< div class = "section" id = "compatibility" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id7" > Compatibility< / a > < / h1 >
< p > DFHack works on Windows XP, Vista, 7, any modern Linux distribution, or OS X
10.6.8-10.9.< / p >
< p > Currently, version 0.40.08 is supported (and tested). If you need DFHack
for older versions, look for older releases.< / p >
< p > On Windows, you have to use the SDL version of DF.< / p >
< p > It is also possible to use the Windows DFHack with Wine under Linux and OS X.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "installation-removal" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id8" > Installation/Removal< / a > < / h1 >
< p > Installing DFhack involves copying files into your DF folder.
Copy the files from a release archive so that:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > On Windows, SDL.dll is replaced< / li >
< li > On Linux, the 'dfhack' script is placed in the same folder as the 'df' script< / li >
< / ul >
< p > Uninstalling is basically the same, in reverse:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > On Windows, first delete SDL.dll and rename SDLreal.dll to SDL.dll. Then
remove the other DFHack files< / li >
< li > On Linux, Remove the DFHack files.< / li >
< / ul >
< p > The stonesense plugin might require some additional libraries on Linux.< / p >
< p > If any of the plugins or dfhack itself refuses to load, check the stderr.log
file created in your DF folder.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "getting-started" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id9" > Getting started< / a > < / h2 >
< 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 >
< p > For more information, refer to the rest of this document.< / p >

< div class = "section" id = "using-dfhack" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id10" > Using DFHack< / a > < / h1 >
< 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 >
< div class = "section" id = "patched-binaries" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id11" > Patched binaries< / a > < / h2 >
< p > On linux and OSX, users of patched binaries may have to find the relevant
section in symbols.xml, and add a new line with the checksum of their
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 >
< dl class = "docutils" >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > binpatch check " Dwarf Fortress.exe" patch.dif< / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Checks and prints if the patch is currently applied.< / dd >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > binpatch apply " Dwarf Fortress.exe" patch.dif< / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Applies the patch, unless it is already applied or in conflict.< / dd >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > binpatch remove " Dwarf Fortress.exe" patch.dif< / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Removes the patch, unless it is already removed.< / dd >
< / dl >
< p > The patches are expected to be encoded in text format used by IDA.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "live-patching" >
< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id12" > Live patching< / a > < / h3 >
< p > As an alternative, you can use the < tt class = "docutils literal" > binpatch< / tt > dfhack command to apply/remove
patches live in memory during a DF session.< / p >
< p > In this case, updating symbols.xml is not necessary.< / p >
< / div >
< / div >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "something-doesn-t-work-help" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id13" > Something doesn't work, help!< / a > < / h1 >
< p > First, don't panic :) Second, dfhack keeps a few log files in DF's folder
- stderr.log and stdout.log. You can look at those and possibly find out what's
happening.

< div class = "section" id = "the-init-file" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id14" > The init file< / a > < / h1 >
< 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 > When a savegame is loaded, the < tt class = "docutils literal" > onLoad.init< / tt > file in its raw folder is run. It works the same way as < tt class = "docutils literal" > dfhack.init< / tt > . It is recommended that modders use this to improve mobility of save games.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "setting-keybindings" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id15" > Setting keybindings< / a > < / h2 >
< p > To set keybindings, use the built-in < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding< / tt > command. Like any other
command it can be used at any time from the console, but it is also meaningful
in the DFHack init file.< / p >
< p > Currently it supports any combination of Ctrl/Alt/Shift with F1-F9, or A-Z.< / p >
< p > Possible ways to call the command:< / p >
< dl class = "docutils" >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding list < key> < / tt > < / dt >
< dd > List bindings active for the key combination.< / dd >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding clear < key> < span class = "pre" > < key> ...< / span > < / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Remove bindings for the specified keys.< / dd >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding add < key> " cmdline" < span class = "pre" > " cmdline" ...< / span > < / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Add bindings for the specified key.< / dd >
< dt > < tt class = "docutils literal" > keybinding set < key> " cmdline" < span class = "pre" > " cmdline" ...< / span > < / tt > < / dt >
< dd > Clear, and then add bindings for the specified key.< / dd >
< / dl >
< p > The < em > < key> < / em > parameter above has the following < em > case-sensitive< / em > syntax:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
[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 > ,
< tt class = "docutils literal" > @ foo< / tt > or none.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "enabling-plugins" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id16" > Enabling plugins< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Many plugins can be in a distinct enabled or disabled state. Some of
them activate and deactivate automatically depending on the contents
of the world raws. Others store their state in world data. However a
number of them have to be enabled globally, and the init file is the
right place to do it.< / p >
< p > Most of such plugins support the built-in < tt class = "docutils literal" > enable< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > disable< / tt >
commands. Calling them at any time without arguments prints a list
of enabled and disabled plugins, and shows whether that can be changed
through the same commands.< / p >
< p > To enable or disable plugins that support this, use their names as
arguments for the command:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
enable manipulator search
< / pre >
< / div >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "commands" >
< h1 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id17" > Commands< / a > < / h1 >
< 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 >
2015-01-31 21:15:40 -07:00
< p > When reading commands from dfhack.init or with the < tt class = "docutils literal" > script< / tt > command, if the final character on a line is a backslash then the next uncommented line is considered a continuation of that line, with the backslash deleted.
Commented lines are skipped, so it is possible to comment out parts of a command with the < tt class = "docutils literal" > #< / tt > character.< / p >
2015-01-23 20:12:41 -07:00
< 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 >
< 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 >
< 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 >

< p > Can be used for painting map tiles and is an interactive command, much like
liquids.< / p >
< p > The tool works with two set of options and a brush. The brush determines which
tiles will be processed. First set of options is the filter, which can exclude
some of the tiles from the brush by looking at the tile properties. The second
set of options is the paint - this determines how the selected tiles are
changed.< / p >
< p > Both paint and filter can have many different properties including things like
general shape (WALL, FLOOR, etc.), general material (SOIL, STONE, MINERAL,
etc.), state of 'designated', 'hidden' and 'light' flags.< / p >
< p > The properties of filter and paint can be partially defined. This means that
you can for example do something like this:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
filter material STONE
filter shape FORTIFICATION
paint shape FLOOR
< / pre >
< p > This will turn all stone fortifications into floors, preserving the material.< / p >
< p > Or this:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
filter shape FLOOR
filter material MINERAL
paint shape WALL
< / pre >
< p > Turning mineral vein floors back into walls.< / p >
< p > The tool also allows tweaking some tile flags:< / p >
< p > Or this:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
paint hidden 1
paint hidden 0
< / pre >
< p > This will hide previously revealed tiles (or show hidden with the 0 option).< / p >
< p > More recently, the tool supports changing the base material of the tile to
an arbitrary stone from the raws, by creating new veins as required. Note
that this mode paints under ice and constructions, instead of overwriting
them. To enable, use:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
paint stone MICROCLINE
< / pre >
< p > This mode is incompatible with the regular < tt class = "docutils literal" > material< / tt > setting, so changing
it cancels the specific stone selection:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
paint material ANY
< / pre >
< p > Since different vein types have different drop rates, it is possible to choose
which one to use in painting:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
paint veintype CLUSTER_SMALL
< / pre >
< p > When the chosen type is < tt class = "docutils literal" > CLUSTER< / tt > (the default), the tool may automatically
choose to use layer stone or lava stone instead of veins if its material matches
the desired one.< / p >

potentially very dangerous - so use with care. Probably
(almost certainly) it does not have the same effects like
a proper burial. You've been warned.< / td >
< / 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 >

< ul class = "simple" >
< li > Combat ammo is stored in chests inside rooms with Squad Equipment enabled.< / li >
< li > 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.< / li >
< li > 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.< / li >

produce that kind of item are automatically suspended and resumed as the item
amount goes above or below the limit. The gap specifies how much below the limit

the frequency of jobs being toggled.< / p >

< 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 >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "usage-with-filters" >
< h4 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id120" > Usage with filters< / a > < / h4 >
< 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
ignored unless you specify 'merchant' (pitting them should be no problem,
but stealing and pasturing their animals is not a good idea since currently they
are not properly added to your own stocks; slaughtering them should work).< / p >
< p > Most filters can be negated (e.g. 'not grazer' -> race is not a grazer).< / p >

< div class = "section" id = "mass-renaming" >
< h4 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id121" > Mass-renaming< / a > < / h4 >
< p > Using the 'nick' command you can set the same nickname for multiple units.
If used without 'assign', 'all' or 'count' it will rename all units in the
current default target zone. Combined with 'assign', 'all' or 'count' (and
further optional filters) it will rename units matching the filter conditions.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "cage-zones" >
< h4 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id122" > Cage zones< / a > < / h4 >
< 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

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

Unrecognized characters are ignored (eg the 'skip this tile' in the sample).< / p >
< p > Empty lines and data after a < tt class = "docutils literal" > #< / tt > are ignored as comments.
To skip a row in your design, use a single < tt class = "docutils literal" > ;< / tt > .< / p >
< p > One comment in the file may contain the phrase < tt class = "docutils literal" > start(3,5)< / tt > . It is interpreted
as an offset for the pattern: instead of starting at the cursor, it will start

< p > These scripts are mostly useful for raw modders and scripters.

This is equivalent to < tt class = "docutils literal" > tool < span class = "pre" > -argName2< / span > argVal2 < span class = "pre" > -argName1< / span > argVal1< / tt > . It is not necessary to provide a value to an argument name: < tt class = "docutils literal" > tool < span class = "pre" > -argName3< / span > < / tt > is fine. Supplying the same argument name multiple times will result in an error. Argument names are preceded with a dash. The < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > -help< / span > < / tt > argument will print a descriptive usage string describing the nature of the arguments. For multiple word argument values, brackets must be used: < tt class = "docutils literal" > tool < span class = "pre" > -argName4< / span > [ sadf1 sadf2 sadf3 ]< / tt > . In order to allow passing literal braces as part of the argument, backslashes are used: < tt class = "docutils literal" > tool < span class = "pre" > -argName4< / span > [ \] asdf \foo ]< / tt > sets < tt class = "docutils literal" > argName4< / tt > to < tt class = "docutils literal" > \] asdf foo< / tt > .

< img alt = "images/manipulator.png" src = "images/manipulator.png" / >
< p > This tool implements a Dwarf Therapist-like interface within the game UI. The
far left column displays the unit's Happiness (color-coded based on its
value), Name, Profession/Squad, and the right half of the screen displays each
dwarf's labor settings and skill levels (0-9 for Dabbling thru Professional, A-E for
Great thru Grand Master, and U-Z for Legendary thru Legendary+5).< / p >

< p > Press Enter to toggle the selected labor for the selected unit, or Shift+Enter
to toggle all labors within the selected category.< / p >
< p > Press the < tt class = "docutils literal" > +-< / tt > keys to sort the unit list according to the currently selected

< div class = "section" id = "search" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id170" > Search< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Implemented by the 'search' plugin.< / p >
< p > The search plugin adds search to the Stocks, Animals, Trading, Stockpile,
Noble (assignment candidates), Military (position candidates), Burrows
(unit list), Rooms, Announcements, Job List and Unit List screens.< / p >
< img alt = "images/search.png" src = "images/search.png" / >
< p > Searching works the same way as the search option in " Move to Depot" does.
You will see the Search option displayed on screen with a hotkey (usually 's').
Pressing it lets you start typing a query and the relevant list will start
filtering automatically.< / p >
< p > Pressing ENTER, ESC or the arrow keys will return you to browsing the now
filtered list, which still functions as normal. You can clear the filter
by either going back into search mode and backspacing to delete it, or
pressing the " shifted" version of the search hotkey while browsing the
list (e.g. if the hotkey is 's', then hitting 'shift-s' will clear any
filter).< / p >
< p > Leaving any screen automatically clears the filter.< / p >
< p > In the Trade screen, the actual trade will always only act on items that
are actually visible in the list; the same effect applies to the Trade
Value numbers displayed by the screen. Because of this, the 't' key is
blocked while search is active, so you have to reset the filters first.
Pressing Alt-C will clear both search strings.< / p >
< p > In the stockpile screen the option only appears if the cursor is in the
rightmost list:< / p >
< img alt = "images/search-stockpile.png" src = "images/search-stockpile.png" / >
< p > Note that the 'Permit XXX'/'Forbid XXX' keys conveniently operate only
on items actually shown in the rightmost list, so it is possible to select
only fat or tallow by forbidding fats, then searching for fat/tallow, and
using Permit Fats again while the list is filtered.< / p >
< / div >
< div class = "section" id = "automaterial" >
< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id171" > AutoMaterial< / a > < / h2 >
< p > Implemented by the 'automaterial' plugin.< / p >
< p > This makes building constructions (walls, floors, fortifications, etc) a little bit
easier by saving you from having to trawl through long lists of materials each time
you place one.< / p >
< p > Firstly, it moves the last used material for a given construction type to the top of
the list, if there are any left. So if you build a wall with chalk blocks, the next
time you place a wall the chalk blocks will be at the top of the list, regardless of
distance (it only does this in " grouped" mode, as individual item lists could be huge).
This should mean you can place most constructions without having to search for your
preferred material type.< / p >
< img alt = "images/automaterial-mat.png" src = "images/automaterial-mat.png" / >
< p > Pressing 'a' while highlighting any material will enable that material for " auto select"
for this construction type. You can enable multiple materials as autoselect. Now the next
time you place this type of construction, the plugin will automatically choose materials
for you from the kinds you enabled. If there is enough to satisfy the whole placement,
you won't be prompted with the material screen - the construction will be placed and you
will be back in the construction menu as if you did it manually.< / p >
< p > When choosing the construction placement, you will see a couple of options:< / p >
< img alt = "images/automaterial-pos.png" src = "images/automaterial-pos.png" / >
< p > Use 'a' here to temporarily disable the material autoselection, e.g. if you need
to go to the material selection screen so you can toggle some materials on or off.< / p >
< p > The other option (auto type selection, off by default) can be toggled on with 't'. If you
toggle this option on, instead of returning you to the main construction menu after selecting
materials, it returns you back to this screen. If you use this along with several autoselect
enabled materials, you should be able to place complex constructions more conveniently.< / p >

< img alt = "images/workflow.png" src = "images/workflow.png" / >
< p > This script provides a simple interface to constraints managed by the workflow
plugin. When active, it displays a list of all constraints applicable to the
current job, and their current status.< / p >
< p > A constraint specifies a certain range to be compared against either individual
< em > item< / em > or whole < em > stack< / em > count, an item type and optionally a material. When the
current count is below the lower bound of the range, the job is resumed; if it
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 'I' switches the current constraint between counting stacks or items.
Pressing 'R' lets you input the range directly; 'e', 'r', 'd', 'f' adjust the
bounds by 5, 10, or 20 depending on the direction and the 'I' setting (counting
items and expanding the range each gives a 2x bonus).< / p >
< p > Pressing 'A' produces a list of possible outputs of this job as guessed by
workflow, and lets you create a new constraint by choosing one as template. 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 > ,
as described in < tt class = "docutils literal" > workflow< / tt > documentation above. In this manner, this feature
can be used for troubleshooting jobs that don't match the right constraints.< / p >
< img alt = "images/workflow-new1.png" src = "images/workflow-new1.png" / >
< p > If you select one of the outputs with Enter, the matching constraint is simply
added to the list. If you use Shift-Enter, the interface proceeds to the
next dialog, which allows you to edit the suggested constraint parameters to
suit your need, and set the item count range.< / p >

< img alt = "images/workflow-status.png" src = "images/workflow-status.png" / >
< p > This screen shows all currently existing workflow constraints, and allows
monitoring and/or changing them from one screen. The constraint list can
be filtered by typing text in the field below.< / p >
< p > The color of the stock level number indicates how " healthy" the stock level
is, based on current count and trend. Bright green is very good, green is good,
red is bad, bright red is very bad.< / p >
< p > The limit number is also color-coded. Red means that there are currently no
workshops producing that item (i.e. no jobs). If it's yellow, that means the
production has been delayed, possibly due to lack of input materials.< / p >
< p > The chart on the right is a plot of the last 14 days (28 half day plots) worth
of stock history for the selected item, with the rightmost point representing
the current stock value. The bright green dashed line is the target
limit (maximum) and the dark green line is that minus the gap (minimum).< / p >

< div class = "warning" >
< p class = "first admonition-title" > Warning< / p >
< p class = "last" > Due to the way input reagent matching works in DF, you must select an item type
if you select a material, or the material will be matched incorrectly in some cases.
If you press 'm' without choosing an item type, the script will auto-choose it
if there is only one valid choice, or pop up an error message box instead of the
material selection dialog.< / p >
< / div >
< p > Note that both materials and item types presented in the dialogs are filtered
by the job input flags, and even the selected item type for material selection,
or material for item type selection. Many jobs would let you select only one
input item type.< / p >
< p > For example, if you choose a < em > plant< / em > input item type for your prepare meal job,
it will only let you select cookable materials.< / p >
< p > If you choose a < em > barrel< / em > item instead (meaning things stored in barrels, like
drink or milk), it will let you select any material, since in this case the
material is matched against the barrel itself. Then, if you select, say, iron,
and then try to change the input item type, now it won't let you select < em > plant< / em > ;
you have to unset the material first.< / p >

four directions. Also, catapults can be ordered to load arbitrary objects, not
just stones.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "rationale" >
< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id194" > Rationale< / a > < / h3 >
< p > Siege engines are a very interesting feature, but sadly almost useless in the current state
because they haven't been updated since 2D and can only aim in four directions. This is an
attempt to bring them more up to date until Toady has time to work on it. Actual improvements,
e.g. like making siegers bring their own, are something only Toady can do.< / p >

< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id195" > Configuration UI< / a > < / h3 >
< p > The configuration front-end to the plugin is implemented by the gui/siege-engine
script. Bind it to a key (the example config uses Alt-A) and activate after selecting
a siege engine in 'q' mode.< / p >
< img alt = "images/siege-engine.png" src = "images/siege-engine.png" / >
< p > The main mode displays the current target, selected ammo item type, linked stockpiles and
the allowed operator skill range. The map tile color is changed to signify if it can be
hit by the selected engine: green for fully reachable, blue for out of range, red for blocked,
yellow for partially blocked.< / p >
< p > Pressing 'r' changes into the target selection mode, which works by highlighting two points
with Enter like all designations. When a target area is set, the engine projectiles are
aimed at that area, or units within it (this doesn't actually change the original aiming
code, instead the projectile trajectory parameters are rewritten as soon as it appears).< / p >
< p > After setting the target in this way for one engine, you can 'paste' the same area into others
just by pressing 'p' in the main page of this script. The area to paste is kept until you quit
DF, or select another area manually.< / p >
< p > Pressing 't' switches to a mode for selecting a stockpile to take ammo from.< / p >
< p > Exiting from the siege engine script via ESC reverts the view to the state prior to starting
the script. Shift-ESC retains the current viewport, and also exits from the 'q' mode to main

< h2 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id197" > Steam Engine< / a > < / h2 >
< p > The steam-engine plugin detects custom workshops with STEAM_ENGINE in
their token, and turns them into real steam engines.< / p >
< div class = "section" id = "id4" >
< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id198" > Rationale< / a > < / h3 >
< 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 >

< div class = "admonition-issue admonition" >
< p class = "first admonition-title" > ISSUE< / 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.

< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id200" > Operation< / a > < / h3 >
< 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 >

< div class = "section" id = "explosions" >
< h3 > < a class = "toc-backref" href = "#id201" > Explosions< / a > < / h3 >
< 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

< 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 >
