How to use?

Modules

Artistic

Circle Pack

Note: If using dfhack, it is easier to use the 'digcircle' command rather than these blueprints. Simply type 'digcircle XX filled' for a circle with a diameter of XX. Hint: odd numbered diameters work/look best.

Bedrooms

Examples

Fractals

Hallways

Hive

Industry

A collection of designs for your industry level. Some of these blueprints hold multiple designs while not being multi z-level.

Mining

Implementations of various approaches from the Exploratory mining page. An updated version of the blueprints in this module are distributed with the current version of Quickfort. It's advised to use these, especially with v50.

Compatibility Issue the exploratory-mining-50x50 files us deprecated syntax.

Moria

Moria is a huge implementation of the legendary dwarven stronghold from the Tolkien lore. The design is based on the original map of Moria. A full version requires a 12 x 7 embark. A cropped version for a 5 x 5 embark is included.

Various additional images help to explain and preview the blueprints. An extensive read me covers the pack in detail.

Mini Moria

This is a Community Pack specific distribution of Moria for a 4 x 4 embark. Not all files come bundled with the Community Blueprints. See the general Moria readme.txt for details.

Patterned

A collection of four intricate pattered designs for bedrooms, tombs, workshops etc.

PumpStacks

Offers three different sets of pump stacks. A well documented implementation of pumpstacks comes with the Quickfort blueprint library.

Compatibility Issue One of the two meeker sets is currently distributed as .txt

Stairs

Various takes and implementations of spiral staircases as multi z-level blueprints.

taodih

A set of ramp staircases based on designs by a Bay12 forums user of the same name. Intended to raise the FPS through being [Ramp#Ramps_versus_stairways slightly faster than stairs].

TheQuickFortress

Buketgeshud, The Quick Fortress, is a set of blueprints designed as a case study for Quickfort. The files assemble to a fort with a 30x20 tile footprint revolving around a central staircase. Blueprints can be repeated in any direction to connect in a modular fashion. The readme.txt gives detailed instructions how to set up Buketgeshud.

Compatibility Issue Due to using the deprecated query syntax, not all blueprints are compatible with v50

Tombs

Holds a single blueprint that gives you a stunning 500 tombs

worldgen

This is the only part of the pack that is not a Quickfort blueprint. It contains a .txt file with worldgen settings.

History

The first (?) known version of the Community Blueprints were collected by andrewx8 and distributed through mediafire in August 2012. They where prominently mentioned in the release notice to Quickfort 2.04 later the same month. In 2014 spfifle releasd a new and improved version of the Pack called v2. Duplicate entries got deleted and blueprints thematically sorted. The updated bundle further added blueprints in .png and .bmp format to support now obsolete image designators like ChromaFort and Picturefort. The images further allow for a quick visualization of the blueprints.

With Version 2.1 the pack became a part of became Linux LNP (Lazy Newb Pack) now maintained by PeridexisErrant. In 2015 the Community Blueprints been uploaded to GitHub as part of the core LNP distribution. Modifying a few files in the process and creating Version 2.3. the Community Blueprints stayed a part of the different incarnations of LNPs across all platforms. Up to the time of DF 47.05.
