Community Mod List

A more complete list of mods (compared to this one) on the Bay 12 forum. The list includes updated links to a multitude of mods, utilities and modding utilities. All featured mods are catered for version 40.01 and up, though some of them might be outdated, and not work with the current version. There also exists links to threads of similar function for the older versions.

The list does not, however, encompass all up-to-date mods published on the forum, for that one has to search through the Mod Releases board, or even the Dwarf Fortress File Depot, the site where nigh all uploaded mods are stored.

The Long Night

Current version: 2.85 (SEP 2021) for DF Version 0.47.05

Description:

Author: squamous
Type: Total Conversion
Summary: A total conversion mod set in a distant and ruinous future. What remains of Earth is stalked by cybernetic horrors and nanotech monsters. In Man's Fall, many races have rushed to fill the void left by a civilization that once ruled the solar system. New races uplifted from a chosen few breeds of animal, gene-altered humans, hereditary cyborgs, colonist refugees, and vestigial AIs find themselves in a variety of factions vying for control of the stricken wasteland that was once a world.

This mod is an experiment by it's author, squamous, to see just how far DF can be pushed into the sci-fi genre. It contains many new materials, weapons, armors, and wildlife.
