in the ice and immediately die. To reduce the chance of this happening, you can use [[traffic]] designations: mark the ice as restricted, and put a high traffic ring around the perimeter of the pool. Or, if you don't need to fish from it, you can construct a [[wall]] around it or a [[floor]] over it.

Mocha2007: /* Diacritic meaning */

{{distinguish|wikipedia: Quenya|l1 = Quenya|wikipedia: Sindarin|l2 = Sindarin}}
The '''Elvish language''' is one of the [[language]]s the player will come across. This language is used in-game for the names of the universe, continents, rivers, elvish governments and settlements, elves, artifacts and engravings. However, as of yet, it lacks everything necessary for proper conversation, like grammar or personal pronouns.

==Alphabet==
The letters of the Elvish alphabet are:

* Elvish has no [[wikipedia:diphthongs|diphthongs]].
* Possible [[wikipedia: syllable structure|syllable structure]] (C)(C)V
===Diacritic meaning===
The Elvish language has two diacritics ([[wikipedia:Grave accent|◌̀]] and [[wikipedia:Acute accent|◌́]]) used on four vowels (''e'', ''i'', ''o'', and ''u''). Its possible that this is just a simpler version of the Dwarven language's system, with just high and low pitch. It's also possible that the two diacritics represent short and overlong vowels, and no diacritic represents a long vowel.

It's interesting that ''A'' stands out as the one vowel with no diacritics, while in Dwarven it's the one with the most.

The average word in the Elvish language is 4.993 letters long. The longest known words are ''thitathi'' ("admire"), ''thafatha'' ("battle"), ''riquethi'' ("chop"), ''lethathi'' ("glum"), ''thavetha'' ("mauve"), ''thethéfa'' ("meal" (paste)), ''cèthutha'' ("mine"), ''tithithi'' ("pepper"), ''quathari'' ("play" (perform)), ''thawathi'' ("post"), ''naquithe'' ("rabble"), ''thatheci'' ("rustic"), ''nethitha'' ("squid"), ''fithithe'' ("stretch"), ''thanetha'' ("ungodly"), and ''tholatho'' ("waste").

The average word has 2.556 syllables. Words either have two or three syllables.

'''Tiles''' are the squares that form a map. They are ''approximately'' two meters long, two meters wide, and three meters high.<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140544.msg6700479#msg6700479 <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]</sup> There are 48x48 tiles in a a 1x1 [[embark]]; this is also the scale of overland travel tiles in [[Adventure Mode]]. 16x16 region tiles, the maximum embark size, covers a world map tile. A single world map tile would contain 768x768, or 589824 local tiles (approx. 1536 meters across). As worlds can have between 17 and 257 world map tiles, a world in DF is between 26 and 400 kilometers across with a maximum area of ~155,829 square kilometers - slightly larger than England and Wales.

A tile consists of two sections—a wall section and a floor section, shown in cross-section like this:
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor Section
When digging and building this is important, since some designations and constructions will only be done in wall tiles and some others will only be done in floor tiles.

==Stairs==
Building a [[stair]]way consists of two elements: an up stair and a down stair, each element is built only in the matching tile section, across two z-levels, like this:
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section |--> Open Space
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor
An up-down stair or building both up and down stairs in the same tile, works like this:
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section ▒▒▒ |--> Up Stair | Up/Down
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | | Stair
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | ▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| ▒▒▒ -| |
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Down Stair -|
==Walls==
Both natural occurring and constructed walls span across two z-levels, the bottom wall section and floor and the top floor section:
-|
|
|--> Open Space Wall
|
|
-|
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -|
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ |--> Wall Section |--> <material> Wall
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ | |
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ -| |
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ----> Floor -|
==Supports and Fortifications==
Unlike walls, [[support]]s span only one z-level, allow liquids and movement, and don't create a floor on top.
Constructed fortifications are basically the same but block movement as well. Note, however, that fully submerged (depth of 7/7) fortifications no longer block creature movement.

[[Statue]]s block normal movement, but not unintended movement (dodging, being thrown, swept by current, etc.). Statues do not block fluids.

'''Axolotl men''' are humanoid versions of the common [[axolotl]] and a [[Creature|species]] of unremarkable [[animal people]], found in [[savage]] [[tropical]] [[lake]]s. They are a bit over half the size of [[dwarf|dwarves]] when adults and spawn in groups of 1 to 5 individuals. They should pose no threat to [[Dwarf|dwarves]] unless provoked.

Like other savage animal people, axolotl men may occasionally join [[civilization]]s, becoming full-fledged citizens who may appear in your fortress as [[visitor]]s or be playable in [[adventurer mode]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] axolotl men for their ''gills''.

'''Anole men''' are humanoid versions of the common [[anole]] and a [[Creature|species]] of unremarkable [[animal people]], found in [[savage]] [[tropical]] [[forest]]s. They are a little over half the size of [[dwarf|dwarves]] when adults and spawn in groups of 1 to 5 individuals. They should pose no threat unless provoked. All anole men are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Like other savage animal people, anole men may occasionally join [[civilization]]s, becoming full-fledged citizens who may appear in your fortress as [[visitor]]s or be playable in [[adventurer mode]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] anole men for their ''dewlaps'' and their ''ability to change color''.

Modification:Deserted squad mod

2017-06-23T20:49:50Z

Mocha2007:

{{mod}}
This mod is presumed abandoned, as the developer seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth.

Dwarf Fortress Deserted Squad: HELL UNLEASHED is an expansion on DF: Deserted Squad. The original is currently under development by BW Mods. The mod will include several modifications, such as:

== Telepaths ==
*Ancient Telepaths are pure-blooded, and can create powerful weapons using their knowledge of nature.
Weapons include: Staves, Wands, Books, Dragonswords, and Throwing Darts [tipped w/ poison]

*Medieval Telepaths have tainted blood, and lack the knowledge required to manufacture
Staves, Wands, Books, and [[Dragonswords]].

*Modern Telepaths are humans with some mental powers. Some call them Psychics. They cannot
create or use any weapons of the Ancient Telepaths, and only have three of the Powers--Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Teleportation. Thus, they are weak.

== Basilisks ==
*Red Basilisks found inside volcanoes

*Blue Basilisks found in bodies of water

*Cyan Basilisks found everywhere but water and in magma

*Green Basilisks found in forests

== Dwarves ==
*Mountain Dwarves life in cities above the ground

*Deep Dwarves live in tunnels beneath the earth, and have so adapted.

*Forest Dwarves live in forest retreats, much like the elves.

== Gods ==
*Can come down to assist or attack your settlement.

== Wyyvern Guards ==

Animated statues made of Goldsteel, designed to defend the fortress. Can supplement a Dwarven Military.

== Minerals added ==
Dragonstone used for strengthening weapons

Darkstone cannot be used for forging directly, but can be mixed with iron to form Darkmetal,
a magic-absorbing substance that can be used to create armor or weapons to be used by those possessing no magic of their own.

Gen, an embodiment of magic itself, can be added to any mineral to create Genmetal, the rarest metal of all.

Goldsteel, an alloy of gold, Gen, and Darkstone, can be used to make powerful weapons like Wyyvern Guards

== Additional Info ==

Deserted Squad will also come with a fortress already settled, with a military and equipment selected to ensure military efficiency.

== Future Plans? ==

Another mod '''may''' be released, under the name of "DFDS: Dark Warriors".

{{Modification
| name = Chaos Reigns
| version = 0.94b
| df version = 0.28.181.40a
| last update = 8/28/2008
| download = http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=23878.0
}}

Chaos Reigns (0.94b) is a modification by Deathbane, and can be found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=23878.0 forum], featuring 13 civilizations, all of which are playable (many by default!) It also introduces a slew of new mega-beasts (Like the Steel Colossus), new metals (such as Mithril), new stones (woadstone), civilization-unique trap components(such as magical wards for Wizards), and much more!

The difficulty has in many ways been increased, and in others reduced. For example, plump helmets grow rate has been drasticly reduced (to 600), and the introduction of multiple new trap_avoid threats, and metals like Keen, an alloy of steel and impure mithril, which many of your enemies have access to. On the other hand, a military outfitted with Keen goes through goblins, orcs (Note: Not orc mod-based), and many other more primitive civs.

The below information is taken from the forum post, observation, and the RAWs.

== Story ==

Set 80 years after the Armok's fell bastions were cast from the world by the allied powers mon¡an•va (The Watchers), Oram is once again beset
by War and Strife. Although 'The Enemy' has been removed from this sphere and locked into Empyreon, many of his most foul
servants escaped destruction, and the many tainted creations that once served him still wander the face of Oram.

The war of the greater powers had far reaching effects - the destruction of the star jewel and the age of darkness led to periods
in Orams history where once allies turned amongst themselves. The greatest of these events, the Kin-slaying, led to the fragmentation of the once mighty elvish race, and the hatred and conflicting lies spread by Armoks servants about the destruction of the star jewel led many of the once allied peoples - Humans, Wizards, Dwarves, Elves - to break oaths of allegiance and wage bitter wars.

The aftermath of this period is obvious - None of the once great peoples trust each other no longer, and open war is once again
threatening to further diminish the strength of the once allied kingdoms.

However, it is not just these races that have suffered. The entombing of Armok into Empyreon destroyed much of the kingdom built by
the Mother of the Night, a mon¡an•va that had governed the benign creatures in the catacombs beneath the world. Having already suffered from many of their kind being took captive and twisted into cruel, evil forms by Armok, and the infiltration of his many evils that dwelt beneath the earth, such as the much feared race of spiders, many of the under dwellers were killed as ethereal fire ripped the deep places of Oram apart. The Mother of the Night herself was slain in the crossfire in the last great battle. Those that survived, have in the current age, with the exception of the Kobolds and creatures such as batmen, have succumbed to Armoks poison, twisted beyond recognition from their original forms. Many more pursue their own agendas, bitter at the world of light and Armoks Hell that has taken so much from them.

Armoks forces themselves have not escaped the confusion following the entombing of their lord, and the replacement of the star jewel by the new vessels of light - the moon and sun in the Age of Strife.
Cut off from their master, many of his once most trusted followers - Demons and the dreaded Vampires - pursue their own ends.
Even the most loyal of his forces, such as Chosen warriors wage wars on once former allies, led by dark powers that seek to surmount Armok and take his place
as the new lord of the fates of Oram.

As the survivors from the Age of Strife begin to rebuild their civilizations, only one thing is clear.

In this age, there is no peace, no respite. Only an unending fight for the survival of Oram.

== New From Vanilla ==
The following features have been added, or changed.
=== Races ===
Races added or changed from Vanilla
==== Wizards ====
Men and women gifted with an unnatural attunement to the spheres of magic, some believe by The Watchers to combat the new threat from Armok. Even though the relatively new order managed to destroy the Order of the Forked Serpent, they were exiled due to the accusation that all magic power was derived from Armok, and not The Watchers as was originally thought. In the Ages between the Age of Strife and The Age of Myth, the Wizard order has grown from a collection of like minded exiles into a kingdom of its own, creating an army of gifted men and women that strive to hold Armoks tide of darkness back.

*Most weapons are magic staffs, ranging in damage!
*Have no conventional melee weapons, although staff can be used in close combat, and they make, distribute and use enchanted weapons.
*Has no 'hard' armor, only soft armor. They also employ the use of magical items to shield them from attacks, rings that can bend sword blades and divert incoming projectiles.
*Has magical unarmed attacks, and can throw fireballs limited distances, even when unarmed.
*Weak stature means they are slower and more vunerable to melee attacks
*Have religion based on regional powers, with appropriate religion spheres
*Have unique trap components

==== 'Eastern' humans ====
(A.K.A. Suku Humans)
Men allied for most of the ages with the elves, and for the most part have avoided the fall of their race to Armok.
How long they can avoid being drawn into the conflict is a matter is just that - a matter of when rather than if.

*Are faster, more agile but slightly weaker than normal humans due to their training style and affiliation with the elves.
*Weapons either do more damage and are heavier, or less damage, lighter but with higher critical hit.
*Have a pantheon religion, restricted to represent their belief systems.

==== Orcs ====
Creatures not seen before the fall of the Star-jewel, the method of their creation by Armok is unknown. Vast numbers of them were
bred during the age of darkness following its destruction, and many survived the fate of destruction and entombment. They continue
the will of Armok, being much more loyal than the original armok foot-soldier, the goblin.

*Tower above men and are powerful in close combat.
*Will not flee battles
*Armed and armored like goblins. Game will generate a random number of Orc/Goblin civilizations
*Are lead by a champion of Armok
*Have unique trap components

==== Chosen Warrior ====
Men fallen to Armok during the Age of Strife, and mutated horribly by his dark powers. They are the most dreaded
of Armoks foot troops, being the best armed and armored, and trained by a life of savagery to believe that only the spilling of blood in Armoks name is the destiny of them and their kin. They show no remorse or fear, and are so filled with the remnants of Armoks spirits that blows that would kill most men are simply shrugged off without notice.

*Wield weapons that do incredible amounts of damage, and wear armor that can turn even a deathblow into only a fleshwound.
*Have no ranged weapons beneath siege engine size - such weapons are not for Armoks chosen.
*Fanatical and crazed, and will fight to the death.
*Are lead by a champion of Armok
*Can enter martial trance, fuelled by Armoks dark energies.
*Have unique trap components

==== Dark Elves ====
Elves that assented to the kinslaying the Age of Strife, and therefore doomed their souls for eternity. The
curse of spilling their owns race blood was harsh, forcing the perpetrators to slowly degenerate from what they once were to creatures
ruled by vampyric urges and lusts, their every waking hour directed only in the perfection of cruelty, torture and blood spilling.

Godless and Abandoned, the Dark Elves show an alarming cohesion. What new dark powers command them only they themselves know - it is unknown if they are directed by old allies of Armok, or never before encountered mon¡an•va or fimean•va is unknown

*Are armed with vicious weapons that are designed to cause the maximum amount of pain to their enemies, and kill them through blood-loss and poison rather than a swift end. Although more damaging, this means that the weapons often stick into opponents. Their weapons are also heavier than those of high elves, having lost most of the finesse of craft they once possessed.
**However, their equipment is still lighter than that of human manufacture.
*Armor provides the same level of protection as human armor, but is lighter in construction.
*Their darkbows are of more use in close combat, sporting blades from the upper and lower limbs of the weapon. The ammo these weapons fire are also prone to becoming stuck in their targets.
*Their curse to Armok, combined with an elves natural atunement, has allowed some amongst them to wield powerful, dark magic with which to unleash death upon their enemies.
*Can enter martial trance.
*Worships evil gods, mon¡an•va or fimean•va attempting to fill the vacuum of power left by Armok
*Unlike normal elves, dark elves are mortal - although showing no signs of aging, they are a forsaken race, and are doomed to leave the mortal plane.
*Have unique trap components

==== Sorcerers of Armok ====
When men were first granted the gifts of magic, to command the force of the magical spheres to standards even the elves did not have, there were those who used it for their own gain. These men easily succumbed to the temptations of Armok, and when they learned that through Armok, they could achieve power and immortality beyond their comprehension, The Order of the Forked Serpent was founded to overthrow those in power. The destruction of the Order, and the dispersion of its members led to the exiling of all the practitioners of magic within the human kingdoms, a pyrrhic victory for the enemies of Armok.

The survivors of the Order of the Forked Serpent have rebanded under new names and monikers, and continue to work on their masterpiece - the release of Armok from Empyreon.

*Most weapons are magic staffs, ranging in damage! Being few in number and far older than the Wizards, they have mastered the use of magic, and have access to the most powerful staffs.
*Have no conventional melee weapons, although staff can be used in close combat, and they use possessed weapons.
*Have no 'hard' armor, only soft armor. They also employ the use of magical items to shield them from attacks, rings that can bend sword blades and divert incoming projectiles.
*Have magical unarmed attacks, and can throw fireballs limited distances, even when unarmed.
*Unlike 'normal' wizards, sorcerers are maintained by the powers of Armok, and have none of the physical weaknesses of wizards, and seem to feel no pain, or show any signs of fear.
*Are lead by a champion of Armok
*Have unique trap components

==== Vampires ====
During the Age of Darkness, Armok came across those creatures that would become to be known as humans still awaiting to awake by the command of The Sleeper. By his foul methods, Armok awakened these creatures and deceived them, telling them that he was their creator. His chosen children became the creatures mortals and Elves now name Vampires, deadly creatures of the night that maintain their existence by the consumption of blood. In the Age of Darkness, until Armoks entombment, their numbers grew great and the first awakened, named Nosferatu in their own foul language went forth and propagated their species in the darkness, preying on any human and elf alike. When the Sun were fixed in the Skies above the lower sphere, the vampires, long having fallen to Armok and never seeing the light of the Star-crystal, were burned and consumed by its rays, and could scarce endure its gaze for long at first, and thus the reign of terror they had caused ceased. It was long ere before they could stand even in moonlight, and after the emtombment, what was left of the vampire race was confined to raiding settlements in the night just to survive. In the Age of Myth, as Armoks power began to return, they took up residence once again in their tower of old assigned to them by the dark powers.

*Immortal race exceedingly dangerous in unarmed close combat
*Undead, with only the removal of the head or destruction of the heart killing them utterly. They are also supernaturally energetic, being able to cover ground at great speed and do not tire in combat.
*Vampires do not bleed, do not tire, and have no need for normal sustainance.
*Whilst they use all human weapons, and armor similar to that of the dark elves, they also have ancient weapons that have seen use since the Age Of Darkness. These blades are un-naturally sharp, and have higher damage and lower stick chance than normal weapons of the same type.
*Are lead by a champion of Armok
*Have unique trap components

==== Goblins ====
Survivors of the original armies of Armok during the War of Jewelled Star, and the War of Night, now playable to allow
for the satisfaction of human town slaughtering the good old fashioned way, with Armokian steel!

Mostly unchanged from the dwarf fortress version.

==== Kobolds ====
Remnants of the once great civilization that dwelt beneath the worlds surface, before the entombment of Armok in his realm
of Empyreon, the kobolds of the known ages are mere shadows of what they once were.

*Mostly unchanged from the dwarf fortress version.
*changed to have most professions and have had some changes to their relationships.

==== High Elves ====
Those who survived the kin-slaying of the elves, although vastly diminished in power, continue their struggle against Armok.

- Live in cities and have new weapons and armor (Usually made of Keen), tougher, more militaristic, but fewer in number than Wood elves.

==== Wood Elves ====
After the kin-slaying, many elves forsook the war against Armok, which they saw as being unwinnable without the direct influence of The Watchers. Believing themselves cursed and at fault for the destruction of many things in the lower sphere, they now try to safeguard the life of the world against either of the warring factions. They despise Armok, but equally those who oppose him at the cost of the other creatures and spirits that walk the wilds.

*Default elves, pretty unchanged from the normal dwarf fortress type. However, their natural affinity has drawn Nature spirits, lower lesser watchers, to guide them in protection of the forests, and have manifested themselves as great, animated trees which protect the territories of the wood elves.

*They also no longer consume the flesh of the dead, like in the default dwarf fortress.

==== Dwarves ====
*New weapons and Armor, that provide slightly more protection and damage, but are slightly heavier than the standard equipment. Also, they have been granted a unique weapon, known as a thunderhammer, which is a powerful dwarf constructed war hammer that competes, damage wise, with some of the two handed weapons they are unable to wield.

*Have a new unique trap component, giant hammers.
*ALL dwarven embarks have access to Keen, and make their weapons and armor out of it, drastically increasing price of weapons.

==== Humans ====
(AKA Stauros Humans)
* Have a king, like the old version, and may also have mayors as well as military leaders.

=== Creatures ===
==== Changed ====
*Body (thanks to deon for the core of the system)
**Totally new body structure and system! More joints to snap, separation of organs etc. (90% done!) Special body system for certain creatures, such as vampires.
***Some creatures still use old body tokens and not the new body system. Fish and other creatures are also not included in the body system update
*Many megabeasts have been buffed, and colossus's and titans given the ability to use weapons.
*Many power creatures and demons now use weapons which they will drop on death as a reward.
*Most megabeasts now drop rewards for killing them, that fits into the backstory.

*Jadebronze and Jadeiron - elemnts combined with magical woadstone to improve their effectiveness!
*Wraithbone - A metal made by enchanting the bones of the dead with magical woadstone, the result is a macabre metal that is stronger than bronze, but less than iron.
*Dragonsteel- A mythical metal even rarer than mithril or adamantine. It is the result of the compressed soul of a dragon, and can only be obtained by killing the creature.

== Notes ==

When playing fortress mode, it's recommended (unofficially) to disable playing as civs you aren't interested in playing at the time, as they will send 'hamlet liaison's, among other things, rather than merchants guild representatives. Additionally, it's thought that they will not siege you.<sup>(Need to check)</sup>

Utility:SoundSense/Documentation

2017-06-23T20:49:05Z

Mocha2007:

SoundSense is a sound-engine tool which replaces the single background guitar with a collection of sounds and music that play depending on context.

SoundSense has a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60287 bay12 forum thread], an [http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/ official website], and is open source [https://code.google.com/p/df-soundsense/ here].

This page is for technical documentation, advanced instructions, advice for modders, and so on.

[[Utility:SoundSense|Here's the main page for this utility]]

<div style="width: 40%">__TOC__</div>

==Installation==

SoundSense is included and preconfigured in [[Utility:Lazy_Newb_Pack|the Lazy Newb Pack]] and requires no setup. For manual installation, continue...

Installing and configuring software can be intimidating if you are not an IT nerd. And this
is no exception with SoundSense. But bear with me and it can actually be pretty easy.

'''Non-scary instructions:'''

* Install the java runtime 7. Get it [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u3-download-1501631.html here].
* Download and extract SoundSense (It does not matter where.)
* Download soundpack.zip and extract the "packs" folder to SoundSense directory
* Run soundsense.cmd or soundsense.exe

First, you need to have the java runtime installed. It can be downloaded from the java
homepage. To determine if your computer already has the correct installation of java, go
to the Start button, left click "Run..." from the bottom of the menu, type in "cmd" in the
dialog that opens, and press the [OK] button. A dark windows pops up and you will be at a
command prompt. Type in "java -version" and press [Enter].

A few lines starting with [java version "1.7.0_03"] or something similar should appear. If
that case is the case, you are good to go. But if you see [java version "1.6.x_xx" or an
earlier version (lower number), you will need to download and install the latest java.

If something similar to ['java' is not recognized as an internal or external command]
appears, either java has not been installed yet or it was not installed correctly. If
your case is the latter, it may be possible to work around the problem by editing the
soundSense.cmd (in your SoundSense directory). Open it with Notepad and find line line
starting with "java -Dja..." and replace the "java" part with the full path for your java
installation. For example: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin\java.exe"

That was the hard part.

Now, where to install it? SoundSense expects to be in a sub-directory that is inside your
Dwarf Fortress directory. So, for example, if you have Dwarf Fortress in F:/df_31_18_win/,
you should unpack the contents of SoundSense zip to F:/df_31_18_win/soundsense/. By
default, you want to make sure that the .cmd file you use to launch SoundSense is inside a
sub-directory of (i.e., below) the DF folder where gamelog.txt is located.

If you want to install to a different location, you need to edit configuration.xml and
edit the <gamelog path="../gamelog.txt"/> line. Replace "../gamelog.txt" with the path to
where Dwarf Fortress is located. For example: "F:/df_31_18_win/gamelog.txt"

SoundSense is now all set up and ready to run. But you still need the actual sounds and
music that it will play. So download soundpack.zip and unzip the "packs" directory and all
the contents inside that to the SoundSense directory.

You can start SoundSense by launching (double left-clicking) either soundSense.cmd or
soundSenseExe.cmd. (Using the latter should give you clearer error messages regarding a
bad java installation.) If you like, you can create a shortcut to soundSense.cmd, rename
it "SoundSense" and move it to your desktop for easy access.

Finally, remember that SoundSense needs to run in the background. Ideally, you should
start SoundSense BEFORE you start Dwarf Fortress.

==Known Issues==

===Moments of Silence===

Occasionally, the music in SoundSense will stop for a short period (10, 20, or 30 seconds)
before resuming. This is not a bug - it is intentional. This was done to let ears rest a
bit between tracks. (Research shows that ears which get a rest have time to recover and
are less likely to be damaged.) Also, a few tracks have a silent start and, at low volume,
may take a minute or longer to become audible. If in doubt, you can see what is currently
playing in GUI under the volume slider. During periods of silence, this will typically
show "10s silence" or similar.

===Game Loads and the Music is Random===

When a game is loaded, SoundSense picks a random seasonal music track to play. This is not a bug - it is intentional. There is no way for SoundSense to detect what season it is when a game is loaded, so a random soundtrack is chosen. But when the season next changes, it will choose the correct soundtrack.

This can be fixed using a dfhack plugin (soundsense-season) which writes the season to the gamelog when a world is loaded. This plugin is included with recent versions of soundsense.

===Adventure Mode - A Bit Lacking===

Adventure Mode kind of works. The battle sounds function quite well because they are
mostly the same as those in Fortress Mode. But SoundSense is still a bit lacking in other
adventure sounds. The problem is that Adventure Mode does not log many other useful
events. For example, encountering a megabeast or a quest mob is resolved in chat, leaving
no message in the game log to trigger SoundSense.

Improvements in how DF handles logging could benefit both SoundSense and DF as a whole.
Such suggestions have already been posted in the official Dwarf Fortress forums:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=64834.0

===Event Detection: Better Late Than Never?===

In some cases, by the time SoundSense detects conditions to trigger an alert, it may be
too late to react to the situation. For example, a "Tantrum Spiral" might already be over
before the player can be alerted.

Part of this is a balance between detecting too many false positives and ignoring events
until it is too late to do anything. For example, a soldier might lose a pet and report
feeling like blowing off some steam... but instead of throwing a tantrum they calm down.

Another problem is FPS sensitivity. A specific sequence of events may trigger certain
alert sounds in a high FPS situation, but it might not trigger with low FPS. The sequence
of events might "time out". Also, pausing the game could cause similar problems.

===Compatible With DF Mods - Should Work, But NO PROMISES===

SoundSense was mainly designed for "vanilla" (unmodified) Dwarf Fortress. It should work
fine with most mods. However, I can not guarantee compatibility. Some mods, especially
"major" or "full conversions", may create unusual behavior and involve dangerous events
that SoundSense was not designed to detect.

Another words, SoundSense may lack sounds for certain mod-specific events. (E.g.; you
should NOT expect SoundSense to include gunshot sounds for mods that add guns! But you CAN
modify SoundSense yourself to do this.) Conversely, some events that work normally in
vanilla DF may trigger so frequently with a mod as to be very annoying.

===On some Linux===

====Error on 'soundSense.sh' call: "/bin/sh^M : wrong interpret"====

File "soundSense.sh" has CR+LF characters at lines ending.
Convert these characters to a more suitable form, with a tool like "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix2dos dos2unix]":
dos2unix soundSense.sh
Shell script should then be run without previous error.

Also using sed you can try this:
# IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format.
sed -i -e 's/\r$//' ./soundSense.sh
IF launching .sh file after that, says that something is wrong on the last line, when you try to launch sh. Just check, if "fi" is present there instead of "f" or smth like that.

====Error at playing any MP3 file: "javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException: could not get audio input stream from input file: could not get audio input stream from input file"====

Your Java virtual machine failed at reading MP3 files as audio stream. This could fix by adding to JVM an extra plugin: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download-137625.html JMF MP3 Plugin].
Download plugin, and put *.jar files into your JVM "lib/ext/" directory.

====Error at playing any MP3 file: "javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable"====

Whereas your JVM succeeded in reading MP3 file as audio stream, it failed to access to an audio device. If your audio system uses [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture Alsa], you could install "aoss" utility, and "soundSense.sh" will call it. On Debian, package "alsa-oss" provides this utility. '''Note: if you are on Ubuntu see below'''. Ubuntu uses PulseAudio backend, therefore toying with aoss is a waste of time.

On a MacOS (snow leopard), this problem has been solved by changing the format of all the sound files to ogg.

====I'm using PulseAudio and I still can't hear anything!====

First, '''be sure that you are using OpenJDK 7'''; you can't use OpenJDK 6 as it has quite a serious bug in its ALSA backend[http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6271108]. You can check what java you have installed by typing
java -version
in the terminal. You can install OpenJDK like this in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
('''The "update-alternatives" command will only work on 64bit Ubuntu'''; for 32bit version you need to replace the "amd64" with "i386" or something like that'''.)

Now, check the
/etc/java-7-openjdk/sound.properties
file for this:
# OpenJDK on Ubuntu is configured to use PulseAudio by default
javax.sound.sampled.Clip=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
javax.sound.sampled.Port=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

# PulseAudio not running? Please give feedback on LP: #407299.
#javax.sound.sampled.Clip=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.Port=com.sun.media.sound.PortMixerProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider

'''This will not work''', as OpenJDK's PulseAudio backend is buggy as hell. What you need to do is to comment out the PulseAudio and turn back on the old backend:

# OpenJDK on Ubuntu is configured to use PulseAudio by default
#javax.sound.sampled.Clip=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.Port=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider
#javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider

# PulseAudio not running? Please give feedback on LP: #407299.
javax.sound.sampled.Clip=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider
javax.sound.sampled.Port=com.sun.media.sound.PortMixerProvider
javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider
javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider

This should make the sound work. (If you don't know how to edit this then try typing "sudo nano /etc/java-7-openjdk/sound.properties" in the terminal.)

If you're using Sun/Oracle's JRE then switch to OpenJDK. If you don't want to do that (not recommended) then you might try to use the padsp wrapper or install osspd. If the padsp wrapper will not work properly for you then osspd daemon might just do the trick. (''[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pulseaudio#OSS Archlinux Pulseaudio user]'')

===Any Other Issues? Post Feedback===

There is a thread at the official Dwarf Fortress forums. Feel free to post any issues,
suggestions, and contributions there:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60287.0

When providing feedback about your experience with SoundSense, please specify which mods
(if any) you are using. If SoundSense seems to behave weirdly only for you, it just might
be from using certain mods.

==Customization==

You can insert additional sounds and music into SoundSense by adding entries to an .xml
configuration file. logPattern="regexp" is a regular expression which, if matched, will
cause a random soundFile from a list to be played. (Details on how java uses regular
expressions: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html )

===Sound element attributes:===

* ''logPattern'' - regular expression matching log line (see link above)
* ''channel'' - string; Specifies a channel on which sound is played. Sounds played on a channel can be looped or stopped prematurely.
* ''loop'' - string; Specifying "start" will start looping a sound on a channel until an expression with "stop" is triggered or until a different loop sound is played on the same channel. (If a non-looped sound is triggered on the same channel, this loop will resume when the non-looped is done playing.)
* ''concurency'' - number; The number of concurrent (i.e., simultaneous) sounds allowed to be played besides this sound. If SoundSense is currently playing more than this, the sound is ignored. The default is unlimited.
* ''timeout'' - number; This initiates a time out during which this particular sound is prevented from playing again. This is measured in milliseconds and the default is 0.
* ''delay'' - number; Adds a delay before the sound is played. This is measured in milliseconds and the default is 0.
* ''haltOnMatch'' - boolean; If this is set to True and more than one equivalent logPattern exists, SoundSense will only process the first logPattern expression. If it is False, it will continue to process matching (e.g., identical) logPatterns. The default is True.
* ''speech'' - boolean; If this is set to True, SoundSense will echo the gamelog text line (containing the logPattern) with a speech synthesizer instead of playing a sound. The default is False.
* ''playbackThreshhold'' - number, 0-4, defines level of filter which is applied to this sound.

===SoundFile element attributes:===

* ''fileName'' - the path to and name of the sound/music file
* ''weight'' - number; This controls the likelihood of a sound being chosen. Default is 100.
* ''volumeAdjustment'' - number; This can be used to adjust the volume of the sample. The value can range from -40 to +6 decibles and the default is 0.
* ''randomBalance'' - boolean, if set to true will randomply distribute sound between stereo channels.
* ''balanceAdjustment'' - number, adjusts stereo channel, can range for -1 (full left) to 1 (full right).

SoundSense supports these audio formats for soundFiles:

* mp3 (SoundSense can normalize the sound volume with this format)
* ogg (works, but SoundSense can not normalize the sound volume)
* wav (See note below. SoundSense only supports "Windows PCM" encoded .wav files)
* aiff
* au

Note: Not all .wav files are supported...

SoundSense supports .wav encoded in the "Windows PCM" format. However, some files with the
.wav extension are actually encoded in some other proprietary format. A sound format
conversion utility (such as FormatFactory) could be used to fix them.

===Some Tips:===

; Control of Randomness: Each logPattern expression can contain several soundFile elements. When it is triggered, one of them is randomly chosen to play. You can control the probability of each sound being chosen by adding the weight="number" attribute.
; Simultaneous Sounds: By default, only one sound will play for a given logPattern, even if there are several expression using identical logPatterns. (Only the first expression is processed.) But you can allow more than one sound to be played for same pattern by giving the first one the haltOnMatch="false" attribute. They will all start at same time (unless one or more of them also has a delay). An example is in Seasons.
; Sequential Sounds: Two (or more) sounds can be played sequentially (one after the other) for the same logPattern by using the haltOnMatch="false" tip above and including a delay attribute for one of them with a delay that surpasses the length of the other.

===Helpful files:===

* packSkeletons.zip ( http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/packSkeletons.zip ) - This contains .xml files for all known gamelog lines currently without sounds. You can use this as a starting point to expand SoundSense.
* missingMessages.cmd - Run this program to parse your gamelog.txt file and output all lines your sound packs will not recognize.
* logging.properties - Edit this file to enable more debug messages from SoundSense. Set ".level = ALL" to view a very verbose output.

===Sources of sound & music:===

The following are some sites of interest, should you want additional sounds/music.

===How to add music to seasonal playlist:===

It is rather easy. Locate '''seasons.xml''' in ''soundpack/seasons'' directory.

This file contains definition of two sets of sounds: First, there are four definitions for playing voiced announcements (''<sound logPattern="Spring has arrived!" haltOnMatch="false" playbackThreshhold="3">'') which are not interesting and should be left alone.

Seccond are main definitions of season music which start with ''<sound logPattern="(Spring has arrived!)|(Spring has arrived on the calendar\.)" loop="start" channel="music" playbackThreshhold="0">''.

You can simply add new ''<soundFile fileName="'''Name of your.mp3'''"/>'' and put it in seasons directory.

Utility:Dwarf Therapist/Addons Repository

2017-06-23T20:48:54Z

Mocha2007:

Recent version of Dwarf Therapists include a very large set of customizable tools for managing your dwarves, namely custom roles, custom professions, custom grid views, filter scripts, and optimization plans, which greatly enhance the user's ability to manage their fort in a well-optimized, pain-free manner. This page serves as a repository for packaged exports of custom definitions for these tools, created by other players and made available for other users here. This page is only meant to serve Splinterz's current fork of [[Utilities#Dwarf_Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]]; earlier versions of the utility did not yet implement many of the features described here. If you need help understanding what's documented on this page, or would like to learn how to write Dwarf Therapist customizations yourself, refer to the {{dffd|7889|Dwarf Therapist User Guide}}. All exports should be hosted at the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/ Dwarf Fortress File Depot].

You are encouraged to standardize the upload format to "Dwarf Therapist Export---<Package Name>".


== Packages ==
'''Export packages''' are ZIP or other archive files containing a set of differing customizations all meant for a single purpose.

=== Military Starter Kit ===
{{DTAddon
| type = Packaged Export
| download link = {{dffd|9232}}
| author = ResMar
| comments = This ZIP file contains the customizations created over the course of the "Putting it all Together" section of the {{dffd|7889|Dwarf Therapist User Guide}}: a set of tools that makes military drafting into a much easier and more elegant process.
}}

== Custom Professions ==

=== Chesh05's Professions ===

{{DTAddon
| type = Custom Profession
| download link = [http://www.mediafire.com/download/9n94h4o147pi1yp/Chesh05+Custom+Professions+Last+Updated+November+2014.dtp Chesh05 Custom Professions]
| author = [https://www.reddit.com/user/chesh05 Chesh05]
| comments = Last Updated Nov 11, 2014
A collection of basic custom professions
}}
== Grid Views ==
'''Grid views''' are the main list view in Dwarf Fortress they are accessible via the tabs at the top of the list view (Labors, Military, Social, etc.).

=== Compact Labors View ===
{{DTAddon
| type = Grid View
| download link = {{dffd|9233}}
| author = ResMar
| comments = An even smaller version of the default Labor view which merges all of the hauling sublabors into one "Hauling" column. This view is recommended for 21-inch screens, as it allows you to use the labor view with left or right-mounted docks without resorting to a horizontal scrollbar.
}}

=== Masterwork Dwarf Therapist ===
Highly customized version of Dwarf Therapist for use with Masterwork dwarf fortress. It uses the same binary build as Splinterminds, just uses a new .dtg (default grid view) as well as a .ini file that covers name changes for Masterwork. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=132010.0

== Filter Scripts ==
'''Filter scripts''' are simple commands that determine what dwarves to show in the main DT window. For example, a "military only" filter script would hide all the non-military dwarves. It is like a "search" for your dwarves.

=== Pending Changes ===
Displays only those dwarves with pending changes.

I pretty much use the 1st three every migrant wave.
I use an optimization plan to single out militia dwarfs (ranged and melee) to weaving (weapon, melee) and alchemy (archers, i.e. crossbowdwarfs).

Then I run the second script to see who rates high for noble roles, and pick them

Then I run the 3rd to apply a labor optimization plan.

=== ResMar's "Working Class Dwarves" / Military Recruitment Availability Filter ===

This is the large filter from the [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7889 Dwarf Therapist User Guide] by ResMar. It is explained in Chapter IV's "Writing Complex Scripts" section.

Here is an explanation of the characteristics it selects for:

This filter is designed to show dwarves that are available for full-time assignment to useful tasks, such as military recruitment. These so-called "working class dwarves" will meet the following requirements:

# They have all hauling labors enabled. This is one of the most apparent indicators of a “working class” dwarf, but it’s nowhere near exclusive.
# They don’t have a nickname. Assuming you follow the advice given in “Assigning Nicknames”, nicked dwarves have already been dedicated to something.
# They have the masonry and/or stone detailing labors enabled, but are never above “adequate” skill in the former (since actually building stone blocks is assigned to dedicated masons), and never above “competent“ in the latter (I consider “skilled” the breaking point for when an engraver is actually worth his salt, and should be taken out of the working-class pool).
# They are not enlisted in the military (at least, not permanently). At least in my fortress, once a crossbowdwarf, always a crossbowdwarf slash hunter.
# They don't have certain “key” labors that are handled by dedicated dwarves enabled (mining, carpentry, woodcutting, stonecrafting, cooking, brewing, any of the metalsmithing tasks, either of the jewelry tasks, and clothesmaking). The precise composition of this list may vary somewhat for you, but most players learn to dedicate certain tasks to certain dwarves to maximize results very quickly.
# If they are skilled in certain useless or niche tasks (animal caretaking, small animal dissection, fish dissection, bee keeping, wax working, soap making) they have those tasks enabled. No one creates extra work for themselves by actually turning these off, at least not until you want this dwarf doing something for you.

From [http://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1d39kd/anyone_have_a_good_optimizer_plan/ a reddit thread]. Emphasizes trapping and hunting, which may not be to everyone's playstyle.

The author noted: When starting with the optimization plan on a new embark, set max jobs to 10. The dwarfs will usually have enough skills in certain areas to get 1-2 of each of the jobs that they should be good/great at. As you get more dwarfs in the fort you will if you see fit need to lower the max jobs to 7, then 5 and then fiddle with the percent total jobs to keep the workers and haulers how you would like.

I tend to use 5-10 max jobs, and a hauler percent that is less than the max jobs. You only want to have dwarfs who don't have many important jobs running around hauling. I suggest fiddling with your percent jobs and hauler percent until you find something that you enjoy for your forts.
}}

Note from SlyrDVS in a pm: I still have to sit down and plan the jobs out again, reoptimize for a new version. As for why I have so many trappers/hunters, they are the firstline defense, they can then later become the army. :P

=== Using AutoLabor to manage hauling jobs alongside Labor Optimizer ===
Since I prefer Dwarf Therapist's %'s on calculating my roles to labor mappings via the Labor Optimizer, I found the dynamic ability that autolabor has missing. So to alleviate this. I still do my own labor optimizations every few migrant waves; however, I get the advantage of autolabor's hauling behaviour (I believe it doesn't enable hauling on dwarfs that have a labor enabled for queued job).

Run this inside a DFHack console.

Note: To avoid manually running each line in the console, save this to a text file in your DF folder (e.g. "dtautolabor.txt") and run "script (filename)" in DFHack.

== Mass Nickname Assignment for Sub-set Identification ==

=== Workshop Profiles ===
By mass assigning nicknames inside Dwarf Therapist to "mark" dwarves, they can be easily found in workshop profiles (if using Masterwork Mod, DFHack is included, Alt Shift N sorts alphabetically).

This is useful for workshops in various mods that train skills that you wish were limited to certain dwarfs, such as dwarfs who have a skill that is to be trained. (ex... train your axedwarf for your militia dwarfs (these would be the dwarfs that would be tagged with the nickname), via the warfare library)

=== Using Labors to Mark dwarf's for Custom Professions/Super Labors, or for Militia purposes ===
In this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNVci8h1MkY), I actually do this method to assign my militia, but it could be extended for "super labors" as well.

What I do is assign a custom role to something I wish to assign that Dwarf Therapist doesn't currently support (such as assign militia dwarfs via the labor optimizer). So I use an optimization plan to assign a specific role (such as melee dwarfs) to a meaningless labor, then when the labors are assigned. I hand assign them inside the Therapist tool to the melee role.

One could use the same method to assign a dwarf to a custom profession that covers multiple labors (i.e. super labor concept).

It goes without saying that one should unassign the meaningless labor.

== Ratio's & hauling labors can be used to create throughput "levers" to target jobs ==

=== Hauling ===

A player can use hauling as a suppressor on dwarf's productivity.

Generally, assigning hauling tasks to dwarf's who have a lower # of jobs assigned to them than the other dwarf's:

Achieves the effect of suppressing low % scores to hauling tasks.

=== # of Job's Per Dwarf ===

A player can adjust this value before the optimization plan is ran. Need more jobs accomplished overall. Lowering the # when the fortress gets larger allows a player to allow his dwarf's to focus on higher skilled tasks.

=== # of Jobs per Dwarf===
In Dwarf Therapist, when editing an optimization plan, you can set the # of jobs each dwarf can have up to.

=== % Jobs to Assign===
When editing an optimization plan, the % of total jobs is the target # that is set. This % is based on Dwarfs Selected * Jobs per Dwarf, then there is an ~ number representing the results of our rounded ratio:job #'s.

=== Theory of Constraints===
The concept of lever's is borrowed from business concepts that try to maximize factory output. They understand that throughput of the factory is affected by variables that you can control, things like hours worked, overtime, etc.

In our case we can

1: Unassign hauling.

1.a: Threshold to start assigning hauling (editable inside the optimization plan)

2: Assign more labors for a specific labor by increasing it's ratio.

3: Create more workshops that accept said job.

4: Adjust the # of jobs per dwarf.

5: Adjust the % total jobs to assign.

Varying these values can result in higher throughput for a specific job when compared to other jobs.

Utility:Dwarf Companion

Mocha2007:

{{uv|40d}}
[[Image:dfcompanion1.png|thumb|This is a preliminary screenshot of the prototype.]]
= What? =

This project is about having a helper utility for dwarf fortress, hopefully filling gaps in the user interface. It will also allow some cool cheating, so that it would be possible to play with the engine. For example, you can now mark your nobles as butcherable! Ain't that cool?

For now, a '''PROTOTYPE''' utility is available, for testings. It uses python and requires many dependencies. It will end up as a standard .exe tool once features are ironed out.

It supports version 40d16, supposedly. The latest screenshot is at [http://bartabox.banquise.net/df/screen1.png this place].

= Important warning =
When fiddling with DF memory, you might get crashes. Here are two important advices:
* when writing into memory (like updating a creature's data), pause the game, load the data, update it, save it and then unpause the game
* do not teleport creatures that are hauling

= Self-packaged executables =
There is an executable version by [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] available that does not require Python or any of the other of the dependencies to be installed. Unzip it and run "dfcompanion_prototype.exe" to bring up the core companion window. The scripts available in the pure python version also have exe equivalents:
* revealVeins.exe - run with no arguments to reveal all vein tiles
* reveal.exe - run with no arguments to reveal the whole map (very slow, a C utility like Tweak is recommended for this task)
* designator.exe - see [[User:Bartavelle/DesignatorTiles]]
* changeProfession.exe - run through command prompt like "changeProfession [id] [profession]" where id is the ID of the dwarf you want to change (find this through core companion; pull up the profile of a dwarf and look in the window title) and profession is the profession to change to (Mason, Peasant, Speardwarf, etc.)

[http://www.pindi.us/files/df/dfcompanion-0.16-exe.zip Download (Version 0.16)].
[http://www.pindi.us/files/df/dfcompanion-0.17c-exe.zip Download (Version 0.17c)].

= How to install and run it =
You need to install several things first. Do it right, or it will not work.

* [http://www.python.org/download/ Python] (should work with any version)
* from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gladewin32/files/ this page], the latest "Gtk+/Win32 Runtime Environment Installer" (the files that is named like that : gtk-2.12.9-win32-2.exe, scroll down a bit).

* For users of the -any versions, or python 2.4 users, you must:
** Install the three modules from [http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html this page] (PyCairo, PyGObject, PyGTK)
** Grab the software, v0.17d, at [http://bartabox.banquise.net/df/companion-0.17d-any.zip this place].

* Reboot your computer. Although the software doesn't demand it, if you don't do so Python won't know where to find modules, leading to errors.
* Double click on "dfcompanion_prototype.py"!

= Problems? =
* Some black window flashes and nothing happens!
You should run it from the command line. Start / run / cmd.exe. Then type
----
cd c:\where\companion\is\located\

dfcompanion_prototype.py
----

You can copy by clicking on the top-right icon, and click copy in the Edit submenu. Then select with mouse, and press enter to copy.

* The error message is something about a not finding pygtk, pycairo or pygobject
You didn't install properly the 3 modules at the pygtk site (see link in the how section).

* The error messages says it can't find a dll
The GTK runtime environment is not properly installed.

* The error messages says something like "g_assert_warning not found in libglib-2.0.0.dll"
There is a DLL conflict. You should reinstall the GTK runtime environment. If this fails, you have to find the old DLL that is staying somewhere on your system and remove it. Probably in c:\windows\system32\

* No-one responds when I ask questions on the talk page.
Have everyone look at the discussion page on the off chance that they might know something.

= Usage - what can you do? =
First run Dwarf Fortress, and load your game. It won't work otherwise.

The general idea is to have the main window open next to your DF windows. It should help you play the game by providing useful hints while playing. Order dwarves using the column "alerts" so that most important stuff is on top : hungry, unhappy, moody, hurt dwarves. You can play with creatures and view detailed views of their attributes by double clicking them. Right now, you can interact by:
* clicking "heal", heals creature
* clicking "hurt", hurts creature
* clicking "apply", saves the following changes:
** position X,Y,Z
** strength, agility, toughness
** all flags (the checkbox stuff), most being unknown, please let us know about their use if you get it!
** pain, exhaustion, hunger, thirst, drowsiness
** race (still needs to be tested!)
** mood type (fey, macabre, ...), and mood skill increased

Interesting effects are [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-236-lazydwarvesmustdie butcherable dwarves] and [http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/7919/straydognz6.jpg Corbine's crazy dogs]. Oh, and skeletal legendary miners that turn against your fortress.

= Random questions =
* How to prevent a dwarf from bleeding to death ? Turn him zombie. It will make him hostile, but cure his bleeding. Turn him back when happy.
* Reveal like tools and discovering the underground features : you have to uncover a tile belonging to an underground feature for it to be officially found. Just unreveal some tiles and dig through them.

= dwarfdbg scripts =
Here is a collection of scripts that wouldn't fit in DC but might be useful. Copy them in the DC folder and run them.

Utility:DFHack/scripts

2017-06-23T20:48:44Z

Mocha2007: /* top */

DFHack is an advanced Dwarf Fortress memory access library and a set of tools and scripts using this library, providing direct object-oriented access to Dwarf Fortress's internals as if it were compiled into the game itself. Releases support versions up through DF 0.40.24 (as of June 3rd, 2015) and some of them have been [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/User:Quietust#DFHack-40d backported] to earlier versions. It runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS X. As of June 3rd 2015, the latest version is [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139553 DFHack 0.40.24-r3].

Originally a simple memory hacking tool, DFHack has grown to become a full-fledged unofficial extension of the game itself, adding in functionality where official development has lacked. Due to its open-source and collaborative nature, anyone can add their own contribution to this tool. There are different kinds of contributions:
*Binpatches are raw memory edits that alter the game's behavior, which is usually deduced from disassembling. Their main use is bugfixing or the removal of cumbersome, easily alterable constraints. They can be found in the hack/patches folder.
*Plugins are snippets of C++ code that uses DFHack's library to fix bugs or add functionality. They must be compiled before use and are thus platform and dfhack-version dependent. They can be found in the hack/plugins folder.
*Scripts are files written in a scripting language (usually Lua or Ruby) that when loaded by DFHack fix bugs or add functionality. Contrary to plugins, they are not compiled and can be transferred between any platform. However any change within the DFHack data structures (between versions) may break some of these scripts.

This page's purpose is to provide a comprehensive collection of all the plugins, scripts and binpatches ever written.

Utility:DFHack/Programming

2017-06-23T20:48:40Z

Mocha2007: /* Create your very own plugin */

<pre>v1.1 (see change log at the end)</pre>

== INTRODUCTION ==

DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress (DF) memory access library and a set of basic tools that use it (see the readme at https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/blob/master/Readme.rst ).

It is possible for developers to write plugins for DFHack, in order to extend the capabilities of DFHack (and therefore DF's gameplay). The plugins come mainly in two flavours:
* C++ plugins: libraries written in C++ that need to be compiled. They can use DFHack's low level functions very closely, and they will be able to perform complex functions ''very'' quickly.
* Lua and Ruby scripts: text-based scripts which can be dropped into place and modified on the fly. Certain things can be easier to do, and error handling is better in general, but the downside is that they can be quite ''slow'' - for example, trying to reveal the entire map from Lua may take an entire minute, while the C++ plugin can do it in a tiny fraction of a second. This document is focused entirely on plugins - if you would like to learn more about writing scripts, see https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/blob/master/Lua%20API.rst

This document explains how to get started at writing C++ plugins with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, step by step. It is intended for people who are totally new to DFHack.

== Getting Dwarf Fortress ==

You'll need a test environment to run your script. Hence the need of getting DF. I'd recommend getting the latest "Lazy Newb Pack", which includes not only Dwarf Fortress but also DFHack and other nice things, ready-to-use:
* Download the latest "Lazy Newb Pack".
You can run DF once and observe the DFHack console. Type <code>die</code> in that window to observe that the command line works (<code>die</code> is a command to force-close DF).

== Getting DFHack ==

You must download the sources, and build them.
* Follow exactly the steps described in DFHack's readme: https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/blob/master/Compile.rst

== Make yourself comfy ==
=== Windows ===
As explained in the compiling guidelines (above), there are several scripts available, that will do different things : some will just build, some will also install the results to your DF's "hack" folder. To save some time, here is how you can set up Visual C++ to do a build+install every time you press <code>F7</code>:
* Open <code>dfhack.sln</code> in Visual C++
* Right-click on the Solution, and select "Properties"
* Go to "configuration properties"–>"Configuration"
* In the full list of projects, uncheck <code>ALL_BUILD</code>, and instead check <code>INSTALL</code>

== Create your very own plugin ==
; What are the requirements for a plugin?
* A set of C++ source files (there can be just one if you want!)
* The libraries (<code>.lib</code>) it will use
* The protobufs it will use (if any!)
Protobuf (protocol buffer) is a special serialization standard developed by Google, and its main use in DFHack is for communicating with other processes via TCP/IP (e.g. so you can write a separate application that communicates with DFHack to access/modify the game's memory). As such, it is outside of the scope of this document. Only a handful of plugins use that technology, such as <code>rename</code> and <code>isoworldremote</code>.

The libraries are all the 3rd-party libraries you want to use in your project. The good news is that most libraries normally used in C++ have a high probability to be already used by some other plugin. In most cases, the only special library you're going to use is going to be "lua", and only if your plugin is going to provide special functions that can be invoked from scripts.

; The first step is to add your plugin to the list of plugins :
* Open <code>dfhack/plugins/CMakeLists.txt</code>
* Locate the section listing all the plugins : they start with <code>DFHACK_PLUGIN</code>
* Add a line with your own plugin: <code>DFHACK_PLUGIN(myplugin myplugin.cpp)</code>, and save the file.
* Create a blank file called <code>myplugin.cpp</code> in <code>dfhack/plugins</code>, alongside all the other plugins

Now you need to run DFHack's awesome build scripts, to make them generate all the relevant project files for you:
* Observe all the batch files in <code>dfhack/build</code> starting with "generate"
* Run your favourite one. For example, you can choose <code>generate-MSVC-minimal.bat</code>
Once this finishes, Visual C++ will prompt you to reload the project if you have it open, and once you do so you'll notice that your project "myplugin" has magically appeared. However, since the source file is still blank, it's not exactly ready to compile.

== Mandatory C++ instructions ==

Open any simple plugin (e.g. <code>tubefill.cpp</code> ) and observe its structure.

At the top will be a block of #include statements to allow you to use DFHack. This block can vary, but in nearly all cases it should contain the following:

<pre>#include "Core.h"
#include "Console.h"
#include "Export.h"
#include "PluginManager.h"
#include "DataDefs.h"

using namespace DFHack;</pre>

These 5 headers are required for pretty much ''every'' plugin - depending on what you're doing, you'll want to include some extras as well.

Let's imagine your plugin will be a command called from DFHack's console. Well then, that command will call an actual function. It is that function that you declare here:

<pre>command_result tubefill(color_ostream &out, std::vector<std::string> & params);</pre>

For now, the function only gets declared, we'll define it later in the source code. You'll need to do the same, by replacing <code>tubefill</code> with
<code>myplugin</code>

Now, tell DFHack's global plugin engine to be aware of our plugin (so that it can load it, etc.):

<pre>DFHACK_PLUGIN("tubefill");</pre>
From now on, every time you see "tubefill", replace it with "myplugin".

; Each plugin has two central functions:
* <code>DFhackCExport command_result plugin_init(color_ostream&, std::vector<PluginCommand>&)</code>. This is run when the plugin gets loaded, whether or not its command gets run from the command line.
* <code>DFhackCExport command_result plugin_shutdown(color_ostream)&</code>. This is run when the plugin gets unloaded (i.e. when DFHack shuts down).
'''Note the <code>DFhackCExport</code> before the function signatures. This is required so that DFHack can load your plugin.'''

The <code>color_ostream&</code> parameter to these functions is an output stream that prints to the DFHack console. You can use this to output debug messages when your plugin is being loaded/unloaded. (An example of using such an output stream is given in the section [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Utility:DFHack/Programming#Simplest_possible_plugin:_Hello_world.21 Simplest possible plugin].)

The second parameter to the <code>plugin_init</code> function is important -- it is a reference to the list of available commands. You use this to add your own command which calls the <code>myplugin</code> function you declared earlier.

As an example, <code>tubefill</code> uses this code to add the "tubefill" command so it can be run in the console:

<pre>DFhackCExport command_result plugin_init ( color_ostream &out, std::vector <PluginCommand> &commands)
{
commands.push_back(PluginCommand("tubefill","Fill in all the adamantine tubes again.",tubefill, false,
"Replenishes mined out adamantine but does not fill hollow adamantine tubes.\n"
"Specify 'hollow' to fill hollow tubes, but beware glitchy HFS spawns.\n"));
return CR_OK;
}</pre>
Details:

* <code>"tubefill"</code> will be the string to which the command line must respond, when entered.
* <code>tubefill</code> is the function that must be called when the command is typed into the command line.
* <code>"Fill in all the adamantine tubes again."</code> and <code>"Replenishes mined out adamantine..."</code> are the "manual" that will be displayed in the help or when the command is called with the wrong parameters (see below how to test that).

<code>tubefill</code>'s <code>plugin_shutdown</code>, however, is empty (it just returns the standardized "OK" return code : <code>CR_OK</code>). That's because the plugin is simple and doesn't need to delete objects, or close connections, or do any kind of post-processing.

Finally, you'll find the actual function definition:

<pre>command_result tubefill(color_ostream &out, std::vector<std::string> & params)
{
...
return CR_OK;
}
</pre>

== Simplest possible plugin: Hello world! ==

Here is how to just have a message displayed in the DFHack console when someone enters your command:

<pre>command_result myplugin (color_ostream &out, std::vector <std::string> & parameters)
{
out.print("Hello Monsieur Ouxx!\n");
}
return CR_OK;</pre>
Please note that you have other outputs available:

<pre>out.printerr("Oh my gosh, this is an error.\n");</pre>
You can now test your plugin : Press F7, then run DF and enter "myplugin" in the DFHack console. You should see the message "Hello Monsieur Ouxx!".

== Parameters checking ==

You might want to test that your command was called with the relevant parameters. Here is an example of how to do it:

<pre>command_result myplugin (color_ostream &out, std::vector <std::string> & parameters)
{
bool param1_ok, param2_ok;
for(size_t i = 0; i < parameters.size();i++)
{
if(parameters[i] == "param1")
param1_ok = true;
else if(parameters[i] == "param2")
param2_ok = true;
else
return CR_WRONG_USAGE;
}
if(!param1_ok && !param2_ok)
return CR_WRONG_USAGE;

return CR_OK;
}</pre>
As explained before, if <code>CR_WRONG_USAGE</code> is returned, then the verbose help text defined in <code>commands.push_back</code> will be displayed.

Another interesting approach to that (as seen in plugin "buildingplan"):

<pre>if (!parameters.empty())
{
if (parameters.size() == 1 && toLower(parameters[0])[0] == 'v')
{
out << "Building Plan" << endl << "Version: " << PLUGIN_VERSION << endl;
}
else if (parameters.size() == 2 && toLower(parameters[0]) == "debug")
{
show_debugging = (toLower(parameters[1]) == "on");
out << "Debugging " << ((show_debugging) ? "enabled" : "disabled") << endl;
}
}</pre>

== Suspend the core! ==

This might be the MOST IMPORTANT section in this document. Never ever forget to suspend the game's core execution before you manipulate anything in its internal data. It is done by adding the following statement:

<pre>CoreSuspender suspend;</pre>

There is no need to actually ''do'' anything with this variable - simply declaring it will cause Dwarf Fortress to be suspended, and once the variable goes out of scope (e.g. when the plugin function returns), the game will be unsuspended.

You will observe that most plugins actually start with that instruction. Fortunately, our "Hello world" plugin doesn't manipulate any internal data, so we didn't need that. But that's about to change.

== Create your own viewscreen ==

Many plugins add menus to DF in order to extend capabilities (or, at least, sort out DF's mess). A good example of that is the plugin <code>buildingplan</code>. It displays a menu with lists of materials, and allows to filter the materials. Lists and filters. That's what DF is all about!

[[File:DFHack_Plugin-_buildingplan_screenshot.png|300px]]

You make them fit into a "viewscreen", that is: an additional screen that will fit into DF. This section is about creating a NEW viewscreen, not replacing one already existing in DF.

Have a look at class <code>ViewscreenChooseMaterial</code> : it extends DFHack-provided class <code>dfhack_viewscreen</code>:

<pre>class ViewscreenChooseMaterial : public dfhack_viewscreen
{
...</pre>
It needs to implement the two following functions:

<pre>void feed(set<df::interface_key> *input)
{
...
}

void render()
{
...
dfhack_viewscreen::render();
...
}</pre>
Notice how <code>render</code> calls the overridden function of its parent class.

You will find more examples in the plugin <code>manipulator</code>. Have a look at class <code>viewscreen_unitlaborsst</code>.

See also: "Replacing an existing view screen"

== Manipulate the display ==

Once your viewscreen is up and running with its very own <code>render</code> function, you may do whatever you please with the display:

<pre>Screen::clear(); //delete the screen
Screen::drawBorder(" Building Material "); //create a new DF-style screen, with a title and a border

masks_column.display(selected_column == 0); //display our column (read this tutorial further)

int32_t y = gps->dimy - 3; //do some calculation on the window size, to position stuff
OutputHotkeyString(2, y, "Toggle", "Enter"); //define some hotkey
x += 3;
OutputHotkeyString(x, y, "Save", "Shift-Enter");</pre>

== List columns ==
In class <code>ViewscreenChooseMaterial</code>'s private members, you'll see this:

<pre>ListColumn<df::dfhack_material_category> masks_column;</pre>

<code>ListColumn</code> is a template provided by DFHack. Just feed it with anything you like.

== Manipulating DF's data ==

Start with observing the class <code>ItemFilter</code>. You'll notice that DF exposes pretty much every possible type of object/item from the game. And what DF doesn't, DFHack does. You'll immediately notice these:

* df::dfhack_material_category
* MaterialInfo
* df::item_quality

Have a look at <code>vector<string> getMaterialFilterAsVector()</code>. It shows you how to get the description from a material, as a string:

<pre>transform_(materials, descriptions, material_to_string_fn);

if (descriptions.size() == 0)
bitfield_to_string(&descriptions, mat_mask);</pre>

== Managing speed ==

Some plugins need to run regular processing, but at a certain rate, in order not to block DF. Here is how <code>buildingplan</code> handles game ticks (important: this is only provided as an out-of-context code snippet, with no further explanations):

<pre>#define DAY_TICKS 1200
DFhackCExport command_result plugin_onupdate(color_ostream &out)
{
static decltype(world->frame_counter) last_frame_count = 0;
if ((world->frame_counter - last_frame_count) >= DAY_TICKS/2)
{
last_frame_count = world->frame_counter;
planner.doCycle();
}

return CR_OK;
}</pre>

== Modifying an existing viewscreen ==
Maybe you don't want to add an additional viewscreen, but instead add features to one that already exists in DF. In that case, creating a child to <code>dfhack_viewscreen</code>` (as seen in section "Create your own view screen") and implementing <code>render</code> and <code>feed</code> is not enough. Instead, you need to create a child of DF's actual viewscreen and '''interpose''' those two functions in it.

That's the case of class <code>buildingplan_hook</code> in plugin <code>buildingplan</code>.

You will notice that, unlike <code>ViewscreenChooseMaterial</code>, it extends class <code>df::viewscreen_dwarfmodest</code> instead of <code>dfhack_viewscreen</code>:

<pre>struct buildingplan_hook : public df::viewscreen_dwarfmodest
{</pre>
The following instructions are then required to glue everything together:

<pre>DEFINE_VMETHOD_INTERPOSE(void, feed, (set<df::interface_key> *input))
{
...
}

DEFINE_VMETHOD_INTERPOSE(void, render, ())
{
...
}</pre>
Once you've defined how the two functions will insert into DF, you can put them to action:

<pre>IMPLEMENT_VMETHOD_INTERPOSE(buildingplan_hook, feed);
IMPLEMENT_VMETHOD_INTERPOSE(buildingplan_hook, render);</pre>

Note that this will completely ''replace'' the original viewscreen logic with whatever you provide - in order to call the original code (e.g. for the usual default behavior), you can do "INTERPOSE_NEXT(function_name)(args);". Depending on how the original viewscreen works, you'll have to make sure you do it in the right place.

See also: "Create your own viewscreen"

== CHANGE LOG ==
* v1.0 Redaction
* v1.1
** moved "return CR_OK;" in one of the code snippets
** corrected a mistake about the need of using "DEFINE_VMETHOD_INTERPOSE"

Also, it is assumed that readers are familiar with the Fortress mode to the point of being able to make at least Steel weapons/armor, as there will be no explanation on this part either.

However, this does not mean, that less experienced players will not benefit from this guide. All the combat mechanics, decisions and picks will be explained most thoroughly without missing any of the steps. As long as one is familiar with hotkeys, he/she is all set for reading this. And don't forget about spoilers!

=Generating the world=

[[File:Stq3w89lf.png|thumb|right|400px|Example of the well-balanced world for an adventure game]]

Use the following settings:

*'''World Size:''' Smaller
*'''History:''' Short
*'''Number of Civilizations:''' High
*'''Max. Number of Sites:''' High
*'''Number of Beasts:''' Medium (Default)
*'''Natural Savagery:''' Medium (Default)

While, technically, every world is suitable for adventure mode, any player looking for a decent game should start in a world, that has at least the following features:

*A tower
*2 or 3 Dark fortresses
*A vault

Optional features:

*A desert
*An island no more than 2 blocks away from mainland
*A maze

You can check whether your world has a certain feature by starting the said world in Legends mode.<br />

*'''"Smaller"''' world size drastically reduces updating times, shortens the distance you will have to travel on foot and makes it more likely to explore more of the world. Don't get confused - even at this degree the generated world is much bigger than you would think, and is more than enough for a lengthy game while still preserving the features from bigger worlds.<br />
*'''"Short"''' history setting will make the world 125 years old. This is done to ensure, that goblin settlements (a.k.a Dark Pits) are not too abundant. It also prevents a lot of takeover wars, so it is less likely to end up with dead civilization(s) or human towns populated by elves (or what's more likely, goblins).<br />
*'''"High"''' number of civilizations provides increased chances of Towers and Dark Fortresses appearing. Same applies to the "High" Number of Sites, only that it also influences the amount of creature lairs and encampments in the wild.

Number of beasts determines how many megabeasts will roam the world. It is affected by the world size (e.g. Smaller), so it is left at default value. Same applies to Natural Savagery and Mineral occurrence.

'''IMPORTANT:''' After creating the desirable world, start a Dwarf Fortress mode game (preferably, at the 2-tiles-away island mentioned above) and play until you create the following masterwork or artifact weapons: Axe(steel/adam), Spear(steel,adam), War Hammer (silver/platinum). Optionally, capture a Forgotten Beast and have the weapons coated with its flesh-eating seizure-inducing paralyzing dust. Optionally, produce a masterwork Nether Cap shield, a couple of masterwork stacks of steel bolts and a suit of adamantine armor. Retire the fort afterwards.

You will return to your fort later on in the adventure mode game to reclaim the weapons for your character's use.

=Character Creation=

The character creation follows the same order as it appears in game: Race/Civ/Status ->Starting Attributes/Skills->Background->Appearance -> Mental attributes.

==Race and Civilization==

Human or Dwarf - there is a little difference besides the armour and clothing size, pick whatever you want. Some may argue, that dwarves have an advantage due to being able to wear better armour, made in player fortress. However, as I have realized (and you will realize too): later on masterwork armour is just as useful as standard quality. More on this will be explained in "Armour" section. As for the dwarven "Battle Trance" - this guide emphasizes on NOT finding yourself alone and surrounded most of the time, so it is negligible. Human will be used for this guide.

== Status ==

*'''Peasant:''' 15 attribute, 35 skill
*'''Hero:''' 35 attribute, 95 skill
*'''Demigod:''' 105 attribute, 161 skill

Peasant, Hero and Demigod look completely different, with demigod seemingly holding the most advantage. However, all three are mortal, and all three are capable of becoming unstoppable. The key difference is in starting stats/skills (with demigod beginning with most, Peasant with least) and stats cap (maximum attainable value).

Simply put, the higher the starting stat (e.g. Strength), the higher it can be increased over the course of the game. Hence, demigods can have the highest stats in the end by simply having more to start with. Yet, even Peasant adventurer is capable of killing a Demon or Dragon in the endgame, so at the end of the day, all the status does '''is determine how easy and how fast your starting game will be.'''

"Hero" is suitable for most players. Pick Demigod for easier early game. For the purposes of this guide, "Peasant" will be used to demonstrate, that these instructions are applicable to every single status.

== Starting Attributes and Skills ==

===Body Attributes===

All these stats distributions will leave no points wasted.

'''Peasant:'''
*High Strength (20)
*High Agility (20)
*Very Low Recuperation (1)
*Very Low Disease Resistance (1)
*Very Low Creativity (1)
*Very Low Musicality (1)
*Very Low Empathy (1)
*Everything else: Average (5)

'''Hero:'''
*High Strength (20)
*Superior Agility (--)
*Very Low Recuperation (1)
*Very Low Disease Resistance (1)
*Very Low Creativity (1)
*Very Low Musicality (1)
*Very Low Empathy (1)
*Everything else: Average (5)

'''Demigod:'''
*High Strength (20)
*Superior Agility (--)
*Superior Memory (--)
*High Intuition (20)
*Very Low Recuperation (1)
*Very Low Disease Resistance (1)
*Very Low Creativity (1)
*Very Low Musicality (1)
*Very Low Empathy (1)
*Everything else: Average (5)

Since your character is combat-based, attributes such as Creativity, Empathy and Musicality are absolutely useless, and must be kept low. As for recuperation and disease resistance, they only kick in when you're hurt, and if there is something that I stress in this guide it is "DON'T get hit". This renders those stats useless. '''Agility and Strength''' are the MOST important as they affect move speed of the character, and that really matters. Memory is convenient addition, as it lets you memorize the areas you've been to and keep those areas free from fog of war. However, leave it at average unless playing as a demigod.

The concept of pain was revised in 43.05, with thresholds significantly buffed for most creatures. Now a high willpower/toughness can, and will prevent your adventurer(and enemy alike) from passing out due to broken toe. Investing starting points in those stats is still a waste, however, as they are leveled relatively quickly, and do not need to be "Superior" or "Superhuman" to be effective. Endurance can be increased easily by sprinting or swimming. And while it matters at first, later on your character will have unlimited stamina, so don't put anything above average here. With average Social Awareness you can recruit two companions, increasing your fighting skills and kill list will let you recruit more later. Seeing as it is very tedious to manage 3 and above companions (you have to give out orders one by one), this attribute is better left at average (more on Social Awareness will be explained in "Companions" section).

Finally, Intuition lets you see more detailed information on which part of your body the enemy is targeting. It is quickly leveled through any means of close combat, and hence, should be kept on average unless you play as demigod.

===Starting skills===
All the distributions below have 1 to 4 leftover points. This is nothing to worry about, as skills can be easily improved and have no cap.

Peasant:
*Adequate Swimmer (7)
*Competent dodger (8)
*Novice reader (6)

Hero:
*Competent Swimmer (8)
*Expert dodger (13)
*Novice reader (6)

Demigod:
*Skilled Swimmer (9)
*Master dodger (17)
*Novice reader (6)

Dodge skill is a must take at character creation, as it is one of the skills that cannot be leveled without putting yourself in a harm's way. Same goes for Swimming. Any weapon skills are trainable in absolute safety, as will be described in section "Improving your skills". Reading, on the other hand, cannot be improved during regular play, and is only available for learning at starting skill selection screen, and must be taken in order to read books, containing the secrets of Life and Death. Novice level reading skill allows you to read anything, there is no point in increasing it further.

===Background and Gender===

It is advised to start as a hearth-person, since your character will begin inside of the human fortress, close to weapons and armor stockpiles. Gender and deity worshiped are insignificant beyond aesthetics and roleplay. Of course, when building a killing machine of a character you'd most likely want him to worship a deity of war (or similar).

===Appearance===

Visual facial features (e.g. long hair, lobed ears, etc.) bear little significance, and are there just for show. The constitution is what really matters - your character might be described as "tall", "having a broad body" or "corpulent/fat/having great sacks of lard" (common when starting as a peasant). Fat does not slow down, and will be burnt away as your character does anything that involves sweating (sprinting or fighting to name a few). Broad body allows wielding of 2-handed weapons in one hand.

However, avoid "tall" or "having a broad body" traits. In my experience, adventurers with these tend to get hit more often than ones with an average build, and two-handed weapons are slow to ever use anyway. Press "r" or "f" to re-roll your character's appearance until it becomes to your liking.

===Values and Personality===

In DF2016, adventure mode now have implemented a complex personality system akin to that of fortress mode. All those perks and traits that you've seen in Fortress mode (e.g. "He is prone to anger") are now present. This means your character will now have desires that need satisfying ''besides'' eating or sleeping. Just as fortress mode units do, adventurers will now want think abstractly, need to socialize, desire to pray to deity, e.t.c, all according to their (fully customizable) values and emotions (represented in green and teal respectively at character creation screen).
[[File:jhbg.png|thumb|right|200px|Values]]
[[File:afgew.png|thumb|right|200px|Emotions]]

Though it is not necessary no satisfy the aforementioned needs, meeting most of them applies the "Focused" status. According to my tests, focused character will hit the target more often and dodge with increased effectiveness, so it is definitely worth the effort.

Moreover, your character will have his own dream listed, based on the values you have specified. It is unknown at the moment what benefit fulfilling the dream will provide. Dreams can be easily changed (rerolled) by simply pressing full customization "f" key, then immediately pressing it again.

Your warlike adventurer naturally values (+++) power, martial prowess, skill, cunning, truth, independence, stoicism, self-control, craftsmanship, competition, perseverance and knowledge. At the same time, he despises (---) nature, romance and peace while being indifferent (N/A) to everything else. He dreams of ruling the world (or becoming a legendary warrior).

On the emotional plane, he never falls in love or lust, hates easily though not prone to anger, never gives in to feeling of sadness or anxiety, impervious to stress, has calm demeanor, strives for perfection, likes fighting, cruel, relentless, private to the point of paranoia and fears nothing.

The above values and emotions will provide your character with the following mindset:

[[File:ytgvjb.png|thumb|center|600px|]]

As seen in the above image, your warmongering adventurer will have strong desire for crafting, training, practicing, learning, and an insatiable thirst for battle, while barely requiring anything else. This is where the advantage of picking the values and emotions according to the instructions above start to show up: fighting anything will simultaneously satisfy four major needs (training,earning,battling,practicing)while crafting can be easily fulfilled by knapping (making sharp rock). More on satisfying the needs and getting the "Focused" status will be explained in the "Needs and Focus" section.

Take into account, that you will not be able to EVER see this description (except list of needs) again during the regular gameplay. It is only available during character creation stage, so it is in your interests to make a screenshot and save it.

===Finalizing the character===

Values and personality screen is the last obstacle, that separates you from starting the game. Press Enter to begin the adventure.

=Early Game=

If you have followed all the instructions so far, you character will begin inside the human fortress. His/her starting items will depend on civilization you've chosen, however, all adventurers start with:

*A large copper dagger
*A copper spear
*A waterskin with 3 units of water
*A backpack
*5 units of random foodstuffs

==Immediate actions==

The moment you spawn in the world, the following must be carried out immediately: ['''R''']emove your starting waterskin and ['''D''']rop it. I cannot stress this enough - it is absolutely, astonishingly useless, being able to fit only 3 units of water when your character needs to drink every 2-3 hours. Next, look around for soldiers of the fortress and recruit one of them as a companion. Afterwards, search around the fortress and pick up the following items:

*Any 2 bags (chuck out anything that might have been inside)
*Full set of armor (Helm, mail shirt, breastplate, gauntlets, greaves, high boots, shield/buckler. These can be of any material for the time being.
*An axe and a warhammer. These can be of any material or 2-handed for the time being. If there are training versions of axe or spear, take those as well.
*A pike and a whip/scourge (optionally, if there are any available)
*5-10 copper or silver bolts

Some fortresses might be under-stocked and lack some items from this list. In this case, fast travel to another fort and search again.
[[File:berrybag.png|thumb|right|200px|Berry bags are common in human villages]]
After you got your gear together, equip the armor and a spear (without shield). Travel to the nearest river and fill (I) one of your empty bags with water. This will result in a container with 100 water units - more than enough for a long journey, even though you will be amazed how fast it will disappear.

To follow up, go in the nearby village and search in the peasants' houses for fisher/prickle berry/strawberry bags. All human civs start with fisher berries, so a village is guaranteed to have some. Usually, these bags contain multiple stacks of 20 to 100 berries. As soon as you've found one, drop your starting [5]stack food and pick the largest stack of berries. [P]ut it inside of your second bag.

Your inventory should look similar to what is shown on the image below:
[[File:Startinginv.png|thumb|center|600px|All set, with a lucky find!]]

Now you are armored and armed, alongside a companion with plenty of food and drink. While still quite far from being combat-worthy, your character is now ready for initial combat training.

==Training==

At this stage, you are going to train your character's offensive and defensive skills. Even though they can be trained in any order, I suggest that you learn how to defend yourself first. However, it is completely up to you, and whatever training "facilities" you might have. When training, ask your companion to wait nearby at a distance he/she will not notice you fighting. This way, you will have a backup handy if something comes your way.

NOTE: Instructions that follow include a lot of tedious button presses. To make your training experience more comfortable, it is advised that you install the amazing key shortcut tool "AutoHotkey", available free of charge. It is a wonderful utility, that will make a lengthy combination into a matter of a single key press, which counts when typing Aa*gzua repeated 30 times, for example. Quickstart guide for AutoHotkey (along with an example script) can be found under "Tools" section. I personally do not consider this cheating in any way - it is a simple timesaver. By sticking to "hardcore style" button mashing you are not raising the challenge - you're introducing a handicap.

===Defensive training===

Defensive skill tree is comprised of Dodging and Shield user. These two are crucial to survival, they protect better than any armor, as both completely nullify ANY incoming damage, while armor does not. Armor user skill simply reduces speed penalty associated with wearing armor and is considered quasi-defensive.

*Any attack except breath/webs/dust attacks can be dodged. On a successful dodge all damage is nullified.
*Any attack except dust/webs/wrestling grabs can be blocked. On a successful block all damage is nullified.

A punch from a bronze colossus that can turn any armored human into paste is rendered completely harmless when blocked or dodged. Considering that around middle stages of the game you will encounter enemies much more fearsome than colossus makes Dodging and Shield User invaluable.

'''Method:'''
*1.Find a small animal
*2.Grab it
*3.Let it attack you
*4.Train until Legendary

'''Explanation:'''

Make sure you have a weapon and a shield drawn. Prepare by placing your weapon in a backpack, then remove the said backpack and drop it somewhere you can remember. This will free you of unnecessary load.
Begin by finding a small animal - cavies make a good choice, so do horseshoe crabs, ducks, peacocks, turkeys, etc. Catch up to the said animal and grab it with your free hand. Now, simply spam the "Wait 10 ticks" button [.] and you will gain dodging/armor user/shield user experience as an animal you're holding attacks you. To gain shield user experience faster, manually block the incoming attacks with the shield.

If the animal you were holding passes out from exhaustion, simply wait, then repeat the above routine. Repeat until Legendary in all three skills.

Be aware, though, that even though your "animal training companion" is small, even a cat or a duck possess enough force to scratch the teeth out or stun with a well placed bite to the head, right through the helmet! Make sure your character is not tired prior to training.

*AUTOHOTKEY: Using '''1::Send, .''' script will let you hold down [1] to continuously wait, instead of spamming the [.] wait button
*AUTOHOTKEY: Using '''2::Send, Aca''' script will make you instantly block an attack with your shield the moment you press [2]. Combined with [.], you can spam these two keys one after another to level Shield User very quickly.

===Offensive training===

Every skill that directly that harms the enemy is a part of Offensive skill tree. This includes: any weapon mastery, Improvised weapons skill (misc. object user), wrestling and throwing.
Majority of your targets will be dispatched with weapon strikes, some with unarmed strikes and wrestling and in certain cases, by having a heavy/sharp object flung at them. Hence, your character must learn to handle 3 weapon types (at least), punching/kicking, wrestling and throwing. Optionally, misc. object user is recommended, as this skill determines the hit rate (and damage) when bashing with the shield.

By this time, you should have the gear as instructed earlier in "Immediate Actions" section. Make no mistake, ensure you have all the necessary equipment!

====Method====

*1.Find a horse
*2.Knock it unconscious
*3.Blind it
*4.Wait for it to regain consciousness
*5.Train until Legendary

'''Explanation:'''
[[File:pastures.png|thumb|right|200px|Fast travel map with pastures highlighted]]'''
*Similar to the defensive training, you will have to find an "animal training companion" first. Any human village has special "Pasture" areas around it. They are distinctively marked as green squares on the fast travel map. Roam around these until you find some with cattle present. Horses make one of the best animals to train your weapon skills on, as they are common around pastures and can take a lot of damage. Sometimes, there will be llamas or cows present - those suffice as well.

*As you have found a pasture spot with animals, memorize its location on the fast travel map. Remove your backpack and drop it there - it will be your training location for quite some time.
Next, take out the axe or a spear you have. Enter the [S]neaking mode and approach a horse. Use [A]ttacking menu and look for an Easy/Solid strike on legs/tail of the horse. You might have to approach it from multiple sides to find one. As soon as you have found an opening, stab the horse in the leg. If your strike connects, the horse will now have reduced movespeed, allowing to easily pursue it and stab another leg to bring horse to the ground.

[[File:geld.png|thumb|right|200px|Sometimes even wooden weapons are dangerous]]
*From now on, you have to disable the horse, so it cannot move or attack (when enraged). Enraged horse will make a quick work of inexperienced adventurer, often biting or wrestling(!) the unfortunate to death by breaking all the bones. Hence, proceed to bashing both of its eyes with the shaft (or flat of the axe), then punch the teeth out. Finally,chop off all hooves. Wait around until horse regains consciousness if it passed out. Use ['''S''']neak mode to confirm, that the it has been blinded - if the usual cone of vision is not shown, it has. Blind animal cannot see you (obviously), and it does run away from what it cannot see. Also, it stops the horse from attacking you when enraged, but ONLY when you are '''not standing on the same tile as the enraged horse'''.

*After all of the above has been done, you will have a blind, immobile but resilient live training dummy to practice weapon skills on. Target its lower body to reduce the chance of lung damage and suffocation. Wooden weapons are perfect, as they do little to no harm. If you have no training weapons, use less lethal attacks, such as '''"Slap flat"''' for axe or '''"Shaft bash"''' for spear.

In the same manner, '''target the hooves to level punching and kicking''' without risk of killing the horse prematurely, as all punches and kicks will glance off. Wrestling is skilled by grabbing/releasing or pinching, and '''unlike other combat skills, your training dummy doesn't have to be conscious!''' So you can as well practice your chokeholds and locks on a knocked-out horse.

*Warhammer training is a bit tricky, as there are no training versions, and the weapon itself has only one attack (bash), which is deadly. A solution is to repeatedly bash the eye or mouth of your training dummy - doing so will provide experience without killing you "training companion", and it works with all other weapons too. Sometimes, your character might accidentally hit the horse's head when targeting the eye due to lack of skill. If the outcome is lethal, simply make another horse into the training dummy and repeat. '''Horses do respawn at pastures''' when you wait, sleep or leave the area in fast travel. This means, if you accidentally happened to kill all the animals, simply leave and return for a new batch.

'''Throwing''' experience doesn't require a training dummy and can be gained by throwing dirt or small stones. It's an essential skill that MUST be at legendary. Find a square that has "Small Rock" available in the [G]et menu, then use AutoHotkey to pick up stones and [T]hrow them instantly:

*AUTOHOTKEY: Use (w/o quotes) "3::Send, g<letter of stone pickup>" to pick the stone up. Your inventory must be completely empty of other throwables and you must not be wearing a backpack.
*AUTOHOTKEY: Use (w/o quotes) "4::Send,t<letter of stone in your inventory>{Up}{Enter}" to throw the stone north.
*AUTOHOTKEY: Use (w/o quotes) "5::Send, Aaba" to repeatedly attack lower body with whatever you have equipped in your right hand

====Crucial concepts====

*'''Recovery Time''' - the amount of time a character is effectively shut down after any combat action (striking, shooting, wrestling, throwing, blocking, dodging). Needless to say, it leaves you completely at the mercy of the opponent, and must be minimized at all costs. Ranged weapons (bows, crossbows) have HUGE recovery time after firing, so avoid like plague. Any and all entities capable of attacking have recovery time associated, indicated by "Recovering from attacking X' when targeted.

*'''Quick wait''' - the [,] key. Waits for one tick, as opposed to normal wait [.], that takes 10 ticks. Allows you to better manage the timings of battle against fast opponents.

*'''Enrage''' - sometimes a combatant might become enraged after getting hit (indicated by flashing red exclamation mark). This is equivalent to the berserking in fort mode, but not permanent. Any enraged creature will have its strength, pain threshold and resolve boosted, which removes any fear/shock status and sends it into relentless melee. You might find, that weaker foes who flee at the first signs of combat can be transformed into killing machines by Enrage, so avoid Enraged enemies if possible until they calm down.

====Attack modes and when to use them====

Quick, Heavy, Wild, Precise, Charge and Multi-attack.[[File:Attack_types.png|thumb|right|200px|Attack modes]]

*'''Quick attack''' - use all the time, as it greatly reduces recovery time. Strength gain of your adventurer will minimize the damage losses to the meaningless minimum in no time.

*Using the '''"multi-attack"''' [z] option in striking menu lets you strike on the move, hitting enemy while simultaneously evading his attack, or even an attack from another combatant. After selecting the attack type, enter the [A]ttack menu again, then Dodge away from the target. This technique is invaluable when fighting a crowd or a dangerous/prone to charge opponent. Always use vs. wrestlers. Press the quick wait [,] button to perform actions instead of regular wait to minimize recovery time. "Flutter like butterfly, sting like a megabeast".

*'''Heavy attack, Wild Attack, Charge attack''' - Never use on their own. This means '''NEVER'''. Both heavy and wild have ridiculous recovery times and dubious benefits, and charging is best performed by moving into your opponent while having your [C]ombat preference set to "Always Charge". However, Heavy attack has a use when combined with the next attack type: the Precise attack.

*'''Precise attack''' - at first glance, it might seem to belong in the above category of "never use". After all, the legendary weapon skill results in one-hit kill most of the times. That is until you come upon huge, extremely well armored, thick-skinned and legendary dodger enemies (and you will). Those adversaries will dodge well above 80% of your attacks, and those that land will either glance off, or cut skin/fat at best. This is where precise attack comes into play, and will win otherwise hopeless battle. It has the same enormous recovery time, so before striking make sure enemy is preoccupied with something else (attacking your companion for example). Then deliver '''Heavy Precise stab''' to the head with your best spear.

====On Charging====

Charge attack, when successful, will result in prone and stunned opponent, failed charge will stun the attacker instead.

Needless to say, charging can, and will be a game changer. Mastering it is crucial. Execute by first changing the [C]ombat preference to "Always charge", then moving into your opponent (do NOT use "charge attack mode from [A]tack menu!). After knocking down the enemy, deliver a quick blow to the vitals or hit the legs to keep it down. Don't forget to change [C]ombat preference back to "Never charge" after a fight.

Size matters! Charging an elephant is as bad of an idea as it is in real life. Charge targets of your own size and, preferably, lower strength. If you were following the guide so far, your adventurer will have no problem trampling every human/dwarf sized enemy in the world.

*Charge liberally vs: bandits, wolves, goblin raiders and elves.
*Charge carefully: enemies of your race marked as being "Tall" or "Muscular" (e.g. "Muscular bandit).
*Never charge: ANY undead, creatures of the night and anything larger than yourself. If it has "giant" in its name, it probably is.

===Weapons===

In brief: your core weapons of choice must invariably be Spear, Axe and Warhammer.

====Weapons you must have====

Any adventurer worth his dwarfbuck MUST master '''Spear, Axe and Warhammer'''. All creatures in the game can be killed by at least one of these weapons.

'''Spear'''

*Best vs: Wild animals, organic megabeasts, organic humanoids
*Worst vs: inorganic enemies

High armor and tissue penetration values, fast speed, widespread availability. Stab attacks are lethal to any organic enemy: be it goblin or a dragon, a pieced brain is a sure death. It is a weapon of choice of the beasthunter and demonslayer alike, a first weapon of choice for fighting huge organic enemies (except blobs). Against humanoids, it is capable of piercing breastplates and chipping bones, which leads to unconsciousness due to pain (that is an instant death sentence). Stabs against armor or enemy made out of superior material (e.g. copper spear vs steel) glance off harmlessly most of the time, so material is crucial to the performance of the spear. It also tends to get stuck in the body of the target quite often.

However, spear is ineffective against targets with little or no vital organs (i.e. blobs, sponges) and is useless against inorganic enemies (i.e. made out of stone, metal, glass), as those have no organs whatsoever. For those situations, use the next weapon on the list, the axe.

'''Axe'''
*Best vs: Wild animals, humanoids, night creatures, undead, inorganic enemies.
*Worst vs: Large animals, Megabeasts or enemies of comparable size.

A truly universal weapon, axe is amazingly effective against most foes, organic or not. The ultimate strength of the "hack" attack comes in ability to incapacitate and kill targets immune to pain or organ damage, lop off limbs and even cleave entire bodies asunder. A swift hack to the feet will bring down kobold and bronze colossus alike, creating an opening for a strike to the head. The best weapons against zombies, axe also has a "slap flat" blunt crushing attack to finish a grounded zombie off without switching to the warhammer. As with the spear, material axe is made out of is crucial to its performance.

Otherwise, effectiveness of the axe diminishes as the target's size increases. Against large animals (such as rhino or elephant) hacking only cuts fat/skin/muscle without doing the lethal damage. Limbs of huge enemies are much thicker, and hence are much harder to chop off, often requiring 10 or more strikes. Against armored or clothed gigantic targets (i.e. demons) axe is worthless. Use the spear should you encounter these.

'''Warhammer'''

*Best vs: Humanoids and armored targets.
*Worst vs: Inorganic large creatures.

Unanimously considered the deadliest weapon against humanoids, warhammer became even more viable choice with introduction of body parts pulping (crushing) (and bleeding from pulping). Your adversary might wear a full artifact adamantine armor set, and it will not save him from having bones broken right through it by the "bash" attack. Warhammer ignores any and all armor foes might wear. Additionally, the pulping damage stacks, so with some patience, it is possible to maul even the megabeasts (organic) to death. Warhammer is also the easiest weapon to make, with copper being one of the best materials for its production due to its density.

Unfortunately, hammer suffers from the same problem as battle axe - reduced combat yields against large targets. Also, attacks will glance off inorganic enemies made out of high-grade materials (e.g. steel colossus).

====Optional weapons====

'''Pike'''

*Best vs: Wild animals, organic megabeasts, humanoids.
*Worst vs: Inorganic enemies

Basically, a buffed spear on steroids. pike has even greater penetration value, meaning it pierces armour and thick tissues like paper. Undoubtedly the best weapon against large animals (elephant, rhino, hippo) and a good pick against organic megabeasts. However, as any 2handed weapon it is slower than spear, meaning your enemy might sneak in an attack before you do, which limits its use for predominantly hunting big game.

The biggest drawback of the pike is its inability to be manufactured by dwarves in fortress mode. This limits your selection to whatever you can find in the world. Though, with enough luck you might be able to come across masterwork iron pike, however, this is as good as it can get - steel (and better) pikes are nonexistent in vanilla game.

If you happen to be born under a particularly lucky star, a moody dwarf can sometimes produce an artifact pike from whatever metals you might have in the fort, including adamantine. But if that is the case, what are you doing here? Get to those lottery tickets numbers pronto!

'''Whip and Scourge'''

*Best vs: Everything
*Worst vs: Nothing

Whip and Scourge are examples of one of the many bugs of Dwarf fortress. Basically, these act as blunt weapons, but have penetration values that of a lightsaber, being able to slice through any armor or thickness of flesh. A copper whip can chip a bone through steel, adamantine, demon skin and dragon scale. Altogether. It is also effective against inorganic enemies, chipping their body material and accumulating the damage that will eventually bring down anything.

In the preamble to this guide I have mentioned not abusing glitches, and this is one of them. Do not use these weapons if you are looking for a reasonable challenge. Though it can be argued, that whips are somewhat less effective against enemies immune to pain.

====ABSOLUTE BEST====

This is a list of the best weapons you can possibly have (without exploiting) to give you something to aspire to. While some are impractically difficult to acquire, it is possible to manufacture them in fortress mode with creative resource management.

*'''AXE:''' Artifact quality adamantine battle axe, coated with paralyzing FB dust.
*'''SPEAR:''' Artifact quality adamantine spear, coated with paralyzing FB dust.
*'''WARHAMMER:''' Artifact quality platinum warhammer, coated with necrosis inducing FB dust. Best blunt weapon you can ever get, period.

'''''Legendary:'''''

*'''PIKE:''' Artifact quality adamantine pike, coated with paralyzing FB dust. Best piercing weapon you can ever get, period.
*'''HALBERD:'''Artifact quality adamantine halberd coated with paralyzing FB dust. Best slashing weapon you ever can get, period.

====Weapons to avoid====

*'''Mace''' - warhammer is better in almost every aspect
*'''Sword''' - Lower penetration value than spear, less limb-hacking potential than axe and astonishingly useless slap attack, more fit to squishing mosquitoes.
*'''Most of 2h weapons''' - these are slower, come in poor quality and rob you of opportunity to use shield (which is huge). Broad body adventurers can equip them in one hand, but unless you have an artifact produced by your fortress, 2-handed weapons' quality and material will be way below their 1-handed counterparts.
*'''Ranged weapons''' - Some weapons are simply least effective, some are plain bad, but none are actually as dangerous to '''their user''' as bow and crossbow get. After taking a shot (which, by the way, cannot be aimed at a particular body part), your character will be stuck in place for about 20-40 [[Time#Breakdown|ticks]], unable to move, fight or in fact, unable to do anything. Maybe it was implemented to simulate reloading, but in any case, it leaves you vulnerable, very vulnerable. To add insult to injury, ammunition is dreadfully heavy, with as much as 10 bolts enough to slow down "high" strength character. And 10 is rarely enough to bring anything substantial down. If you want a ranged attack, throw bolts/arrows instead.

====Unarmed combat====

Kisat Dur: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=148015.0 A lot of the techniques described there are applicable to armed combat as well. Just don't try taking down bronze colossus with it.

====Dual-wielding====

Having a weapon in each hand does not allow you to strike with both at the same time, not even when using multi-attack (attacks are executed consequently, one after another). At most, it will spare you the effort of one key press if one of those weapons will get stuck in target's body. This gimmick comes with a huge cost of not being able to block. As such, dual-wielding is useless.

====Sheathing====

The {{k|q}} key lets you strap your weapon and/or shield to your back. Use it to free your hands for wrestling, climbing or equipping a different weapon/shield. You can have an infinite amount of items sheathed. [r]emove key can be used to retrieve sheathed items.

===F.A.Q===
*Q:Best starting weapon? A: Battleaxe, Spear, Warhammer. Must be legendary in all three.
*Q:Can I dual wield? It sounds cool, but is it practical? A: Dual-wielding is useless compared to weapon+shield combo. Do not dual-wield.
*Q:How do I fight a crowd? A: Step one: bring 2+ companions. Step two: Fight one foe at a time, use charge attacks when applicable. Step three: Target the least armored first. Watch your stamina.
*Q:Can I charge X? What is the rule of thumb for charging? A:Is it bigger than yourself? Yes: Do not charge. No: charge!
*Q:Who do I target first in a fight vs. multiple opponents. A: Single out the least skilled/armed/armored opponent (e.g. Bandit recruit) and focus on him. Besides having one less enemy, chances are, after seeing him die, others will have their morale broken.
*Q:What part of an enemy do I target first in combat? A: Prioritize feet/legs unless you are absolutely sure you can deliver a one-hit kill blow to the head.
*Q:Enemy armour deflects my blows to the head, what do I do? A: Cripple the enemy with a blow to the legs, then target neck. Neck often has lesser protection when compared to the head. Using blunt weapon will improve your chances.
*Q:Best weapon for maiming opponents? A: Battleaxe and spear will do best in 95% of cases, target feet. Use warhammer against heavy armour.
*Q:I have ran out of stamina amidst a fight, and is tired/exert. what to do? A: [J]ump away from combat and let your companions hold while you regain your breath. Jumping does not consume stamina.
*Q:I am attacked by a night creature, how do I fight? A: As with many other humanoids, target the legs (and wings, if it has any). After hitting the ground, night creature cannot charge you, making the battle significantly easier. Note, that many of the night creature are almost as fast on the ground as they are of their feet.
*Q:My companions run at the very sight of an enemy! How do I make them fight? A: As any other creature, companions are affected by Discipline skill. The only way to rise it is to fight more, or train the companions beforehand. Though even high-discipline NPCs might flee before megabeasts or night creatures.
*Q: I have accidentally hit my companion and he/she turned against me! How do I win him/her back? A:If enemies are around, let it go and don't help the rebel until enemies are no more or you have fled. Otherwise, using wrestling, grab their throat. Choke until companion passes out. Take away their weapon and wait for them to wake up. Afterwards, start grabbing limbs in a lock and breaking them. Gouge eyes/cheeks/lips to drive the point further. After a few rounds of wrestling torture, the insubordinate will break, and attempt to run. This is where you [T]alk to the rebel wannabe and ask to cease the hostilities. With a very high chance, he/she will agree and become benign. Speak to the ex-companion again and recruit back. Eyes and limbs will fully heal after rest.
*Q:I ended up on the ground, what do I do? A: Granted you can still walk, change your [S]peed to "Scramble" and then [s]tand up.
*Q: Odds are not in my favour. How do I escape? A: [D]rop the heavy items and flee at top speed - life is dearer than *Iron spear*. Run just enough to lose sight of the enemy, then fast travel away.

===Finalizing the training===

Repeat the training process until legendary in all necessary disciplines: Dodging, Shield user, Armor user, Axe, Spear, Warhammer, Pike, Wrestling, Striking, Kicking, Throwing. Additionally, you will end up with legendary Fighter-Archer skills as well as greatly increased strength, agility, endurance, focus and willpower.

At this point, you have the gear, body and skills to shift the battle scales heavily in your favor. Now, it is time to venture onward and leave a mark in the world!

=Mid Game=

Majority of your character's life, adventures and heroic deeds will be here, in the mid game.

=== Combat Preferences ===

At any time during gameplay (Except fast travel mode), you can press {{k|C}} to open the Combat Preferences menu. There are three different preferences you can set: Attack, Dodge and Charge Defense. These have a few different preferences each:

*'''{{k|a}}ttack'''
**'''According to Opponent''' - The default setting. When set to this, charging happens more or less frequently, depending on the difference in size between you and the opponent. Bigger opponents get charged less, smaller more often. Can be very risky, since a random charge against a huge opponent is likely to get you knocked down and stunned. In the same vein, charging when close to obstacles or other environmental hazards is very dangerous, potentially fatal, if the enemy dodges you.
**'''Strike''' - This setting ensures that you never charge an opponent, but rather just swing your weapon at them. This carries less risk than the above, but you're never going to knock anyone down without hitting their legs or spine. Very preferable against large opponents.
**'''Charge''' - When set to this, you ALWAYS charge. When faced with numerous small enemies (Bogeymen in particular), this can be extremely useful, but remember to switch back when facing something bigger. Charging a large dragon is almost a certain death sentence.
**'''Close Combat''' - With this setting, all your auto-attacks are grapples. Generally not very useful, since the random nature of it tends to prevent you from actually doing any damage with it, but if you continually auto-attack a harmless creature with it your wrestling-skill will be legendary in no time.

*'''{{k|d}}odge'''
**'''Move Around''' - This means you can jump away from attacks, physically moving in a random direction. While this lets you dodge attacks more often, it can also result in you jumping into a wall or down a lake. If you're fighting in really tight spaces, or areas with large pits, you might want to switch to the other option.
**'''Stand Ground''' - As can be expected, you stand your ground. No jumping around, which is useful in the above situation, but risky in the open. If you have room for jumping around, go with Move Around, but otherwise this could be a good idea.

*'''{{k|c}}harge Defense'''
**'''According to Opponent''' - Again, the default setting. You're more likely to stand still against small enemies charging, but will probably prefer moving away from larger ones. Somewhat risky, in that even a somewhat small enemy can stun you by charging.
**'''Dodge Away''' - With this, you'll dodge away from charging enemies, if you can. It's not a sure bet, but it's very much worth it against enemies who like to charge. This is probably the most preferable mode, since you're not losing a whole lot by dodging a small foe charging, but dodging an angry night beast can save you from a world of pain.
**'''Stand Ground''' - If you're certain of your physical superiority to the opponent, you can safely choose this. Standing your ground like a real man/woman might feel hardcore, but getting knocked down in a fight can be extremely dangerous. It probably has some use against bogeymen though, since they're quite small. If you really are much bigger than the enemy, you'll end up knocking THEM down. Most of the time though, charges heavily favor the attacker, so dodging away is probably preferable.

Using Combat Preferences properly can actually save your hide, so it's worth fiddling with. Just don't forget that you've fiddled with them, since a misplaced charge or dodge could end up killing you.

== Talking ==
[[File:Advmode_conversation_DF2014.png|thumb|400px|Talking to someone in Adventurer mode.]]
{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
|-
| {{k|k}}
| Talk to somebody
|}

Now that you know how to kill people, you may also want to know how to talk to and otherwise interact with them in a less violent manner. While this is less entertaining, it can sometimes be useful.

To begin a conversation, press {{k|k}}. Unless someone else has already started a conversation with you (see below if someone has), you will get a cyan X that can be positioned over people you want to talk to with the normal directional keys. Use {{k|-}} and {{k|+}} to select who you want to talk to. Aside from individuals, you can also {{DFtext|Shout out to everybody}}, which will have you talking with everyone in earshot, or you can talk to your deity.

Whenever you want to advance the conversation, you have to press {{k|k}} again and choose the ongoing conversation you wish to continue. You will also see ongoing conversations from people who have started a conversation with you. If you want to talk to someone else during this time, simply {{DFtext|Start a new conversation}}.

* {{DFtext|Greet listener}} — Has you offering a greeting to someone, when you're initiating the conversation.
* {{DFtext|Bypass greeting (new menu)}} — Skips the greeting, taking you straight to the normal conversation menus.
* {{DFtext|Reply to greeting}} — If you aren't the one who started the conversation, this option will let you reply to someone's greeting. They will then talk about some trouble.
* {{DFtext|Refuse conversation}} — Causes you to explicitly refuse to talk to someone who started a conversation with you. Unknown if this has a different effect from simply not doing anything.{{Verify}}
* {{DFtext|Reply to greeting (impersonation)}} — Like {{DFtext|Reply to greeting}}, except you're impersonating a deity.
* {{DFtext|Nevermind}} — This has you back out of having a conversation.

When you start talking to someone, you are presented with a wide array of things to talk about. (If the person you are talking to started the conversation and told you about some trouble, you'll first get a menu related to that trouble. Just press {{k|-}}-{{k|Enter}} to {{DFtext|Change the subject (new menu)}} and get to this first menu.) Your choices are as follows:

{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
| style="text-align:right;width:30%;" | {{DFtext|Return to current topic (new menu)}}
| You'll see this option only if you chose to change the subject in another menu. This will, predictably, take you back to that subject.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Bring up specific incident or rumor (new menu)}}
| Allows you to spread rumors or summarize conflicts you've been a part of. The next step of the conversation will bring up a menu of choices that allow you to ask for directions to places or state your opinion on the incident/rumor.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask to become a hearthperson}}
| Only appears when talking to a leader who you aren't under the command of. Allows to become one the leader's guards.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Invite listener to become a hearthperson}}
| Only appears when you are a leader. Allows to become one the leader's guards.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Request duty or advice pertaining to service as a hearthperson}}
| Only appears when talking to a leader who are under the command of. You will receive some task to accomplish for the group, if there is anything that needs doing.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Bring up the journey together}}
| Only appears when talking to a companion. The next step of the conversation will allow you to cancel the agreement you made with that person, if you so choose.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Inquire about any troubles}}
| Asks the listener what things in the world are bothering them and their people.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask for directions (new menu)}}
| Allows you to ask for the location of a specific creature or site. People aren't guaranteed to know, and may instead direct you to someone who does.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask about the local ruler}}
| As you might imagine, this gets you some information on who controls this particular area.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Trade}}
| Allows you to trade with a merchant. Note that you have to be right next to them for this to work.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Exchange, give, or take personal items}}
| Like {{DFtext|Trade}}, only that it works with non-merchants.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask favor, place request, make demand or issue order (new menu)}}
| Takes to a menu of various request you can make, including asking the listener to yield, stay put, or pay homage to your group. The options available depends on who you're talking to.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask listener to join you (new menu)}}
| This is how you get companions. You can either ask them to join you on an adventure, or to lead you to some location.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Claim this site for yourself (group naming menu)}}
| This option allows you to stake a claim on the site you are in.
|-

|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask about the structure you are in}}
| Tells you about whatever structure you are standing in, if you are standing in one.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask about this site's neighbors and trade partners}}

|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Ask about the surrounding area}}
| Choosing this will tell you about some location nearby, and why it's significant.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Comment on weather}}
| Small talk about the weather. Really.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Comment on natural surroundings}}
| Same as the weather, only about the nature around you.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Accuse listener of being a night creature}}

|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Inquire about listener's profession}}
| Learn what it is the listener does. Useful for lords and ladies and anyone else whose profession isn't listed next to them.
|-

| Discover what family the listener has, as expected.
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Brag about your past violent acts}}
| Causes you to brag about whatever last violent act you did. Doesn't seem to have an effect, or at least severely less impactful than summarizing the conflict.{{Verify}}
|-
| style="text-align:right;" | {{DFtext|Say goodbye}}
| Ends the conversation.
|}

Note that you can press {{k|Esc}} to not choose anything. The conversation is still ongoing, you have to explicitly say goodbye to end it. Pressing {{k|Esc}} is useful if you need to double-check something before talking.

== Companions ==

{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
|-
| {{k|c}}
| View companion interface
|}

Companions are the guys who follow you around after you've asked them to join you and they've accepted. Your character will have a limit on the maximum number of companions that is based on fame/reputation level and the ''Social Awareness'' attribute. With average social awareness and the maximum level of fame, the limit is 19 companions.

You can use the {{k|c}} key to open up a list showing your companions and their relative position to you. This can be useful if one of them runs off somewhere and you want to find them. You can select specific companions who are in visual range in order to view them. This is the same as viewing them with {{k|l}}ook.

You can give or take equipment with a companion by choosing to talk to them and selecting {{DFtext|Exchange, give or take personal items}}. An evil and arguably inefficient way to get equipment is to intentionally get your companions killed and then take their stuff. If you are trying to help your companions, it is important to note that they prefer to store exchanged items in a personal container rather than to equip said items. You must convince your companions to trade away any containers (pouches, quivers, backpacks, etc.) as well as the equipment that you are attempting to replace. Once you have given your companions almost no choice in the matter, they will equip the new items and a message like {{DFtext|The Swordsman reorganizes his possessions.|6:1}} will be displayed.

If they survive long enough/are trained well enough then companions are capable of leveling stats and skills. Thus they are susceptible to gaining a title or having a job title change as well.

Your companions will continue to follow you and fight hostile creatures around you until they die (if you asked them to join you on an adventure) or get you to the proper location (if you asked them to guide you some place). If you want to get rid of your companions at any time, the safe way is to talk to each one of them, ask them about their journey with you, and then cancel the agreement.

If your companions are too far away from you when you enter fast travel, they will become an asterisk on the map where you started fast travel from. This asterisk may try to join up with you during travel. If you keep losing your companions while traveling through rivers, try going to a spot where the river becomes a "minor river" (shown by a single dark blue line). Brooks are obviously also safe to cross.

== Personal Finance ==

=== Trading (barter) ===

In human towns (not hamlets or castles), you can find shops,in Elven Trading trees you can find markets and at depots in dwarven fortresses you can encounter brokers. Once you're inside of a [[shop]] and right next to any of the NPCs, you can use {{K|k}} to {{DFtext|Trade}} with them. Use {{K|Enter}} to select which items to trade, left/right arrow keys to switch between the list of shop items and your items, and up/down arrow keys to scroll through the lists. You can also either {{k|a}}sk for or {{k|o}}ffer currency as part of the process. Once done, press {{K|t}} to trade. The shopkeeper won't get angry if you're not offering enough in trade, so you can start offering just a few items, keep trying again with a little more until the trade is accepted. Once the trade is accepted all of the items you offered will be on the floor underneath you.

After trading, you will find the stuff you gave on the floor at your feet, and the stuff you got in your inventory.

=== Theft ===

You may also pick up the item before buying it, but you should never walk out of a shop carrying an unbought item, as that is theft. It is punishable by death if you are caught, and excommunication if you are not. On any occasion when you have stolen goods from a store (indicated by dollar signs on either side of the item in your inventory), the game requires you to exit the site ''and'' move a considerable distance before allowing you to quick travel. This may make a getaway more difficult if your adventurer is not already faster than anyone else. This only applies to goods in stores; killing townsfolk and taking their personal things, including those of the shopkeep still only requires exiting the site. The moment you are out of sight, you will be able to warp out as usual. Theft and murder remain within entities; even depopulating one country and stealing all its things will not generate ill response in another country.

In some cases, the shop will be abandoned. This will be made clear by the presence of unbought items and the lack of any merchants in the area. You will not be considered a thief by the relevant entity for taking stuff from an abandoned shop.

If the item name is not surrounded by dollar signs, it is never considered stealing, even in situations where it would be in real life.

=== Managing coins ===

You will find that coins from one civilization are nearly worthless in other civilizations. This will typically result in adventurers carrying around lots of now useless coins. Coins can and will encumber your adventurer, eventually reducing your speed. To reduce that effect you can try to exchange your copper and silver coins for gold ones as well as sell all of your loot directly for gold coins. Remember, merchants will always try to pay you in higher denomination currency first but will resort to lower value coins if they run out of anything higher. First, check the merchant's chest to see how much of each type of coins they have.

Coin values are as follows:
* Copper Coin = 1☼
* Silver Coin = 5☼
* Gold Coin = 15☼

To receive the maximum amount of gold coins from that merchant, make sure the amount "they owe you" during the trade is equal to (total amount of gold coins the shop has)*15☼ . If you are selling loot, simply make sure you only trade this worth of goods, and move on to other merchants for the rest. If you wish to exchange copper and silver coins for gold, buy random goods from the merchant until their price is around this value and then sell back all of the goods for their original value but in gold.

Alternatively, you can take your excess coinage and use it to purchase [[Gem|large gems]] at a trinket shop. Large gems make good investments because they are 1) light, 2) variably priced, and 3) equally valuable between different civilizations.

A few goods are strictly superior to all forms of coinage as a store of value, most notably giant cave spider silk items. A suitably sneaky (or powerful) adventurer can murder a few dwarves or goblins for such items for trade and sale for human goods. Giant cave spider silk is a non-renewable resource in a given world - please harvest responsibly.

=== Where to get items to sell ===

The best place to get items to sell is at bandit camps, after you've slaughtered all the bandits. You can loot the clothes and equipment off of the corpses of the bandits (and off your fallen companions, too), plus at the very center of camp there'll be a few scattered weapons and a few bags/chests containing various goods.

The next best way to get items to sell is to kill a creature, butcher their corpse (see below for how), and pick up the edible bits. Butchered bits from the corpses of people (dwarves, elves, humans, etc.) can sometimes be found in monster lairs and these seem to be just as desired by shopkeepers as the products you gain from your own butchering.

Another good early source of income can be bags left in houses and shops, which usually contain plants and food. No one will complain, and the plants inside can be sold at about 2☼ each plus the value of the bag.

At the bottom of the list comes {{k|L}}ooking carefully and selling any small creatures you might find. However, shops will not accept live creatures unless they are in cages. Some rocks, piles of sand, and other things found on the ground nearly everywhere can also be sold for 1☼ each.

You can also try filling your backpack from river - it can hold up to 100 units of water which is worth 100☼ total. After your sell it, water will drop to the floor as a pool, and backpack can be refilled instantly and for free from there. In fact, you can infinitely fill any container from any pool/pile of any liquid/powder, so if you happen to find some precious substance like [[sunshine]] or [[dwarven sugar]], money won't be a problem for you anymore. This is of course an [[exploit]], liable to be fixed at any time. It may be useful in a pinch, but don't rely on it.

Another devious method is to go outside the shop, {{k|g}}rab handfuls of mud and throw it into your backpack, then sell them for 1☼ each. The merchants will gladly buy your rare and valuable mud despite the unlimited free mud just outside their shop.

== Quest Log ==

The quest log contains everything you know about the world, such as various events going on, people you know, and various sites. The {{k|m}} key will alternate between a world map that you can navigate, and information on whatever item is highlighted in the list to the right.

There are various kinds of lists you can check on the quest log:

* '''Events''' — A list of events that are happening or have happened. Formatting of the list is {{DFtext|(type)/(description)}}. You can center on the location of the event if you know this. This list is the closest you'll get to some formal quest system.
* '''People''' — A list of people you know. At the start of the game, this list will contain people in your site.
* '''Sites''' — A list of various sites around the world.
* '''Groups''' — A list of groups you know of and your relation to them. Note that you have to press {{k|e}} when you're on the events list in order to reach this list, requiring you to press {{k|e}} at most twice.
* '''Regions''' — A list of regions. The additional information will list the biomes a region possesses.
* '''Bestiary''' — A list of creatures, their characteristics, and where you could find them.

==Crafting==
{| class="wikitable" style="border:1px solid #ccc;"
|-
| {{k|x}}
| Perform action (butcher, create item...)
|}

Adventurers can perform limited crafting, (also known as "reactions"). To access the crafting menu, press {{k|x}}.

* '''[[Knapper|Knapping]]''' allows an adventurer to sharpen a rock. Knapping only works on stones on the ground or in your hands. Choose the {{k|c}}reate option and then select "Make sharp stone". You will be prompted to choose a rock to sharpen ("tool stone"), and then the rock that is to be the hammerstone. The tool stone will be replaced in your hand by a sharp version.

* '''Butchering''' acts similarly to Fortress Mode's [[Butchery]] by converting a corpse into edible products, bones, and skin. A corpse must be on the ground or in your hand. With a sharp object (such as a dagger or knapped stone or even a bolt/arrow) in your hand or on the same tile of the corpse, select the {{k|b}}utcher option, and then you can select the corpse and the sharp tool to butcher with. The corpse will be replaced by its butchering returns.

* '''Spitting''' gives you spit, which can be aimed at someone in much the same way as any projectile. To get this, choose natural ability and then spit in the reactions menu.

You may also gain acquired abilities when you become a creature of the night, such as a necromancer.

= Sites =

More information on each type of site can be found in the site's specific article.

== Civilization ==

[[Civilization]]s are organized groups of creatures (generally of the same race) which build sites such as towns.

=== Human Sites ===

==== Towns {{Raw Tile|+|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|*|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|#|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|☼|7:0:0}} ====
Humans live in towns comprised of buildings and often a paved road. Human towns are highly modular, and are usually near some source of water, either the coast or a river.

Towns appear on the fast travel map (when outside a site) as {{Tile|■|7:0:1}} or {{Tile|■|6:0:1}} symbols which are small collections of buildings. When you are near a human site, large yellow blocks indicate where various houses and shops are found (though not all houses and shops can be found in these blocks; sometimes you'll find a house or two out in a site's fields). You usually have to follow the roads in a yellow block on the fast travel map.

Towns usually have lots of interesting structures which are described fully in the [[town]] article.

==== Hamlets {{Raw Tile|æ|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|Æ|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|{{=}}|7:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|≡|7:0:0}} ====
Most of the time, the majority of a human civilization's population will live in small [[hamlet]]s, which tend to be sprawled out along coastlines and through river valleys. Like other sites, they can be invaded, and you'll sometimes find them captured by other civilizations, [[necromancer]]s, or criminal syndicates. Human adventurers usually spawn in hamlets.

Note that hamlets are similar in structure to towns, only they have mead halls instead of keeps, and don't have any defensive walls.

=== Dwarven Sites ===

==== Dwarf Fortresses {{Raw Tile|Ω|7:0:1}} ====
These are the randomly generated equivalent of the sites you build in [[dwarf fortress mode]]. [[Fortress]]es are described in detail in the own article. Their main function for adventurers is that they have a central, spiraling ramp that connects the underground and above-ground worlds, particularly in that they connect the subterranean tunnel networks to the rest of the dwarf civilization. They are located at the edges of mountain ranges.

Player-made fortresses are considered dwarf fortresses by the game, in addition to the randomly-generated ones.

==== Mountain Halls {{Raw Tile|Ω|0:0:1}} ====
[[Mountain halls]] are the sites of the "deep dwarves," located far beneath the mountains. They can be accessed via down-stairs found in underground tunnels, and are comprised of a couple of levels that contain bedrooms and large halls filled with smelters or forges.

==== Hillocks {{Raw Tile|Ω|7:0:0}} ====
[[Hillock]]s are the dwarf equivalent to human hamlets. They consist of a few circular mounds filled with dwarf citizens. There doesn't seem to be any settlement pattern for them; they are equally likely to be found in any land [[biome]].

=== Elven Sites ===

==== Forest Retreats {{Raw Tile|î|6:0:1}} {{Raw Tile|¶|6:0:1}} ====
Elves live in [[forest retreat]]s located, unsurprisingly, in [[forest]] biomes. They are essentially clusters of huge [[tree]]s with elves standing in and around them.

=== Goblin Sites ===

==== Dark Fortresses {{Raw Tile|π|0:0:1}} {{Raw Tile|π|5:0:0}} {{Raw Tile|π|5:0:1}} ====
These are the main goblin sites. Some [[dark fortress]]es may contain a [[Underworld spire|certain spoiler]].

==== Dark Pits {{Raw Tile|º|5:0:0}}====
These are the goblin equivalent of hamlets and hillocks. [[Dark Pit]]s are essentially canyons lined with wooden guard towers. They tend to be built in huge clusters around the dark fortresses, such that large chunks of the map may be covered with them.

=== Kobold Sites ===
==== Caves {{Raw Tile|•|#808080|#00DD00}}====
[[Cave]]s are sometimes home to [[kobold]] groups. They are mounds filled with narrow tunnels leading to the [[caverns]] and usually contain piles of random loot resulting from kobold [[Thief|thieving]] incursions.

=== Night Creature Sites ===

==== Necromancer's Towers {{Raw Tile|I|5:0:0}} ====
[[Necromancer]]'s Towers are built by necromancers who have at least 50 followers; younger necromancers may take over towns or camps instead. Usually you can find [[book]]s written by the necromancer, some of which contain [[Necromancer#Adventurer_Mode|the secret to life and death]]. Towers require abundant human populations (low savagery, large tracts of neutral land) and a high number of secrets to be generated in world generation, as necromancers cannot be elf or goblin.

==== Lairs ====
Lairs are the homes of [[night troll]]s. Lairs are mounds or holes in the ground with doors or hatch covers. Most night troll lairs are inhabited by a single creature, but sometimes you'll encounter entire families of five or even ten.

=== Megabeast Sites ===
==== Minotaur's Labyrinths {{Raw Tile|#|0:7:1}}====
A Labyrinth is an intricate network of tunnels often filled with the bodies of previous adventurers slain in [[World generation|worldgen]] by its resident [[minotaur]]. As you explore the labyrinth, you will hear the minotaur taunting you.

==== Shrine {{Raw Tile|Å|7:0:0}} ====
Shrines are huge stone structures surrounded by pillars that are the homes of [[Bronze colossus|bronze colossi]] and [[titan]]s. Several of them can be found on a single site, making its exploration particularly hazardous. [[Demon|Demons]] have also been reported to inhabit them.

= FAQ =

== How do I find an entrance to the underworld? ==
Method 1: Most [[Cave|caves]] lead directly into the first [[cavern]] layer. Although it may be possible to learn of some trouble which originates from a cave{{verify}}, your best bet is to ask people about the surroundings, and hope that they mention a cave at some point. If they don't, travel to another site a fair bit away from where you are and ask someone else.

Method 2: Dwarf [[Fortress|fortresses]] are connected to the [[tunnel]] system, which usually connects to the caverns.

Method 3: You can start a [[dwarf fortress mode]] game, dig to the first cavern layer, retire or abandon the fortress, and then return with your adventurer.

The three cavern layers are connected to each other in [[Deep pit|various]] [[Passage|places]], although they are rather spread out and extremely difficult to find with an adventurer.

Additionally, [[Underworld spire|a certain spoiler]] can be found which leads to [[Hell|another spoiler]], deep underground.

== I keep getting maimed! How can I fight without getting seriously hurt? ==
The best defense is a good offense. If you let your enemies attack you, you're (unsurprisingly) likely to get hurt eventually.
* Try to '''avoid fighting difficult enemies until you get some armor'''. Don't fight enemies at all unless you're sure you can beat them. If you're unsure, you're probably going to get hurt.
* If you have good speed, try to '''fight enemies one-by-one''' — keep moving backwards and only attack when you're within range of just one enemy.
* If you have a slashing weapon, try to '''chop body parts off of your enemy''' — it makes them stop fighting for a turn, allowing you to keep attacking them without being attacked in exchange. Chopping off limbs will also weaken your enemies - taking their arms can prevent them from using weapons, taking their legs can make them slow and knock them down. Chopping off their heads will instantly kill them, but it may take a few (or, with larger enemies such as [[troll]]s, it may take more than fifteen) slashes before the head is severed.
* Remember that '''it's better to let your enemy come to you, than to go to your enemy'''. You have to either move or attack. If you move, you can't attack, so if you move within range to attack your enemy, you allow them to have the first strike (unless you're much faster than them). On the other hand, if you let them move within range of you, then you get to have the first strike. If your enemy is one space away from you, use that as an opportunity to throw a knife or a rock at them; worst case, they will get a bruise or a cut; best case, they will start the melee severely crippled. If you're fast enough, then you can simply step back after getting in that first hit, and they'll have to spend their turn approaching you again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
* Follow the advice under [[#Combat Preferences|Combat Preferences]].

== How can I obtain armor as quickly as possible? ==
* The best way would be to rummage through mead halls, keeps, and fortresses, or whatever other strongholds your race makes use of. Not all places will be stocked with equipment, but usually they have something.
** There are also underground locations, such as the dungeons underneath keeps, or the catacombs under temples, that contain plenty of equipment. These underground places are liable to be populated with unfriendly creatures, so beware.
* You can also take along companions and have them killed, or just plainly murder people and loot their corpses for stuff.
* You can earn some money by exchanging some loot with the local populace for coins, and then buy equipment off of soldiers you might meet in towns. Remember that coins only have nominal value in the civilization they've been minted, but gems are equally valuable anywhere.

== How do I increase my skills and attributes? ==

Here are some techniques for raising your skills; very rapidly in some cases.

Most of these skill-raising techniques involve repeatedly entering the same keystrokes. To assist with this you can use a [[DF2014:Macro|macro]] to make entering the same sequence of keystrokes over and over again much easier.

Increasing skills increases associated attributes which may in turn benefit other skills. For example, sharpening rocks using {{k|x}} will increase Knapping which will increase a number of attributes that help with combat skills. See [[Attribute#Skills_by_Associated_Attributes|Skills and Associated Attributes]] for a mostly complete list.

*'''Fighting and Wrestling''' — A good way to raise your Fighting and Wrestling skills and related attributes is to go find a small, relatively harmless animal and wrestle with it repeatedly. You can wrestle hitting {{k|b}} for the wrestling option after selecting the creature to fight. Continually grabbing and releasing a creature is sufficient to raise your skill, and you can do it indefinitely with the same animal as it won't be injured (unless you auto-wrestle it). Wrestling will increase Kinesthetic Sense, Spatial Sense, and to a lesser extent, Endurance. You may also somewhat increase Dodging and Shield User this way as the creature takes swipes at you.<p>It's possible to change your {{k|C}}ombat preferences for attacking and dodging to ''Close Combat'' and ''Stand Ground'', respectively, allowing you to simply walk into the helpless critter to wrestle it. (Standing your ground prevents you from moving to dodge attacks, so your wrestling can continue almost uninterrupted.) You will, however, perform occasional throws and take-downs as long as the creature remains standing, which may result in their eventual bleeding to death. Strangulation is also a repeated concern, as it will render the victim unconscious, thus making you have to wait until it regains consciousness before you can continue auto-wrestling it (though you may still raise your Wrestler and Fighter skills by 10 points for every time you ''release'' a limb - though this must be done manually and must be repeatedly confirmed, once the creature is rendered unconscious). Another concern with auto-wrestling some animals is that you will perform joint locks, and break hips, knees, and ankles in the process, which can cause the creature to bleed to death. If you can wrangle a creature incapable of blood-loss and strangulation in a high-FPS area (such as a crab on a frozen beach), you can easily raise all associated skills and attributes to Legendary and Superhuman in the course of a few minutes.</p>
*'''Shield User, Armor User, and Dodging''' - In addition to wrestling the creature, you can also sit back and let it attack you to raise your defensive skills. If you have metal armor, then a small animal like a gopher can't do any real damage to you when it hits. Also, to place emphasis more heavily on shield blocking, you can change your attack {{K|C}}ombat preference to ''Stand Ground''. The wrestling-a-crab-on-a-frozen-beach method also works fantastically for this.
*'''Weapon Skills and Fighting''' — Once your defensive skills are getting up there and your agility is high enough, you might want to try fighting [[bogeyman|bogeymen]] to increase your weapon skill. Just make sure to fight them one at a time while running away. If you don't know what a bogeyman is yet then you are probably not ready to try this. Also, doing difficult targeted shots will gain more experience and keep the training dummy alive longer.
*'''Throwing and Archery''' — Throwing rocks with {{k|t}} will raise your Throwing and Archery skills. Throwing objects at creatures, while not terribly effective, can still be a quite handy skill. Although throwing is a way to raise Archery without wasting ammunition, there is a non-wasteful method that additionally increases bow/crossbow skills.<p>The most efficient way to level via throwing is to forgo using a macro and separate training into two phases: {{k|g}}etting and {{k|t}}hrowing. First, find a tile with an indefinite amount of throwable objects (e.g., snow, rocks, mud, etc.). Then, sequentially mash {{k|g}} and whatever key the rocks are assigned to until both your forearms explode. Rest. Then, sequentially mash {{k|t}}, followed by some consistent key assigned to your rocks, then {{k|Enter}}, until you've emptied your inventory. Rest. Rinse and repeat. (You may wish to empty your inventory beforehand such that the rocks are assigned to a key close to {{k|t}}, allowing you to keep one hand on {{k|Enter}} and another on {{k|t}}.)</p>
*'''Marksman, Bowman, and Archery''' — Raising the bow and crossbow weapon-specific skills is best done by shooting at a wall or cliff with no floor directly beneath it. If bolts or arrows hit a wall that has floor/ground on the same z-level, then the ammunition will be destroyed. ''However'', ammunition that falls at least one z-level after hitting a wall will remain intact. So, simply find something like a hill inside a castle, stand on it, then shoot at a wall which is on the same z-level you are. The arrows will hit the wall and fall one z-level to the ground, remaining intact. You can then {{k|g}}et the arrows and {{k|f}}ire them at the wall again from the hill, ad infinitum. You can also stand next to a wall that's two or more z-levels high, aiming at the wall one z-level up by hitting {{k|<}} after hitting {{k|f}}. Whatever method you employ, the key is that the arrow needs to fall at least one z-level after hitting a wall to remain intact. Using a macro will speed this up greatly.<p>An alternative and much easier way to train any ranged attack is to simply shoot one or more z-levels straight above into the air, by using {{k|f}} than {{k|<}} , any ammunition used seems incapable of causing harm to the one launching it and lands undamaged under their feet for easy retrieval, however this may be considered a bug and/or exploit.</p>
*'''Ambushing and Swimming''' — An efficient way to raise Ambushing is to sneak over large stretches of land. Sneaking on the fast travel screen may work as well.{{Verify}} Ideally, this would be done in a biome containing sparse vegetation and few threatening creatures to blunder into and reduce FPS (e.g., a frozen beach).<p>Although less efficient for raising only Ambushing, it's also possible to sneak and swim at the same time, thus combining their training. '''Just make sure you start with at least Novice in swimming''', or you'll find swimming practically impossible to train. Swimming can very quickly improve your Strength, Agility, and Endurance. Additionally, if you can safely drown and then recover (e.g., by moving under a bridge and then back before suffocating), this will raise both Toughness and Endurance at a ''ridiculous'' pace— a single step spent drowning will raise both attributes by a fifth of a point apiece.</p>
*'''Observer''' — You can't really power-level this skill as it is slow and difficult to train, which is why you're advised to sink some points into it during character creation. However, one way to train it appears to be sleeping or walking around in the wilderness, allowing yourself to be repeatedly ambushed. This is, however, inherently dangerous. Running away from these encounters would probably be faster than slaying your assailants, if not generally safer for your character (but not for your companions, hoh boy).<p>Successfully detecting traps found in tombs and catacombs (performed automatically) will also raise Observer. However, without decent skill to begin with, you'll be torn to pieces by the many traps you'll fail to see. Otherwise, once you've found one or more traps, it's possible to grind experience by sleeping/waiting an hour, thus resetting the traps. Rinse and repeat.</p><p>As of version 40_23 one seem to acquire Observer skill from regular combat.</p>
*'''Spatial and Kinesthetic Sense''' - While sharpening rocks with {{k|x}} will improve your Knapping skill, it more importantly increases your Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense attributes, which affect a number of other skills. Knapping can be combined with throwing via a macro to keep your inventory from filling up.
*'''Other Stats''' - Other useful stats like Strength, Agility, and Toughness will increase significantly as the fighting and defense skills increase, so you don't need to do anything other than what you'd normally be doing to increase these.

== I managed to escape but my limbs are chopped off. Now what? ==

'Tis but a scratch!

Unfortunately, there is only one way to get them back, and that is by being bitten by a [[werebeast]] and surviving until the next full moon. But as long as you have at least one leg and one arm left you can actually do pretty well. First, get a crutch from somewhere, such as a general store, and make sure it's in one of your hands. Once you do that you should be able to {{k|s}}tand back up again. (However, if spinal nervous tissue damage is what has disabled your ability to stand, crutches ''will not'' help you in that regard.) You will notice that your speed is now much slower than before.

Now go find someplace reasonably safe and walk back and forth until your Crutch Walking skill gets up to Legendary or above. You will notice your speed increasing as your skill levels up until your speed is completely back to normal. As a bonus you'll probably see some stat increases as well. You can continue to dodge with a crutch just as well as before.

You can wield a sword, shield, and crutch all in one hand, so even if you are missing an arm then you're all set. If you are missing both arms but still have both legs then unfortunately you'll be limited to biting, dodging, and wrestling with legs. If you're missing both arms and one leg then your movement will be limited and you'll be limited to biting and wrestling with your one remaining leg. And if all limbs are missing then you'll be limited to rolling around on the ground biting things.

Though you might actually be able to do surprisingly well as a Legendary Biter, especially if you powerlevel your strength to the point where you can shake things around by the teeth ripping limbs off, if you lose both legs then your character is going to be severely limited just due to the poor movement rate, so at that point it's probably best to opt for retirement or a glorious death in battle.

== What creatures of night can I become? ==

You basically have four different choices.

Firstly, you can become a [[necromancer|'''necromancer''']].
* That gives you some traits of an undead. Namely, you don't need to eat, sleep or drink, don't tire or age, zombies or mummies don't attack you and your physical stats are permanently fixed.
* The last one means it's wise to train them beforehand.
* You also can raise dead from the {{K|x}} menu. Depending on the flavor of your spell, zombies can be slow, very slow or not slow at all. They will be listed as companions.
* To become a necromancer, find a necromancer tower and obtain a book or slab containing secrets of life and death from there, then read it. Note that most of the books are useless. In younger worlds necromancers may not have built their towers yet, in which case they'll be hanging at a zombie bandit camp, slab under the arm.

Secondly, you can become a [[vampire|'''vampire''']].
* That gives you most traits of an undead. In addition to the listed above, you don't feel pain, don't breathe and immune to most syndromes.
* Your strength, agility and toughness are doubled.
* They're still fixed forever, so, again, be prepared.
* You gain blood vision, in which all creatures with blood not in your field of view will be represented with {{Tile|☼|4:0:1}}.
* Despite not needing to drink water, you have a hunger for warm blood. To satisfy it, beat someone or something unconscious and {{K|e}}at their blood.
* To become a vampire, defeat one in combat and drink his blood.
* In version 0.42.01, it is now possible to be "cursed" by a god into becoming a vampire by desecrating statues\totems\altars dedicated to them. This can be done by pressing {{k|u}} while adjacent to interact with them, and toppling them. {{version|0.42.01}}

Thirdly, you can become a [[werebeast|'''werebeast''']].
* This gives you the (uncontrolled) ability to transform into a powerful half-man, half-beast on a full moon.
* There's a fixed list of animals on which the werebeast is based, including goat, llama, lizard, horse, monitor, buffalo, moose, tortoise, camel, kangaroo, ape, gecko, bear, hyena, warthog, iguana, skink, shrew, elk, skunk, pig, raccoon, panda, mole, badger, armadillo, mammoth and more.
* Most importantly, upon transformation (both ways) all your wounds, including missing limbs, are instantly healed.
* You don't show any abnormalcy outside of beast form. You are still mortal.
* When in beast form, everything is hostile to you, you don't need to drink, eat, sleep or breathe, don't feel pain, don't tire and are immune to some syndromes.
* One randomly chosen metal is ten times as deadly to you than usual. All other materials deal you half damage.
* Werebeast's size is several times their base animal size, but no less than 80000. This means all armor will be too small for you while in beast form. But you can still use a shield.
* Also, some werebeasts are truly gigantic — weremammoth has a size of 9000000, on par with demons.
* To become a werebeast, make one bite you. It has to be in the beast form.
* In version 0.42.01, it is now possible to be "cursed" by a god into becoming a werebeast by desecrating statues\totems\altars dedicated to them. This can be done by pressing {{k|u}} while adjacent to interact with them, and toppling them.{{version|0.42.01}}
* You cannot be a werebeast and a vampire at the same time.

And finally, you can become a mist [[zombie|'''zombie''']].
* This makes you undead. In addition to vampire traits, you can see without eyes and can't die via blood loss or beheading. Note that you don't have health point limit raised zombies have.
* You become permanently hostile to everyone except other undead.
* Your strength and toughness are tripled and fixed. Train beforehand.
* Depending on the flavor of zombie virus, your speed may or may not drop to 20% or 60% of its normal value.
* To become a mist zombie, find a mist/fog cloud that zombifies creatures and run into it.
* You cannot become a vampire or a werebeast if you are already a zombie. The other way, however, is fine.

=A glimpse into the Future=
{{D for dwarf}}

* Passage from "Shooting <s>for</s> the sky" , the giant toad bone bound book by Nefil Blackbone the human necromancer :

{{Quote|align=left|
... While seemingly absurd , the practice of ones abilities with a ranged weapon can be furthered by directing said weapon towards the sky .
After all , during day time the sky has one giant target that might even seem so large that it's impossible to miss , and the night sky has many smaller ones .
It has been well documented that hitting the target may not be necessary to achieve improvement in ones skill with said arms , thus it is reasonable to expect every subsequent shot after the first will hit a tad closer to it's intended target , this has further lead me to believe in the possibility of sky exploration , for with this logic at some point the projectile will actually hit it's target and could subsequently be replaced with a test [[goblin|dummy]] to further resolve survival issues and empty ones [[invader|guest]] [[stockpile|accommodations]] in one go .
Finally with said preparations accomplished it would be possible to explore whatever is beyond that great blue/black border above .
However some skeptical dwarven scholars suggest this to be impossible and rather place their bets on the tried and tested dwarven [[bridge|launch system]] , while notable human scholars propose using bigger [[catapult|armaments]] to accomplish the goal .
This is how the great space race between the Elves , Dwarves and Humans began , which would later on lead to massive intergalactic conflicts , space goblin invasions , immortal human emperors , elven space gates , interplanetary clown-storms all under the name of the humble dwarven hammer of war ...}}

Help:Templates

Mocha2007: /* Anonymous parameters */

{{PD Help Page}}
If you have standard texts you want to include on several pages, the MediaWiki template feature comes into play.

==Creation==
Templates are standard wiki pages whose content is designed to be [[w:Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] (embedded) inside other pages. Templates follow a convention that the name is prefixed with "<code>Template:</code>", assigning it to that [[Help:Namespaces|namespace]]; besides this, you can [[Help:Starting a new page|create them like any other wiki page]].

The simplest use of templates is as follows. If you create a page called "Template:Welcome" with contents:

Hello! Welcome to the wiki.

you'll have created your first template! If you then insert the code:

<nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki>

in any other page, when that page is viewed the text "Hello! Welcome to the wiki." will appear instead of <code><nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki></code>. The template content is "transcluded" into the other page, i.e. it is integrated in the page.

You can then insert <code><nowiki>{{Welcome}}</nowiki></code> at any point of any page where you wish to welcome someone. Suppose it is used in 100 pages. If you then change the template contents to:

Hi there! Welcome to this wonderful wiki.

and revisit any of the 100 pages where the template was used, you'll see the new text instead of the original one. In this way, you have changed the content of 100 pages without editing them, because the template is transcluded into these pages.

This is the basic mechanism. There are several additional features of transclusion that enrich this mechanism and make templates very useful.

==Usage==
Templates can be used in other pages in these ways:

*<code><nowiki>{{Name}}</nowiki></code> — as described above, this link will be dynamically replaced by the current content of <nowiki>[[Template:Name]]</nowiki> at the time the page with the template link is loaded. The link will remain unchanged in the page's source.
*<code><nowiki>{{subst:Name}}</nowiki></code> — when this template link is used, it will be replaced once and for all with the content of <nowiki>[[Template:Name]]</nowiki> as of the time the page with the link is '''saved''': a copy of the contents of <nowiki>[[Template:Name]]</nowiki> will be ''substituted'' for the template link. The contents are then a part of the including page, and can be edited normally, separately from the original. ''Note'': changes to the source template page will ''not'' be propagated to the page with the template link.
*<code><nowiki>{{safesubst:Name}}</nowiki></code> — this was introduced in [[rev:61710]] to allow for substitution that doesn't break transclusion, see [[w:en:Help:Substitution#The safesubst: modifier]].
*<code><nowiki>{{msgnw:Name}}</nowiki></code> includes the template in a form that displays it as raw wiki syntax (the way <code><nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></code> does) when the page containing it is fetched.

In fact, an ordinary wiki page can also be used as a template, simply by specifying the namespace it resides in, so:

*<code><nowiki>{{Template:Pagename}}</nowiki></code> includes <code><nowiki>[[Template:Pagename]]</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>{{Foo:Pagename}}</nowiki></code> includes <code><nowiki>[[Foo:Pagename]]</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>{{:Pagename}}</nowiki></code> includes <code><nowiki>[[Pagename]]</nowiki></code>
**<code><nowiki>{{subst::Pagename}}</nowiki></code> replaces itself with the contents of <code><nowiki>[[Pagename]]</nowiki></code>

If no such namespace exists, the full title is assumed to be a template:

*<code><nowiki>{{Foo:Bar}}</nowiki></code> includes <code><nowiki>[[Template:Foo:Bar]]</nowiki></code>

==Parameters==
To enrich the mechanism of transclusion, MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to a template when it is transcluded. Parameters allow the template to produce different contents or have different behaviors.

Suppose you wish to insert a little thank you note in the [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]] of other users, such as:

{{Thankyou|all your effort|Me}}
The thank you note will have a reason (in this case, "all your effort") and a signature ("Me"). Your objective is that any user is able to thank any other user, for any reason whatsoever.

So that the note will look similar everywhere it is used, you can define a template called [[Template:Thankyou]], for example. Although the note should look similar whenever a user thanks another user, its specific contents (i.e. the reason and the signature) will be different. For that reason, you should pass them as parameters. If we ignore the remaining elements to format the box and place the image, the core content of the template will be this:

<pre><nowiki>'''A little thank you...'''
for {{{1}}}.
hugs, {{{2}}}</nowiki></pre>

Notice the use of <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki></code>. This is the way to identify, within templates, the parameters that will be passed in when the template is used. Note that, within the template, each parameter is surrounded by '''three''' braces: <code><nowiki>{{{ }}}</nowiki></code>. This is different from normal template name usage.

When using the template on a page, you fill in the parameter values, separated by a "pipe" character (<code>|</code>). MediaWiki allows parameters to be passed to the template in three ways: Anonymously, Numbered, and Named.

=== Anonymous parameters ===
To pass in anonymous parameters, list the values of those parameters sequentially:

<nowiki>{{Thankyou|all your effort|Me}}</nowiki>
In this case, the <code><nowiki>{{Thankyou}}</nowiki></code> template receives parameters <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}=all your effort</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}=Me</nowiki></code>, producing:

{{Thankyou|all your effort|Me}}

The order in which anonymous parameters are passed in is crucial to its behaviour. Reversing the order of the parameters, like so:

<nowiki>{{Thankyou|Me|all your effort}}</nowiki>

would produce this result:

{{Thankyou|Me|all your effort}}

'''Note:''' identifying parameters by order (with <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code>, etc.) works ''only'' with anonymous parameters. If your page identifies any parameter by number or name, as shown below, this method will no longer be available to the template which receives them.

=== Numbered parameters ===
To pass in parameters by number, identify each parameter when passing it:

<nowiki>{{Thankyou|2=Me|1=your friendship}}</nowiki>

This time, template <code><nowiki>{{Thankyou}}</nowiki></code> receives parameters <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}=your friendship</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}=Me</nowiki></code>, though they have been supplied in inverse order, and produces:
{{Thankyou|2=Me|1=your friendship}}

=== Named parameters ===
The third way of passing parameters is by name, instead of numbers. In this case, the template contents would be changed to:

<pre><nowiki>'''A little thank you...'''
for {{{reason}}}.
hugs, {{{signature}}}</nowiki></pre>

Within the template, we use <code><nowiki>{{{reason}}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{signature}}}</nowiki></code> to identify each parameter, instead of a number. To pass these parameters by name, identify each parameter when passing it:

<nowiki>{{Thankyou|signature=Me|reason=being who you are}}</nowiki>

In this case, template <code><nowiki>{{Thankyou}}</nowiki></code> receives parameters <code><nowiki>{{{reason}}}=being who you are</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{signature}}}=Me</nowiki></code> and produces:

{{Thankyou|signature=Me|reason=being who you are}}
The advantage of using named parameters in your template, besides also being flexible in the order parameters can be passed, is that it makes the template code much easier to understand if there are many parameters.

=== Default values ===
If you transclude a template that expects parameters, but do not provide them, in this way:

<nowiki>{{Thankyou}}</nowiki>

in the numbered parameters example above you would get the following:

{{Thankyou}}
Since no parameters were passed in, the template presents the parameters themselves, instead of their respective values. In these cases, it may be useful to define ''default'' values for the parameters, i.e. values that will be used if no value is passed in. For example, if the template contents are changed to:

<pre><nowiki>'''A little thank you...'''
for {{{reason|everything}}}.
hugs, {{{signature|Me}}}</nowiki></pre>

then <code><nowiki>{{{reason|everything}}}</nowiki></code> defines that if no parameter <code>{{{reason}}}</code> is provided, then the value <code>everything</code> will be used. Similarly, <code><nowiki>{{{signature|Me}}}</nowiki></code>, defaults parameter <code>{{{signature}}}</code> to value <code>Me</code>. Now, transcluding the template again without passing any parameter, results in the following:

{{Thankyou|reason=everything|signature=Me}}

==Control template inclusion==
By default, a template's content is displayed in its entirety, both when viewed directly and when included in another page. However, you can control which parts of a template will be seen and included by the use of the <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and
<code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> tags.

Anything between <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code> will be seen only when the template's page is being viewed directly, but not when it is included in another page. This is useful when you want to include text or code in a template that you do not want to propagate to any pages which include it, such as:

* [[Help:Categories|Category]] links when categorizing the template itself
* [[Help:Links#Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] to similar templates in other languages
* Explanatory text about how to use the template

Likewise, anything between <code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></includeonly></nowiki></code> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being included, but not when the template page is being viewed directly, and is useful in situations such as:

* [[Help:Categories| Categorizing]] pages which include the template. ''Note:'' when changing the categories applied by a template in this fashion, the categorization of the pages which include that template may not be updated until some time later: this is handled by the {{mediawiki|Manual:Job queue|job queue}}. To force the re-categorization of a particular page, open that page for editing and save it without changes.
* Ensuring that the template's code is not executed when viewing the template page itself. Typically this is because it expects parameters, and its execution without parameters has an undesired result.

Everything outside <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and
<code><nowiki><includeonly></nowiki></code> tags is processed and displayed normally; that is, both when the template page is being viewed directly and when the template is included in another page.

==Organizing templates==
For templates to be effective, users need to find them, and find out how to use them.

To find them, users can:
# Click '''Special Pages > All Pages'''
# In the '''Namespace''' list, choose '''Template''' and click '''Go'''.

To give usage information, include an example like this one on the template page:

<pre><nowiki>
<noinclude>
== Usage ==
Welcome users:
{{Thankyou|reason=your reason|signature=your signature}}
</noinclude>
</nowiki></pre>

Then, an editor can simply copy and paste the example to use the template.

==Copying from one wiki to another==
Templates often require [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:CSS CSS] or other templates, so users frequently have trouble copying templates from one wiki to another. The steps below should work for most templates.

=== MediaWiki code ===
If you have import rights on the new wiki:
# Go to [[Special:Export]] on the original wiki, and download an .xml file with the complete history of all necessary templates, as follows:
#* Enter the name of the template in the big text box, e.g. "Template:Welcome". Pay special attention to capitalization and special characters — if the template name isn't exactly correct, the export may still occur but the .xml file will not have the expected data.
#* Check the box "Include templates".
#* '''Uncheck''' the box "Include only the current revision".
#* Click Export.
# Go to [[Special:Import]] on the new wiki and upload the .xml file.

If you don't have import rights on the new wiki:
# Go to [[Special:Export]] on the original wiki, and download an .xml file with the latest version only of all necessary templates, as follows:
#* Enter the name of the template in the big text box.
#* Check the box "Include templates".
#* '''Check''' the box "Include only the current revision".
#* Click Export.
#* Open the file in a text editor and replace certain [[w:en:XML entity|XML entities]] with the corresponding characters: &lt; → <, &gt; → >, &quot; → " and &amp; → &. Because of XML syntax rules, these entities appear in the XML file, but they should not appear in the edit box of the MediaWiki instance.
#* Manually copy the text inside the <code><nowiki><text></nowiki></code> tag of each listed template into a similarly named template in your wiki. In the edit summary of each template, link to the original page for attribution.

This will copy the entire code necessary, and will suffice for some templates.

=== Extensions ===
An extension often used in templates is ParserFunctions. Visit page {{mediawiki|Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions}} and check if any of the functions listed there are used in the templates you've copied. If so, you have to install the {{mediawiki|Extension:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions extension}}. To install it, you'll need system admin access to the server of your MediaWiki installation.

=== CSS and JavaScript code ===
Besides MediaWiki code, many templates make use of CSS and some rely on JavaScript to work fully. If the copied templates are not behaving as expected, this may be the cause. To copy the required CSS and JavaScript to your wiki you'll normally need to have admin priviledges, because you'll be editing system messages in the "MediaWiki:" namespace.

# Look for the use of CSS classes (text like <code>class="foobar"</code>) in the template text. If those classes appear in "MediaWiki:Common.css" or "MediaWiki:Monobook.css" on the original wiki, copy them to "MediaWiki:Common.css" on the new wiki and check if the template is now fine.
# If the copied template is still not working as expected, check if there is code in "MediaWiki:Common.js" or "MediaWiki:Monobook.js" on the original wiki. If so, you can try copying it to "MediaWiki:Common.js" on the new wiki. Normally, it is a good idea to only copy code from trusted sources, and first browsing the code to identify and select the parts that are relevant. You may find comments that can serve as clues to identify the functionality of each part.

Help:Namespace

2017-06-23T20:47:31Z

Mocha2007: /* Uses */

A '''namespace''' is a prefix in a page's title that serves as a way to organize large groups of pages (in contrast, [[Help:Category|Categories]] are added on a page-by-page basis). For instance, this page is in the Help namespace, and [[DF2012:Alcohol]] is in the DF2012 namespace. The namespace a page is in can be easily identified by looking at the page title; For instance, on this page, "Help" is the namespace, and "Namespace" is the page name. They are separated by a colon (":").

A page without a namespace is in the '''main namespace''', or "Mainspace" (all pages are in a namespace, even if it is not apparent from the title). Also note that colons do not necessarily indicate a namespace - for example, [[Foo:Example]] is in the main namespace, since the "Foo" namespace does not exist (the page name is "Foo:Example"). [[:Category:DF2012:Flying]] is in the "Category" namespace (the page name is "DF2012:Flying").

==Uses==
On this wiki, namespaces are used to categorize pages for versions of Dwarf Fortress - we can also use categories, but that would not allow us to make multiple pages on the same subject for different versions. Any pages in the Main namespace are either the Main Page, or redirects.
Any wiki can have their own use and meaning for namespaces - for instance, a wiki might not use namespaces at all, having every content page in the Main space, and another wiki may have many namespaces in use, each for their own subject. <s>These wikis are often most untidy and unorganized.</s> There is no convention for namespaces that spans across every website running the MediaWiki software, as they are in no way connected (except for cross-wiki affiliation).

==List of namespaces==
Here is a list of every namespace currently in use. Note that every namespace has their own talk namespace, and is named after the parent namespace, suffixed by "Talk". For instance, the talk space for the Help namespaces is named "Help Talk".

Also note that all namespaces (and aliases) are case-insensitive. For example, DF2012 and df2012 are functionally the same (although the wiki will change "df2012" to "DF2012" in titles).
* 23a: this namespace is for articles about version 0.23.130.23a.
* 40d: this namespace is for articles about version 0.28.181.40d.
* v0.31: this namespace is for articles about version 0.31.25.
* v0.34: this namespace is for articles about version 0.34.11
* '''DF2014''': this namespace is for articles about version {{current/version/ns|DF2014}}, which is the latest version of Dwarf Fortress.
* Help: this namespace is for articles that describe wiki concepts, or teach new editors how things work.
* Dwarf Fortress Wiki: These are for projects, wiki rules, and other wiki-specific discussion. Discussions about specific pages should instead go to their own talk page.
* Main: These pages are not specific to a version of DF, including the [[Main Page]], [[orthogonal]], [[ASCII Art Reward]], etc.
* Masterwork: These are articles on Masterwork Dwarf Fortress, which is a mod.
* Category: These represent categories, which help organize pages by topic rather than by version.
* User: These pages are for users themselves to make. Logged-in users can create a '''user page''' with information about themselves, DF-related projects, or anything else they want. Users can also create any pages they like in their "userspace", as subpages of their user page. For example, a user named Bob can create User:Bob, User:Bob/sandbox, User:Bob/this/is/a/long/list/of/subpages, and so on. Users should generally avoid editing other users' user pages.
** User talk pages are special: leaving a message on a user's talk page automatically notifies the user. (However, editing user talk subpages does not generate a notification)

===Special namespaces===
* File: These are not actually content pages - anything is this namespace is a media file, and those can be audio, video and pictures.
* MediaWiki: Pages in this namespace are system messages, controlling text that appears on the wiki (e.g. the sidebar or the "View history" tab). These pages can only be edited by administrators.
* Special: These pages are controlled by the software this wiki is using, and cannot be edited by normal means. They are necessary for a variety of tasks on the wiki.

===Aliases===

Help:Links

2017-06-23T20:47:27Z

Mocha2007:

Links provide easy references to other pages within the wiki, or other websites, that can be clicked on. A link is defined by using single or double square brackets. Further explanation is below.

==Internal links==
Internal links are links that go to any page on the Dwarf Fortress wiki. You do not need to include the entire {{Tooltip|URL|Exact location of a page on the internet}} when using internal links, only the page name.
To make an internal link, you can simply click on the button with blue underlined text on it, but the point of this page is to explain how to make them in the source.
An internal link looks like this in the code:<br />
<nowiki>[[Main page]]</nowiki>
And on the page, it looks like this:<br />
[[Main page]]

In cases where you want a link to a page without showing the page name to the viewer(that's quite common), you can use a vertical pipe in the link, like this:<br />
<nowiki>Click [[Main page|here]] to go to the main page of the wiki.</nowiki>
On the page, it looks like this:<br />
Click [[Main page|here]] to go to the main page of the wiki.

==External links==
External links are links that go to any page on the internet, even pages on this wiki. However, the convention is to use internal links for that purpose, seeing as it is not only easier, but also makes the source look a lot more organized. Again, you can also simply click the globe-with-paper icon, but the point of this page is to describe the syntax.
An external link is written like this:
<nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki>
To achieve this:<br />
[http://www.google.com]<br />
However, the result above doesn't look like anything meaningful, so it is a lot more common to use link text to replace the full URL, similar to internal links.
It looks like this:
<nowiki>[http://www.google.com Google]</nowiki>
Noticed that there is no pipe, but instead of a pipe, a space? That's because URLs cant contain spaces, but page names on the wiki can. That's all technical, and the reason for it is beyond the scope of this page.
Anyway, the syntax above will magically turn into this when saved:<br />
[http://www.google.com Google]

==Redirects==
Redirect links are actually internal links, but with a special purpose. A redirect link can be the only thing on a page, and if there is anything else on it, then the redirect link wont work(actually, it only doesn't if there is any content before the link, anything after it is simply text). A redirect link will be automatically followed when a user clicks a link to the page containing a redirect link.
A random example of a redirect is [[Butcher|this page]]. Notice how it instead '''redirects''' you to another page? You may not actually notice at first, but take a look at the title, and look a bit under it... see that link? Click on it. Then you will see the actual contents of the redirect page without being redirected to the target page.
A redirect link is created like this:<br />
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target page]]</nowiki>
There is no point in showing what the code turns into, because it wont work. You can try it out in a sandbox(usually a page in your own userspace) if you are that willing.

You may be familiar with namespaces. If you are not, please visit the [[Help:Namespace|help page on namespaces]].
Double redirects are redirects that lead to another redirect, which, counterintuitively, do not redirect to the page the second redirect goes to; which is often the "real page". There are rules for (double) redirects on this wiki, and can be found [[DF:R|here]]. Please make sure you follow those rules, as it will cause a lot of trouble, generally unnecessary, preventable trouble if you don't follow these rules.

==Redlinks==
A redlink is, surprise, a link that is red. A redlink is a link to a page that doesn't exist.
A redlink can be easily created by making a link containing a reference to something completely random:
<nowiki>[[FJEIGHIH8ODHG8RHGIOH8E7684YH8EHGE|This link is absolute nonsense!]]</nowiki>
To make it morph into this:<br />
[[FJEIGHIH8ODHG8RHGIOH8E7684YH8EHGE|This link is absolute nonsense!]]<br />
Please make sure that you, when you link to a page, make sure that it exists - preferably by using the preview button when editing a page. Redlinks have absolutely no practical purpose on any wiki whatsoever, except for indicating that a certain link does not work. There is really no point in creating a redlink either, and this page explains how a redlink is created for the purpose of explaining links.

The expedition outfitter takes materials and bundles them into a set of gear. You can outfit Diplomats with ink and paper, Spies with coats, daggers and black powder, caravans with wagons and crafts, mining expeditions with picks, candles and weapons, as well as mercenaries with weapons, armor and a catapult for besieging enemies. Bards need instruments and booze of course.

All groups require backpacks and flasks for on the way.

Once you pack a set of gear, you can send a dwarf to the [[Expedition starting point]]. This building should be build at the map edge, for realisms sake.

Loot from the Expedition Starting Point is unpacked here. The reaction runs automatically.

This buildings allows you to spawn [[cv:caravan|caravans]], [[cv:siege|sieges]], [[cv:diplomat|diplomats]] and [[cv:megabeast|megabeasts]]. It needs dfhack to run and only works on [[civilization]]s that exist in your world. This means you cant force a drow caravan if you play in a world without drow.

Civilizations still respect their triggers, this means that a certain amount of wealth or dwarves must be met. The bigger and more wealthy your fortress is, the higher the success rate of these reactions.

Diplomacy doesn't come cheap, you need to spend coins. Inviting other races costs 2000 [[cv:coin|coin]]s, opening a tradefair 5000 coins, and declaring wars are 1000 coins each.

Masterwork:Dwarven castes

2017-06-23T20:44:17Z

Mocha2007: /* Alchemist's Guild */

{{Quality|Superior|20:00, 18 November 2013 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
Masterwork dwarf fortress provides various castes to which a dwarf can belong. Dwarves of certain castes learn certain skills faster and may have other benefits. The basic dwarven caste is simply called "Dwarf" and is the base against which other castes are compared, Male and Female dwarves are treated as different castes, even though there are no differences between them. Migrants and embark dwarves may have a special caste, and other dwarves can transform through various methods in game.

Starting Dwarves and Migrants have about a:
- 64%(50000/77000) chance to belong to the 'Basic' caste (i.e. have no Caste)
- 32%(25000/77000) change to belong to one of the normal castes, the chance to belong to each of the castes, be it a guild, the priest caste or a military caste is equal, even though the description of some of the castes suggests otherwise.
- 1,7% change to be a Mage.
- the chance to be Male or Female is equal.

= Guild Dwarfs =

Civilian dwarves may join one of the 12 guild castes at the [[guild hall]] for 500 sovereigns (gold coins). The guilds are:

== Merchant's Guild ==
These dwarves make excellent traders, bookkeepers and diplomats and learn these skills faster.

== Carpenter's Guild ==
These dwarves are experts at working with wood and gain bonuses to woodcutting, carpentry, bowyer and wood crafting.

== Mason's Guild ==
These dwarves learn masonry, engraving, stone crafting, mining, architecture and archaeology more quickly. Mason's guild miners are also less affected by harder mining additions such as coal dust and warp stone.

== Beast Warden's Guild ==
These dwarves are great at working with animals and gain bonuses to animal training, animal armouring, animal dissecting, trapping, hunting and hive keeping.

== Smith's Guild ==
These dwarves are especially skilled at handling metals and gain bonuses to furnace operating, oven operating, weapon smithing, armouring, Blacksmithing and metal crafting.

== Jeweller's Guild ==
These dwarves are skilled in the fine arts and gain bonuses to gem cutting, gem setting and glass making.

== Craftsman's Guild ==
These dwarves are artisans of the smaller industries and gain bonuses when working with bone crafting, leather working, weaving and tailoring, toolmakers and scribes are also part of this guild.

== Fisherman's Guild ==
These dwarves gain bonuses to fishing, fish cleaning and fish farming.

== Farmer's Guild ==
These dwarves are responsible for most of the food production and gain bonuses to farming, brewing, cooking, milking, cheesemaking and butchery.

== Healer's Guild ==
These dwarves make for highly skilled doctors and earn bonuses to diagnosis, surgery, setting bones, suturing and dressing wounds.

== Engineer's Guild ==
These dwarves handle the more technical things in fortress life. They learn mechanics, siege engineering, siege operating, machine operating and inventing/researching more quickly than other dwarves.

== Alchemist's Guild ==
These dwarves handle explosives, poisons and acids on a daily basis and learn alchemy, herbalism, chemistry and poision making more quickly.

= Dwarven Priest =

The dwarven priests, also known as apostles of Armok, are a special caste that can be joined at the [[monastery]] for free. Apostles cannot learn any skills except for praying, which they learn quickly, and avoid manual labour.

= Military Castes =

Dwarves can also join one of four military castes at the [[military garrison]] for 2500 gold. Military dwarves learn military skills more quickly and also learn military tactics, leadership and situational awareness. They are used to pain and have a higher willpower and recuperation than civilians

== Legionnaires ==

Legionnaires learn to handle all melee weapons and have more strength than other dwarves.

== Guards ==
Guards excel in using armour and shields and are tougher than other dwarves.

== Wrestlers ==
Wrestler training teaches unarmed combat and dodging above all else. They tire slowly and are very agile.

== Marksmen ==
Marksmen learn to handle all ranged weapons and gain keen eyes with a greater view range.

Sadistic underground creatures, ruled by one matriarch. Be sure to keep on their good side. No one really knows what exactly the drow want or how big their kingdom is. They do live in underground caverns and tunnel networks, rarely seen on the surface. The only race they trade with are the dwarves, maybe seeing a minor connection between the races, since both live underground. Drow use the fallen bodies of their enemies to create vile magic and will trade more or less anything. Don't be surprised to see cursed gargoyle statues, weapons and armor of a strange, demonic material and similar things. Drow ethics are just plain different from the other higher races. Just watch the incoming caravans, pulled by giant spiders, trade with the hooded, shaded figures, and hope they make it safely back to their fortress. Drow bodyguards can usually fend ambushes off themselves, so don't be too worried about them.

Trading with the Drow can usually be a very good thing. They only work with one metal, [[bloodsteel]], which for most intents and purposes, equal to steel. Like the elves, they also have a good variety of interesting animals, like Giant Blade Spiders and Giant Drowspiders, which can give you infinite silk and even set up defensive cage trap corridors that can get megabeasts.

[CREATURE_CLASS:ALL_CREATURES][DESCRIPTION:A medium-sized and evil creature, living in matriarchistic underground cities. Drow rarely meddle in the affairs of others, but when the time is right to strike they do so with deadly force. Deep drow traders occasionally venture to the surface world to barter mysterious goods from the underdark.]

The colosseum allows you to fight creatures. You need a changeling pet for it to work. The changeling is transformed into the monster you want to fight. To create metal colossi as enemies you will also need the "book of summonings" which can be bought from the drow.

The creatures are sorted by strength. Some have special abilities: Cerberus can breath fire. Cave Ogre is blind. Giant Scorpion has very potent venom. The balrog is hot enough to melt parts of it that are not magma-proof. Each killed balrog gives you 2 volcanic weapons, a trophy and a skill aether, for the legendary skill boost.

Every Colossus is a building destroyer, so if you don't kill him, he will raze the colosseum, the door, and then your fortress. Each killed colossus gives you a trophy, 25 bars of metal, and a soul, for the legendary skill boost.
