The d_init.txt file can be used to make many adjustments to the game's behavior, such as enabling autosave or changing the population limit, as well as some technical tricks to improve framerate by deactivating features like weather and temperature.

This file is located at <Dwarf Fortress>/prefs/d_init.txt. Changes made to this file take effect the next time the game is loaded, and apply to all worlds. The file can be edited manually or manipulated by an external launcher such as the Lazy Newb Pack.

The contents of the default d_init.txt file can be found below:
