=======================
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Implemented by the manipulator plugin. To activate, open the unit screen and press 'l'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This tool implements a Dwarf Therapist-like interface within the game ui.

Implemented by the gui/liquids script. To use, bind to a key and activate in the 'k' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While active, use the suggested keys to switch the usual liquids parameters, and Enter
|

Implemented by the gui/mechanims script. To use, bind to a key and activate in the 'q' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lists mechanisms connected to the building, and their links. Navigating the list centers
|
|
|
|
|
the view on the relevant linked buildings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To exit, press ESC or Enter; ESC recenters on the original building, while Enter leaves
|
|
|
|
|
focus on the current one. Shift-Enter has an effect equivalent to pressing Enter, and then
|
|
|

Power Meter
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Front-end to the power-meter plugin implemented by the gui/power-meter script. Bind to a
|
|
|
|
|
key and activate after selecting Pressure Plate in the build menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Rename
|
|
|
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backed by the rename plugin, the gui/rename script allows entering the desired name
|
|
|
|
|
via a simple dialog in the game ui.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``gui/rename [building]`` in 'q' mode changes the name of a building.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The selected building must be one of stockpile, workshop, furnace, trap or siege engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``gui/rename [unit]`` with a unit selected changes the nickname.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``gui/rename unit-profession`` changes the selected unit's custom profession name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``building`` or ``unit`` are automatically assumed when in relevant ui state.

Room List
|
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implemented by the gui/room-list script. To use, bind to a key and activate in the 'q' mode,
|
|
|
|
|
either immediately or after opening the assign owner page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The script lists other rooms owned by the same owner, or by the unit selected in the assign
|
|
|
|
|
list, and allows unassigning them.

Siege Engine
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Front-end to the siege-engine plugin implemented by the gui/siege-engine script. Bind to a
|
|
|
|
|
key and activate after selecting a siege engine in 'q' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 reflect if it can be
|
|
|
|
|
hit by the selected engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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, instead of the vanilla four directions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pressing 't' switches to stockpile selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**DISCLAIMER**: Siege engines are a very interesting feature, but currently nearly useless
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Steam Engine
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The steam-engine plugin detects custom workshops with STEAM_ENGINE in
|
|
|
|
|
their token, and turns them into real steam engines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Construction
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**ISSUE**: Since this building is a machine, and machine collapse
|
|
|
|
|
code cannot be modified, it would collapse over true open space.
|
|
|
|
|
As a loophole, down stair provides support to machines, while
|
|
|
|
|
being passable, so use them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**ISSUE**: Like with collapse above, part of the code involved in
|
|
|
|
|
machine connection cannot be modified. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operation
|
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The completion of the job will actually consume one unit
|
|
|
|
|
of the appropriate liquids from below the workshop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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%.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Explosions
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The engine must be constructed using barrel, pipe and piston
|
|
|
|
|
from fire-safe, or in the magma version magma-safe metals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|

|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Add Spatter
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plugin makes reactions with names starting with ``SPATTER_ADD_``
|
|
|
|
|
produce contaminants on the items instead of improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intended to give some use to all those poisons that can be bought from caravans.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be really useful this needs patches from bug 808 and ``tweak fix-dimensions``.
