+ | This is NOT realtime! Dwarvis has the ability to be realtime, though 3Dwarf is much more recommended. What this does is read the map out of your computer's memory when DF is running and save it to a file it can read. It can then open that file and show you your fort in glorious 3d. Still in beta, obviously. | ||

It allows for some nefarious cheating. For example, you can now mark your nobles as butcherable, and change possessed dwarves to fey moods. | |

− | + | Dwarf Manager is inspired by Dwarf Foreman and has a similar overall layout, but improved features. You can not only assign jobs to profession groups but also to individual dwarves; you can view their current skill for a given job displayed handily in the job grid; and you can also change their personal and profession names straight from the interface. The program handles social and military skills as well. | |

(If the hide utility is ever updated, you could also hide a few magma tiles and then dig them out. That worked in the old version.) Because there is no actual flag that controls whether magma has been seen (the game searches a list, probably a list of notable events), I had to patch the game's code. This means you need to run the utility every time you start dwarfort.exe. |

Caveat: The teleport utility does not correctly set the occupancy flag for map squares. As a results, dwarves will permanently crawl through the square that you teleported them out of. In addition, you cannot build structures in those squares. | Caveat: The teleport utility does not correctly set the occupancy flag for map squares.

Quick hack to refill ponds. Run this while your fortress is up, and it'll restore any "murky pool" tiles (i.e. the floor of ponds and lakes) to 7/7 water. If you've tunneled into a pond, it'll still refill but will flow out normally. Only works with version 33e due to its "quick hack" status. Note: If there is lava in a murky pool, it will be raised to depth 7/7. | Quick hack to refill ponds.
