===[http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/ Dwarf Therapist]===

Dwarf Therapist gives you an advanced GUI to manage and check dwarf job allocations, military assignments (40d), statistics (such as attributes, personality traits and happiness), plus sort dwarves by various criteria (eg. profession, migration wave, happiness, number of assigned jobs etc.) and generally manage the Dwarven Resources of your fortress in a very convenient way.

Version 0.6.12 is out. This version supports DF builds up to 0.34.02 by default, but with the auto-update it supports up to 0.34.07.

====For Mac users====
A DT version for natively running it on OSX is in the works by DwarfEngineeer and beta versions compatible with 34.03+ are now available on [http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/downloads/list the dwarftherapist downloads page]. A mac version of this utility (built by ghalidrim) is outdated and is compatible with DF version 31.25. It is free for download at [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4463 the DF file depot]. It is also possible to use DT with the latest version of DF by using Wine.

=====Dwarf Therapist and Dwarf Fortress on Mac using Wine=====
# Download latest windows versions [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ DF] and [http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/downloads/list DT].
# Download winebottler http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/. It should also download wine. Launch them both.
# Click the Wine icon on your taskbar and find Change Prefix.
# From there, create a prefix (it may auto-detect some other games and create prefixes for them, don't bother with that) in a convenient directory, call it 'generic' or something.
# Click Change Prefix again after it's done configuring and make sure Wine is using that one.
# Move DF and DT to the Program Files associated with the *general* prefix. DT won't find any running versions of DF otherwise. Mine was located in *username*/documents/generic/drive_c/program files.
# When launching DF and DT a small window pops up asking which prefix you want to use, choose general.
# Strike the earth.

If Dwarf Therapist in Wine starts running slow or gets really laggy, find it's preference file, "Dwarf Therapist.ini," and trash it.
It is located in *username*/documents/generic/drive_c/users/*usernameagain*/application data/UDP Software/.

It'd be good to have a comparison of the effectiveness of different materials used for bolts etc if such information is available, similar to the information on the [[weapon]] page. Or perhaps it would fit better on there? --[[User:Raveturned|Raveturned]] 08:33, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

'''Ammunition''' is fired from ranged [[weapon]]s like crossbows and blowguns, and is stored in ammunition [[stockpile]]s, sometimes in quivers. Ammunition may also refer to the [[stone]]s and [[ballista]] arrows fired from siege engines; for more information about these weapons, see the [[siege engine]] article.

Ammunition for foreign weapons like bows and blowguns is also considered foreign and cannot be manufactured in the fortress.

All ammunition has the "EDGE" attack type, this means that sharper [[metal]] or other sharp [[material]]s are better for ammunition purposes. As projectiles, however, ammunition is also affected by the density of the material and the volume of the individual arrow, bolt, or dart.

When a dwarf with bolts or arrows stuck in his or her body gets his or her wounds treated, the ammo will be dropped in the Hospital bed.

== Personal opinion ==
What do you consider being "decent amount of information"? Because on articles like that, there isn't much to be said. So decent amount of information may defer from article to article. It's not about length (that's taken care of automatically), it's about how much about the certain thing is said, divided by how much information can possibly be said. [[User:Speed112|Speed112]] 14:38, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't consider myself to be a veteran player just yet, so I'm not assuming I know all that can be said about the subjects of the pages I'm rating. As such, I can't really make a call on whether there's a "decent amount" of information. If you disagree with a particular rating I've given, feel free to re-rate a page. My main concern is getting pages off of the "Unknown Quality Articles" list. --[[User:Raveturned|Raveturned]] 14:54, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
