Utility:Dwarf Therapist/Addons Repository

Over the years Dwarf Therapist has evolved to boast quite a number of advanced features that streamline the managing of labors in a fort. Most of the power and benefit derived from these features depends on having a good set of roles, professions, optimization plans, and filter scripts.

Please include your additions on this page, including them inline when appropriate or as links to DFFD submissions. Please refrain from linking to other third-party file hosters unless you can ensure the links will still work years from now.

NOTE: This page is for splinterz's fork of Dwarf Therapist, as it is the only version that implements many of these features.

What are all these?

For a detailed explanation of all things Dwarf Therapist, with screenshots and everything, download ResMar's User Guide.

Custom professions are templates that dictate what labors a dwarf should have enabled.

It also changes their profession name in the game so you can easily tell who you have assigned to what professions, though the custom professions do not get written into history nor appear in engravings, etc. When applied to a dwarf, the custom profession will enable all its related labors for him/her and disable any existing labors not in the profession.

Custom roles allow you to define groups of attributes (e.g, strength); traits (e.g, self-discipline); skills (e.g, appraiser); and preferences (e.g., fondness for fire opals) that, when considered together, determine how suited a particular dwarf is for that role.

On their own roles don't do anything, but when combined with the labor optimizer you can assign professions based on how suitable the dwarf is for that labor. For example, melee dwarfs should have high agility (attribute), low anger (trait), be skilled with the various weapon skills (armor user, shield user), and perhaps have a preference for armors. If a dwarf meets this criteria, he is said to fill the melee-dwarf role.

Note that in vanilla Dwarf Fortress roles are simply professions. A "Mason" is a role/profession that says a dwarf has some skills/traits/attributes that make up a good mason. This usage of profession is different than Dwarf Therapist's, as a DT profession is really a collection of labors, and by default has nothing to do with roles.

Optimization plans are used by Dwarf Therapist to automatically assign labors to dwarves based on how suited they are for the labor. The goal in a plan is to minimize the number if idle dwarves by ensuring they all have enough labors assigned, and also to ensure that dwarves get labors they are well suited to. An automatic labor assigner does no good if it never gives the Mining labor to your legendary miner.

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.

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).

Optimization Plans

Slyrdvs's Optimization Plan

{{{image}}}

Download: Google Drive Type: Optimization Plan Author: /u//slyrdvs Current Version: 1.0 Installation: {{{installation}}} Last Updated Apr 29, 2013 From 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.

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).

So, without further ado, run this inside a dfhack console

Copy and paste into dfhack console

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.

Filter Scripts

Ramblurr's Filter Pack

A small collection of filter scripts useful when using the labor optimizer.

Ramblurr's Filter Pack
Military d.squad_id() >= 0 Nobles d.noble_position() Non-Mil d.squad_id() < 0 Non Noble !d.noble_position() Non-Mil and Non-Noble !d.noble_position() && d.squad_id() < 0 Not Missing Limbs !d.has_health_issue(31,0) && !d.has_health_issue(31,1) Missing Limbs d.has_health_issue(31,0) || d.has_health_issue(31,1)

Thistleknot's Filter Pack

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.

Thistleknot's Filter Pack

1. Not Injured/Missing Limb && Not Cursed (Used to find military candidates) d.current_job_id()!=52 //not missing limbs ( ( !d.has_health_issue(31,0) && !d.has_health_issue(31,1)) //OR || !d.has_health_issue(31,-1) ) ) && d.curse_name() == "" 2. Non military && Not Injured && Not Cursed (Used to find noble candidates) d.squad_id() < 0 && d.current_job_id()!=52 && d.curse_name() == "" 3. Non Military, Non Noble, Not Injured && Not Cursed (Used to apply optimization plan to workers, I always enable hauling on them as well) !d.noble_position() && d.squad_id()<0 && d.current_job_id()!=52 && d.curse_name()=="" Military d.squad_id() >= 0 Noble & Non_military d.noble_position() && d.squad_id()<0

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.
