Cromage: Added details of gem cuts

{{quality|Exceptional|00:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)}}{{av}}

Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the [[mountain]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact|legendary artifacts]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. Gem encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in game, but cannot be made in fortress mode.

The majority of these gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan, in both cut and rough form. Humans are capable of bringing [[glass]] gems, also in both forms.

Sometimes, rough gems will be cut into [[craft]]s or '''large gems'''. Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem.

A dwarf with a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a perfect gem. They function much like large gems.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem. Stone can also be cut into gizzard stone gems.


== Value ==
Gems have base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10. Large gems can also have a [[quality]] modifier, which increases value.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem Cuts ==

As of .34.05, finished gems have a particular cut. These cuts do not affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" cut or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons." Cabochons have a basic "shape" cut but not any more complicated cut. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
* square
* oval
* tapered
* octagon
* rectangular
* round
* cushion
* emerald
* table
* baguette
* brilliant
* radiant
* marquise
* briolette
* trillion
* pear
* point
* cushion
* single

== Rare Gems ==
Faint yellow diamonds only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which itself only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. Star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| style="border-spacing: 0"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the [[mountain]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact|legendary artifacts]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. Gem encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in game, but cannot be made in fortress mode.

The majority of these gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan, in both cut and rough form. Humans are capable of bringing [[glass]] gems, also in both forms.

Sometimes, rough gems will be cut into [[craft]]s or '''large gems'''. Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem.

A dwarf with a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a perfect gem. They function much like large gems.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.


== Value ==
Gems have base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

See [https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Auy0R4dx5JF6dEdwQ3B5WkdCeUp0SjZYSl9vc3lteFE&hl=en_US#gid=0 here] or [https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApoOG6GC8_0RdHR5QkNDZlYwa1RYeUpCSzJSNUZIRkE&hl=en_US here] for a sortable, print-friendly spreadsheet with all gems and their values.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Rare Gems ==
Faint yellow diamonds only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which itself only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and sapphires and rubies only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. Star sapphires and rubies only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

{| style="border-spacing: 0"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

v0.34:Raw adamantine

2012-03-11T08:15:38Z

Cromage: details of safe adamantine mining

{{quality|Masterwork|18:25, 8 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{stonelookup/0}}{{av}}

The ore of [[adamantine]] is absurdly valuable, and can be processed into one of the most valuable [[material]]s in the game, both in monetary value and utility. Its discovery is both a boon and a bane; it has a massive [[value]] even unrefined, and weapons and armor made from it are very likely among the best possible. Its high melting point means you can easily use it to build magma-safe mechanisms and floodgates, but this is not recommended due to its scarcity and value in other items.

Raw adamantine has a [[Item_value#Material_multipliers|Material Multiplier]] of x250. For a comparison to other mined materials, generic [[stone]] has a MM of x1, [[obsidian]] x3, [[native silver]] x 10, [[native gold]] x30, and [[native platinum]] x40. Processed [[adamantine]] "metal" has a multiplier of x300, the highest in the game of any [[material]].

__TOC__

Adamantine is so valuable, both in price and usefulness, that a special message pops up when your miners discover a vein of it.

[[Image:000006 - Praise the miners!.png||500px]]

== Location ==

Every map can contain adamantine, regardless of the location. Very small maps can lack adamantine veins, usually however multiple veins are present (~1 per 4 embark squares). If an adamantine vein is located in an embark square, it will be in the center of this square. Adamantine veins can appear on the surface, but will be bordered by a great magma sea.(Confirmed in adventure mode)

More specific statistics, [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69048.msg1677543#msg1677543 from this forum post]:

: Word of Toady, and supported by all the careful research I've seen so far, is that there is one blue spire generated in every 2x2 [[embark]] grid, randomly placed amongst the four embark squares. Every 16x16 region square therefore has exactly 64 blue (and one special [[main:HFS|HFS]]). A 2x2 embark aligned to the grid will have exactly one blue spire. A 2x2 embark offset may have as few as none or as many as four blue spires. Over all the possible configurations of 2x2 embarks, your odds are as follows (rounded): zero blue, 20.4%; one blue, 60.6%, two blue, 17.8%, three blue, 1.8%, four blue, 0.1%, with an average (not surprisingly) of one blue; you also have a chance of special HFS of about 1.6%.

: A 3x3 is guaranteed (barring serious program bugs) to have at least one blue, has an average of 2.25 blue, and a max of four blue, with a special HFS chance of about 3.5%. An unaligned 4x4 still has a minimum of one blue, but an average of four blue, and a max of nine blue; with special HFS chance of about 6.3%; aligning it with the grid gives you exactly four blue. Moving up to a 5x5 increases the minimum blue to four, with an average of 6.25 and a max still of nine; the special HFS chance is 9.8%. If you're planning one making the HFS a major part of your fortress and don't cheat with reveal, an aligned 4x4 is the smallest you can generate that is guaranteed to have multiple blue (and therefore a high chance of multiple entrances, reducing the risk that one of the spires will not be traversable).

==Storage==
Raw Adamantine is stored in stone stockpiles with "Raw Adamantine" enabled in that stockpile's 'other stone' category. Once extracted, adamantine strands will be stored in Cloth stockpiles which have the appropriate materials enabled.

==Veins and Mining==

[[File:Adamantine_vein_large_profile.png|200px|thumb|right|A profile view of an adamantine vein travelling through an underground cavern, solid rock, and a magma sea. For more detail and resolution click the thumbnail.]]

It's worth noting that a tile of Raw adamantine, when mined out, will always produce a stone, regardless of the skill of the miner. Raw adamantine veins, in contrast to usual ore veins, span z-levels nearly exactly straight upwards, and are thicker than many gem clusters. Adamantine veins can span from 5 to 30-40 z-levels, sometimes even significantly more. Despite being impossibly strong in its refined form, a simple copper pick works fine for mining it out, and the vein is full of raw adamantine ripe for the diggin'. Just make sure you don't dig too deep...

{{minorspoiler}}

One serious downside to mining veins of raw adamantine is that some veins are hollow, and digging into the hollow section will eventually lead to a certain [[Hidden Fun Stuff|spoiler]], triggering [[losing|dangerously large amounts of fun]] which can and usually will wipe out even a mature, heavily defended fortress. On the bright side, the location of all adamantine veins will be revealed at this time.

Hollow sections are always 2x2 tiles in size, encased by a 4x4 unbroken block of adamantine. A hollow section on one z-layer shares at least one x or y tile with the hollow sections above and below it. Using these constants, it is easy to determine where the hollow sections are not and mine the "safe" areas only, allowing you to mine about 50% of vein safely. However, one wrong designation can lead to disaster...

Adamantine can be found in vertical pillars in the [[magma sea]]. This makes mining difficult, as one must either drain the area around the pillar to mine the pillar fully, or in cases of thicker pillars, mine out only the interior without breaching the exterior layer (and thus flooding the interior with magma). However, with the access to vast amounts of water almost guaranteed on any map thanks to underground lakes, it might be possible to use selective flooding to cool the magma around the adamantine, and build walls of obsidian around them.

40d:Broker skills

2009-03-31T02:59:30Z

Cromage:

'''Broker skills''' are the ones used by the outpost broker to conduct trades. They are:

* Conversationalist
* Comedian
* Flatterer
* Intimidator
* Persuader
* Negotiator
* Liar
* Judge of intent

They are gained by:
* Successful trades at the [[trade depot]]. Multiple experience gains from a single trade session are possible.
* Finalizing an export agreement.
* Attending [[Party|parties]].
* Meeting friends and other dwarves.{{Verify}}

Notable ways through which they are '''not''' gained include:
* Proposing an unsuccessful trade at the depot (except Judge of Intent).
* Offering goods to foreign traders.
* Simply being assigned as the broker noble.
* Sitting around at the depot, whether there are traders there or not.
* Liaison meeting steps that occur before the export agreement.

==Judge of intent==
This skill is improved by:

* Proposing an unsuccessful trade at the depot
* Meeting with a [[Liaison]]

At Novice or better skill, the trade dialog will include an extra line about the traders' mood. The messages are:

* "the merchant seems ecstatic with the trading"
* "the merchant seems happy with the trading",
* "the merchant is pleased with the trading",
* "is willing to trade" (neutral)
* "is rapidly losing patience"
* "is not having much more of this"
* "refuses to trade"

Once the lowest level is reached, the traders will pack up and go home and you can't trade anymore with this caravan.

Note: A Stunned dwarf loses the benefits of this skill.

40d:Wound

2009-03-31T02:56:33Z

Cromage:

[[Creatures]] with severe '''wounds''' will flash with a yellow or red + icon; see [[status icons]] for a full list of status and injury indicators. A creature's injuries can be seen by pressing {{key|w}} while {{key|v}}iewing creature info in [[Fortress Mode]], or by {{key|l}}ooking at a creature and selecting their letter in [[Adventure Mode]]. Wounds are listed by body part and described by color, as displayed in the following table.

{| border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1 style="background: black"
|-
| unhurt
|-
| lightly wounded
|-
| moderately wounded
|-
| broken
|-
| mangled
|-
| lopped off
|}

== Wounding ==

:''This section is incomplete; much about the [[Combat| combat system]] is unknown.''

If an attack connects, the target will be wounded in some part of the body. The severity of the wound depends on 1) the strength of the attack, 2) the protective value of any [[armor]] or other protection available for that body part, and 3) a (large) random factor. Wounds are cumulative: when an already wounded body part is hit the wound will worsen, even if in adventure mode it produces the same message about the condition of the body part more than once.

The mathematics are at present pure guesswork. However, we do know that armor value does not simply subtract from damage; you can be wounded (usually lightly) by an attack substantially weaker than the protective value of your armor. Armor is vital to survivability, but it can't make you immune. Creature size is also vital; larger creatures hit harder and can endure more base damage. Attacks, especially piercing attacks with critical boosts (e.g. arrows), can damage vital internal organs located in the area of that body part.

== Effects of wounds ==

When a wound is inflicted, no matter how lightly, it will usually bleed (even if only for one turn). In [[Fortress Mode]], wounded dwarves receive various unhappy [[thoughts]], but also some positive thoughts from the rescue and recovery process (see next section).

A wounded limb or organ becomes less effective. A severe wound to an arm or hand causes held items (weapons, shields) to be dropped from that hand. Wounds to either leg often cause the target to topple over, greatly slowing it down. Pierced lungs make it easier to become Winded. Damaged internal organs often cause the victim to periodically become stunned or unconscious until they heal (which in some cases never happens).

Death from [[Blood|blood]] loss will happen quickly whenever wounds to major internal organs occur, like the heart being pierced or "entrails shooting out through the wound". In [[Adventure Mode]], a "Mortal Wound" status indicator will appear when this happens to your adventurer. There is no way to avoid this. A pierced lung doesn't always result in bleeding to death, but it may eventually cause suffocation, or dying of thirst due to Drink actions being interrupted by falling unconscious. [[Attributes#Toughness|Toughness]] may be a factor in helping to prevent this.

Other effects of wounding (for most creatures) include pain, which can cause temporary paralysis due to fainting ("giving in to pain"), [[vomit]]ing, and stunning (slowing), especially if the creature is not very Tough.

Stunning seems to also inhibit a dwarf's social skills, such as [[Judge of Intent]].

=== On organs ===

When a creature is attacked with a piercing [[weapon]] or projectile, organs might take damage. This table shows most major organs, their functions, and what happens when they are damaged.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
|- style="background: grey; color: black;"
! Organ !! Function !! Lightly/moderately wounded effects !! Broken/mangled effects !! Lopped off effects
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"

|- style="padding: 1px;"
|| Brain || Movement || Bleeding, possibly becoming Winded. Usually not fatal || Paralysis. Weapons get dropped, limbs become useless, inability to stand. The only attack possible is 'Push' || Decapitation, or other gory head explosion effects, naturally, cause instant death.

|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Eye(s) || Visuals || Bleeding, vision is impaired if all eyes are effected. || Not possible || Heavy Bleeding. Possible extreme pain depending on Toughness and number of eyes removed. Destroys accuracy and lessens vision permanently. If all eyes are removed, the creature is completely blind, and can only "see" what's next to it (other words, 3x3 vision).
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Guts || Not known || Not possible || Fatal Heavy Bleeding (on and off) as entrails spill out, extreme pain, and nausea. Can be a slow, painful death. ''Can only be mangled.'' || The entire lower body is severed from the rest of the body or it is completely destroyed. Instant death.
|}

== Wounds in Fortress Mode ==

=== Healing ===
Dwarves with yellow or red wounds will attempt to get to a bed to [[rest]], if possible. Civilian dwarves with the [[health care]] labor will drag severely wounded dwarves to a bed and bring them [[food]] and [[bucket]]s of [[water]] as they recover. A severely injured dwarf will stay in bed, and occasionally cancel tasks to rest their injury. [[Toady]] has stated that beds which are not in any defined [[room]] are considered hospital beds, and dwarves will recover faster when sleeping on them. Dwarves with light or moderate (medium grey to brown) wounds do not need to rest.

In the current version (39c), wounded dwarves who rest are automatically labelled as "unconscious". Unlike the previous versions, this does not prevent the other dwarves from bringing them food and water.

Generally, light or moderate wounds will be healed in a week at most, usually much faster. Broken body parts will likely take some months of bed rest to recover, and a mangled part can take years. Severed limbs do not grow back.

Yellow or red wounds have a chance to heal on [[season]] changes. The likelihood of yellow or red wounds making a recovery is quite variable. Limbs are more likely to eventually heal than internal organs. In some cases, a badly wounded dwarf will not recover at all.

Wounds to the nervous system (the neck, brain, or spine) will never heal. If these wounds are not too severe the dwarf will be able to continue his daily routine without any problems. Military dwarves with nervous wounds will never spar, however. Melee dwarves with nervous injuries may still be valulable as a Marksdwarf. If a dwarf has yellow or red nervous damage, he will be a permanent invalid, and you may wish to arrange for his demise so as to prevent him from forever requiring your other dwarves to bring him food and water.

Dwarves have various [[thoughts]] from injury, unconciousness, and the healing process. Injuries cause unhappy thoughts, but these are offset by happy thoughts from getting rescued, being able to rest and recuperate (i.e. stay in bed), and being given water and food. Check for unhappy patients, as wounded dwarves have been known to go berserk when unhappy thoughts accumulate (see below). If you cannot ensure their happiness, you may have to station armed guards nearby as a precaution, or even lock the wounded dwarf in his bedroom and write him off.

Since losing consciousness due to pain can be resisted by dwarves with high Toughness, very Tough dwarves tend to survive injuries more easily. Toughness also greatly speeds up the healing process, a superdwarvenly tough (super-)dwarf can heal yellow injuries in days{{verify}}. Losing a limb, however, can make even the toughest creatures give in to pain.

Arrows and bolts can become stuck in limbs, showing up in the wounded dwarf's inventory. This prevents the wound from healing. Like other shot ammo, it will initially be in forbidden state, so to heal the wound you must claim the stuck missile and mark it for dumping. Whenever a wounded dwarf moves to a bed to rest, be sure and check his inventory for stuck items so he can heal.

== Wounds in Adventure Mode ==

Healing is much simpler in [[Adventure Mode]]; walking one space on the overland map will heal everything but severed limbs, including hunger and thirst. Your <strike>friends</strike> spear-catchers will also be healed, as long as they were reasonably close to you when you left the map. If you leave them bleeding and crawling in the cave below, however, they won't come with you.

In the current version, it is observed that beginning to freeze to death during a cold night will produce blood spatters on every surface of your body and inflict minor wounds to every organ and surface possible. This includes your eyes, limiting your vision to a single square around you. This is almost certainly because of wounds in the eyes, as if you {{k|T}}ravel away you will retain the blood in your eyes but regain normal vision. A similar effect is observed if you manage to set yourself on fire, although you are also blinded and suffocated by the smoke in this case.

== Descriptions ==

In Adventure Mode, wounds will generate messages when they are inflicted. The following table lists the various messages you'll see when a wound is received. Messages corresponding to immediately fatal blows to the three major body parts (head, upper body, and lower body) are also provided. Most of these messages are displayed for organic beings only, not for skeletal, mechanical, etc. creatures.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
|- style="background: grey; color: black;"
! Damage type !! Lightly wounded !! Moderately wounded !! Broken !! Mangled !! Instantly fatal (head) !! Instantly fatal (upper body) !! Instantly fatal (lower body)
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Pierce || "It is pierced!" || "It is badly pierced!" || "It is broken!" || "It is mangled!" || "It is pierced through entirely!" || "It is pierced through completely!" || "It is run through!"
|- style="padding: 1px;"
|| Bludgeon || "It is bruised!" || "It is battered!" || "It is broken!" || "It is mangled!" || "It is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!" || "It collapses into a lump of gore!" || "It explodes in gore!"
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Slash || "It is cut!" || "It is badly gashed!" || "It is broken!" || "It is mangled!" || "It is split in half from the crown to the chin!" || "It is cloven asunder!" || "It is mostly cut away from the rest of the torso!"
|- style="padding: 1px;"
|| Gore || "It is torn!" || "It is badly ripped!" || "It is broken!" || "It is mangled!" || "It is torn apart!" || "It is torn into pieces!" || "It is ripped into loose shreds!"
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Burn || "It is singed!" || "It is burned!" || "It is cracked by the heat!" || "It is partially incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!"
|- style="padding: 1px;"
|| Cold || "It is chilled!" || "It is frostbitten!" || "It is cracked by the cold!" || "It is frozen through!" || "It is shattered!" || "It is shattered!" || "It is shattered!"
|- style="background: #eee; padding: 1px;"
|| Heat || "It is blistered!" || "It is charred!" || "It is cracked by the heat!" || "It is partially incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!" || "It is incinerated!"
|}

If the major body part was "lopped off", which is different than just having an instantly fatal wound, the message would say "The *Body part* flies off in a bloody arc!"

A creature inflicted with a fatal blow will be announced as "struck down" or, if a ranged weapon was used "shot and killed". Other death messages include "starved to death", "drowned", "fallen into a deep chasm", "burned to death", etc.

40d:Silk

2009-03-30T06:54:10Z

Cromage:

Silk thread can be gathered from the [[web]]s of a [[cave spider]] and woven into [[cloth]] at the [[loom]]. If your fortress doesn't have cave spiders, then it is easy to buy silk thread and cloth from the dwarven [[caravan]].

Silk cloth has exactly the same value as plant fiber cloth (34☼).

[[Giant cave spider]] silk is very expensive (see [[Item value]]), because Toady saw fit. It's rare because it only occurs in [[biomes]] where a lair can exist ([[mountains]]/[[volcano]]s). Getting your hands on it requires you to be either very careful or have [[Combat#Special_Attacks|a little talk]] with the [[Giant cave spider|owner]].

[[Phantom spider]] silk has the same value as normal silk, although it is rarer than normal silk. It usually occurs in [[Regions#Surroundings|terrifying]] heavily wooded areas of some kind, and in small patches. Note that stripping a heavily wooded area of trees will drive the [[Phantom spider]]s out, reducing the amount of webbing present.

Silk of all kinds will not burn. It is unclear if this is a feature or a bug.

40d Talk:Wear

2009-02-14T19:48:54Z

Cromage:

I thought prepared food wore as well, but a quit check of my stockpiles indicates otherwise.--[[User:Erom|Erom]] 23:48, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Can certain attackers (like trolls) attack and damage built structures in this version like in the 2D version? If so, that should be mentioned in the article. [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 01:52, 16 February 2008 (EST)

It seems fish, raw fish and meat is really the only food subject to wear - not even milk or cheese are affected. If Seeds show wear then only after a very long time (3+years) --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 13:00, 21 February 2008 (EST)

== Vermin ==

I suspect that the chief cause of wear on food is because of vermin, and that nothing else causes wear on food. I think someone should verify this experimentally (I'll probably do it if no one else feels the urge).

; Procedure
# Stockpile food until at least five years' worth of meat and crops have been gathered.
# Ensure that all basic dwarven needs are fulfilled. Include dry screw pumps so everyone can remain satisfied at work. Create a pump system which provides a permanent water source.
#* One problem is there is no means of protecting against strange moods and/or ensuring that moods can be fulfilled. Should stockpile objects from every category?
# Clear all jobs from the dwarves and allow everyone to idle. Slash and burn all crops, slaughter all lifeforms, and seal off the cave complex.
# Create at least fifty small animal traps.
# Save game and create a back up of that save.
# From the backup, create two folders: "experiment" and "control".
# Load the control fortress.
# Run the "control" fortress for a span of five years. Do not interact with the simulation.
# Save the "control" fortress.
# Load the experiment fortress. Assign the Trapping labour to everyone.
# Run the "experiment" fortress for a span of five years. Ensure the manager screen is always filled with "Catch a live animal" jobs. Do not otherwise interact with the simulation.
# Save the "experiment" fortress.
# Compare the stockpiles of the control fortress to the experiment fortress.
# Repeat procedure as many times as needed to improve certainty.

;Hypothesis
* The control fortress will have considerably less food than the experiment fortress. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:JT|JT]]

:An alternative would be to mod out all vermin. I strongly suspect that food will rot even without vermin. Temperature is involved. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 13:46, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

== Worn Clothing ==

Does the clothing problem still occur in late game? (Dwarves' clothing getting too rotten, so many go naked.)--[[User:Richards|Richards]] 13:08, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

:I've got a fortress that's been going for a while, and there are indeed a lot of dwarves that are either naked or else wearing nothing but XXitemXX clothing (and thus soon to be naked). Some are still reasonably well-clothed though. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 16:53, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
:: I assume you're not running a clothing industry? Meaning, won't they get new clothes if there are some available? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 21:15, 8 November 2008 (EST)

:::In my testing, I've seen them grab trousers, socks, shoes, and either a robe or a coat. I think they'll put on dresses too. They don't put on mittens, hoods, gloves, or even caps for some reason. Haven't experimented with shirt, tunic, or vest yet.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 23:17, 8 November 2008 (EST)
:::Update: they'll put on shirts, but not tunics, vests, or dresses.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 17:35, 9 November 2008 (EST)
:::No, wait, a champion of mine just put on a tunic when I switched his armor level. Aha, I see what it is: shirts, tunics, and dresses are "under" armor layer, so they'll only put them on if they don't have an "over" garment (toga, vest, coat, or robe).--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 21:29, 9 November 2008 (EST)
:::: That seems like a flaw. --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 23:02, 9 November 2008 (EST)

:::::The whole clothing system could use an overhaul. The clothing-on-putting system, that is. Even though caps are "over" layers, dwarves don't put them on. Based on other observed behaviors, I suspect military dwarves will put one on (cloth or leather, that is) if set to "clothing" armor level. They'll put on a metal cap if set to leather.

:::::I'm pretty sure they won't put on new socks (under) if they're still wearing shoes (over). For a second I surmised that they won't also won't put on an over layer (ooh, itchy) unless they're already wearing an under layer. But they never put on gloves. They also never put on "cover" layers (cloak, cape, mittens, hood) -- the infamous exception being the Dungeon Master, who will wear a dozen cloaks, given the chance.

:::::I still haven't figured out the whole "permit/size" thing (see [[armor]]). I believe they can wear coat+leather+chain+plate, but for some reason when they've got two coats on, they'll remove the chain (and possibly the leather armor) to put on plate. They'll wear two pairs of socks sometimes too. At first I surmised that they seek out new clothing when the current stuff is XX-level wear (and they don't necessarily remove the worn-out stuff first), but here's one with two brand-new left socks and one brand-new right sock. And there's a huge pile of old socks and shoes on my clothier's shop, ranging from x wear to XX, which means sometimes they do remove old stuff. And apparently they'll remove old shoes to put on socks, and then fail to put the shoes on again.

:::::This is the point at which a large red question mark blinks across my face.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 23:47, 9 November 2008 (EST)

::::::Oh, lovely. Now, I'll be spending the next hour reviewing all the clothing my dwarves are wearing instead of doing important things, like trying to get my dwarves to load all my crossbow traps with used bolts. Would it be wrong to blame you for this? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 00:16, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::::::You should be thanking me for distracting you. (Crossbow traps? You ''are'' a masochist.)--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 02:04, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::::::: Of course crossbow traps! It's all part my [[User:RomeoFalling|Empire of Sand And Bone]]. Is there any other weapon you can make out of cat bone? --[[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 06:08, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::::::::Admittedly, no, though I like glass corkscrews for their glinty screwiness -- that is, if you're willing to give the 'sand' half its due.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 12:54, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::::Okay, new information: I made a shirt and a vest to see what would happen. The shirt is on a dwarf in the following order: XXdressXX, shirt, XXcoatXX. The vest is on a different dwarf with the following upper body clothing: xdressx, xrobex, then the vest.

:::::I guess it has to do with some interaction of [LAYER], [LAYER_SIZE], and [LAYER_PERMIT], though the exact details are still confusing to me. [[Armor]] talks about LAYER_PERMIT, but what's written there is far from clear.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 23:57, 10 November 2008 (EST)

== Bones ==
Are bones included in stuff that wears away even in stockpiles?(or do they wear away more quickly when outdoors?) I've been piling goblin skulls / bones on the roof of my fortress inside refuse stockpiles, and then forbidding them so they don't get used in crafts projects, but they disappeared...

40d:Adamantine

'''Adamantine''' is by far the most rare and valuable [[metal]] in the game. It can only be found in mountainous areas, and only in small amounts. Care should be taken if it is found, since digging down several levels through it will lead you to the [[demon]] pits. After you reach the [[Glowing pits|pits]], a horde of demons will eventually be loosed on your fortress. These demons are very powerful and can wipe out even a mature, heavily defended fortress.

Discovery of adamantine will also bring the attention of the [[King]], who will immigrate to your fortress once news of your discovery reaches him. If you have not otherwise met the criteria for attracting the King, he will arrive "disguised as a peasant." His requirements appears to be the same in any case, so be prepared!

== Location ==

To start in a location which has adamantine (and the accompanying demon pits), you must start on a mountain tile ({{Raw Tile|∆|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|∆|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#C0C0C0|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|▲|#00FFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#FFFFFF|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#808080|#000000}},{{Raw Tile|^|#00FFFF|#000000}}) or volcano tile ({{Raw Tile|^|#FF0000|#000000}}) in the Region map. The adamantine and pits will be located somewhere within the Local map of that region. It is more likely to be found on a Local map square which also shows as mountain. The adamantine will occupy only one Local square, though the demon pits may extend beyond it.

Deposits are not visible on the Region/World maps or the Local maps by default, but can be turned visible by setting SHOW_EMBARK_OTHER to ALWAYS in init.txt, in which case they appear as {{tile|£|#0FF}} on the local embark map.

==Veining==
Curiously, adamantine veins tend to span z-levels more than the xy planes. Finding a short section of adamantine only 2x1 or 3x1, dig up or down a z-level and you'll probably find another short section.
To view examples of this phenomenon, check out the [http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-2837-addyveinstotallyz-spanning DFMA Point of Interest] and [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-290-z-leveladamantinevein a movie] recording the layout of a vein.

== Processing ==

Adamantine strands are extracted from [[raw adamantine]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. The [[strand extraction]] labor must be enabled for a dwarf to perform the extraction. The process is extremely slow for an unskilled laborer. Adamantine strands are worth 1800☼ each, while the raw adamantine is worth 750.

Subsequent processing of the strands requires no adamantine-specific skills or labor permissions. Adamantine strands are processed into adamantine wafers at any [[smelter]]. Adamantine wafers are worth 1500☼ each - curiously, less than the strands they are smelted from. Adamantine wafers are treated much like [[bar]]s of other metal, and can be forged into a variety of useful items. Adamantine strands may also be woven into cloth using the Weave Metal Cloth task in a [[loom]]. Adamantine strands may be dyed, but if they are melted into wafers the they will return to their normal color and value.

Forging things out of adamantine requires a number of wafers equal to item's MATERIAL_SIZE. This is usually about three times as many as are needed for constructions with bars of other metals, since one metal bar counts for 3 MATERIAL_SIZE. For instance, plate mail has [MATERIAL_SIZE:9] and normally requires three metal bars to forge; adamantine plate mail requires nine adamantine wafers. Helm has [MATERIAL_SIZE:2] and normally requires one metal bar to forge; adamantine helm requires two adamantine wafers.

==Uses==
Adamantine is so valuable that a special message pops up when you discover a vein of it.

[[Image:000006 - Praise the miners!.png||500px]]

Raw adamantine may also be processed into [[stone]] goods in the same way as other economic stone. In its raw form, it has a [[Item value|value multiplier]] of x250 (as opposed to adamantine metal, which is x300). Raw adamantine blocks are worth 1250☼.

Adamantine items are incredibly light: they weigh about 2.5% as much as an equivalent article crafted from iron. [[Weapon]]s and [[armor]] made from adamantine are 5 times stronger than equivalent [[iron]] objects.

Adamantine is one of the few [[magma-safe]] materials. Raw adamantine is the only [[stone]], aside from [[bauxite]], that can be used to make magma-safe [[mechanism]]s. (To do this, you must lift the [[economic stone|restrictions]] on its use via the Stone submenu of the [[status]] screen.) Mechanisms can also be made from a single{{verify}} adamantine wafer at a [[forge]] or [[magma forge]], under "trap components" -- this cannot be done with any other metal.

==Storage==
Raw Adamantine is stored in stone stockpiles with "Raw Adamantine" enabled in that stockpile's 'other stone' category.

However once strands are extracted, they are stored in a cloth pile. It is unfortunately impossible to segregate adamantine from plant fiber and silk cloth, because all cloth apparently counts as non-plant/animal products as far as the game is concerned, and adamantine does not appear as a thread/cloth type in the cloth custom stockpile menu.

Wafers are stored in bar/block piles with adamantine enabled. All other goods can be stored in any stockpile with the adamantine metal enabled.

40d:Tilesets

2009-02-07T23:00:43Z

Cromage: More embark map info

:''You may be looking for the [[List of user character sets]] or [[List of user graphics sets]].''

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you change [BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. The Dystopian Rhetoric graphics set comes with its own DF installer; to install any others (or to install that one manually), you follow a similar process to the above:

# Download the graphics set. (The list is [[Graphics sets|here]].)
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file using your favorite image editing program.
# Put it in the raw/graphics/example directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation, so it overwrites the existing file.
# Open /raw/graphics/example_text.txt
# Replace the contents with the appropriate text for the graphics set you downloaded. Save the file.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# Locate the [GRAPHICS:NO] line and change it to [GRAPHICS:YES].
# Change the resolution and font directories as above, this time for the lines starting with GRAPHICS instead. So, if you want to use fullscreen mode, modify [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:800], [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:600], and [GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] to suit the standard tileset you want to use. For windowed mode, the lines to change are [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:640], [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:300], and [GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.bmp].
# Be sure to change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE] to the same setting as [BLACK_SPACE].
# Save the file, then you're ready to get mangled by a great-looking elephant!

===How to stretch the tile sets for bigger display===
Simply change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:?] and [BLACK_SPACE:?] to NO in the init/init.txt, depending on whether you are using the graphics mode or not. This will stretch the window to the size you specified in [WINDOWEDX:?] and [WINDOWEDY:?] or FULLSCREENX:?] and [FULLSCREENY:?] or [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:?] and [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:?] or [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:?] and [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:?] depending on which mode you run DF in. (NORMAL|GRAPHICS + WINDOWED|FULLSCREEN)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Recommended only for window mode prior to version 39f, to make it easier to preserve tile aspect ratio. 39f onwards, you should choose a grid size that is of the same aspect ratio as your monitor (e.g. on a 1600x1280 monitor, choose grid size 80:64)
* Take note however that you need to set the the window size correctly.

** For versions prior to 39f, your window width in pixel size should be 3.2 (which is 80/25) times your window height in pixel size.
*: Example:
*:: if you choose window width to be 1600, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1600] in init/init.txt file, then your height should be 1600/3.2 which gives 500, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:500] in init/init.txt. This will automatically stretch your character tiles and gfx tiles accordingly.

** For version 39f onwards where you can change the grid size, you need to compute the aspect ratio from the (grid width)/(grid height).
*: Example:
*:: if you are are using a grid size of 80 by 64, the aspect ratio should be 1.25 (from 80/64). If you set your window width to 1600, then the height will be 1600/1.25 = 1280.

* Also note that stretching a gfx tile may cause graphical artifacts (not the crafted ones in-game!) i.e. slight defects in the visuals, but it should make you able to see smaller tiles on a larger screen area. The exception is when you use a integral multiple, e.g. stretching 16x16 tiles to 32x32, which seems to produce the least artifacts.
* It is not recommended that you shrink tiles though the method is the similar (except defining a smaller window size than is normally required by the grid and tile size).

===How to increase number of tiles shown keeping the tile size the same===
See [[Custom grid]].

== Custom tileset design ==

The gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.

=== How colors other than white and magenta work ===

When the game draws a tile, it will select a foreground color, a background color, and a tile based on the item being drawn. The background color will be used in place of magenta (Hex code #FF00FF or RGB 255 0 255). All other colors in the tile will be treated as a mask against the foreground color. Pure white (#FFFFFF) will always show the foreground color, while light grey (#CCCCCC) will be a slightly darker version of the foreground color, and dark grey (#888888) will be a dark version of the foreground color. Black (#000000) will always be black. It is impossible to use different shades of the background color.

In general, just remember these rules:

* Bright magenta (#FF00FF) is the background.
* Bright white (#FFFFFF) is the foreground.
* Darker shades of white and grey (#C0C0C0, #808080, etc) will display darker shades of the foreground color. It is possible to use any shade of grey, including ones like #333333 and #C2C2C2.
* Black (#000000) will always be black.
* It's probably best to avoid color in normal tilesets.

For an example, the game is drawing an exposed turquoise cluster with color bright blue (#0000FF). While loading the tile image, it encounters the color light grey (#CCCCCC). The color used in its place will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || 0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #0000FF || #CCCCCC ||0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Blue || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || FF16 * CC16 / 10016 = CB16 || 255 * 204 / 256 = 203
|-
| Final Color || || || #0000CB || 0 0 203
|}

Color masks with unequal amounts of R, G and B are calculated in the same fashion. The game is now drawing a speardwarf with color brown (#C0C000). It encounters the color cyan while loading the tile (#008080). The color used instead of cyan will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #C0C000 || #008080 || C016 * 0016 / 10016 = 0016 || 192 * 0 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #C0C000 || #008080 ||C016 * 8016 / 10016 = 6016 || 192 * 128 / 256 = 96
|-
| Blue || #C0C000 || #008080 || 0016 * 8016 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 128 / 256 = 0
|-
| Final Color || || || #006000 || 0 96 0
|}

As illustrated by this example, colors in the tileset can result in colors that aren't in the foreground color or the tile graphic. In this case, a brown foreground color with a cyan pixel color in the tileset results in a final color of green.

Theoretically, the way the game handles color masks could be used to display different graphics for items that use the same tile (but whose respective colors use different color component channels). For example, if a bright red object and a bright blue object use the same tile, the tile can use bright red for all pixels that only the red object uses, bright blue for all pixels only the blue object uses, and bright magenta (but NOT #FF00FF, it would have to be #FE00FE or something similar) for all pixels both objects use. In this fashion the two objects that share a tile would look completely different. In practice however, this is probably impossible because so many objects share the same tile, the chances of the potential foreground colors sharing a red, green, or blue color component are too great.

== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.

40d:Tilesets

2009-02-07T22:50:52Z

Cromage: added reference to Other Features, denoted by £ in world map mode if turned on

:''You may be looking for the [[List of user character sets]] or [[List of user graphics sets]].''

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you change [BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. The Dystopian Rhetoric graphics set comes with its own DF installer; to install any others (or to install that one manually), you follow a similar process to the above:

# Download the graphics set. (The list is [[Graphics sets|here]].)
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file using your favorite image editing program.
# Put it in the raw/graphics/example directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation, so it overwrites the existing file.
# Open /raw/graphics/example_text.txt
# Replace the contents with the appropriate text for the graphics set you downloaded. Save the file.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# Locate the [GRAPHICS:NO] line and change it to [GRAPHICS:YES].
# Change the resolution and font directories as above, this time for the lines starting with GRAPHICS instead. So, if you want to use fullscreen mode, modify [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:800], [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:600], and [GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] to suit the standard tileset you want to use. For windowed mode, the lines to change are [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:640], [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:300], and [GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.bmp].
# Be sure to change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE] to the same setting as [BLACK_SPACE].
# Save the file, then you're ready to get mangled by a great-looking elephant!

===How to stretch the tile sets for bigger display===
Simply change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:?] and [BLACK_SPACE:?] to NO in the init/init.txt, depending on whether you are using the graphics mode or not. This will stretch the window to the size you specified in [WINDOWEDX:?] and [WINDOWEDY:?] or FULLSCREENX:?] and [FULLSCREENY:?] or [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:?] and [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:?] or [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:?] and [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:?] depending on which mode you run DF in. (NORMAL|GRAPHICS + WINDOWED|FULLSCREEN)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Recommended only for window mode prior to version 39f, to make it easier to preserve tile aspect ratio. 39f onwards, you should choose a grid size that is of the same aspect ratio as your monitor (e.g. on a 1600x1280 monitor, choose grid size 80:64)
* Take note however that you need to set the the window size correctly.

** For versions prior to 39f, your window width in pixel size should be 3.2 (which is 80/25) times your window height in pixel size.
*: Example:
*:: if you choose window width to be 1600, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1600] in init/init.txt file, then your height should be 1600/3.2 which gives 500, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:500] in init/init.txt. This will automatically stretch your character tiles and gfx tiles accordingly.

** For version 39f onwards where you can change the grid size, you need to compute the aspect ratio from the (grid width)/(grid height).
*: Example:
*:: if you are are using a grid size of 80 by 64, the aspect ratio should be 1.25 (from 80/64). If you set your window width to 1600, then the height will be 1600/1.25 = 1280.

* Also note that stretching a gfx tile may cause graphical artifacts (not the crafted ones in-game!) i.e. slight defects in the visuals, but it should make you able to see smaller tiles on a larger screen area. The exception is when you use a integral multiple, e.g. stretching 16x16 tiles to 32x32, which seems to produce the least artifacts.
* It is not recommended that you shrink tiles though the method is the similar (except defining a smaller window size than is normally required by the grid and tile size).

===How to increase number of tiles shown keeping the tile size the same===
See [[Custom grid]].

The gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.

=== How colors other than white and magenta work ===

When the game draws a tile, it will select a foreground color, a background color, and a tile based on the item being drawn. The background color will be used in place of magenta (Hex code #FF00FF or RGB 255 0 255). All other colors in the tile will be treated as a mask against the foreground color. Pure white (#FFFFFF) will always show the foreground color, while light grey (#CCCCCC) will be a slightly darker version of the foreground color, and dark grey (#888888) will be a dark version of the foreground color. Black (#000000) will always be black. It is impossible to use different shades of the background color.

In general, just remember these rules:

* Bright magenta (#FF00FF) is the background.
* Bright white (#FFFFFF) is the foreground.
* Darker shades of white and grey (#C0C0C0, #808080, etc) will display darker shades of the foreground color. It is possible to use any shade of grey, including ones like #333333 and #C2C2C2.
* Black (#000000) will always be black.
* It's probably best to avoid color in normal tilesets.

For an example, the game is drawing an exposed turquoise cluster with color bright blue (#0000FF). While loading the tile image, it encounters the color light grey (#CCCCCC). The color used in its place will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || 0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #0000FF || #CCCCCC ||0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Blue || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || FF16 * CC16 / 10016 = CB16 || 255 * 204 / 256 = 203
|-
| Final Color || || || #0000CB || 0 0 203
|}

Color masks with unequal amounts of R, G and B are calculated in the same fashion. The game is now drawing a speardwarf with color brown (#C0C000). It encounters the color cyan while loading the tile (#008080). The color used instead of cyan will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #C0C000 || #008080 || C016 * 0016 / 10016 = 0016 || 192 * 0 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #C0C000 || #008080 ||C016 * 8016 / 10016 = 6016 || 192 * 128 / 256 = 96
|-
| Blue || #C0C000 || #008080 || 0016 * 8016 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 128 / 256 = 0
|-
| Final Color || || || #006000 || 0 96 0
|}

As illustrated by this example, colors in the tileset can result in colors that aren't in the foreground color or the tile graphic. In this case, a brown foreground color with a cyan pixel color in the tileset results in a final color of green.

Theoretically, the way the game handles color masks could be used to display different graphics for items that use the same tile (but whose respective colors use different color component channels). For example, if a bright red object and a bright blue object use the same tile, the tile can use bright red for all pixels that only the red object uses, bright blue for all pixels only the blue object uses, and bright magenta (but NOT #FF00FF, it would have to be #FE00FE or something similar) for all pixels both objects use. In this fashion the two objects that share a tile would look completely different. In practice however, this is probably impossible because so many objects share the same tile, the chances of the potential foreground colors sharing a red, green, or blue color component are too great.

== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.
