'''Template:Dwarf''' can be used to display dwarves close to what they appear as in Dwarf Fortress. It can be used together with the [[:Template:Raw_Tile|raw tile template]], however it doesn't scale with the user's font size. This might lead to problems for users with uncommon settings.

== Usage ==

{{delete|Not necessary.}}

== Using the flowchart ==
This flowchart is meant to cover the rough steps to go from caravan to a fortress that works well enough to begin focusing on other projects. Begin at the "Start" node, then consider doing the necessary step to head to the next orange milestone. The order is not absolute, and the flowchart doesn't claim to be the best way to do things, but it can be helpful as a non-linear checklist toward your first fortress.

To learn how to do the things in this diagram, use the wiki, trial and error, or the forum.

Dwarf cancels task: Interrupted

2013-07-26T18:18:03Z

Resident Mario: old

This means that a civilian dwarf had line-of-sight to a non-friendly creature. It does not matter whether the creature can actually reach the dwarf. The cause can be anything from a [[horse]] or [[Hoary marmot|marmot]] (basically safe to ignore), a kobold thief (often harmless, will usually flee), potentially dangerous animals like [[cougar]]s (dispatch military or hunter), to a goblin ambusher (Oh-oh, bad news) or carp (which was one lethal).

v0.34:Dryland

2013-07-26T18:15:38Z

Resident Mario: Resident Mario moved page Dryland to DF2012:Dryland: Why is this in the root filename?

A '''dryland''' is a catch-all term for a [[biome]] with no real source of [[water]]. This article deals with keeping your [[dwarves]] alive in such an environment.

==Will your dwarves die of thirst?==
No, not normally. All dwarves prefer to drink [[alcohol]] over [[water]] thus as long as you have a steady supply of booze your dwarves will continue happily.

However [[injury|injured]] dwarves will drink water, and water only. In such a case the dwarf will eventually die.

==Hidden water==
Are you sure your biome has no water? Just because none is on the surface doesn't mean there isn't any to be had. You may have:

*[[Aquifer]]s. Simply digging down may yield an infinte water source.
*An [[Ocean]]. You will have to desalinate the water by running it through a [[screw pump]], but it'll do.
*[[Ice]]. You will need a source of [[magma]] to melt it, but it can be done.
*[[Murky pool]]s. Murky pools are surface ponds that will refill when it rains, and often dry out over summer.
*[[Underground river]]. Just like a normal [[river]], except you have no idea where it is or if you even have one!

==True drylands==
If your settlement doesn't have any of the above, you're kind of screwed. As long as you can keep your alcohol production up your dwarves won't die, but you may have to say goodbye to any and every dwarf that gets injured.

'''Utilities''' are third party applications useful for Dwarf Fortress players and modders, and this page serves as a list of them. Dwarf Fortress is a difficult game to play, and any help that can be had in the task is welcome help. This page lists utilities useful for modders and player alike. If you would like to add an article on a ''specific'' game utility to the wiki, please do so under the [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=102 Utility] namespace. Not included on this page: [[Main:Tileset repository|tileset repositories]] and [[DF2012:Graphics set repository|graphics set repositories]] have been given their own, separate page. [[Modding|Mods]] have also been listed under their own [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=104 Modification] namespace. To avoid namespace clutter websites ''are'' considered utilities, though they really aren't, and have been included.

==Filesharing==

=== [http://dffd.wimbli.com/ Dwarf Fortress File Depot] ===
The Dwarf Fortress File Upload Service - an excellent place to store mods, community games, tilesets and other files. Courtesy of [[User:Janus|Janus]]; for files related to Dwarf Fortress only.

=== [http://mkv25.net/dfma/ Dwarf Fortress Map Archive] ===
{{main|Utility:Dwarf Fortress Map Archive}}

The Dwarf Fortress Map Archive is a large collection of user-submitted maps and vidoes and a nice flash viewer for perusing them. Maps are uploaded, stored, and downloaded in a special compressed format created by the DF Map Compressor; videos are stored in a compressed version of Toady One's own video-recording format.

== 3D Visualizers ==

=== [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3882/ Fortress Overseer] ===
Fortress Overseer has been the only 3d visualizer since DF 2010, It has been completely rewritten and is currently updated to support DF 2012 (currently supporting versions 34.07 and 31.25). {{f|63484.0|Official forum thread}}

=== [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=70700.0 Isoworld 2.0] ===
Isoworld is an isometric world map viewer, which can display each of the detailed maps exported from Legends Mode. It also has a pictographic view which makes finding waterfalls easy.

Isoworld can link with DFhack to display a game view at full spatial resolution in wider context, including tracking the game view. This is particularly useful for adventure mode.

== Music and Sounds ==

=== [[Utility:SoundSense|SoundSense]] ===

SoundSense is a tool that parses game logs and reacts to game events with sound effects, incidental music and dwarfy comments.

[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60287 forum thread], download at [http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/ homepage].

== Interface tools ==
=== [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119575.0 DFHack Utility Plugins] ===
A collection of DFHack plugins that improve the in-game interface with features such as:
* Search function in screens with big lists.
* Ability to place furniture before it's built and have it automatically allocated when available.
* Ability to place constructions with box select (like laying designations), including easier material selection and open space placement (without having to wait till adjacent constructions are built).
* Easier pasturing, live happiness monitor, mouse support, stocks dashboard.

== Game manipulation tools ==

===[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 0.34.10.

====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
=====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/.
If you are using MacNewbie, it is located in "~/.config/UDP Software/".

Resident Mario: modernize.

{{quality|Exceptional|04:39, 26 July 2013 (UTC)}}

The '''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php Bay 12 Games Forums]''' are the main hub of fan-based activity and discussion surrounding the game. Users can ask questions about game play, exchange stories of their exploits, advertise their own contributions (mods, tools, pregenerated worlds), make suggestions for improvements, or discuss the game in a more general fashion. [[Toady One]] is known to read the forums and occasionally respond to posts when he sees fit. In the past [[bugs]] were also reported here, but they have since been moved into the domain of the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php Bug Tracker], although workarounds and such are still discussed on the wiki.

== Subforums ==
=== Bay 12 Games ===
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=8.0 Announcements]''': This is where Toady One posts general announcements, mostly the Bay 12 Games Report, a monthly report on the status of the game's development. It is read-only.

=== Dwarf Fortress ===
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0 DF Announcements]''': This is where announcements on Dwarf Fortress specifically are made, usually specifying new release. As a matter of procedure, the most recent announcement thread is open to fans, but the rest are locked.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0 DF Bug Reports]''': This used to be where bugs were reported, before the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php Bug Tracker] was created. New threads cannot be created, but old ones are still live, and occasional necromancy is common.
*'''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=5.0 DF Suggestions]''': Where suggestions on the game are made, and players can freely discuss ways of how the game could be improved. Any suggestions are welcome, ranging from minor changes to the display up to major additions like magic systems. While [[Toady One]] is known to visit this forum, non-trivial suggestions are very rarely implemented into the game. Vote counting will not win him over either.
*'''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=7.0 DF Gameplay Questions]''': This is the place where you can go if you encounter something you do not understand, which neither looks like a [[bug]] nor is explained sufficiently in the wiki. Questions about specific game mechanisms are common, but people also often ask for advice about how to implement certain ideas or features here. Topics range in complexity from "how do I start a farm?" to "is it possible to use perpetual motion to your advantage outside of power generation?"
*'''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=22.0 DF Wiki Discussion]''': A subforum of the above, this is where the wiki (you're looking at it) is discussed. Grounds for discussion is rather more niche than the other forums, so activity is low, but the wiki admins and contributors do watch it.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=11.0 DF Dwarf Mode Discussion]''' is especially dedicated to discussions about [[dwarf fortress mode]]. This forum usually contains discussions about either ideas for ways to play in [[fortress mode]] or experiences with [[fortress mode]]. The content therein ranges from anecdotal to inspirational - it is a place of humor, revelry, fun, and occasional !!SCIENCE!! alike.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=12.0 DF Adventure Mode Discussion]''' is the counterpart to the previously described forum. It is dedicated to discussions about [[adventurer mode]]. Like its [[fortress mode]] counterpart, this forum ranges from ideas to anecdotes as people describe both their experiences as well as their ideas for [[adventurer mode]] playing.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 DF Community Games & Stories]''', dedicated to discussions about community games and stories. In this forum, fans can advertise their community games, succession games, and the like and also handle the actually post exchange that is required for organizing such events. And they also exchange the stories of what happens in the game. Please note that, like the other forums, this forum does not offer upload facilities.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0 DF Modding]''' is dedicated to discussions about [[modding]]. Fans use it to advertise their mods, exchange experiences with the modding process, and also ask and answer questions about how to mod the game successfully. It has multiple subforums as well.
*'''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=2.0 DF General Discussion]''' is the catch for all forum for dwarf fortress. Any discussions that do not fit nicely in any of the other DF forums go here. Topics here range from random ranting only losely related to the game, over dwarf fortress' public image, fanart exchanges, general thoughts on the game, [[Toady One]], and the developments surrounding both. A noteworthy special feature is the Future of the Fortress threads started by [[Toady One]] as a community Q&A meant to discuss future development. This is the main source of dev news, alongside the dev notes.

=== Other Projects ===
*'''[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=1.0 Slaves to Armok: God of Blood]''' is the very first forum from the site and is dedicated to discussions concerning the predecessor of dwarf fortress. It was locked in 2010, but looking through it you can find some 2001-era Toady One commentary.
*'''[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=3.0 Curses]''' is dedicated to discussions about other ASCII based games by Bay 12 Games.

== Rules and suggestions ==
The forum rules have been more or less {{f|38443.msg642398#msg642398|laid out}} in this thread.

Some suggestions:

;Use the Search Function
The forums offer a search function (look in the upper right corner). The forums see a lot of activity day by day and thus chances are great that someone already asked the same question before or made a similar suggestion previously.

Please note that the search function offers searching a single forum or all forums, defaulting to the forum from where you visited the search function. There may be cases where people posted in an unexpected forum, so you might wish to search in all forums the issue you wish to discuss might fit in (for instance, questions about how to create certain structures in fortress mode could fit both in the DF Gameplay Questions or the DF Dwarf Mode Discussions subforums.

;Support Existing Threads
Instead of starting new threads, consider participating in threads already dealing with the issue. This is especially an important issue for suggestions as some of the obvious ones tend to resurface regularly.

Bloodline:Boatmurdered

2013-07-26T04:28:37Z

Resident Mario: =

{{quality|Fine|04:28, 26 July 2013 (UTC)}}
'''Boatmurdered''' was a [[succession game]] of Dwarf Fortress on the Something Awful forums from 2007. From this spawned an epic tale, incorporating hordes of belligerent dwarf-eating [[23a:elephant|elephant]]s, floods of biblical proportions, flaming [[23a:dog|puppies]], and more hilarious pranks. After many goblin raiders and elven traders were fried with floods of lava, there was a brief period of tranquility. Then one of the last few dwarves, unhappy from the recent defacement of a masterwork engraving, caught [[fire]] and started a fist fight with another dwarf (setting it on fire too), causing a [[tantrum]] and [[insanity]] spiral that eventually destroyed the whole fortress. To be fair, she'd given plenty of warnings that she was becoming unhinged, such as attempting to drink from the [[23a:magma flow|magma river]] and making numerous engravings depicting dwarves on fire, elephants killing dwarves, and a carving of a carving of cheese. How many other fortresses manage to create artifact caskets?

The entire saga can be [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/ read online], or downloaded to read offline [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4120 in PDF format]. As the editor says, the madness surrounding Boatmurdered speaks for itself. Be warned; the language contained within can cause necrosis of the ears, and should be avoided by [[children]], the stunningly susceptible to disease, [[kitten]]s, and other worthless [[Syndrome|disease]] spreaders.

There is also an animation of Boatmurdered being made by LavaLevel right now. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60750.0 Check its progress.] However it seems to have succumbed to the "Let's wait, OP will surely deliver!" Syndrome.

v0.34:Known bugs and issues

2013-07-26T03:51:49Z

Resident Mario: {{dffd}}

{{av}}
{{quality|Exceptional|01:38, 13 June 2012 (UTC)}}

Dwarf Fortress is a constant work in progress, and is thus full of '''bugs'''. Some of them are minor and completely harmless, some are small and annoying, and some are major and even game-changing. Some of the best-known bugs are compiled below; a compilation of all bugs, and their development status, can be found on the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php bug tracker]. Do '''not''' report bugs here; they should be sent to the Mantis BT instead.

Some bugs {{dffd|6741|have been fixed}} by a temporary binary patch made by Quietust and other users; hopefully these will be rolled into the next version of the game.

* {{bug|535}} Equipping weapons/armor on military is erratic. This is a long-standing bug that has been slowly but surely rolled back.
* {{bug|1582}} Injured dwarf in bed in stocked hospital ignored by idle doctors. Medical jobs are too low-priority, and will be ignored in favor of pretty much everything else, hauling included, forcing players that need to administer medical care to disable all other labors; and even then, doctors tend to idle a bit in between their jobs.
* {{bug|2712}} Weapons, especially whips, cut through steel armor like butter. [[Crossbow]]s firing metal bolts routinely pierce masterwork steel armor, and, counter-intuitively, whips cleave through it in combat.
* {{bug|1451}} Military equipment interferes with civilian equipment (picks/axes/crossbows/quivers). It is not possible to use a single axe for both [[wood cutter|wood cutting]] and combat, or a single pick for both [[miner|mining]] and combat. Crossbows in the hands of [[hunter]]s can also cause problems.
* {{bug|296}} Pools/smears/spatters of blood, dust and other materials multiply themselves, get tracked around too much. [[Contaminant]] physics are strange in Dwarf Fortress; instead of washing away, when exposed to running water, it will actually multiply to other tiles.
* {{bug|2780}} Aquatic vermin do not restock when [[fishing|fished]], resulting in guaranteed eventual [[extinction]].
* {{bug|412}} Nobles job priority is weird (trading, diagnose, talking with liaison and attend meeting jobs have extremely low priority). Many very necessary jobs get glutted out by insignificant things like hauling spare stone around, requiring labor management when you want something done.
* {{bug|4550}} Dodging into river/lava/from cliff etc. Apparently, dwarves are stupid. Related: they tend to get thrown off of [[waterfall]]s and die from fall damage because they did not account for the current.
* {{bug|425}} Dwarves Not Cleaning Blood. [[Cleaning]] is done erratically.
* {{Bug|5895}} Bins, bags used for hauling in situations when it is not necessary. This can lead to situations where items are "unavailable" because a dwarf is currently lugging them around in a bin/barrel/etc..
* {{Bug|5991}} Dwarf tries to build wall standing on the construction site (see bug report for possible workarounds).
* {{Bug|5312}} Undead reanimate too quickly (and forever) when killed in areas where corpses/etc. reanimate.
* {{Bug|2922}} Population Cap not working (see bug report for details).
* {{Bug|5097}} Names overwriting text with TrueType and {{Bug|5696}} strange gaps in report texts. Hitting F12 to toggle True Type can often get you around this problem.
* {{Bug|5986}} Designating large areas for smoothing slows game to a crawl.
* {{Bug|5994}} Destroying a wall empties the wood stockpile. Basically, deconstructing constructions can cause items in nearby stockpiles to "teleport" to that location.
* {{Bug|3190}} Long Patrol Negative Thoughts seem to escalate, even with long break. (Binary patch in bugreport.)
* {{Bug|4552}} Siegers waiting by bodies of dead leaders.
* {{Bug|136}} When embarking on large area, DF hits 2GB memory limit and crashes.
* When smelters are specified as a "Give" destination from a stockpile that does not possess any/all of the necessary materials, or are located inside a burrow, while one of the necessary materials is outside the burrow, the smelter makes those smelting options unavailable.

Armok

2013-07-26T03:47:54Z

Resident Mario: +

'''Armok''', God of [[Blood]], is the name of the mythical godhead in Dwarf Fortress, around whom the game is loosely based. Some have speculated that the player is Armok, since the dwarves are slaves to the player.

According to the lore of Dwarf Fortress' prequel, [http://www.bay12games.com/armok/ Slaves to Armok: God of Blood], Armok is the creator of the world and the in-game explanation for the random world generation:

''"Armok, the God of Blood, is just about the only constant in these chaotic random universes. A general sense of conflict keeps Armok appeased - when the universe becomes too boring it is set on the anvil of creation to be reforged."''

''"The destruction of the world by Armok will arise inevitably in most game worlds. As civilizations spread and the frontier closes, the world will start to look homogeneous. Armok, looking upon this decadence in disgust, will reform the world. Basically, when the universe has become too boring, it will be changed."''

Armok does not appear as a deity available for worshipping in Dwarf Fortress worlds... yet.

==Name Origin==

The name of the Dwarven God comes from the variable "arm_ok", which is from [[Toady One|Tarn Adams]]'s fantasy game, Dragslay (an early precursor of [[Dwarf Fortress]]). The variable was used to count the number of arms left, for inventory purposes. ([http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3549/interview_the_making_of_dwarf_.php?page=2 Source])

Link to Forum home page: [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/ '''Bay 12 Games'''/Forum]

The official Bay 12 Games Forums are the major hub of fan-based activity and discussion surrounding the game. Users can ask questions about game play, exchange stories of their exploits, advertise their own contributions (mods, tools, pregenerated worlds), make suggestions (which might inspire [[Toady One]] but have no binding nature), or discuss the game in a general fashion. [[Toady One]] is known to read the forums and respond to posts when he sees fit, but there is no guarantee for such a response nor any rights to it. One important function offered, which does regularly involve [[Toady One]], is the possibility to report [[bugs|Bug]]. But, usually, activity on the forums is between fans only.

==Rules==

Contrary to popular myth, there are rules and laws on the internet, just as everywhere else in the world.

While [[Toady One]] is very lenient in policing the forums, there are still rules of conduct you should try to abide by.

====Check the Wiki====

Before posting any questions, please try to find the answer to the question in the wiki. The wiki does offer a lot of information not found in the included help and thus is a useful resource.

The wiki is created by the fans and as such not perfect. Besides searching for the first term that comes to mind, you should also try searching for related terms. Sometimes, features are listed only within articles about some of their constituents.

====Check the Development Page====

[[Toady One]] also maintains a detailed [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html development page]. Besides listing the current developments, it also lists reported bugs as well as long-term plans and ideas [[Toady One]] wishes to implement eventually.

Regardless of whether you are planning to report a bug, ask a question about a really unexpected behavior of the game, or have a good idea for new game features, this page can save you a lot of time as it keeps you from repeating what is already known.

The development page is actually divided into several parts for easier theme based searching. If you are not sure where to look concerning an issue, there is also the [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_single.html consolidated development page] which tries to summarize all the other pages. This can be used together with your browser's search feature to find things quickly.

====Use the Search Function====

The forums offer a search function (look in the upper right corner). The forums see a lot of activity day by day and thus chances are great that someone already asked the same question before or made a similar suggestion previously.

Please note that the search function offers searching a single forum or all forums, defaulting to the forum from where you visited the search function. There may be cases where people posted in an unexpected forum, so you might wish to search in all forums the issue you wish to discuss might fit in (for instance, questions about how to create certain structures in fortress mode could fit both in the DF Gameplay Questions or the DF Dwarf Mode Discussions subforums.

====Support Existing Threads====

Instead of starting new threads, consider participating in threads already dealing with the issue. This is especially an important issue for suggestions as some of the obvious ones tend to resurface regularly.

=== Important threads ===

The following are threads which are considered useful for handling specific discussions.

==== Threads to Read ====
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/eternal_voting.php DF Eternal Suggestion Voting] - Not strictly a thread (though [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=24818.0 there is one associated with it]) - this is essentially the most recent (and dynamic) incarnation of the master list of popular suggestions - very useful as an index to find the thread for that suggestion that, no, you're ''not'' the first to think of.
''need more...''
==== Threads to Watch ====
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=21498.645 The NEW Future of the Fortress] - [[Toady One]] answers questions about new/planned features (don't forget to read the [[dev logs]].
''need more...''
==== Historical perspective ====
This is the list as it was when this page was created in April. Some links are broken due to the forum move and inability to find the thread again, and all of them are somewhat old.

* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=4479 The BIGGEST gameplay problems with DF] - This thread has seen a major discussion about what people consider major obstacles for full enjoyment of the game. As such, it also includes ideas for solutions. Last active in September.
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=24622.0 Creating a magic system?] - This is one of the major discussions about the possible implementation of magic in Dwarf Fortress. The topic is active at the moment. (12.15.2008)
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=3192 Magic: By dwarfs for dwarfs] - This is one of the major discussions about possible dwarven magic. Last active in June.
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=4617.0 Occam's Razor: Dwarven Magic] - Another discussion about dwarven magic. Last active in March.
* [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=4731.0 Occam's Razor: Elven Magic] - Despite the title, the discussion is not limited to elven magic. Last active in March.
* Top 3 Suggestions - This is a list of the most common/preffered suggestions, add your favourites. If what you planned to post is listed here then don't make a new thread. Could not locate a thread by this name.
* Multiplayer Mod - Multiplayer is NOT being implemented in the forseeable future and therefore if you wish to discuss the problem it goes in the modding forum. Could not locate a thread by this name
* Stone "problem" - A lot of people have problems with the clutter of stone in a fortress and suggestions for ways of dealing with it. Search the suggestions forum for topics with the word 'stone' in the subject for another 50 examples. Could not locate a thread by this name

==Location==

The official Bay 12 Games Forums can be found [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php here].

==Subforums==

The official Bay 12 Games Forums consist of several subforums, most, but not all of which are concerned with Dwarf Fortress.

===Announcements===

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=8.0 forum] is a place where [[Toady One]] provides general announcements about Bay 12 Games. It does not offer any interactivity for fans.

=== Dwarf Fortress ===

====DF Announcements====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0 forum] is dedicated to announcements about Dwarf Fortress only. Besides the official statements by [[Toady One]], the threads here regularly see comments by fans, ranging from crash bug reports up to comments and praise about what has been announced (usually new release versions).

====DF Bug Reports====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0 forum] has a special role within the forums. This is the place where you should initially post bug reports. If the [[bug]] is already [[bug|known]], other fans may inform you about this. Likewise, if it is not a [[bug]] but a misunderstanding, it is likely to be resolved with the help of senior fans. If it is indeed a hitherto unknown [[bug]], [[Toady One]] himself may respond in your thread and most likely ask for necessary details or even a save file so he can check and eventually fix the [[bug]].

====DF Suggestions====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 forum] is the place where fans can freely discuss ways of how the game could be improved. Any suggestions are welcome, ranging from minor changes to the display up to major additions like magic systems.

While [[Toady One]] is known to visit this forum, these suggestions have no special status for him. If he likes an idea, he might implement it, but if not, the idea is not implemented. Because of this non-binding nature, vote counting (which is also not automatically supported by the forums which are lacking a poll feature) is meaningless and [[Toady One]] himself has recommended to refrain from using unqualified support posts (in other words, if you do like or dislike a suggestion, you should also state why you feel that way).

Please keep in mind that [[Toady One]] is providing all of this voluntarily. You may try to outline what you consider a good idea and try to make it look appealing, but there are no obligations on [[Toady One]]'s part. Threatening or trying to blackmail [[Toady One]] is therefore meaningless.

====DF Gameplay Questions====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=7.0 forum] is the place where you can go if you encounter something you do not understand, which neither looks like a [[bug]] nor is explained sufficiently in the wiki.

Questions about specific game mechanisms are common, but people also often ask for advice about how to implement certain ideas or features there.

====DF Dwarf Mode Discussion====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=11.0 forum] is especially dedicated to discussions about [[dwarf fortress mode]].

This forum usually contains discussions about either ideas for ways to play in [[fortress mode]] or experiences with [[fortress mode]]. The content therefore ranges from anecdotal to inspirational.

====DF Adventure Mode Discussion====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=12.0 forum] is the counterpart to the previously described forum. It is dedicated to discussions about [[adventurer mode]].

Like its [[fortress mode]] counterpart, this forum ranges from ideas to anecdotes as people describe both their experiences as well as their ideas for [[adventurer mode]] playing.

====DF Community Games & Stories====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 forum] is the youngest of the forums and dedicated to discussions about community games and stories.

In this forum, fans can advertise their community games, succession games, and the like and also handle the actually post exchange that is required for organizing such events. And they also exchange the stories of what happens in the game. Please note that, like the other forums, this forum does not offer upload facilities.

====DF Modding====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0 forum] is dedicated to discussions about [[modding]].

Fans use it to advertise their mods, exchange experiences with the modding process, and also ask and answer questions about how to mod the game successfully.

====DF General Discussion====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0 forum] is the catch for all forum for dwarf fortress. Any discussions that do not fit nicely in any of the other DF forums go here.

Topics here range from random ranting only losely related to the game, over dwarf fortress' public image, fanart exchanges, general thoughts on the game, [[Toady One]], and the developments surrounding both.

A noteworthy special feature are the Future of the Fortress threads started by [[Toady One]] himself to discuss the development. This feature is noteworthy since its content somewhat overlaps with the DF Announcement forum and the suggestion forum.

===Other Projects===

====Slaves to Armok: God of Blood====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0 forum] is dedicated to discussions concerning the predecessor of dwarf fortress.

====Curses====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=3.0 forum] is dedicated to discussions about other ASCII based games by Bay 12 Games.

====Other Games====

This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0 forum] is dedicated to discussions about non-ASCII games by Bay 12 Games as well as gaming in general.

===Finally...===
====Various Nonsense====
This [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=9.0 forum] is dedicated to meaningless and general banter. People discuss politics, their pen names, riddles, and heaven knows what else there.

====Forum Games and Roleplaying====
[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0 Exactly what it says on the tin.]

v0.34:Fluffy wambler

2013-07-26T03:41:31Z

Resident Mario: /* Trivia */ f

{{creaturedesc}}

'''Fluffy wamblers''' are small humanoids that can be found the world over in [[good]] regions. They are known and beloved for their warm hearts, gentle natures, and stumble bumblings. Despite their status as [[vermin|agricultural pests]], it's rare to find a being that actually finds them offensive. They are widely held to be "adorable", and many [[dwarf|dwarves]] consider them to be [[food|a delicacy]].

==Description==

Fluffy wamblers are about 1/3 smaller than a domestic [[cat]]. They are roughly humanoid in shape, with singular arms and legs devoid of toes, claws, or other extremities. They possess two black eyes and a nose, but lack any other distinguishing features, and their entire bodies are covered in white fur known as 'fluff.' Their uniformity makes it difficult to tell two different wamblers apart.

==Biology==

Wamblers lack bones, blood vessels, mouth parts, nerves, and differentiated organs of any sort, but they require nourishment as much as any creature. Current theory suggests they absorb nutrients directly through the skin and into their "pudge", a purple, fat-like substance that uniformly fills the wambler's entire body. This pudge appears to act as a super-organ that regulates and provides for the wambler's entire metabolism and structure.

Wamblers maintain a body temperature slightly higher than that of dwarves. They appear to be immune to sickness and are not known to suffer infection of any kind. There is no specific term for any hypothetical wambler offspring; a live wambler birthing has never been seen.

One case exists of a wambler possibly resurrecting itself deep under ground. The corpse was carried many levels underground by a cat into an active mining area well away from any sort of entrance. Then later the corpse was missing and a live wambler was wandering around down in the mining area 13 floors down underground. Up to that point, no other live wamblers had been seen anywhere within the tunnels.

==Behavior==

Fluffy wamblers are extremely common in good regions of any sort. They live in groups of up to fifty in burrows beneath the ground. They can eat food stored in [[stockpile|stockpiles]], occasionally managing to gnaw through a [[barrel]] or a [[bag]] in order to do so, though they're unable to penetrate anything but a flimsy container.

They are slow movers, only seen during the day. Wamblers are not wholly benign and may in fact display aggression when threatened, an act which is almost always futile, as they have power to harm only the feeblest of creatures.

Wamblers may be domesticated by a resident [[animal trainer]], and fetch a market value approximate to that of a [[dog]].

==Trivia==

Fluffy wamblers are surprisingly dense when traveling at high velocities. There was {{f|56935.0|at least one}} reported slaying of a [[bronze colossus]] using a thrown fluffy wambler as a [[weapon]]. News of this incident has served to increase the wambler's popular appeal.

Civilizations that use 'good' animals and animal materials (and have no qualms about killing animals) can make clothes out of wambler fluff, a prized, yet inexpensive, insulating fabric.

DFConfig is a graphical utility for altering [[d_init.txt]] settings. A standalone version can be downloaded from {{dffd|2563|here}}; the main {{f|59933|forum thread}} is here. The utility is integrated into the [[Utility:Lazy Newb Pack|Lazy Newb Pack]]—in fact, it's what the pack is built on—but users looking to "build their own" distributions can use the standalone version.
