v0.31:Megabeast

2010-05-21T23:24:25Z

Reengineered:

{{av}}{{Quality|Tattered}}

Mighty creatures that attack your fortress. When one enters your area, the game will announce its presence and its name.

The type of megabeast appears to be random, but the timing may not be. A certain wealth or a population of around 100 may trigger one.Verify Force-quitting and loading a fortress from a few days before a megabeast attack may result in a different one arriving on the same day, depending on what has survived world generation.

Included in this [[:Category:Megabeasts|category]] are the {{L|Bronze colossus}}, {{L|Dragon}}, {{L|Hydra}}, and {{L|Titan}}.

Occasionally, worlds may be generated in which no megabeasts survive, making the game considerably less fun. A common method of avoiding this problem is to make megabeasts significantly stronger during world generation so that more of them survive; however, this may result in them being just as strong when encountered, even if the modifications are later undone.

v0.31:Building destroyer

2010-05-14T22:45:00Z

Reengineered:

{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}
Creatures with the BUILDINGDESTROYER token will actively seek out various furnishings and workshops and happily un-construct them, leaving the raw materials lying nearby. They come in two varieties, the first being definitely annoying, and the second distinctly dangerous.

A creature can have this token at value 1 or value 2. When the value is 1, the creature will go after wooden hatches, wooden doors, supports, statues, windows and archery targets only. They can't destroy homes during world gen as (semi)megabeasts.

When the value is 2 the creature will actively seek out most (all?) buildings* and destroy them. They can also destroy buildings during world-gen with this tag. Megabeasts rely on this token for their pathing when attacking your fort. Remember that your constructions (IE walls, staircase, floors etc) are still safe, since they're processed the same way natural terrain is for most situations.

(* Value 2 includes anything not built with the b + C commands, so (most?) anything except walls, ramps, stairs (any), and fortifications)
The simplest way to keep building destroyer 2's from constructed targets is with walls or channels.

Tame animals still carry their building destroyer tokens.

v0.31:Cheating

2010-05-03T19:47:08Z

Reengineered: /* Pets for everyone */

{{AV}}

{{mod}}

'''Cheating''' is altering the game to make dwarf fortress easier. This is distinctly different from [[exploits]]. There are two main ways to alter the game: changing the game's raw source files (which are really just text files), and directly altering the game's memory (which requires special tools).

=Raw Editing=

Raw files are located in the raw/objects directory

The most common use of editing raw files is to get free items, such as gems, adamantine, or flux.

When changing the raw files, you may or may not need to create a new world in order for your changes to be reflected.

Generally speaking, ''modifications'' to an existing entry in a raw file don't require a new world. Altering existing reactions or creatures is an example of this.

However, when adding or deleting entries, you need to create a new world for the changes to take place, and when deleting, it can and probably will render your old world unplayable as attempting to play worlds generated before the deletion will cause an error.

==Creature Token Modifications==
Modifying creature files does not require the creation of a new world. You can modify the physical attributes of a creature, make animals tamable and trainable, make your dwarves into short little bearded terminators, and much more.

===Speedy Dwarves===
Getting bored with slow dwarves?

Go into the creature_standard file and add the [SPEED:1] in somewhere in the top section of the entry.(or SPEED:0 if you're up to some psychedelic light speed traveling)

This will make your dwarves do the majority of their actions '''''super''''' fast, including moving, digging and workshop actions.

This may, ironically, lower FPS when a high population is present, but no more than what doing many actions at once would.

===No Needs Dwarves===

Not wanting to care for your dwarves? simply add [NO_EAT], [NO_SLEEP], and [NO_DRINK] to your dwarves raws and never care for them again.

As an added bonus, try adding [NOFEAR], [NOBREATHE], [NOSTUN], [NONAUSEA], [NOPAIN], [NO_DIZZINESS], [NO_FEVERS], and [NOEXERT] as well.

===Pets for everyone===
Ever want Cave dragons, Giant cave spiders, or even Helmet snakes for pets? Simply add [PET] and [COMMON_DOMESTIC] to the creature of your choice then generate a new world. Enjoy killing the local elephant population with your army of Giant cave spiders.

''Note: Pets may be '''expensive'''. ''
*That's why you set [PETVALUE:1]

==Reaction Additions==
There are now two reaction files: reaction_smelter and reaction_other. Additions to these lists will not take effect until you generate a new world. Note that if you edit an existing reaction entry (leaving the [REACTION:NAME] line unchanged) rather than add a new one, you will not need to generate a new world. Don't forget to add [PERMITTED_REACTION:(reaction)] under [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] in entity_default raw.

===Free Gems===
Fill in the name of a gem from the inorganic_stone_gem file and paste this in the reaction_smelter file to make your smelter spew out gems.
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_(gem name here)]
[NAME:make (gem name here)]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:(gem name {from raws})]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>
Note: You can change the skill used and the workshop, but make sure to keep it in the correct reaction file.
For convience, here are all the precious gems in the game.
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_DIAMOND_LY]
[NAME: make light yellow diamonds]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:DIAMOND_LY]

[NAME: make star rubies]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:RUBY_STAR]
[SKILL:SMELT]

[REACTION:FREE_SAPPHIRE_STAR]
[NAME: make star sapphires]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:SAPPHIRE_STAR]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>

===Easy Adamantine===
To get free adamantine wafers, add this to your reaction_smelter.
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_ADAMANTINE_WAFERS]
[NAME:create adamantine wafers]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>

It appears that, in some cases, starting out a new world with this in the reaction file can lead to all civilizations being Forgotten Beasts; thus, it may be better to add it after world creation, since Forgotten Beasts cannot work.

For adamantine thread it would be:
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_ADAMANTINE_THREAD]
[NAME:create adamantine thread]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:15000]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>

===Easy Flux, Sand, and Ore===
Add [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] to any stone you have to turn it into a flux. This is in inorganic_stone_mineral, or inorganic_stone_layer Or, add [METAL_ORE:{metal name}:100] to turn it into an ore. It also bears noting that the metal can easily be an alloy, like steel or brass. Likewise, open inorganic_stone_soil and add [SOIL_SAND] to any soil to turn it into sand suitable for making glass with.

None of these cheats require creating a new world. Turn peat into glass, basalt into platinum, and combine iron, diorite, and coal to make steel.

===Easy Metal===
Open reaction_smelter and change any reactions you like. Remove the [FUEL] tag.
to make them require no fuel. Remove the line(s) headed with [REAGENT:whatever] to make them require no reagents. You can pick any metal that exists in the game, as long as you pick the right raw name. (For example: IRON, PEWTER_LAY, and NICKEL_SILVER makes iron, lay pewter, and nickle silver respectively.)
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_(metal name here)]
[NAME:create (metal name here)]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:(metal name {from raws})][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>
These cheats do not require a new world (because they only modify existing reactions), and allow my smelters to create steel and adamantine from nothing. It's probably easier, though, to mod some bulk stone into the ore you need and go from there.

===Create Wood===
To create wood for free, Add this to reaction_smelter. (don't forget the wood type. Like OAK, PINE, TOWER_CAP, or FUNGIWOOD.)
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_WOOD]
[NAME:create wood]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:(wood name {from raws}):WOOD][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

'''Cheating''' is altering the game to make dwarf fortress easier. This is distinctly different from [[exploits]]. There are two main ways to alter the game: changing the game's raw source files (which are really just text files), and directly altering the game's memory (which requires special tools).

=Raw Editing=

Raw files are located in the raw/objects directory

The most common use of editing raw files is to get free items, such as gems, adamantine, or flux.

When changing the raw files, you may or may not need to create a new world in order for your changes to be reflected.

Generally speaking, ''modifications'' to an existing entry in a raw file don't require a new world. Altering existing reactions or creatures is an example of this.

However, when adding or deleting entries, you need to create a new world for the changes to take place, and when deleting, it can and probably will render your old world unplayable as attempting to play worlds generated before the deletion will cause an error.

==Creature Token Modifications==
Modifying creature files does not require the creation of a new world. You can modify the physical attributes of a creature, make animals tamable and trainable, make your dwarves into short little bearded terminators, and much more.

===Speedy Dwarves===
Getting bored with slow dwarves?

Go into the creature_standard file and add the [SPEED:1] in somewhere in the top section of the entry.(or SPEED:0 if you're up to some psychedelic light speed traveling)

This will make your dwarves do the majority of their actions '''''super''''' fast, including moving, digging and workshop actions.

This may, ironically, lower FPS when a high population is present, but no more than what doing many actions at once would.

===No Needs Dwarves===

Not wanting to care for your dwarves? simply add [NO_EAT], [NO_SLEEP], and [NO_DRINK] to your dwarves raws and never care for them again.

As an added bonus, try adding [NOFEAR], [NOBREATHE], [NOSTUN], [NONAUSEA], [NOPAIN], [NO_DIZZINESS], [NO_FEVERS], and [NOEXERT] as well.

==Reaction Additions==
There are now two reaction files: reaction_smelter and reaction_other. Additions to these lists will not take effect until you generate a new world. Note that if you edit an existing reaction entry (leaving the [REACTION:NAME] line unchanged) rather than add a new one, you will not need to generate a new world.

===Free Gems===
Fill in the name of a gem from the inorganic_stone_gem file and paste this in the reaction_smelter file to make your smelter spew out gems.
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_(insert gem name)]
[NAME: make (insert gem name)]

[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:(insert gem name)]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>
Note: You can change the skill used and the workshop, but make sure to keep it in the correct reaction file.

To get free adamantine wafers, add this to your reaction_smelter.
<pre>

[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:15000]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>

===Easy Flux, Sand, and Ore===
Add [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] to any stone you have to turn it into a flux. This is in inorganic_stone_mineral, or inorganic_stone_layer Or, add [METAL_ORE:{metal name}:100] to turn it into an ore. It also bears noting that the metal can easily be an alloy, like steel or brass. Likewise, open inorganic_stone_soil and add [SOIL_SAND] to any soil to turn it into sand suitable for making glass with.

None of these cheats require creating a new world. Turn peat into glass, basalt into platinum, and combine iron, diorite, and coal to make steel.

===Easy Metal===
Open reaction_smelter and change any reactions you like. Remove the [FUEL] tag.
to make them require no fuel. Remove the line(s) headed with [REAGENT:whatever] to make them require no reagents. For examples, here are the edited reactions for steel and adamantine.
<pre>

[NAME:make adamantine wafers]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[SKILL:SMELT]

It appears that, in some cases, starting out a new world with this in the reaction file can lead to all civilizations being Forgotten Beasts; thus, it may be better to add it after world creation, since Forgotten Beasts cannot work.

[NAME:make steel bars]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>
These cheats do not require a new world (because they only modify existing reactions), and allow my smelters to create steel and adamantine from nothing. It's probably easier, though, to mod some bulk stone into the ore you need and go from there.

===Create Wood===
Add this:
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_WOOD]
[NAME:create wood]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:5:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:PLANT_MAT:OAK:WOOD][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

'''Cheating''' is altering the game to make dwarf fortress easier. This is distinctly different from [[exploits]]. There are two main ways to alter the game: changing the game's raw source files (which are really just text files), and directly altering the game's memory (which requires special tools).

==Creature Token Modifications==
Modifying creature files does not require the creation of a new world. You can modify the physical attributes of a creature, make animals tamable and trainable, make your dwarves into short little bearded terminators, and much more.

===Speedy Dwarves===
Getting bored with slow dwarves?

Go into the creature_standard file and add the [SPEED:1] in somewhere in the top section of the entry.(or SPEED:0 if you're up to some psychedelic light speed traveling)

This will make your dwarves do the majority of their actions '''''super''''' fast, including moving, digging and workshop actions.

This may, ironically, lower FPS when a high population is present, but no more than what doing many actions at once would.

==Reaction Additions==
There are now two reaction files: reaction_smelter and reaction_other. Additions to these lists will not take effect until you generate a new world. Note that if you edit an existing reaction entry (leaving the [REACTION:NAME] line unchanged) rather than add a new one, you will not need to generate a new world.

===Free Gems===

===Easy Flux, Sand, and Ore===
Add [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] to any stone you have to turn it into a flux. This is in inorganic_stone_mineral, or inorganic_stone_layer Or, add [METAL_ORE:{metal name}:100] to turn it into an ore. It also bears noting that the metal can easily be an alloy, like steel or brass. Likewise, open inorganic_stone_soil and add [SOIL_SAND] to any soil to turn it into sand suitable for making glass with.

None of these cheats require creating a new world. Turn peat into glass, basalt into platinum, and combine iron, diorite, and coal to make steel.

===Easy Metal===
Open reaction_smelter and change any reactions you like. Remove the [FUEL] tag.
to make them require no fuel. Remove the line(s) headed with [REAGENT:whatever] to make them require no reagents. For examples, here are the edited reactions for steel and adamantine.

These cheats do not require a new world (because they only modify existing reactions), and allow my smelters to create steel and adamantine from nothing. It's probably easier, though, to mod some bulk stone into the ore you need and go from there.

v0.31:Cheating

'''Cheating''' is altering the game to make dwarf fortress easier. This is distinctly different from [[exploits]]. There are two main ways to alter the game: changing the game's raw source files (which are really just text files), and directly altering the game's memory (which requires special tools).

=Raw Editing=

Raw files are located in the raw/objects directory

The most common use of editing raw files is to get free items, such as gems, adamantine, or flux.

When changing the raw files, you may or may not need to create a new world in order for your changes to be reflected.

Generally speaking, ''modifications'' to an existing entry in a raw file don't require a new world. Altering existing reactions or creatures is an example of this.

However, when adding or deleting entries, you need to create a new world for the changes to take place, and when deleting, it can and probably will render your old world unplayable as attempting to play worlds generated before the deletion will cause an error.

==Creature Token Modifications==
Modifying creature files does not require the creation of a new world. You can modify the physical attributes of a creature, make animals tamable and trainable, make your dwarves into short little bearded terminators, and much more.

===Speedy Dwarves===
Getting bored with slow dwarves?

Go into the creature_standard file and add the [SPEED:1] in somewhere in the top section of the entry.(or SPEED:0 if you're up to some psychedelic light speed traveling)

This will make your dwarves do the majority of their actions '''''super''''' fast, including moving, digging and workshop actions.

This may, ironically, lower FPS when a high population is present, but no more than what doing many actions at once would.

==Reaction Additions==
There are now two reaction files: reaction_smelter and reaction_other. Additions to these lists will not take effect until you generate a new world. Note that if you edit an existing reaction entry (leaving the [REACTION:NAME] line unchanged) rather than add a new one, you will not need to generate a new world.

===Free Gems===
Fill in the name of a gem from the inorganic_stone_gem file and paste this in the reaction_smelter file to make your smelter spew out gems.
<pre>
[REACTION:FREE_(insert gem name)]
[NAME: make (insert gem name)]
[BUILDING:SMELTER:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:(insert gem name)]
[SKILL:SMELT]
</pre>
Note: You can change the skill used and the workshop, but make sure to keep it in the correct reaction file.
For convience, here are all the precious gems in the game.

===Easy Flux, Sand, and Ore===
Add [REACTION_CLASS:FLUX] to any stone you have to turn it into a flux. This is in inorganic_stone_mineral, or inorganic_stone_layer Or, add [METAL_ORE:{metal name}:100] to turn it into an ore. It also bears noting that the metal can easily be an alloy, like steel or brass. Likewise, open inorganic_stone_soil and add [SOIL_SAND] to any soil to turn it into sand suitable for making glass with.

None of these cheats require creating a new world. Turn peat into glass, basalt into platinum, and combine iron, diorite, and coal to make steel.
