reveal

-

This reveals the map. By default, HFS will remain hidden so that the demons -don't spawn. You can use 'reveal hell' to reveal everything. With hell revealed, -you won't be able to unpause until you hide the map again. If you really want -to unpause with hell revealed, use 'reveal demons'.

-

Reveal also works in adventure mode, but any of its effects are negated once -you move. When you use it this way, you don't need to run 'unreveal'.

-
-
-

unreveal

-

Reverts the effects of 'reveal'.

-
-
-

revtoggle

-

Switches between 'reveal' and 'unreveal'.

-
-
-

revflood

-

This command will hide the whole map and then reveal all the tiles that have -a path to the in-game cursor.

-
-
-

revforget

-

When you use reveal, it saves information about what was/wasn't visible before -revealing everything. Unreveal uses this information to hide things again. -This command throws away the information. For example, use in cases where -you abandoned with the fort revealed and no longer want the data.

-
-
-

lair

-

This command allows you to mark the map as 'monster lair', preventing item -scatter on abandon. When invoked as 'lair reset', it does the opposite.

-

Unlike reveal, this command doesn't save the information about tiles - you -won't be able to restore state of real monster lairs using 'lair reset'.

-
-

Options

- --- - - - - - -
lair:Mark the map as monster lair
lair reset:Mark the map as ordinary (not lair)

An isometric visualizer that runs in a second window. This requires working -graphics acceleration and at least a dual core CPU (otherwise it will slow -down DF).

tweak

Contains various tweaks for minor bugs (currently just one).

Options

+

tubefill

+

Fills all the adamantine veins again. Veins that were empty will be filled in +too, but might still trigger a demon invasion (this is a known bug).

+
+
+

extirpate

+

A tool for getting rid of trees and shrubs. By default, it only kills +a tree/shrub under the cursor. The plants are turned into ashes instantly.

+

Options:

+
- + - + - + - + +
clear-missing:Remove the missing status from the selected unit. -This allows engraving slabs for ghostly, but not yet -found, creatures.
shrubs:affect all shrubs on the map
clear-ghostly:Remove the ghostly status from the selected unit and mark -it as dead. This allows getting rid of bugged ghosts -which do not show up in the engraving slab menu at all, -even after using clear-missing. It works, but is -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.
trees:affect all trees on the map
fixmigrant: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).
all:affect every plant!
makeown: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.
+
+
+
+

grow

+

Makes all saplings present on the map grow into trees (almost) instantly.

+
+
+

immolate

+

Very similar to extirpate, but additionally sets the plants on fire. The fires +can and will spread ;)

+
+
+

regrass

+

Regrows grass. Not much to it ;)

+
+
+

weather

+

Prints the current weather map by default.

+

Also lets you change the current weather to 'clear sky', 'rainy' or 'snowing'.

+

Options:

+
+ +++ + - + - + - - + +
snow:make it snow everywhere.
stable-cursor:Saves the exact cursor position between t/q/k/d/etc menus of dwarfmode.
rain:make it rain.
patrol-duty:Makes Train orders not count as patrol duty to stop unhappy thoughts. -Does NOT fix the problem when soldiers go off-duty (i.e. civilian).
clear:clear the sky.
readable-build-plate:
 Fixes rendering of creature weight limits in pressure plate build menu.
+
+
+
+

Map inspection

+
+

cursecheck

+

Checks a single map tile or the whole map/world for cursed creatures (ghosts, +vampires, necromancers, werebeasts, zombies).

+

With an active in-game cursor only the selected tile will be observed. +Without a cursor the whole map will be checked.

+

By default cursed creatures will be only counted in case you just want to find +out if you have any of them running around in your fort. Dead and passive +creatures (ghosts who were put to rest, killed vampires, ...) are ignored. +Undead skeletons, corpses, bodyparts and the like are all thrown into the curse +category "zombie". Anonymous zombies and resurrected body parts will show +as "unnamed creature".

+

Options:

+
+ +++ + - + - + - + - - + +
detail:Print full name, date of birth, date of curse and some status +info (some vampires might use fake identities in-game, though).
stable-temp:Fixes performance bug 6012 by squashing jitter in temperature updates. -In very item-heavy forts with big stockpiles this can improve FPS by 50-100%
nick:Set the type of curse as nickname (does not always show up +in-game, some vamps don't like nicknames).
fast-heat:Further improves temperature update performance by ensuring that 1 degree -of item temperature is crossed in no more than specified number of frames -when updating from the environment temperature. This reduces the time it -takes for stable-temp to stop updates again when equilibrium is disturbed.
all:Include dead and passive cursed creatures (can result in a quite +long list after having FUN with necromancers).
fix-dimensions:Fixes subtracting small amount of thread/cloth/liquid from a stack -by splitting the stack and subtracting from the remaining single item. -This is a necessary addition to the binary patch in bug 808.
verbose:Print all curse tags (if you really want to know it all).
advmode-contained:
 Works around bug 6202, i.e. custom reactions with container inputs -in advmode. The issue is that the screen tries to force you to select -the contents separately from the container. This forcefully skips child -reagents.
+
+

Examples:

+
+
+
cursecheck detail all
+
Give detailed info about all cursed creatures including deceased ones (no +in-game cursor).
+
cursecheck nick
+
Give a nickname all living/active cursed creatures on the map(no in-game +cursor).
+
+
+
+

Note

+
    +
  • If you do a full search (with the option "all") former ghosts will show up +with the cursetype "unknown" because their ghostly flag is not set +anymore. But if you happen to find a living/active creature with cursetype +"unknown" please report that in the dfhack thread on the modding forum or +per irc. This is likely to happen with mods which introduce new types +of curses, for example.

drybuckets

This utility removes water from all buckets in your fortress, allowing them to be safely used for making lye.

+
+
+

fixdiplomats

Up to version 0.31.12, Elves only sent Diplomats to your fortress to propose +tree cutting quotas due to a bug; once that bug was fixed, Elves stopped caring +about excess tree cutting.

+

This command lets you see and change the game mode directly. +Not all combinations are good for every situation and most of them will +produce undesirable results. There are a few good ones though.

+
+

Example

+

You are in fort game mode, managing your fortress and paused. +You switch to the arena game mode, assume control of a creature and then +switch to adventure game mode(1). +You just lost a fortress and gained an adventurer. +You could also do this. +You are in fort game mode, managing your fortress and paused at the esc menu. +You switch to the adventure game mode, then use Dfusion to assume control of a creature and then +save or retire. +You just created a returnable mountain home and gained an adventurer.
