Howdy, here is my page :)

I've never done any wiki work before and figured I might be able to add to this group of dwarf lovers :P

I'm going to add stuff here until I figure out where to put them.

Rick's Tweak Uses

I really like Rick's Tweak util and use it to mess with my dwarves while I'm bored.

Tileedit

Add a Chasm

On the General tab, change Type to 23 00 then click OK to write this tile information to Dwarf Fortress.

If done on the lowest z-level, it will act like any normal chasm minus the creatures.

If done on any other level, the chasm still acts like a chasm and destroys anything that enters it. But, it also does some unknown things to the tiles below it: I changed a tile in the middle of a river and all the tiles below it showed as outside, I also changed a tile in the middle of my fort (with rooms below and above the tile) and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

actually I just tried it this time with a river right above the fort and the river flooded the fort... so it could be just like a channel but destroys objects if they pass to the last floor.

A quick fix to an accidental flood could be to make a temporary chasm at the lowest point of the flood to clean up the unwanted water faster. You'd also want to block the source, but you don't need a chasm for that.

Add a Waterfall

On the General tab, change Type to 59 00 then click OK to write this tile information to Dwarf Fortress.

This can be done anywhere, and produces a nice amount of mist along with the magical production of free water.

Other Things

I've tried and failed at making a river that flows from nowhere--which is how I came to make the waterfall.

I still don't know what the unknown flag (27) in the Designation tab is for--some of the waterfalls I found had that flag yet lost it when I copied all the info into a new tile.
