Utility:DFHack/createitem

2025-01-23T21:49:58Z

Janosch: I tried the PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_GREAVES this morning upon the new update, and it gives chain leggings. With it changed to PANTS:ITEM_GREAVES_GREAVES, the issue was fixed. Tried other things and everything else seems to be the same, at least from the small section of weapons and armor I have tried.

This is a list of <code>createitem</code> commands for [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]].

(Not to be confused with <code>gui/create-item</code>, an interactive Lua script.)
= Usage =

'''Format:'''
createitem {{tc|green|'''[Item token]'''}} {{tc|blue|'''[Material]'''}} {{tc|red|'''[Quantity (optional)]'''}}

* If you select a unit, then that unit will be named (''or, as it would be, used'') as the crafter, otherwise, the first unit in the fortress will be automatically selected ''if'' the keyboard cursor is active. Clothing and armor items will be sized for that unit's creature type.
* By default, items will be placed on the floor, either at the feet of the selected unit or beneath the cursor.
** If you select a container (such as a barrel, backpack, or minecart) and type <code>createitem item</code>, or a building (such as a workshop, chest, or weapon rack) and type <code>createitem building</code>, all subsequently created items will be placed inside that container or building.
** Typing <code>createitem floor</code> will switch it back to placing created items on the floor. This will also happen automatically if the previously-selected container or building is destroyed. A list of valid item tokens can be found [[item token|here]]: Note that CORPSE, CORPSEPIECE, and FOOD are not supported by DFHack.
* You can create multiple items at once by appending a number to the createitem command (e.g. <code>createitem BOULDER INORGANIC:HEMATITE 20</code>). Note that certain item types will be created in stacks, while others will be created as individual items - see the [[Reactions#quantity_2|Reactions]] page for more information.
* Text in ''italics'' should be replaced with the ID from the relevant raw page on this wiki. For example, to make goblin-cap logs, visit the [[goblin-cap]] page and view the raws. The ID is found in the first token, separated from the item type with a colon - for example, the ID for goblin-caps is <code>GOBLIN_CAP</code>, retrieved from <code>[PLANT:GOBLIN_CAP]</code>.
** Some IDs contain a space which needs to be quoted, for example <code>createitem ROUGH "INORGANIC:LAPIS LAZULI"</code>.
** All ID values are ''case sensitive'', so make sure you capitalize them correctly - in vanilla raws, they are typically all uppercase, but mixed-case IDs may be encountered when using mods.
