1#notes label(help) run me for the dreamfort walkthrough
2Welcome to Dreamfort! These blueprints will help you build a functional, secure, fully self-sustaining fortress that you can use as-is or extend to build the fortress of your dreams!
3
4It can be difficult to apply a set of blueprints that you did not write yourself. This walkthrough will guide you through the high-level steps of building Dreamfort. Run "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /checklist" (or, if you're looking at the online version, switch to the "checklist" sheet) for a compact list of the commands you'll be running. Each level also has its own mini-walkthrough with more details.
5
6The final fort will have a walled-in area on the surface for livestock, trading, aboveground farming, and military training. One z-level down is the farming level, with related workshops and vents up to the surface for miasma prevention. The farming level also has a miniature dining hall and dormitory for use until you get the services and housing levels set up.
7
8Beyond those two, the other layers can be built in any order, at any z-level, according to your preference and the layout peculiarities of your embark site:
9- The industry level has a compact, but complete set of workshops and stockpiles (minus what is already provided on the farming level).
10- The services level has dining, hospital, marksman barracks, and justice services, plus a well system. It is 4 z-levels deep.
11- The guildhall level has large, empty rooms for building libraries, temples, and guildhalls.
12- The suites level has fancy rooms for your nobles.
13- The apartments levels have small but well-furnished bedrooms for your other dwarves.
14
15Run each level's "help" blueprint (e.g. "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /surface_help") for more details.
16
17Dreamfort has a central stairs-based design. For all Dreamfort levels, place the cursor on the center (undug) tile of the 3x3 stairs area when you apply the blueprints for that level. The first surface blueprint will designate a column of stairs that you can use as a guide. If you need to extend the stairs down further to lower levels, run "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /central_stairs --repeat down,10" with the cursor on the z-level below the lowest current stairs.
18
19Dreamfort blueprints take care of everything to get the fort up and running. You don't need to clear any extra trees or create any extra buildings or stockpiles (though of course you are free to do so). Blueprints that do require manual steps, like 'assign minecart to hauling route', will leave a message telling you so when you run them. Note that blueprints will designate buildings to build even if you don't have the materials needed to build them. You can use "quickfort orders" to automatically create the manager orders for all the needed items. Make sure your manager is available to validate all the incoming work orders!
20
21There are some tasks common to all forts that Dreamfort doesn't specifically handle for you. For example, Dreamfort sets up a barracks, but managing squads is up to you. Here are some other common tasks that may need to be done manually (or with some other tool):
22- Exploratory mining for specific resources like iron
23- Filling the well system with water
24- Bringing magma up to the industry level to power magma forges/furnaces
25- Manufacturing trade goods
26- Assigning skilled labors to migrants (although the example professions included with DFHack will help with this)
27- Custom stockpile setups to assist with, for example, encrusting only high-quality items
28
29Dreamfort works best at an embark site that is flat and has at least one soil layer. New players should avoid embarks with aquifers if they are not prepared to deal with them. Bring picks for mining, an axe for woodcutting, and an anvil for a forge. Bring a few blocks to speed up initial workshop construction as well. That's all you really need, but see the example embark profile in the online spreadsheets for a more complete setup.
30
31Other DFHack scripts and plugins also work very well with Dreamfort, such as autofarm, automelt, autonestbox, burial, prioritize, seedwatch, tailor, and, of course, buildingplan. An init file that configures all these plugins Is distributed with DFHack as hack/examples/init/onMapLoad_dreamfort.init.
32Put that file in your Dwarf Fortress directory -- the same directory that has dfhack.init.
33
34Also copy the files in hack/examples/orders/ to dfhack-config/orders/ and the files in hack/examples/professions/ to professions/. We'll be using these files later. See https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/guides/examples-guide.html for more information, including suggestions on how many dwarves of each profession you are likely to need at each stage of fort maturity.
35
36Once you have your starting surface workshops up and running, you might want to configure buildingplan (in its global settings, accessible from any building placement screen, e.g.: b-a-G) to only use blocks for constructions so it won't use your precious wood, boulders, and bars to build floors and walls. If you bring at least 7 blocks with you on embark, you can even set this in your onMapLoad.init file like this:
37on-new-fortress buildingplan set boulders false; buildingplan set logs false
38
39Directly after embark, run "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /setup" with your cursor on your wagon to set settings, and get started building your fort with "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /surface1" on the surface (see /surface_help for how to select a good spot). Read the walkthroughs for each level to understand what's going on and follow the checklist to keep track of where you are in the building process. Good luck, and have fun building an awesome Dreamfort-based fort!
40
41The dreamfort.csv file distributed with DFHack is generated from online spreadsheet files. If you want to look at how these blueprints are put together, it is easier to look at the online spreadsheets than the giant .csv. You can view them at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iS90EEVqUkxTeZiiukVj1pLloZqabKuP
42You are welcome to copy the Dreamfort spreadsheets and make your own modifications!
43
44If you like, you can download a fully built Dreamfort-based fort from https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=15434 and explore it interactively.
45# dreamfort.csv is generated with the following command: for fname in dreamfort*.xlsx; do xlsx2csv -a -p '' "$fname"; done | sed 's/,*$//'

47Here is the recommended order for Dreamfort commands. You can copy/paste the command lines directly into the DFHack terminal, or, if you prefer, you can run the blueprints in the UI with gui/quickfort. See the level walkthroughs for context and details. Also remember to read the messages the blueprints print out after you run them so you don't miss any important manual steps.
48
49-- Preparation (before you embark!) --
50Copy hack/examples/init/onMapLoad_dreamfort.init to your DF directory
51Copy the fort automation orders from hack/examples/orders/*.json to the dfhack-config/orders/ directory
52Optionally copy the premade profession definitions from hack/examples/professions/ to the professions/ directory
53
54-- Set settings and preload initial orders --
55
56-- Find a good starting spot on the surface --
57
58-- Dig --
59
60-- Core fort (should finish at about the third migration wave) --
61
62-- Plumbing --
63This is a good time to fill your well cisterns, either with a bucket brigade or by routing water from an aquifer or freshwater stream.
64Also consider bringing magma up to your services level so you can replace the forge and furnaces on your industry level with more powerful magma versions. This is especially important if your embark has insufficient trees to convert into charcoal. Keep in mind that moving magma is a tricky process and can take a long time. Don't forget to continue making progress through the checklist! If you choose to use magma, I suggest getting it in place before importing the military and smelting automation orders since they make heavy use of furnaces and forges.
65
66-- Mature fort (third migration wave onward) --
67
68-- Repeat for each remaining apartments level as needed --
69See this checklist online at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13PVZ2h3Mm3x_G1OXQvwKd7oIR2lK4A1Ahf6Om1kFigw/edit#gid=1459509569
70#notes label(setup_help)
71Makes common initial adjustments to in-game settings.
72
73The /setup blueprint is intended to be run once at the start of the game, before anything else is changed. Players are welcome to make any further customizations after this blueprint is run. Please be sure to run the /setup blueprint before making any other changes, though, so your settings are not overwritten!
74
75The following settings are changed:
76- The manager, chief medical dwarf, broker, and bookkeeper noble roles are assigned to the first suggested dwarf. This is likely to be the expedition leader, but the game could suggest others if they have relevant skills. Bookkeeping is also set to the highest precision.
77
78- Standing orders are set to:
79- only farmers harvest
80- gather refuse from outside (incl. vermin)
81- no autoloom (we'll be managing cloth production with automated orders)
82
83- A burrow named "Inside" is created (it's up to the player to define the area). It is intended for use in getting your civilians to safety during sieges. An alert named "Siege" is also created and associated with the "Inside" burrow.
84
85- Military uniforms get the following modifications:
86- all default uniforms set to replace clothing
87 - in the "Metal armor" uniform, the "metal armor" item is removed and replaced by "metal breastplate" and "metal mail shirt"
88 - in the "Metal armor" uniform, the "metal legwear" item is removed and replaced by "metal greaves"
89
90All default uniforms should also have a leather cloak added, but the position of the cloak in the equipment list changes for every embark. We suggest manually adding a leather cloak to your uniforms after running the /setup blueprint.
91
92- Hotkeys are created for the 8 most interesting levels. Only the names are set -- it's up to the player to adjust them to actual locations in the (H) menu since the blueprint can't know where the levels will eventually be built. Feel free to replace any hotkeys with locations that *you* think are interesting : )
93
94These are all set for your convenience. Nothing in Dreamfort depends on these settings staying as they are. Feel free to change any setting to your personal preference.

120Here are the minimal labors needed for essential tasks in getting Dreamfort up and running, along with suggestions for which dwarves to assign them to. You can enable additional labors as you wish. Skills with an asterisk (*) are especially worth putting points into on the embark preparation screen.

123Misc. labors needed for constructing workshops
124
125The most time-consuming tasks in early Dreamfort are: mining, chopping down trees, and making blocks. Starting with at least two miners, two woodcutters (assuming your embark has trees), and two masons helps in keeping the fort from stalling.
126
127We suggest bringing at least:
128
129Also bring logs for beds if embarking in an area without many trees.

209Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YL_vQJLB2YnUEFrAg9y3HEdFq3Wpw9WP
210
211Features:
212- A starting set of workshops and stockpiles (which you can later remove once you establish your permanent workshops and storage)
213- Livestock grazing area with nestbox zones and beehives
214- Walls, roof, and lever-controlled gates for security
215- Barracks (with prisoner processing quantum dump)
216- Trap-filled hallways for invaders
217- Optional extended trap hallways (to handle larger sieges)
218- Protected trade depot
219- A grid of 1x1 farm plots (intended to be managed by DFHack autofarm)
220
221Manual steps you have to take:
222- Assign grazing livestock to the large pasture and dogs to the pasture over the central stairs (DFHack's autonestbox can manage the nestbox zones)
223- Connect levers to the gates that match the names of the levers
224- Assign minecarts to the trade goods and prisoner processing quantum stockpile hauling routes
225
226Be sure to choose an embark site that has a flat area on the surface large enough to use these blueprints!
227
228Surface Walkthrough:
2291) Choose a tile for your central fortress stairs. The terrain around that tile should be perfectly flat. Trees are ok, but no slopes, rivers, or lakes. To be sure that the tile you've chosen is in a good spot, set the cursor over that tile and run "quickfort run library/dreamfort.csv -n /perimeter". This will show you the eventual boundaries of the fort. Some wall segments might be missing due to existing trees, but that's ok. Make sure the area within the exterior wall is flat. Run "quickfort undo library/dreamfort.csv -n /perimeter" to clean up.
230
2312) With the cursor on the chosen tile, run /surface1 to clear surrounding trees and set up your pastures. Deconstruct your wagon to get it out of the way of our upcoming walls and floors. Remember to assign your dogs to the pasture around the staircase and your grazing animals to the large pasture. Your egg-layers will automatically get assigned to nestbox zones once the nestboxes are built, so you don't need to worry about them. You can let your cats roam free to chase vermin.
232
2333) Once the marked trees have been cleared, run /surface2 to setup starting workshops/stockpiles, channel out the miasma vents for the farming level, and start clearing trees from a larger area. If you haven't done it already, now is a good time to configure buildingplan to only build buildings with blocks, not logs or raw boulders. Do this by entering buildingplan's global configuration ("baG") and ensuring the only generic building material allowed is "blocks". Run "quickfort orders" for /surface2.
234
2354) Once the channels are dug out and the trees are cleared, start digging the farming level one z-level down. Once you have run /farming2, come back to the surface and run /surface3 to cover the vents and build an enclosure around your central stairs. Although the vents will be covered with flooring, they will still work to prevent miasma on the farming level. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface3.
236
2375) Once all walls and floors have been constructed around the stairwell, run /surface4 to build floors and walls to support upcoming buildings and furniture. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface4.
238
2396) Once walls and floors have been constructed (including the small roof segment one z-level up over the barracks), run /surface5 to build furniture, gates, and the permanent trade depot. Remember to deconstruct the temporary trade depot once nobody is using it. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface5.
240
2417) Once at least the beehives and weapon rack are built, run /surface6 to configure the rooms and build the remaining walls and floors. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface6.
242
2438) Once you have enough dwarves to do a lot of building without starving other important tasks, run /surface7 to build the roof. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface7.
244
2459) For extra security, you can run /surface8 any time after /surface7 to extend the trap corridors. Run "quickfort orders" for /surface8.
246
24710) Once your industry and farming levels are set up and running, you can disassemble the surface workshops and remove the surface stockpiles. Disassembling a workshop scatters the items stored within it and cancels any pending jobs that happen to use those items. In order to avoid job cancellations, first set the surface workshops to not accept general work orders. Do this by entering query mode ("q"), selecting a workshop, entering the workshop profile ("P"), moving to work orders (right arrow), and hitting Enter. Then enter view mode ("t") and check to see if any items in a workshop are marked with "TSK". Once no items in the workshop have that marker, you are free to disassemble that workshop.
248
249Sieges and Prisoner Processing:
250Here are some tips and procedures for handling seiges -- including how to clean up afterwards!
251
252- Ensure your "Inside" burrow includes only below-ground areas and safe surface areas of your fort. In particular, don't include the "atrium" area (where the "siege bait" zone is) or the trapped hallways.
253- When a siege begins, set the alert to "Siege" to ensure all your civilians stay out of danger. Immediately pull the lever to close the outer main gate. It is also wise to close the trade depot and inner main gate as well. That way, if enemies get past the traps, they'll have to go through the soldiers in your barracks.
254- During a siege, use the levers to control how attackers path through the trapped corridors. If there are more enemies than cage traps, time your lever pulling so that the inner gates snap closed before your last cage trap is sprung. Then the remaining attackers will have to backtrack and go through the other trap-filled hallway.
255- If your cage traps fill up, ensure your hallways are free of uncaged attackers, then close the trap hallway outer gates and open the inner gates. Unset the civilian alert and allow your dwarves to reset all the traps -- make some extra cages in preparation for this! Then re-set the civilian alert to "Siege" and open the trap hallway outer gates.
256- Once the last attacker is caged, open all the gates and unset the civilian alert. Life is normal again!
257
258After a siege, you can use the caged prisoners to safely train your military. Here's how:
259
260- Once the prisoners are hauled to the "prisoner quantum" stockpile, run "stripcaged all" in the DFHack console.
261- After all the prisoners' items have been confiscated, bring your military dwarves to the barracks (if they aren't already there).
262- Use the zone (i) menu to assign a group prisoners to the pasture that overlaps the prisoner quantum stockpile
263- Hauler dwarves will come and release prisoners one by one. Your military dwarves will immediately pounce on the released prisoner and chop them to bits, saving the hauler dwarves from being attacked. Repeat until all prisoners have been "processed".

358
359Features:
360- Pairs with the surface blueprints for vents that prevent miasma
361- Farm plots (intended to be managed by DFHack autofarm)
362- Plentiful food storage
363- Refuse/corpse quantum stockpile
364- Small dormitory and dining room for post-embark needs
365- Small offices for your manager and bookkeeper
366
367Workshops:
368- Kitchen
369- Brewery
370- Butcher
371- Fishery
372- Tannery
373- Farmer's Workshop
374- Quern
375- Screw Press
376
377Manual steps you have to take:
378- Check to make sure the lower office is assigned to your manager and assign the upper office to your bookkeeper (if different from your manager)
379- Assign a minecart to your refuse quantum stockpile hauling route
380- If the industry level is already built, configure the jugs, pots, and bags stockpiles to take from the "Goods" quantum stockpile (the one on the left) on the industry level
381
382Farming Walkthrough:
3831) Wait until you have channeled the miasma vents and cleared trees on the surface before digging out the farming level on the z-level below the surface, otherwise you will end up with extra ramps on the farming level and unprotected holes through the surface when you later chop down trees growing above empty space.
384
3852) Start digging with /farming1 and get started on manufacturing furniture by running "quickfort orders" on /farming2 and /farming3.
386
3873) Once the level is dug out, run /farming2 to build workshops, stockpiles, and the furniture we need to anchor the rooms. Remember to assign a minecart to the newly-designated quantum refuse dump. There are also jugs, pots, and bags stockpiles on this level that should be configured to "take" from the industry level stockpile once we get the industry level built.
388
3894) When the furniture is in place, run /farming3 to designate your starter dining room and dormitory and build the farm plots and remaining furniture. The blueprint also attempts to assign the lower office to your manager, but double-check this assignment in case your dwarves are in an unexpected order.
390
3915) Once your fort has enough free time to build the remaining doors, run /farming4. This will also enable seasonal fertilization for your farm plots. Run "quickfort orders" for /farming4.
392
3936) You can disassemble the dining room and dormitory once the services and apartments levels are up and running, if you like.

419Sets up workshops for all non-farming industries
420Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1emMaHHCaUPcdRbkLQqvr-0ZCs2tdM5X7
421
422Features:
423- Space-efficient layout for all workshops
424- Manager orders that automate basic fortress maintenance
425- Space available underneath the forge and smelters for magma, allowing the starting forge and smelters to be eventually replaced by magma versions.
426- Quantum stockpiles for compact storage
427with separate stockpiles for:
428- A reserve of uncut gems for strange moods that the jeweler's workshop cannot take from
429- Wood, steel bars, and coal so you can see at a glance if you're low on stock
430- Items that cannot be quantum stockpiled (e.g. lye and sand bags)
431- Meltable weapons and armor
432
433Workshops:
434- 2x Mason
435- 4x Craftsdwarf
436- 1x Jeweler
437- 1x Mechanic
438- 4x Smelter
439- 1x Forge
440- 1x Glassmaker
441- 1x Kiln
442- 4x Wood furnace
443- 1x Ashery
444- 1x Soap maker
445- 1x Carpenter
446- 1x Siege workshop
447- 1x Bowyer
448- 1x Dyer
449- 1x Loom
450- 1x Clothier
451
452
453Manual steps you have to take:
454- Assign minecarts to your quantum stockpile hauling routes
455- Give from the "Goods" quantum stockpile to the jugs, pots, and bags stockpiles on the farming level
456- Copy the fort automation manager orders (the .json files) from hack/examples/orders/ and put them in your dfhack-config/orders/ directory.
457
458Optional manual steps you can take:
459- Restrict the Mechanic's workshop to only allow skilled workers so unskilled trap-resetters won't be tasked to build mechanisms.
460- Restrict the Craftsdwarf's workshops to only allow labors that take from the adjacent stockpiles. That is, only allow Woodcrafting for the Craftsdwarf's workshop on the left near the wood stockpile, Stonecrafting for the Craftsdwarf's workshop near the Mason's workshops, and Bonecrafting for one of the Craftsdwarf's workshop near the Clothier's workshop. The last Craftdwarf's workshop can hold all the remaining labors, or it can be a secondary workshop for a labor that you want more dwarves working on.
461- To encourage your masons to concentrate on building blocks and other high-volume orders, it helps to set one of your Mason's workshops to service a maximum of 2 manager orders at a time.
462- Once you have enough haulers, you can increase the rate of stone and ore hauling jobs by building more wheelbarrows and adding them to the stone and ore feeder stockpiles.
463- If desired, set one or both stockpiles in the bottom left to auto-melt. This results in melting all weapons and armor that are inferior to masterwork. This is great for upgrading your military, but it takes a *lot* of fuel unless you have first replaced the forge and smelters with magma versions. If you enable automelt and you don't have magma forges and magma smelters, be sure to be in a heavily forested area, enable auto-chop, and keep your coal stocks high.
464
465Industry Walkthrough:
4661) Start digging out /industry1 as soon as you find a stone layer at least two layers beneath the surface so the boulders can be used by your starting workshops. The services level is intended to be dug beneath this one, and there is space on that level to route magma underneath your furnaces so you can replace the furnaces on this level with magma-powered equivalents.
467
4682) Queue up manufacturing by running "quickfort orders" on /industry2. You brought an anvil with you (right??), so you can remove the unneeded anvil work order from the manager orders screen (j-m). Note that stockpiles that accept containers may claim the barrels you need to build the Dyer's Workshop and Ashery. If you see those two buildings not being constructed, build a few extra barrels or run combine-plants and combine-drinks to free up some existing ones.
469
4703) Once the area is dug out, run /industry2. Remember to assign minecarts to to your quantum stockpile hauling routes, and if the farming level is already built, give from the "Goods" quantum stockpile (the one on the left) to the jugs, pots, and bags stockpiles on the farming level.
471
4724) Once you have enough dwarves to do maintenance tasks (that is, after the first or second migration wave), run "orders import basic" to use the provided basic.json to take care of your fort's basic needs, such as food, booze, and raw material processing.
473
4745) If you want to automatically melt goblinite and other low-quality weapons and armor, mark the south-east stockpiles for auto-melt. If you don't have a high density of trees to make into charcoal, though, be sure to route magma to the level beneath this one and replace the forge and furnaces with magma equivalents.
475
4766) Once you have magma furnaces (or abundant fuel) and more dwarves, run "orders import furnace", "orders import military", and "orders import smelting" to import the remaining fort automation orders. The military orders are optional if you are not planning to have a military, of course.
477
4787) At any time, feel free to build extra workshops or designate custom stockpiles in the unused space in the top and bottom right. The space is there for you to use!

488Sets up public services (dining, hospital, etc.)
489Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13vDIkTVOZGkM84tYf4O5nmRs4VZdE1gh
490
491Features:
492- Spacious dining room (also usable as a tavern)
493- Prepared food and drink stockpiles
494- Well cistern system (bring your own water)
495- Hospital with a well for washing
496- Garbage dump
497- Empty space for magma to power forges and smelters in the industry level above
498
499Note the hospital also has animal training enabled so it can be used with the dwarfvet plugin if it's enabled.
500
501Manual steps you have to take:
502- If you want to declare the dining room as a tavern, the bedrooms at the top can be assigned to the tavern as rented rooms.
503- Fill the cisterns with water, either with a bucket brigade or by plumbing flowing water. Fill so that there are two z-levels of 7-depth water to prevent muddiness. If you want to fill with buckets, designate a pond zone on the level below the main floor. If you feel adventurous and are experienced with water pressure, you can instead route (depressurized!) water to the second-to-bottom level (the one above the up staircases).
504- If you are filling the wells with a bucket brigade and at least one well is already constructed, you'll run into issues with the dwarves stealing water from the wells to fill the wells. Temporarily deconstruct the wells or temporarily build grates beneath the wells to block the buckets to avoid this issue. Remember to rebuild the wells or remove the grates afterwards, though!
505
506Services Walkthrough:
5071) Start this level when your fort grows to about 50 dwarves so everyone has a place to eat.
508
5092) Start digging with /services1. Note that this digs out the main level and three levels below for the wells.
510
5113) Once the area is dug out, set up important furniture, stockpiles, hospital zone and garbage dump zone with /services2. Run "quickfort orders" for /services2.
512
5134) When the table and chair have been placed in the dining room and the weapon rack and archery targets have been constructed in the barracks, run /services3 to build the rest of the furniture and configure your dining room and barracks. Run "quickfort orders" for /services3.
514
5155) Fill the wells with either bucket brigades or by carefully routing flowing water.
516
5176) When your fort is mature enough to need jail cells, run /services4 to set those up -- anytime after the restraints are built in the jail cell block. You also get some decorative statues to increase the value of your dining hall. Run "quickfort orders" for /services4.

569
570Features:
571- Well-appointed suites to satisfy nobles
572- Apartments with beds and storage to keep dwarves happy and the fortress clean
573- Apartments also serve as burial chambers since dwarves like looking at coffins
574- Meta blueprint included for designating 5 levels of apartments for a full 200+ dwarves
575
576Suites Walkthrough:
5771) Dig out the suites layer with /suites1.
578
5792) Once the area is dug out, furnish the suites with /suites2. The rooms are left unconfigured so you can assign them to specific nobles. Each room can serve as a bedroom, a dining hall, an office, and/or a tomb. Run "quickfort orders" for /suites2.
580
581Apartments Walkthrough:
5821) Dig out one layer of apartments with /apartments1, or 5 layers at once (enough for 200 dwarves) with by adding "--repeat down,5" to the quickfort command.
583
5842) Once a layer is dug out, build beds with /apartments2. Run "quickfort orders" for /apartments2.
585
5863) Once the beds are built, configure the rooms and build the remaining furniture with /apartments3. Run "quickfort orders" for /apartments3.
587
5884) Once the coffins are all in place, run "burial -pets" to set them all to accept burials. This is handled for you if you're using the onMapLoad_dreamfort.init file included with DFHack.
