Since the top couple of layers are sand, anyway, he'll have plenty of time to level up in his actual trade skill. Ideally, he ought to be proficient in Persuader, but then I thought to myself, "No, that's going too far."

−
'''stripcaged''' For dumping items inside cages. Will mark selected items for dumping, then a dwarf may come and actually dump it. See also '''autodump.'''
+
I figure this is somebody's kid brother. Maybe I'll call him Junior.

'''ban-cooking'''
+
Which should leave us enough for nearly 40 cats! If we end up with anything left over, we can spend it on cat leather, cat meat, or seeds.
  
−
A more convenient way to ban cooking various categories of foods than the kitchen interface. Usage: ban-cooking <type>. Valid types are ''booze, honey, tallow, oil, seeds'' (non-tree plants with seeds), ''brew, fruit, mill, thread, and milk.''
+
New Version: 2 muskox, 2 cows instead of cats for a more generally carnivorous society.

==1st Granite, 201. Early Spring==
  
−
'''colonies [bees]'''  :  Allows listing all the vermin colonies on the map and optionally turning them into honey bee colonies.
+
We have arrived. The site is a gently sloped dune surrounded by forest, with no flowing water (at least, not above-ground). What is visible, to our dismay, is the demon-infested mouth of a volcano, on the southwest side of the dune. A few murky pools shall be our only source of water, so I note that I must build some kind of cistern system for catching as much rainfall as we can from the pitiful supplies available.  
  
−
'''tidlers''' : Toggle between all possible positions where the idlers count can be placed.
+
Thankfully, our menagerie has arrived in good health. I will, I suppose, need to find somewhere to store them besides the barracks.
  
−
'''deathcause''' Focus a body part ingame, and this script will display the cause of death of the creature. Also works when selecting units from the 'u'nitlist viewscreen.
+
==18th Felsite, 201, Late Spring==
  
−
'''dfstatus''' Show a quick overview of critical stock quantities, including food, dirnks, wood, and various bars.
+
I've had to curtail the zeal of Uvash Zonibmat, our outdoorsdwarf. It seems he felt that the best way to ensure the success of our fortress was to perform animal sacrifices. First, he hunted down a unicorn, only to leave the bloody carcass on our doorstep when he realized that we didn't have so much as a statue of Akil, much less a temple. As Akil is the god of volcanos, he decided to hunt down one of the imps and slay it while screaming "Blood and Souls!"
  
−
'''showmood'''  Shows all items needed for the currently active strange mood.
+
I certainly appreciate his piety, but I would prefer him to wait until we've at least dug deep enough to find some stone to replace the wooden door that is our only protection currently.
  
−
'''drybuckets''' This utility removes water from all buckets in your fortress, allowing them to be safely used for making lye.
+
Also, the well construction will have to be delayed until the next caravan. One of our war dogs has taken to wearing the one piece of rope we brought with us, and none of the pig tails will be even planted until next season.

== stockpile settings management ==
 
−
 
 
−
Save and load stockpile settings. See the gui/stockpiles for an in-game GUI to this plugin.
 
−
 
 
−
== Stockpile code ==
 
−
 
 
−
'''copystock'''
 
−
 
 
−
Copies the parameters of the currently highlighted stockpile to the custom stockpile settings and switches to custom stockpile placement mode, effectively allowing you to copy/paste stockpiles easily.
 
−
 
 
−
'''savestock'''
 
−
 
 
−
Saves the currently highlighted stockpile's settings to a file in your Dwarf Fortress folder. This file can be used to copy settings between game saves or players.
 
−
 
 
−
example:
 
−
 
 
−
'''` savestock food_settings.dfstock `'''
 
−
 
 
−
'''loadstock'''
 
−
 
 
−
Loads a saved stockpile settings file and applies it to the currently selected stockpile.
 
−
 
 
−
example:
 
−
 
 
−
'''` loadstock food_settings.dfstock `'''
 
−
 
 
−
To use savestock and loadstock, use the 'q' command to highlight a stockpile. Then run savestock giving it a descriptive filename. Then, in a different (or same!) gameworld, you can highlight any stockpile with 'q' then execute the 'loadstock' command passing it the name of that file. The settings will be applied to that stockpile.
 
−
 
 
−
Notes: It saves and loads files relative to the DF folder, so put your files there or in a subfolder for easy access. Filenames should not have spaces.
 
−
 
 
−
Limitations: Generated materials, divine metals, etc are not saved as they are different in every world.
 
−
 
 
−
== Dig ==
 
−
 
 
−
digcircle
 
−
 
 
−
A command for easy designation of filled and hollow circles. It has several types of options.
 
−
 
 
−
Shape:
 
−
 
 
−
hollow: Set the circle to hollow (default)
 
−
filled: Set the circle to filled
 
−
#: Diameter in tiles (default = 0, does nothing)
 
−
Action:
 
−
 
 
−
set: Set designation (default)
 
−
unset: Unset current designation
 
−
invert: Invert designations already present
 
−
Designation types:
 
−
 
 
−
dig: Normal digging designation (default)
 
−
ramp: Ramp digging
 
−
ustair: Staircase up
 
−
dstair: Staircase down
 
−
xstair: Staircase up/down
 
−
chan: Dig channel
 
−
After you have set the options, the command called with no options repeats with the last selected parameters.
 
−
 
 
−
Examples:
 
−
 
 
−
'digcircle filled 3' = Dig a filled circle with radius = 3.
 
−
'digcircle' = Do it again.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
== Autodump ==
 
−
 
 
−
autodump
 
−
 
 
−
This utility lets you quickly move all items designated to be dumped. Items are instantly moved to the cursor position, the dump flag is unset, and the forbid flag is set, as if it had been dumped normally. Be aware that any active dump item tasks still point at the item.
 
−
 
 
−
Cursor must be placed on a floor tile so the items can be dumped there.
 
−
 
 
−
Options:
 
−
 
 
−
destroy: Destroy instead of dumping. Doesn't require a cursor.
 
−
destroy-here: Destroy items only under the cursor.
 
−
visible: Only process items that are not hidden.
 
−
hidden: Only process hidden items.
 
−
forbidden: Only process forbidden items (default: only unforbidden).
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
== Barracks Tools ==
 
−
fix-armory
 
−
 
 
−
Enables a fix for storage of squad equipment in barracks.
 
−
 
 
−
Specifically, it prevents your haulers from moving squad equipment to stockpiles, and instead queues jobs to store it on weapon racks, armor stands, and in containers.
 
−
 
 
−
Note
 
−
 
 
−
In order to actually be used, weapon racks have to be patched and manually assigned to a squad. See documentation for gui/assign-rack below.
 
−
 
 
−
Also, the default capacity of armor stands is way too low, so you may want to also apply the armorstand-capacity patch. Check out http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1445 for more information about the bugs.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that the buildings in the armory are used as follows:
 
−
 
 
−
Weapon racks (when patched) are used to store any assigned weapons. Each rack belongs to a specific squad, and can store up to 5 weapons.
 
−
Armor stands belong to specific squad members and are used for armor and shields. By default one stand can store one item of each type (hence one boot or gauntlet); if patched, the limit is raised to 2, which should be sufficient.
 
−
Cabinets are used to store assigned clothing for a specific squad member. They are never used to store owned clothing.
 
−
Chests (boxes, etc) are used for a flask, backpack or quiver assigned to the squad member. Due to a probable bug, food is dropped out of the backpack when it is stored.
 
−
Warning
 
−
 
 
−
Although armor stands, cabinets and chests properly belong only to one squad member, the owner of the building used to create the barracks will randomly use any containers inside the room. Thus, it is recommended to always create the armory from a weapon rack.
 
−
 
 
−
Contrary to the common misconception, all these uses are controlled by the Individual Equipment usage flag. The Squad Equipment flag is actually intended for ammo, but the game does even less in that area than for armor and weapons. This plugin implements the following rules almost from scratch:
 
−
 
 
−
Combat ammo is stored in chests inside rooms with Squad Equipment enabled.
 
−
If a chest is assigned to a squad member due to Individual Equipment also being set, it is only used for that squad's ammo; otherwise, any squads with Squad Equipment on the room will use all of the chests at random.
 
−
Training ammo is stored in chests inside archery ranges designated from archery targets, and controlled by the same Train flag as archery training itself. This is inspired by some defunct code for weapon racks.

== Make Quickfort files ==
 
−
 
 
−
blueprint
 
−
 
 
−
Exports a portion of your fortress into QuickFort style blueprint files.:
 
−
 
 
−

−
Options:
 
−
 
 
−
x,y,z: Size of map area to export

−
query: Export query commands to "<name>-query.csv"
 
−
If only region and name are given, all exports are performed.

−
 
 
−
> The final trick is to increase the number of volcanoes, increasing the odds that you'll find one in a good position. The Minimum Volcano Number will vary based on map size. On a medium map, I usually set it to 35.
