Triggs: Draft stockpile settings for textile industry

=Mini Textile Industry Stockpile Settings=
This will give you some help optimising the stockpiles for your Textile Industry.
It is *not* all inclusive, but just covers plant fibers and wool. Making the dye and using metal threads are outside the scope of this section. 
You should have:
*A stockpile around your {{L|Farmer's Workshop}}
*A stockpile around your {{L|Dyer's shop}}
*A stockpile around your {{L|Loom}}
*A stockpile around your {{L|Clothier's Shop}}
*An output stockpile for finished backpack/clothing/quiver/rope/bag.

For the '''Farmer's Workshop stockpile''', customise the stockpile as follows:
*'''{{K|e}}nable Food and Refuse''' - select each one and hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''{{K|d}}isable other top-level categories'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Food except Plants''' - You can also select Food, hit {{K|b}} for Block All, then move to Food->Plants and press {{K|p}} for Permit.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Plants except {{L|Pig Tail}} and {{L|Rope reed}}'''
*'''Forbid all subtypes of refuse except''' Refuse->Hair/Wool.
*Now hit {{K|Esc}} to exit the custom settings.

For the '''Dyer's shop stockpile''', use the same commands but:
*'''{{K|e}}nable Cloth and Food''' - select each one and hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''Disable other top-level categories''' if they aren't already disabled.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all metal subtypes of Cloth.'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Food except Milled Plant''' - You can also select Food, hit {{K|b}} for Block All, then move to Food->Milled Plant and press {{K|p}} for Permit.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Milled Plant except Dimple Dye, Emerald Dye, Redroot Dye, and Silver Dye.'''
*'''Disable Prepared food''' - go to Food and press {{K|u}}.

For the '''Loom stockpile''', use the same commands but:
*'''{{K|e}}nable Cloth''' - hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''Disable other top-level categories''' if they aren't already disabled.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Cloth except these Thread categories: Silk, Plant, and Yarn.'''

For the '''Clothier's Shop stockpile''', use the same commands but:
*'''{{K|e}}nable Cloth''' - hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''Disable other top-level categories''' if they aren't already disabled.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Cloth except these Cloth categories: Silk, Plant, and Yarn.'''

'''For the output stockpile (if desired)''',
*'''{{K|e}}nable Finished Goods and Furniture/Siege Ammo''' - hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''{{K|f}}orbid the following subtypes of Finished Goods: Stone/Clay and Metal'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Finished Goods->Type except chains(for rope), footwear, headwear, handwear, legwear, backpacks, and quivers.'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Finished Goods->Other Materials except Plant Cloth, Silk, and Yarn.'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid the following subtypes of Furniture/Siege Ammo: Stone/Clay and Metal'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Furniture/Siege Ammo->Type except boxes and bags.'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Furniture/Siege Ammo->Other Materials except Plant Cloth, Silk, and Yarn.'''
*'''Disable Sand Bag''' - go to Furniture/Siege Ammo and press {{K|u}}.

'''For your custom general use stockpile''' (if one exists) use {{K|q}} to change the {{K|s}}ettings to {{K|d}}isable Cloth and also forbid (under Food->Milled Plant) all dyes. Also {{K|d}}isable Refuse->Hair/Wool. Since {{L|Pig Tail}} and {{L|Rope reed}} can also be used to brew {{L|Alcohol}}, it is up to you whether or not to disable these plants from the general stockpile.
This will cause these things to get moved to your new stockpiles.

The wiki system is set up to autoconfirm a user after 3 days of existence as a registered user. Once that's done, you'll never have to enter a captcha again. (also, it's not possible, even as an admin / bureaucrat to manually add a user to the autoconfirmed group, sorry) --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

''Two dozen'' consecutive edits? "Preview" just not a possibility?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

== cv ==
So, forgive my continuing ignorance, but once the changeover happens, "cv" will then become whatever version 2010 is, right? And if so, how do we then distinguish between redirects appropriate only to the 40d legacy articles (which are currently being "corrected" using CV) and those that should go to the then truly "current version" 2010 articles?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

== search terms and redirects ==

So a redirect chain like Gold bars -> 40d:Gold bars -> 40d:metal is correct, don't change it. Emi
Hi. I'm ''sure'' what you meant was to ask ''"Why did you delete that?"'', and not presume to lecture me about how redirects work. And my response would be - ''"Why did you create it?"'' Because I didn't "change" it, I ''deleted'' it - and there's a difference, and a difference in the reasoning behind each.

"Gold bars" is not really a term to link from, just not appropriate for a page title. It's not a term likely to be typed in to the search window, nor is it a wiki-article title in game terms. [[Gold]] is a perfectly valid (and existing) search term, and [[bars]] are as well, but not in the sense of "gold bars", unless you are [[construction|constructing]] horizontal or vertical bars from a single '''[[bar]]''' of [[gold]] ("bars" of gold being distinct from a "bar" of gold, for better or worse). And it's not usually a policy to create redirects, even Search redirects, based on erroneous understandings of the layout of the wiki. (If so, "silver bars", "copper bars", "bismuth bronze battle axe" and "narrow giant cave spider silk trousers" could all be included by some well meaning user based on one User's example - and that's more work than I want. Or any Admin.) More, "gold bars" is plural, which breaks yet another rule. So why, pray, do we need it in the first place? Lastly, if "gold bars" ''were'' a valid search or redirect term, I would think it should redirect to either "bar", the item (to clarify what a "bar" is, gold or not), or "gold" (the [[material]], to address that aspect), rather than [[metal]], which doesn't address the actual term, but is only a generally related umbrella article - but that confusion gets back to the reason I deleted it in the first place. I didn't even notice it was you that had created that page, but if I had I would have asked you this before deleting it. So... since we're here, why ''did'' you see a need to create it in the first place?

And while we're on the subject, you seem to be fairly enthusiastic about redirecting every game term to cv:game term - even if they are NOT version specific. You may want to slow down before hitting every last one, since things like [[acronym]]s and such will then have to be tracked down and returned to mainspace existence. Several in the long, long list on [[:Category:Obsolete]] seem more than a bit suspect, but I suppose now that it's done only the new version will prove them so or not. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:47, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree that it's maybe a silly redirect, however, right now I am making sure
these redirects all work properly
Use some discretion. I saw a page marked N(ew), and it didn't belong. If you recognize it as "silly", then don't go to the trouble to perpetuate it. And allow me to make something else clear that you should understand. Before you replace a page that Admin has deleted, you should ask them "why?" first. Thanks so much for your understanding on that last point.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:07, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Discretion only slows down serializable tasks like the one I was doing. It's much easier to follow the
same pattern over and over and then go back and do all the stuff necessary to remove a silly redirect
So you are going to cover all those "silly" redirects that require it? Reassuring to hear - so long as someone has it covered, no problem then.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Also, because there's no real reason not to have most of these redirects, it's silly to bother
checking each one before fixing them. If the admins at this wiki are of the "I'm an admin, so my
word is law" attitude, I'm not sure this is a place I want to be.
If that were the case, I would have simply acted high-handed and slapped you and not explained my reasoning - but we both know I didn't, so I'm left wondering why you even mention it. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for ''your'' reason for replacing the page that an Admin deleted rather than asking them why they did it. Even if you ''were'' Admin, do you think that is a good approach to the situation?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:24, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
I didn't notice that you had deleted it until after I had recreated it.
I see.
I ask again if you use either of those other communication methods...
it's much easier to work these things out in real time.
No, sorry. And as Admin of this wiki, I feel it's important to use this format to work these things out. Which (I hope) we've now done. Readya later.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 17:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

== Bot edit request ==

Could you change all of the non-namespace-specific article links in template pages to use [[template:L]]? This is going to be a problem soon. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== EmiBot's Standing Orders ==
Will it do that daily/hourly? B/c new pages are flying up without it. I agree it's overly long, and I thought about that, but it'll only be long for these first few days, until the immediate flurry has calmed a bit, then we back off. Right now, it's amateur hour out there, so any help is a good thing in those directions. (No automatic fixes? Urgh -that's a LOT of manual...) :P --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:08, 2 April 2010 (UTC) 
Again, I find myself waiting on an answer to my question while you focus on your own agenda - still waiting, thanks.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

==Deletion Template==
I explained my reasoning on the talk page, but in short: (1)The mod is not at all notable. (I am not willing to claim a notable mod would not deserve a page on its own, but this is a mod that adds 4 creatures and no one talks about - hardly deserving of a page). (2) There is only one relevant piece of information about this mod - where it can be found. (3) The page doesn't even include that information, and is thus useless. (4) A link to the mod on DFFD or its forum thread, and a very short blurb ("adds 4 new mega beasts") should be added to a general mod page if the mod is going to have a presence on the wiki. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 05:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Ah, sure, i can do that. I honestly just took a stab in the dark that deletion was the right template, and didn't actually know there were options... la la la? --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 06:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== [[Template:Alloy3]] ==

I wasn't sure who to mention this to, and I apologize if it has already been noted, but this template is in use on 40d pages while the link built into the template for [[construction]] links to the "2010" namespace. Not sure what the best way to fix it would be, as I assume that the template will continue to be used. --[[User:Soy|Soy]] 16:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Thanks for looking into that! However, it looks like this is going to be an issue with a lot of the existing templates that are used across both versions. I think I see what your fix does and if I get some free time this evening I would be happy to try to update what I can find unless you can think of any negative impact it would have. -- [[User:Soy|Soy]] 19:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

==nm==
Yeah, I spoke before I read his talk page. And I remembered it as CMD. And he's right in that that's how it "should" be - the fact that it's not how it is in-game just an awkward DF reality. Altho', I see it as a style issue, not a coding issue.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
I probably still would have argued for Cmd with a redirect from CMD.
That's not an issue to take up over one page - that's a global style issue, and would change the established, existing guidelines on [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal]]. (Not that I wouldn't mind seeing some change, but (unsurprisingly) mine are style-based critiques.) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

:Personally, i would've gone for a template that marks an ip, or user. Maybe like it being called UserReport, or Report, and then people could do the template thing to report a user. Not sure how that could be coded in, but it could allow administrators to be more warned and prepared to provide a look at the ip. To be honest, all these spambots are just strange. Also, deja vu, i could've sworn this happened in the exact same way before. Maybe another wiki... --[[User:Hugna|Hugna]] 22:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Playing Dwarf Fortress means lots of typing. The game has an internal macro/keymap system. Using it or any external program can save you a great deal of time when dumping, rewalling, designating, and so forth.

== DF macros ==
=== Creating macros ===
The controls for creating macros within DF are as follows:

*{{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|r}} = record
*{{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|p}} = play
*{{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|s}} = save
*{{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|l}} = load

To create a macro press {{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|r}} to begin recording your actions. When you have recorded all the action you want stop recording by hitting {{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|r}} again and save ({{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|s}}) the macro. The macro is then added to your macro list. To load a macro from the list just press {{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|l}}. You can then play the macro using {{k|Ctrl}}+{{k|p}}.

There is a directory data/init/macros for them. The macros are saved in .mak format. Even a recorded file for a simple macro - for example to create a 3 tiles wide ramp - may already consist of up to 50 commands listed. This is because every possible {{l|Key_bindings|binding of the key pressed}} is included in the macro and put in a block (and {{k|r}} for ramp has many by default).
<pre>
pressing_enter_recorded
SELECT
CLOSE_MEGA_ANNOUNCEMENT
WORLD_PARAM_ENTER_VALUE
SETUPGAME_SAVE_PROFILE_GO
D_BURROWS_DEFINE
D_MILITARY_ALERTS_SET
End of group
CUSTOM_CTRL_R
End of group
End of macro
</pre>
For this example the recording was started, enter was pressed and the recording was stopped. When using this macro every underlying command in the file will be called, if possible. If you are in the designation menu, it will react as a select, the other commands will be ignored. If you are in the burrow menu, it will work like pressing enter there. The macro alway ends with a block containing the end of it's recording. But executing macros seems to ignore this command. If you have changed your key bindings you'll get another result, because the underlying commands are recorded, not the keys pressed. 
When creating or editing your own macros it is a good idea to use only those commands you really want.
<pre>
ramping_created
DESIGNATE_RAMP
End of group
CURSOR_DOWN_Z
End of group
SELECT
End of group
CURSOR_RIGHT
End of group
CURSOR_RIGHT
End of group
SELECT
End of group
CURSOR_LEFT
End of group
CURSOR_LEFT
End of group
CURSOR_UP
End of group
End of macro
</pre>
This selfmade example will designate a 3 tiles wide ramp one z-level below and place the cursor to make the next execution of the macro continue the way down. The first line has to be the name of the file. You can see that there are grouping tags for every single keypress. These are important for a working macro. 
It is unknown if there is the possibility of creationg loops/iterations, other programming features or comments. 
There seem to be problems with changing removing and adding macros while the game is running. Save, quit and restart the game when you want to change something.

=== Tuning macros ===
The less commands a macro consists of, the faster it runs. This means you should avoid unnecessary steps by optimizing the "path" of your designations.

The second and most effective way to increase speed is to remove all unnecessary commands DF recorded with an external texteditor. While the extra commands are ignored by the game, however they take time to be processed. To move a cursor 3 (up/down) or 4 (right/left) commands are recorded, most other keys are bound to more commands. Pressing d for example records more than 30 commands. Depending on what you do, you can increase the speed by 4 or more by reducing the number of commands in every group to the one you need. ''If you edit a macro, you'll have to restart DF afterwards.''

The third way is to change settings in the init-files. In the base init file (data/init/init.txt) you will find the follow lines:
<pre>
If you set KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_LIMIT above one, then after KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_START repetitions
the repetition delay will smoothly decrease until repetition is this number of times faster
than at the start.

[KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_LIMIT:8]
[KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_START:10]

This controls the number of milliseconds between macro instructions.

[MACRO_MS:15]

</pre>
This means that the speed between macro commands will gradually increase until it hits the limit. The secondary command is when the gradual increase in speed increases.

== External utilities ==

=== AutoHotKey ===
# Go to {{L|Utilities#AutoHotKey}} and download AutoHotKey. Installation is simple and the program uses few system resources.
# Write macro scripts (file type .ahk), which may contain any number of commands. You activate scripts by double-clicking .ahk files and deactivate them by right-clicking the AutoHotKey icon on the task bar. Both of these can be done at any time - even right in the middle of a game. AutoHotKey also allows for automated activation of scripts.

:'''Please see also the [[40d:Macros and Keymaps|40d macros page]], as much of what is there works perfectly fine. If you can verify it works, please move it to this page.'''

==== Troubleshooting Scripts ====
Users may experience some issues in getting scripts to work, particularly when using looping scripts when experiencing low frame-rates.
* If experiencing low frame-rates, try adding delays ("Sleep 100" to pause for 100 milliseconds for example) within loops to allow the interface to keep up. If there are nested loops, sometimes adding a pause at the end of an inner loop is all that is needed to flush the keyboard buffer
* Another way to add delay during and after each simulated key press is to put SetKeyDelay, 40, 40 at the start of the macro.
* Make sure that Dwarf Fortress maintains focus. IM windows are the enemy! Who needs friends anyhow? You've got Dwarf Fortress.
* This may go without saying, but most macros assume standard key-mappings. If you're using non-standard ones, you may have to edit the macro to get it to work.
* Visiting liaisons can bring up screens that eat keystrokes, throwing a long-looping script out-of-phase with where it expects the game to be. Wait for the farewell screen before running a long script.
* The SendPlay function supports keys that the Send function does not, for example {{key|Shift-Enter}}. According to the AutoHotKey documentation, SendPlay may also be better at preventing dropped keystrokes.

==== General Fortress Mode Hotkeys Script ====
An attempt at speeding up various designations. Includes an up/down stair builder, a fast move up/down, and some select-and-advance keys. Please see [[user:DDR#Dwarf_Fortress_General_AHK_Script]].

v0.31:Animal trap

2011-06-02T22:44:13Z

Triggs: manager, butcher's shop orders added

{{quality|Fine|15:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Animal traps''' are items used by a {{l|trapper}} to catch {{l|vermin}}.
They are created at a {{l|carpenter's workshop}} or a {{l|metalsmith's forge}} by a dwarf with the trapping labor enabled.

Animal traps can be used by ordering one of your trappers to capture a live land animal in the {{l|kennel}} or {{l|butcher's shop}} with {{k|q}} then {{k|a}}, or placing an order with the {{l|manager}} to catch a live land animal, and can also be built by going into the {{k|b}}uild menu, and choosing {{k|m}} to place an animal trap anywhere. In order to catch small animals, after the trap is placed it must be baited ({{k|q}} to select bait type). Bait can be {{l|fish}}, {{l|meat}}, or a large {{l|gem}} (though gems are currently useless), however, there is a chance that depends on its quality that it will not spring fast enough to catch it, causing the bait to be lost, and the trap will need to be reset and rebaited, which a trapper dwarf will automatically do on his own. According to [[Toady One|Toady]], the formula for the chance that a trap quality gives you successfully trapping a creature (as opposed to being robbed) is '''50/65/75/85/95/100'''; this means that masterwork traps will never be robbed.

== Currently reported bugs ==

* Baiting a trap with meat/fish uses up a whole stack. {{bug|1436}}
