This article is about procedural raw generation. Information on Utility:DFHack scripting can be found at https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/.
Lua scripting is an upcoming feature. It is used to create custom procedurally-generated objects that were previously created by hardcoded methods. It was announced in a video, with the stated goal of "supporting future magical endeavors."
Inorganic materials, languages, creatures, interactions, items (currently excluding instruments), reactions, entities, and plants are open to this system.
