This is a list of createitem commands for DFHack.

Not to be confused with gui/create-item, an interactive Lua script, or create-items, a Ruby script with different syntax and support for fewer types of items.

Usage[edit]

Format:

createitem [Item token] [Material] [Quantity (optional)]

If you select a unit, then that unit will craft the item (and gain appropriate skills), otherwise the first unit in the fortress will be automatically selected.
By default, items will be placed on the floor beneath the cursor.
- If you select a container (such as a barrel, backpack, or minecart) and type createitem item, all subsequently created items will be placed inside that container.
- If you select a building (such as a workshop, chest, or weapon rack) and type createitem building, all subsequently created items will be placed inside that building.
- Typing createitem floor will switch it back to placing created items on the floor.
A list of valid item tokens can be found here. Note that CORPSE, CORPSEPIECE, and FOOD are not supported by DFHack.
You can create multiple items at once by appending a number to the createitem command (e.g. createitem BOULDER INORGANIC:HEMATITE 20). Note that certain item types will be created in stacks, while others will be created as individual items - see the Reactions page for more information.
Text in italics should be replaced with the ID from the relevant raw page on this wiki. For example, to make goblin-cap logs, visit the goblin-cap page and view the raws. The ID is found in the first token, separated from the item type with a colon - for example, the ID for goblin-caps is GOBLIN_CAP, retrieved from [PLANT:GOBLIN_CAP].
- Some IDs contain a space which needs to be quoted, for example createitem ROUGH "INORGANIC:LAPIS LAZULI".
- All ID values are case sensitive, so make sure you capitalize them correctly - in vanilla raws, they are typically all uppercase, but mixed-case IDs may be encountered when using mods.
