Designations
============
burrow
------
Miscellaneous burrow control. Allows manipulating burrows and automated burrow
expansion while digging.
Options:
:enable feature ...:
Enable features of the plugin.
:disable feature ...:
Disable features of the plugin.
:clear-unit burrow burrow ...:
Remove all units from the burrows.
:clear-tiles burrow burrow ...:
Remove all tiles from the burrows.
:set-units target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Clear target, and adds units from source burrows.
:add-units target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Add units from the source burrows to the target.
:remove-units target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Remove units in source burrows from the target.
:set-tiles target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Clear target and adds tiles from the source burrows.
:add-tiles target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Add tiles from the source burrows to the target.
:remove-tiles target-burrow src-burrow ...:
Remove tiles in source burrows from the target.
For these three options, in place of a source burrow it is
possible to use one of the following keywords: ABOVE_GROUND,
SUBTERRANEAN, INSIDE, OUTSIDE, LIGHT, DARK, HIDDEN, REVEALED
Features:
:auto-grow: When a wall inside a burrow with a name ending in '+' is dug
out, the burrow is extended to newly-revealed adjacent walls.
This final '+' may be omitted in burrow name args of commands above.
Digging 1-wide corridors with the miner inside the burrow is SLOW.
dig
---
This plugin makes many automated or complicated dig patterns easy.
Basic commands:
:digv: Designate all of the selected vein for digging.
:digvx: Also cross z-levels, digging stairs as needed. Alias for ``digv x``.
:digl: Like ``digv``, for layer stone. Also supports an ``undo`` option
to remove designations, for if you accidentally set 50 levels at once.
:diglx: Also cross z-levels, digging stairs as needed. Alias for ``digl x``.
digexp
~~~~~~
This command is for :wiki:`exploratory mining <Exploratory_mining>`.
There are two variables that can be set: pattern and filter.
Patterns:
:diag5: diagonals separated by 5 tiles
:diag5r: diag5 rotated 90 degrees
:ladder: A 'ladder' pattern
:ladderr: ladder rotated 90 degrees
:clear: Just remove all dig designations
:cross: A cross, exactly in the middle of the map.
Filters:
:all: designate whole z-level
:hidden: designate only hidden tiles of z-level (default)
:designated: Take current designation and apply pattern to it.
After you have a pattern set, you can use ``expdig`` to apply it again.
Examples:
``expdig diag5 hidden``
Designate the diagonal 5 patter over all hidden tiles
``expdig``
Apply last used pattern and filter
``expdig ladder designated``
Take current designations and replace them with the ladder pattern
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 diameter = 3.
``digcircle``
Do it again.
digtype
~~~~~~~
For every tile on the map of the same vein type as the selected tile,
this command designates it to have the same designation as the
selected tile. If the selected tile has no designation, they will be
dig designated.
If an argument is given, the designation of the selected tile is
ignored, and all appropriate tiles are set to the specified
designation.
Options:
:dig:
:channel:
:ramp:
:updown: up/down stairs
:up: up stairs
:down: down stairs
:clear: clear designation
digFlood
--------
Automatically digs out specified veins as they are discovered. It runs once
every time a dwarf finishes a dig job. It will only dig out appropriate tiles
that are adjacent to the finished dig job. To add a vein type, use ``digFlood 1 [type]``.
This will also enable the plugin. To remove a vein type, use ``digFlood 0 [type] 1``
to disable, then remove, then re-enable.
Usage:
:help digflood: detailed help message
:digFlood 0: disable the plugin
:digFlood 1: enable the plugin
:digFlood 0 MICROCLINE COAL_BITUMINOUS 1:
disable plugin, remove microcline and bituminous coal from monitoring, then re-enable the plugin
:digFlood CLEAR: remove all inorganics from monitoring
:digFlood digAll1: ignore the monitor list and dig any vein
:digFlood digAll0: disable digAll mode
filltraffic
-----------
Set traffic designations using flood-fill starting at the cursor.
Traffic Type Codes:
:H: High Traffic
:N: Normal Traffic
:L: Low Traffic
:R: Restricted Traffic
Other Options:
:X: Fill across z-levels.
:B: Include buildings and stockpiles.
:P: Include empty space.
Example:
``filltraffic H``
When used in a room with doors, it will set traffic to HIGH in just that room.
alltraffic
----------
Set traffic designations for every single tile of the map (useful for resetting traffic designations).
Traffic Type Codes:
:H: High Traffic
:N: Normal Traffic
:L: Low Traffic
:R: Restricted Traffic
Example:
``alltraffic N``
Set traffic to 'normal' for all tiles.
restrictliquid
--------------
Restrict traffic on all visible tiles with liquid.
restrictice
-----------
Restrict traffic on all tiles on top of visible ice.
getplants
---------
This tool allows plant gathering and tree cutting by RAW ID. Specify the types
of trees to cut down and/or shrubs to gather by their plant names, separated
by spaces.
Options:
:-t: Select trees only (exclude shrubs)
:-s: Select shrubs only (exclude trees)
:-c: Clear designations instead of setting them
:-x: Apply selected action to all plants except those specified (invert
selection)
:-a: Select every type of plant (obeys ``-t``/``-s``)
Specifying both ``-t`` and ``-s`` will have no effect. If no plant IDs are specified,
all valid plant IDs will be listed.
