tools that use it. Tools come in the form of plugins or (not yet)

< p > If DFHack is installed correctly, it will automatically pop up a console
window once DF is started as usual on windows. Linux and Mac OS X require
running the dfhack script from the terminal, and will use that terminal for
the console.< / p >
< p > < strong > NOTE< / strong > : The dfhack-run executable is there for calling DFHack commands in
an already running DF+DFHack instance from external OS scripts and programs,
and is < em > not< / em > the way how you use DFHack normally.< / p >
< p > DFHack has a lot of features, which can be accessed by typing commands in the
console, or by mapping them to keyboard shortcuts. Most of the newer and more
user-friendly tools are designed to be at least partially used via the latter
way.< / p >
< p > In order to set keybindings, you have to create a text configuration file
called < tt class = "docutils literal" > dfhack.init< / tt > ; the installation comes with an example version called
< tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > dfhack.init-example< / span > < / tt > , which is fully functional, covers all of the recent
features and can be simply renamed to < tt class = "docutils literal" > dfhack.init< / tt > . You are encouraged to look
through it to learn which features it makes available under which key combinations.< / p >

2012-09-29 22:44:00 -06:00
< p > DFHack basically extends what DF can do with something similar to the drop-down
console found in Quake engine games. On Windows, this is a separate command line
window. On linux, the terminal used to launch the dfhack script is taken over
(so, make sure you start from a terminal). Basic interaction with dfhack
involves entering commands into the console. For some basic instroduction,
use the 'help' command. To list all possible commands, use the 'ls' command.
Many commands have their own help or detailed description. You can use
'command help' or 'command ?' to show that.< / p >
< p > The command line has some nice line editing capabilities, including history
that's preserved between different runs of DF (use up/down keys to go through
the history).< / p >
< p > The second way to interact with DFHack is to bind the available commands
to in-game hotkeys. The old way to do this is via the hotkey/zoom menu (normally
opened with the 'h' key). Binding the commands is done by assigning a command as
a hotkey name (with 'n').< / p >
< p > A new and more flexible way is the keybinding command in the dfhack console.
However, bindings created this way are not automatically remembered between runs
of the game, so it becomes necessary to use the dfhack.init file to ensure that
they are re-created every time it is loaded.< / p >
< p > Interactive commands like 'liquids' cannot be used as hotkeys.< / p >
< p > Most of the commands come from plugins. Those reside in 'hack/plugins/'.< / p >

executable:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
< md5-hash value='????????????????????????????????'/>
< / pre >
< p > In order to find the correct value of the hash, look into stderr.log;
DFHack prints an error there if it does not recognize the hash.< / p >
< p > DFHack includes a small stand-alone utility for applying and removing
binary patches from the game executable. Use it from the regular operating
system console:< / p >
< blockquote >

< p > If your DF folder contains a file named < tt class = "docutils literal" > dfhack.init< / tt > , its contents will be run
every time you start DF. This allows setting up keybindings. An example file
is provided as < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > dfhack.init-example< / span > < / tt > - you can tweak it and rename to dfhack.init
if you want to use this functionality.< / p >

< p > To set keybindings, use the built-in < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding< / tt > command. Like any other

[Ctrl-][Alt-][Shift-]KEY[@ context]
< / pre >
< p > where the < em > KEY< / em > part can be F1-F9 or A-Z, and [] denote optional parts.< / p >
< p > When multiple commands are bound to the same key combination, DFHack selects
the first applicable one. Later 'add' commands, and earlier entries within one
'add' command have priority. Commands that are not specifically intended for use
as a hotkey are always considered applicable.< / p >
< p > The < em > context< / em > part in the key specifier above can be used to explicitly restrict
the UI state where the binding would be applicable. If called without parameters,
the < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding< / tt > command among other things prints the current context string.
Only bindings with a < em > context< / em > tag that either matches the current context fully,
or is a prefix ending at a '/' boundary would be considered for execution, i.e.
for context < tt class = "docutils literal" > foo/bar/baz< / tt > , possible matches are any of < tt class = "docutils literal" > @ foo/bar/baz< / tt > , < tt class = "docutils literal" > @ foo/bar< / tt > ,

< p > DFHack command syntax consists of a command name, followed by arguments separated
by whitespace. To include whitespace in an argument, quote it in double quotes.
To include a double quote character, use < tt class = "docutils literal" > \" < / tt > inside double quotes.< / p >
< p > If the first non-whitespace character of a line is < tt class = "docutils literal" > #< / tt > , the line is treated
as a comment, i.e. a silent no-op command.< / p >
< p > If the first non-whitespace character is < tt class = "docutils literal" > :< / tt > , the command is parsed in a special
alternative mode: first, non-whitespace characters immediately following the < tt class = "docutils literal" > :< / tt >
are used as the command name; the remaining part of the line, starting with the first
non-whitespace character < em > after< / em > the command name, is used verbatim as the first argument.
The following two command lines are exactly equivalent:< / p >
< blockquote >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > :foo a b " c d" e f< / tt > < / li >
< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > foo " a b \" c d\" e f" < / tt > < / li >
< / ul >
< / blockquote >
< p > This is intended for commands like < tt class = "docutils literal" > rb_eval< / tt > that evaluate script language statements.< / p >
< p > Almost all the commands support using the 'help < command-name> ' built-in command
to retrieve further help without having to look at this document. Alternatively,
some accept a 'help'/'?' option on their command line.< / p >

By default changing stone to soil and vice versa is not allowed. By default
changes only the layer at the cursor position. Note that one layer can stretch
across lots of z levels. By default changes only the geology which is linked
to the biome under the cursor. That geology might be linked to other biomes
as well, though. Mineral veins and gem clusters will stay on the map. Use
'changevein' for them.< / p >

If that doesn't help try temporarily changing some other layer, undo your
changes and try again for the layer you want to change. Saving

(almost certainly) it does not have the same effects like

< / tr >
< tr class = "field" > < th class = "field-name" > fixmigrant:< / th > < td class = "field-body" > Remove the resident/merchant flag from the selected unit.
Intended to fix bugged migrants/traders who stay at the
map edge and don't enter your fort. Only works for
dwarves (or generally the player's race in modded games).
Do NOT abuse this for 'real' caravan merchants (if you
really want to kidnap them, use 'tweak makeown' instead,
otherwise they will have their clothes set to forbidden etc).< / td >
< / tr >
< tr class = "field" > < th class = "field-name" > makeown:< / th > < td class = "field-body" > Force selected unit to become a member of your fort.
Can be abused to grab caravan merchants and escorts, even if
they don't belong to the player's race. Foreign sentients
(humans, elves) can be put to work, but you can't assign rooms
to them and they don't show up in DwarfTherapist because the
game treats them like pets. Grabbing draft animals from
a caravan can result in weirdness (animals go insane or berserk
and are not flagged as tame), but you are allowed to mark them
for slaughter. Grabbing wagons results in some funny spam, then
they are scuttled.< / td >

< p > One convenient way to use the zone tool is to bind the command 'zone assign' to
a hotkey, maybe also the command 'zone set'. Place the in-game cursor over
a pen/pasture or pit, use 'zone set' to mark it. Then you can select units
on the map (in 'v' or 'k' mode), in the unit list or from inside cages
and use 'zone assign' to assign them to their new home. Allows pitting your
own dwarves, by the way.< / p >

< p > All filters can be used together with the 'assign' command.< / p >
< p > Restrictions: It's not possible to assign units who are inside built cages
or chained because in most cases that won't be desirable anyways.
It's not possible to cage owned pets because in that case the owner
uncages them after a while which results in infinite hauling back and forth.< / p >
< p > Usually you should always use the filter 'own' (which implies tame) unless you
want to use the zone tool for pitting hostiles. 'own' ignores own dwarves unless
you specify 'race DWARF' (so it's safe to use 'assign all own' to one big
pasture if you want to have all your animals at the same place). 'egglayer' and
'milkable' should be used together with 'female' unless you have a mod with
egg-laying male elves who give milk or whatever. Merchants and their animals are

If used without 'assign', 'all' or 'count' it will rename all units in the

further optional filters) it will rename units matching the filter conditions.< / p >

< p > Using the 'tocages' command you can assign units to a set of cages, for example
a room next to your butcher shop(s). They will be spread evenly among available
cages to optimize hauling to and butchering from them. For this to work you need
to build cages and then place one pen/pasture activity zone above them, covering
all cages you want to use. Then use 'zone set' (like with 'assign') and use
'zone tocages filter1 filter2 ...'. 'tocages' overwrites 'assign' because it
would make no sense, but can be used together with 'nick' or 'remnick' and all
the usual filters.< / p >

< p > Assigns unpastured female egg-layers to nestbox zones. Requires that you create
pen/pasture zones above nestboxes. If the pen is bigger than 1x1 the nestbox
must be in the top left corner. Only 1 unit will be assigned per pen, regardless
of the size. The age of the units is currently not checked, most birds grow up
quite fast. Egglayers who are also grazers will be ignored, since confining them
to a 1x1 pasture is not a good idea. Only tame and domesticated own units are
processed since pasturing half-trained wild egglayers could destroy your neat
nestbox zones when they revert to wild. When called without options autonestbox
will instantly run once.< / p >

< p > A constraint specifies a certain range to be compared against either individual

is above or equal to the top bound, it will be suspended. Within the range, the
specific constraint has no effect on the job; others may still affect it.< / p >
< p > Pressing 'c' switches the current constraint between counting stacks or items.
Pressing 'm' lets you input the range directly; 'e', 'r', 'd', 'f' adjust the
bounds by 1, 5, or 25 depending on the direction and the 'c' setting (counting
items and expanding the range each gives a 5x bonus).< / p >
< p > Pressing 'n' produces a list of possible outputs of this job as guessed by
workflow, and lets you create a new constraint by just choosing one. If you
don't see the choice you want in the list, it likely means you have to adjust
the job material first using < tt class = "docutils literal" > job < span class = "pre" > item-material< / span > < / tt > or < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > gui/workshop-job< / span > < / tt > ,

< p > The power-meter plugin implements a modified pressure plate that detects power being
supplied to gear boxes built in the four adjacent N/S/W/E tiles.< / p >
< p > The configuration front-end is implemented by the gui/power-meter script. Bind it to a
key and activate after selecting Pressure Plate in the build menu.< / p >
< p > The script follows the general look and feel of the regular pressure plate build
configuration page, but configures parameters relevant to the modded power meter building.< / p >

< p > The vanilla game contains only water wheels and windmills as sources of
power, but windmills give relatively little power, and water wheels require
flowing water, which must either be a real river and thus immovable and
limited in supply, or actually flowing and thus laggy.< / p >
< p > Steam engines are an alternative to water reactors that actually makes
sense, and hopefully doesn't lag. Also, unlike e.g. animal treadmills,
it can be done just by combining existing features of the game engine
in a new way with some glue code and a bit of custom logic.< / p >

< p > The workshop needs water as its input, which it takes via a
passable floor tile below it, like usual magma workshops do.
The magma version also needs magma.< / p >

< p class = "last" > Since this building is a machine, and machine collapse
code cannot be hooked, it would collapse over true open space.
As a loophole, down stair provides support to machines, while
being passable, so use them.< / p >
< / div >
< p > After constructing the building itself, machines can be connected
to the edge tiles that look like gear boxes. Their exact position
is extracted from the workshop raws.< / p >

< p class = "last" > Like with collapse above, part of the code involved in
machine connection cannot be hooked. As a result, the workshop
can only immediately connect to machine components built AFTER it.
This also means that engines cannot be chained without intermediate
short axles that can be built later than both of the engines.< / p >

< p > In order to operate the engine, queue the Stoke Boiler job (optionally
on repeat). A furnace operator will come, possibly bringing a bar of fuel,
and perform it. As a result, a " boiling water" item will appear
in the 't' view of the workshop.< / p >
< div class = "note" >
< p class = "first admonition-title" > Note< / p >
< p class = "last" > The completion of the job will actually consume one unit
of the appropriate liquids from below the workshop. This means
that you cannot just raise 7 units of magma with a piston and
have infinite power. However, liquid consumption should be slow
enough that water can be supplied by a pond zone bucket chain.< / p >
< / div >
< p > Every such item gives 100 power, up to a limit of 300 for coal,
and 500 for a magma engine. The building can host twice that
amount of items to provide longer autonomous running. When the
boiler gets filled to capacity, all queued jobs are suspended;
once it drops back to 3+1 or 5+1 items, they are re-enabled.< / p >
< p > While the engine is providing power, steam is being consumed.
The consumption speed includes a fixed 10% waste rate, and
the remaining 90% are applied proportionally to the actual
load in the machine. With the engine at nominal 300 power with
150 load in the system, it will consume steam for actual
300*(10% + 90%*150/300) = 165 power.< / p >
< p > Masterpiece mechanism and chain will decrease the mechanical
power drawn by the engine itself from 10 to 5. Masterpiece
barrel decreases waste rate by 4%. Masterpiece piston and pipe
decrease it by further 4%, and also decrease the whole steam
use rate by 10%.< / p >

< p > The engine must be constructed using barrel, pipe and piston
from fire-safe, or in the magma version magma-safe metals.< / p >
< p > During operation weak parts get gradually worn out, and
eventually the engine explodes. It should also explode if
toppled during operation by a building destroyer, or a
tantruming dwarf.< / p >

< p > It should be safe to load and view engine-using fortresses
from a DF version without DFHack installed, except that in such
case the engines won't work. However actually making modifications
to them, or machines they connect to (including by pulling levers),
can easily result in inconsistent state once this plugin is
available again. The effects may be as weird as negative power
being generated.< / p >
