[[Stockpile]]s can be created almost anywhere, can have almost any size, and have many different options. Choosing where to place them, how big to make them, and how to configure their settings constitutes the art of '''stockpile design'''. Efficient stockpile design is one of the most critical aspects of overall fortress efficiency. Stockpile and workflow design is, perhaps, the third most important thing you need to do in your fortress, after keeping dwarves fed and protected. A fortress with poor stockpile layouts will grind to an [[FPS]] death much faster than one designed with efficiency in mind.

== Avoiding hauling-caused job cancellations ==
{{Outdatedsection}}
:Cancellation due to bins were supposed to have been fixed in [[Release_information/50.01|50.01]] and be much less of a problem now, but this section needs in game verification of whether any of these are still issues.
One of the major problems you will face in a fortress with inefficient stockpile design is the endless "spam" of job cancellations due to items being hauled. While an item is being hauled, ''or is inside a container which is tasked for hauling'', it can't be used. If a hauling job takes a month, then all the items involved in that job are unavailable for an entire month.

The solution to this issue is to minimize the amount of time a container full of items spends being hauled, either by avoiding the use of containers altogether, or by minimizing the distance a container will travel.

The classic example of this problem is the seed stockpile. Your planters need seeds to sow crops in farm plots. Seeds are stored in food stockpiles, in [[bag]]s; the bags in turn will be stored in [[barrel]]s or large pots if you allow it, and if enough empty barrels/pots are available. If you simply create a food stockpile next to the farm, and disable everything except seeds, the default settings will allow the use of barrels to store the seed bags. This will lead to job cancellations. Let's take a closer look at why this happens.

In the "stockpile at rest" (when no new seeds have been generated in a long time), we will most likely have 1 or 2 barrels full of seed bags, plus one empty barrel. (All barrel- and bin-using stockpiles try to keep one empty container for future use.) The barrels can hold a huge number of seed bags, so there will be a small number of very full barrels.

Now, suppose some dwarf eats a [[plump helmet]] and generates a plump helmet spawn. The stockpile will eventually realize this has occurred, and will generate a job to acquire the seed. If there is already a bag of plump helmet spawn in the stockpile, then the job will be "Store Item in Bag". Some dwarf will be assigned to take the bag of plump helmet spawn ''out'' of the stockpile, bring it to the dining room where the seed is, and put the seed into the bag. However, as soon as this job has been '''created''', the bag is marked as being part of the hauling job. All the seeds in it are now unavailable for use -- and the dwarf hasn't even picked it up yet!

But it gets worse. Once the bag has been taken to the dining room and has acquired one (or possibly several) new seeds, the stockpile will generate another job to bring the bag back. Since there is a non-full barrel already in the stockpile, the job will be "Store Item in Barrel". Some dwarf will be assigned to take the barrel ''out'' of the stockpile, drag it to the dining room where the bag is, and put the bag into the barrel. As soon as this job is created, the '''whole barrel full of seed bags''' (which may be every seed in the entire fortress) is marked for hauling and is unavailable for any other purpose, including planting crops. The planter can't use any of those seeds until the barrel has been dragged out, and then finally dragged back to the original stockpile. And if any new seeds have been generated while that's going on, then the cycle never ends.

There are a few designs that try to mitigate this problem. The simplest design is to '''disallow barrels''' in the seed stockpile. Seeds will continue to be stored in bags (you cannot stop this by any means, if empty, unforbidden bags exist). You will continue to get some planting job cancellations when a bag is removed to pick up new seeds, but it is nowhere near as bad as the situation you get with barrels.

== Multiple stockpile designs ==

=== Double stockpile ===

Another design that works well for seeds uses two stockpiles. The first stockpile is set to "take from anywhere", and disallows barrels. This stockpile is typically quite small, because it only holds items temporarily. The second stockpile is set to "take from links only", and is linked to take from the first stockpile (and the two stockpiles are extremely close together). This second stockpile may permit barrels. This design gives you the increased storage capacity of the stockpile with containers (for long term storage), while minimizing the amount of the time the barrels spend out of their stockpile. Rather than being dragged all the way from the seed stockpile to the dining room (or still, or farmer's workshop, etc.) the barrel only has to move a few tiles to the neighboring stockpile.

Neither of these designs will completely eliminate job cancellations, but they reduce the spam (and the time a planter spends waiting for seeds) immensely.

The double-stockpile design is also particularly good for heavy items, like armor. An armor stockpile that accepts items from anywhere and permits bins will cause dwarves to drag bins full of metal armor all the way down to the forges and back. If you're using magma forges a hundred levels down, along corridors that have to twist around caverns, such a trip can take literally weeks. The armor in that bin is unavailable for that entire time. But if you make a small "feeder" stockpile with no bins that takes from anywhere, dwarves will simply carry pieces of armor one at a time from the forge to the feeder stockpile. A larger long-term storage stockpile has bins, takes from links only, and takes from the nearby feeder stockpile. The heavy bins will only have to be moved a few tiles, and the armor in them is unavailable for a much shorter time.

=== Single source distribution ===

This design works well for inputs that come from a single location (e.g. plants from [[farming|farm plots]]), and are used in many other locations. Rather than simply putting a plant stockpile by each workshop that uses plants (which would mean a great deal of hauling barrels from those workshops to the farm plots to pick up new plants), place one "source" plant stockpile by the farms which disallows barrels, and takes from anywhere. All the farm crops will go there first (directly, because no barrels are involved).

Now, place a plant stockpile by each workshop that uses plants ([[still]], [[farmer's workshop]], etc.), set it to take from links only, and link it to take from the "source" stockpile. Ideally, each of these workshop-feeding stockpiles will take only an appropriately chosen subset of the plants (the still takes only brewable plants, while the farmer's workshop for the textile industry only takes plants that can be processed into [[thread]], and so on). You may choose whether to allow barrels on a case by case basis, depending on how many of each plant you expect to have at once, how time-critical their processing is, etc.

If you are so inclined, you can use a [[Exploit#The_Minecart_Stop|quantum stockpile]] as the "source". This allows an infinite amount of storage in a tiny space. In the specific case of plants, this means your harvest ''always'' has somewhere to go, and will never wilt on the ground (unless your haulers are all busy elsewhere).

== Workshop layout for efficient hauling ==

It is virtually impossible to discuss stockpile design without simultaneously addressing workshop (or workflow) design. They are two sides of the same coin.

Most workshops take some items as ''input'' and produce other items as ''output''. Consider an entire chain of workshops and products from raw materials to finished products. The closer each workshop's inputs are, the faster your dwarves can process them. When the outputs are in turn used as inputs in another workshop, it makes sense to keep those two workshops close together, to minimize the amount of distance each intermediate product has to move. In many cases, you may not even ''need'' a stockpile for the intermediate products; just let them sit in the first workshop until the second workshop is ready for them. (This depends on the workshop and the products.)

It's also worth mentioning that heavily congested corridors are extremely inefficient. Your most heavily traveled tunnels should be at ''least'' two tiles wide, and three tiles is better. When dwarves have to squeeze past each other, one of them has to stop moving to let the other go by. Worse, dwarves who are ''about'' to collide will run a path-finding algorithm (which takes computer time), and if an alternative route is available, they'll go out of their way - possibly a ''long'' way out of their way - rather than simply stop and let the other dwarf squeeze by. Try to avoid this.

=== Stockpile placement ===

One strategy is to place the feeder stockpile immediately around the workshop. This works well for single workshops with just one input (like a [[mason's workshop|mason's]] or [[mechanic's workshop]]).

SSSSS S feeder stockpile
SWWWS W workshop
SWWWS
SWWWS
SSSSS

Another strategy is to put the workshop's stockpile above or below it. This keeps the stockpiles close to the workshops, and lets the workshops expand, even adding workshops on additional Z-levels as necessary. It works particularly well with multiple similar workshops working off the same stockpile.

== Specific industry designs ==

=== Farm-centric ===

[[Farming|Farms]] feed a wide array of workshops. Plants from farms may directly feed the [[kitchen]], [[still]], [[millstone]] (or [[quern]]) and [[farmer's workshop]]. The mill and farmer's workshop feed the [[loom]] and [[dyer]] which feed the [[clothier]]. Farms are in turn supplied seeds from the still, mill, farmer's workshop and dining rooms, completing the cycle of plant life.

As such, it's a good idea to design all (or at least, many) of these workshops and their [[stockpile]]s around each other. Above-ground farms can only be built in certain places, and underground farms are much ''easier'' to build in soil layers, so in many cases this dictates the location and layout.

=== Butcher & Tanning ===

Because tanners are supplied directly from a butcher it's best to put them right next to each other. Designate a refuse stockpile taking Corpses for the butcher. Let the hides sit in the [[butcher's shop]], and the tanner will take them directly to the [[tanner's shop]] with no hauling jobs required.

Consider placing a [[stockpile#Refuse|refuse stockpile]] somewhere behind an airlock (to keep out the [[miasma]]), to take the cartilage and other useless by-products.

* Note: When near a [[necromancer|necromancer tower]], butcher shops and refuse piles where corpses are collected should be kept within the fortress out of line of sight of any necromancer. When in an evil [[biome]] which causes the dead to reanimate, corpses should be disposed of promptly, preferably in magma.

=== Kitchen ===

A food stockpile accepting meat/fish, raw edible [[crop|plants]]*†, [[cheese]], [[Quarry bush|leaves]], cookable [[millstone|milled]] plants (everything but the [[dye|dyes]]), [[fat]]†, cookable [[extract|extracts]] ([[Dwarven syrup]] and all the [[milk|milks]]†). If you cook [[Alcohol|booze]], include that. If you want to reserve some edible plants for [[still|brewing]], leave them out. Allow the maximum barrels. Remember to turn off prepared food.
:''(* [[plump helmet]], [[muck root]], [[bloated tuber]], [[prickle berry]], [[strawberry]], [[rat weed]], [[fisher berry]] and [[sun berry]])'' 
:''(† These items generally have better uses than cooking: [[milk]] for [[cheese]], [[fat]] for [[tallow]] which is used in [[soap]] and [[crop|plants]] for brewing as cooking will not return seeds. See [[kitchen]] for more information.)''

=== Brewing ===

A food stockpile accepting brewable [[plant|plants]]. Some of these have other uses, like pig tail for making thread, so you might want to disallow them if you plan on using them for something else. Remember to turn off prepared food.

Also include a barrel stockpile near your [[still]] to ensure a steady supply of empty barrels.

== Use of wheelbarrows ==

[[Wheelbarrow]]s are tremendously useful tools, when properly applied. They allow a dwarf to move a single item at the dwarf's normal walking speed, ''regardless of the item's weight''. But they have trade-offs, so they should not be used in every stockpile.

A major trade-off is that the dwarf has to walk to the stockpile first to fetch the wheelbarrow, then take the wheelbarrow to the item, and finally back to the stockpile. So, each hauling job may involve a much greater travel distance, and even though all the walking done at full speed, the total time spent may actually increase if you aren't careful.

Wheelbarrows are used by default in stone stockpiles, and for good reason -- stones are ''heavy''! Dwarves, especially [[Attribute#Strength|weak]] ones, will move extremely slowly when hauling a stone without a wheelbarrow or [[minecart]]. It is strongly recommend that if you have any workshops which process stones, you use a feeder stockpile near them (linked to give to the workshop, so the mason doesn't carry a stone all the way from her bedroom!), and use wheelbarrows in that stockpile. This way, the stone is only ever carried by hand for a few tiles, from the stockpile to the workshop, by the mason/mechanic/craftsdwarf doing the work.

Furniture stockpiles are another good use of wheelbarrows, as many pieces of furniture are extremely heavy (a granite statue weighs 156Γ, and a gold statue weighs 1159Γ, despite being made out of 3 gold bars that weigh 115Γ apiece -- dwarves aren't great at math).

By contrast, wheelbarrows are not a great choice for a wood stockpile. Most logs of wood weigh about 30Γ, which will not slow a dwarf of average strength. Forcing the use of wheelbarrows would just increase the time spent per log, as well as reducing the number of simultaneous log hauling jobs. (Weak or very weak dwarves ''will'' be slowed when hauling typical logs; you may wish to disable wood hauling on these dwarves. Ironically, very weak dwarves make great stone haulers, because they can push a wheelbarrow perfectly well.)

Ziusudra: /* Other */ clarified that dig cancel toggles stop even the announcement (only tested damp, not warm), added announcement link

{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{av}}
:[[File:v50_standing_orders_preview.png|300px|right]]'''''Standing orders''' are non-military orders that apply to the entire fortress, including civilians. If you were looking for information on how to get your military to patrol or defend areas without actively managing them, see '''[[Scheduling]]'''. If you were looking for information on how to order your squads to move around on command and attack designated creatures, see '''[[Squads]]'''.

'''Standing orders''' that apply to the whole fortress can be accessed by opening the Labor menu with {{Menu icon|y}} and then clicking on the '''Standing orders''' tab.

==Automated Workshops==
* '''Automatically weave all thread''' toggles whether [[loom]]s will automatically weave available thread (or available dyed thread) into cloth
* '''Use any cloth''' toggles whether [[clothier's shop]]s will use only dyed cloth or all cloth. Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of the best quality possible.
* '''Automatically collect webs''' toggles whether [[weaver]]s will automatically go out and collect spider [[web]]s
* '''Slaughter any marked animal''' toggles whether animals marked for slaughter will automatically add slaughter tasks to [[butcher's shop]]s
* '''Automatically butcher carcasses''' toggles whether butcherable corpses will have butcher tasks automatically generated at [[butcher's shop]]s
* '''Automatically clean fish''' toggles whether "prepare raw fish" tasks will be automatically added to [[fishery]]s after raw fish are caught
* '''Automate kitchen''' toggles whether automatic [[reactions]] ("render fat") will be added at [[kitchen]]s

==Hauling==
* '''Workers gather animals''' toggles whether dwarves will move caged [[animal]]s to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather food''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[food]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather furniture''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[furniture]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather bodies''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[corpse]]s to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather minerals''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[stone]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather wood''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[wood]] to a stockpile

==Refuse and dumping==
Dwarves can do different things with different types of [[refuse]].

You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether by toggling off '''Workers gather refuse''' for a smelly fort, or toggle on '''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves.

Various refuse types can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump [[activity zone]]). Setting a type of refuse as "dump" will make dwarves start automatically dumping refuse of that type, even ones pre-stored in a refuse stockpile.

NOTE: If you have outdoor refuse stockpiles set up with give and take chains (to shift garbage away from your fortress, for example,) you must turn on collecting outdoor refuse if you want your dwarves to move the piles.

*'''Workers gather refuse''' toggles whether dwarves will ignore refuse completely
*'''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' toggles whether dwarves will gather refuse [[Tile_attributes|outside]]
*'''Workers ignore outdoor vermin remains''' toggles whether dwarves will gather [[vermin]] remains from outside (only available when '''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' is on)
*'''Workers save corpses''' toggles whether [[corpse]]s, [[body part]]s, and other parts not applied to the options below are stored or dumped, including [[Ivory|ivory/teeth]], [[horn]]s, [[nervous tissue]], and [[cartilage]]
*'''Workers save skulls''' toggles whether [[skull]]s are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save bones''' [[bone]]s are stored or dumped

==Sieges and forbidding==
Dwarves can automatically [[forbid]] certain types of items, automatically forbid these items only during sieges, or not automatically forbid them at all.
*'''Forbid used ammunition''' toggles whether shot ammunition is automatically forbidden
*'''Claim your dead''' toggles whether dead citizens are automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid your death items''' toggles whether dead citizens' items are automatically forbidden
*'''Claim other dead''' toggles whether other dead creatures are automatically forbidden
*'''Claim other death items''' toggles whether other dead creatures' items are automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid floor/wall cleaning''' toggles when dwarves will clean contaminants such as [[vomit]] and [[blood]] from floors and walls.
*'''Forbid trap cleaning''' toggles when dwarves will clean [[trap]]s.
*'''Forbid trap rearming''' toggles when dwarves will rearm traps.
*'''Forbid cages from sprung traps''' toggles whether filled cages from traps will be automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid toppled building items''' toggles whether remnants of [[building destroyer|smashed buildings]] will be automatically forbidden

==Chores==
The Chores tab allows you to select what tasks [[children]] will automatically do. You can select '''Children don't do chores''' to forbid all children from doing work tasks or toggle tasks from the list of "Feeding Patients/Prisoners", "Milking", hauling tasks, "Cleaning", and "Lever Operation". The tab lists all of the children in your fort and you can also select individual children to do either all or none of the tasks you've selected. If either list has a scroll bar, only click the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar to scroll the list; otherwise (after scrolling) the selecting and deselecting of children or options might not work (until the menu is closed and reopened){{bug|13461}}.

==Other==

Vomit

Ziusudra: added Cleaning link

{{Quality|Superior}}
{{av}}
[[File:vomit_tiles_v50.png|right]]
:''For removing vomit see [[Cleaning]]''
Under certain conditions, [[creature]]s (such as your [[dwarf|dwarves]]) will '''vomit''', creating a [[contaminant|puddle of vomit]]. This may occur from an injury to an organ (usually the stomach, pancreas, and such), or from [[cave adaptation]]. Vomiting does not seem to create an unhappy thought ("nauseated by the sun" is from cave adaptation). Eating too much in [[adventurer mode]] will cause an adventurer to vomit. After vomiting once, a creature will begin to retch, bringing up nothing. The retching will continue in place of vomiting until the creature eats again. For example, dwarves that have been stationed for too long without food or water will occasionally eat vomit, causing an unhappy thought.

[[Titan]]s, [[forgotten beast]]s, and [[demon]]s are occasionally made of vomit, though, unless paired with a dangerous attack, these creatures are relatively weak due to liquids like vomit being extremely fragile to damage.

Aquifer

2026-07-10T09:53:10Z

Ziusudra: reworded bits to account for standing order dig cancel option

{{Quality|Superior}}
{{av}}
[[File:aquifer_preview.png|right]]
An '''aquifer''' is a subterranean [[layer]] of [[soil]] or [[stone]] that holds groundwater. Once exposed it will start leaking [[water]], which can lead to a lot of [[Fun]] [[flood]]ing if left unmanaged. Each [[embark]] tile within the embark rectangle might contain an aquifer.

== Leaking ==
Aquifer tiles produce water in any ''neighboring'' open tiles – '''north, south, east, west,''' and '''below'''. The amount of water an aquifer produces depends on what type it is. '''Heavy aquifers''' are faster to produce water and much harder to manage compared to '''light aquifers'''. Aquifers cannot be drained; the groundwater is limitless, with even a single isolated tile leaking water forever. However, [[smoothing|smoothed]], mined, carved staircase, or [[channel]]ed aquifer tiles no longer produce water. Aquifers located in [[ocean]] [[biome]]s will produce salty water; aquifers in other biomes will produce freshwater.

== Identifying ==
If you are digging an up/down staircase in the downward direction and you hit an aquifer, the aquifer tile will be revealed as [[damp stone|damp soil]] or stone and the dig designation cancelled for that tile, though the cancellation can be disabled in [[Standing_orders#Other|Standing orders]]{{version|53.12}}. If you are mining horizontally, you will similarly be warned of "damp stone" before breaching the aquifer. If there is no water next to or above these tiles, these are aquifer tiles. If you are digging an up/down staircase in the ''upward'' direction, or a ramp, and you hit an aquifer from below, the aquifer tile will immediately start producing water in the stairwell.

== Types of aquifers ==
[[File:aqua_varied.png|thumb|158px|Embark screen: Area with a varied aquifer.]]
The type of aquifers contained within the [[embark]] location can be reviewed in the [[embark screen]], and each tile in the embark rectangle (default 4×4) may contain an aquifer independently of the others. In addition to heavy or light aquifer, ''Dwarf Fortress'' can also display "Varied aquifer" if both types are present within the embark rectangle (also note that the biomes of neighboring tiles can "spill over" into a tile, resulting in different, unannounced aquifers in those parts).

=== Light aquifers ===
Light aquifers are by far the most common (being ~19 out of every 20 aquifers), and produce water slowly enough that they can easily be penetrated with minimal effort by digging out one level at a time and walling it off reasonably quickly. Light aquifers can be useful for low-water applications such as slowly filling a cistern for wells, or feeding a [[waterfall]].

An open tile will receive water from a light aquifer only if it is directly '''north of, south of, east of, west of, or below''' a tile of the aquifer (not in the tile '''above''' them, nor in any diagonally-adjacent tiles). The amount of water that the open tile receives is random, on average four per month, possibly reaching as low as two or as high as six. The same amount of water is received regardless of the number of adjacent aquifer tiles.

Since water will leak into tiles '''below''' an aquifer, you must dig out and wall off or smooth the same tiles in every single damp [[Z-level]] you wish to utilize, or else find all lower z-levels flooded from a seemingly unknown source; the rough aquifer walls above. It may seem as though the [[floor]] is leaking water, but it is actually the ceiling. There is no need to smooth or construct floors, as only rough wall tiles will leak water. However, if what you're trying to do is dig out a cistern, the most efficient way is to simply dig a large area out from directly under an aquifer layer, since every single tile will fill with water at a steady rate until it reaches 7/7. You'll know you're digging in the right level to make a cistern when every single tile you're trying to dig out is damp stone, but the layer below is dry.

If you wish to excavate a large area within a light aquifer without painstakingly and continually walling it off, dig regular drains to an open area in a non-aquifer layer where the water can evaporate more quickly than it arrives. Note, however, that the open area that the water drains to will need to be much larger than the area of the aquifer that has been dug out. Or drain the water off the edge of the map.

Unlike heavy aquifers, light aquifer tiles do not absorb (drain away) water.

Although digging through light aquifer walls is not very dangerous, your dwarves will continuously cancel designations with the "damp stone" warning with each new tile revealed, unless that is disabled in [[Standing_orders#Other|Standing orders]]{{version|53.12}}, otherwise the player must repeatedly re-designate light aquifer squares to get the dwarves to mine it, making it a tedious affair.

=== Heavy aquifers ===
Unlike light aquifers, heavy aquifers produce water almost immediately, effectively halting excavation at or 1 z-level below the aquifer level. This, in conjunction with the fact that they are often located in areas rich in [[loam]] and [[sand]], makes it difficult to find great quantities of [[stone]] in areas with heavy aquifers, making them more challenging.

Rough heavy aquifer walls also act as an infinite ''sink'' for water, just like an open map edge. A single aquifer tile can absorb any amount of [[pressure|pressurized]] water each tick, limited only by the supply. One less obvious consequence is that if an opening is made through a multi-layer aquifer, only the lowest opened layer will ever fill with water.

Empirically, heavy aquifers gain approximately 1/7 water every 14 ticks, though production has been observed to vary from 2-28 ticks. This rate does not appear to change significantly based on the number of adjacent aquifer tiles.

== Where they are found ==
Aquifers appear based on the drainage of the terrain. Low elevations - particularly those near [[river]]s and oceans - are more prone to having an aquifer present, while locations closer to mountains are much less likely, but still possible. Depending on the [[embark]] location's biomes, you may embark to an area containing no aquifers, or up to several aquifers throughout your map.

Layers which '''can''' contain aquifers:
{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|

Layers which '''cannot''' contain aquifers, despite their names suggesting otherwise:
{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
* [[clay]]
* [[silty clay]]
* [[sandy clay]]
* [[clay loam]]
* [[siltstone]]
* [[mudstone]]
* [[claystone]]
}}

== Working in aquifers ==
Some points to keep in mind:
* Water on the tile where a worker is standing will cause job cancellations if it gets too high. A construction job (e.g. wall building) will be suspended by 2/7 depth, but a mining job will only be stopped by 4/7 depth of water.
* Flowing water will cause parents to drop their infants, leading to job cancellations, and occasionally [[fun]].
* Aquifers do not create water in diagonal tiles, but do create water in open tiles directly below them. Therefore, you will want to dig two z-levels below the lowest aquifer layer before continuing with your fortress.

=== Probing an aquifer ===
You can discover what layer lies below an aquifer layer by digging up/down [[stairs]] into the aquifer. This will reveal the tile below the aquifer layer, and if this is non-aquifer (such as [[clay]], [[ore]], or bedrock) then you know the aquifer is only 1 Z-level deep at that location. This method can only be used to determine whether the aquifer is 1 layer deep, or multiple layers deep, but this is still enough information to help plan how to penetrate it. Using a pump-based method is highly recommended for multiple layer heavy aquifers.

== Dealing with heavy aquifers ==
===Going around===
If your embark site is covered by multiple biomes, there is a chance the heavy aquifer is not present in every biome. In some maps this may be indicated by an outcropping of stone in a landscape otherwise composed of soil; in other maps the change in biome might be visible as a change in soil type, vegetation type or density. You might be able to dig down through a biome that doesn't have a heavy aquifer, to a Z-level below the heavy aquifer, and then (if you wish) tunnel beneath the heavy aquifer to the previously-inaccessible region.

Even if all the biomes of your site contain aquifers, they might not all be at the same Z-level, so you still might be able to dig down in one biome, reaching a Z-level beneath the aquifer in another biome.

Additionally, if your biome contains deep cliffs (such as a river gorge), it may be possible to build a staircase down the side of the gorge past the aquifer.

=== The double slit method ===
{{Main|Double-slit method}}
This is one of the most commonly-used methods, due to its convenience and power. It was originally developed by QuantumMenace, and is also mentioned below under [[#The pump method|the pump method]].

=== The hatch trick ===
The [[hatch]] trick is a simple method for putting one or two dwarves through a single heavy aquifer layer. (This is not to be mistaken with only working for a single layer aquifer.) You can use the trick to essentially bypass the problematic final layer of a multi-layer aquifer, allowing access to the rock layers and caverns before you've put a sealed staircase through the aquifer.

First you must dig a pair of up/down stairs into the aquifer (i.e. as in twin slit), while draining one of the tiles with a [[screw pump]], simply build a hatch on the tile (the hatch must be built on a downstairs or up/down stairs for the trick to work). Once the hatch is constructed, with the pump still operating, designate an up/down staircase under the hatch, a miner will dig the staircase out while standing 'on top' of the hatch, he can then pass through the hatch to continue digging, the hatch will let 1-2 water through with him before closing and preventing further water from following the miner. The miner is now safely under the aquifer and can dig down to the caverns or to the map edge and establish a drain, allowing you to use the much faster [[#The drainage method|drainage from below method]] to finish penetrating the aquifer. This can save a lot of time for multiple-layer aquifers where the final layer is sand. It is also quicker and cleaner than cave-in for single layer aquifers if you plan to extend a staircase straight down to the caverns anyway (making the drain essentially free).

===The ore method===
On maps where the aquifer is not held in a layer of soil, but instead is held in a [[sedimentary layer]] such as sandstone, it may be possible to tunnel down through deposits of ore such as [[magnetite]]. For this to work you have to find a spot where there is coincidentally an ore deposit on each Z-level you need to dig through. This is only possible through tiresome trial and error, or through the use of a utility like DFHack's <tt>reveal</tt>. The trial and error method can be accomplished somewhat more easily by digging up/down stairs to reveal the layer underneath them without actually digging into the underlying layer. This method is more complicated with aquifers located in layers of [[conglomerate]], as large clusters of [[puddingstone]] will support the aquifer and thus cannot be used to provide a path through it.

=== The "Chicken Run" technique ===
When a newly revealed damp tile cancels a mining designation, and without any other mining designations, the miner will revert to "No Job" status and will take a few dozen ticks to resume mining. In that time, the miner will walk away and the site will be flooded, making the tile below unreachable. However, the cancellation can be disabled in [[Standing_orders#Other|Standing orders]]{{version|53.12}}. A sufficiently fast miner (Professional or so should do for soil layers, depending on agility) can then dig a stair in one of the tiles, and before that tile floods, channel out an adjacent tile, removing that tile and breaching the layer below; if that layer is also a heavy aquifer, it will act as an infinite drain for water from above. This then opens the possibility of digging space to work in the upper layer.

While not a direct staircase in the original method, establishing a drain with just a pick is also possible with a dabbling miner. One can channel an aquifer tile from up to four ramps dug at the corners of the tile to be channeled, such that the channel priority is higher than the ramp-digging priority. Using this, one can establish drains into the next level of a soil aquifer, as digging progress accumulates in revealed tiles.

If you fail to mine fast enough, or if flowing water pushes your miner down the channeled ramp, the dwarf will usually walk up the stairs to safety, but it is possible that the miner might <s>drown</s> have fun. In stone aquifers, a legendary miner can manage with one attempt at channeling, and at minimum, a proficient miner can manage with four, though in the second case they'll risk drowning and can take weeks to dig the next channel to expand the drain.

=== Exploiting cave-ins ===
Conceptually this method involves removing the aquifer-bearing sand, soil or rock using channeling, and then dropping an island of dry sand, soil or clay into the resulting pond, a staircase can then be dug through the center of the resulting artificial island. This requires at least one natural dry layer, but is more flexible if two or more are available. An advantage of these methods is that they can be carried out by a single miner with no resources other than a pick.

This does not work with [[construction|constructed]] walls since they deconstruct on cave-in.

'''Note:''' There is a bug{{bug|1206}} that can occasionally prevent this method from working. Collapsed layers often turn into the layer type that was dug out at the level where they land (e.g. dry loam becomes dry sand). On occasion, a dry layer collapsed into an aquifer will also transform into actual aquifer tiles (e.g. dry loam becomes water-producing sand). It is unknown what triggers this behavior, but when it occurs it will be impossible to pierce the aquifer using cave-ins.

When unmined tiles collapse into a liquid, the displaced liquid teleports to sit ''on top'' of the collapsed tiles. Thus, when plugging an aquifer, it is usually advisable to incorporate aquifer drain space into the design to dispose of the displaced water.

==== Cave-in example ====
[[File:Aquifer-Plug.png|frame|none|Side view]]
*Dig stairs down to the aquifer. Dig over the aquifer layer but under your "plug". You'll need a 5x5 landmass. (Slide 2)
*Channel out the area the plug will fall into. (Slide 3)
*Leave a single floor tile on top of the plug and dig out the outer layer of your plug. The plug should be a 3x3 landmass now. The single floor tile must keep the plug from falling. (Slide 3)
*Channel out the floor tile holding up the plug. (Slides 4 & 5)
*Construct floor tiles to reach the plug and dig through the middle to get under the aquifer. (Slide 6)

==== Concentric ring method for multiple layers ====
If you build many rings inside one another in your top drop layer, you can breach multi-level aquifers with as little as 2 natural layers of dry soil above it. Drop the rings from the outside to the inside using constructed arms to hold the center rings in place. Once a ring drops into the water below it, pump out the water in the center and dig down another layer. When that is complete, drop the next ring and continue the process until you are through. Since you start dropping rings from the outside it is necessary to know how many levels deep the aquifer is before you begin. Tutorial for more than one aquifer can be found here: [[User:Rhenaya/HowtoDualAquifer]]

==== "Chicken-Run" plug ====
This method was developed for a single-pick challenge on a hostile biome. In the specific (but common) case of a 2-Z thick soil aquifer, with two dry layers above, it is possible to very quickly penetrate the aquifer using a cave-in without breaching the surface and compromising the fort's security. The method starts with a Chicken Run (see above), after which an area of the upper aquifer level is cleared out with drainage into the lower level. The lower dry level is then collapsed, which means that the sub-surface level only needs to be mined (to release the plug) rather than collapsed as part of the plug.

The procedure is described in detail {{Forum|129994.msg4620421#msg4620421|in this and the following posts}}.

While not yet demonstrated, it should be possible to use successive cycles of chicken-running and clearing to pierce arbitrarily deep soil aquifers this way.

=== The pump method ===
The pumping method uses one or more [[screw pump|pumps]] to keep an area dry long enough to smooth or [[wall]] off the sides, stopping the flow of water. It requires no special environment or resources, other than wood and dwarves (and patience). Most commonly, a modestly-sized section of the aquifer layer is channeled out and several screw pumps are built facing it. Directly behind each of the screw pumps a few tiles are channeled out to receive and dispose of the pumped water. When the pumps are activated, they should pump water faster than the aquifer can produce it, allowing masons to smooth or build walls around your future staircase. You ''will'' get job cancellations during this process, as stray 2/7's of water interrupt the building process. Just unsuspend the construction when this happens, as long a dwarf manages to touch the wall before canceling, it will move incrementally toward completion and eventually finish. Depending on the availability of screw pumps and dwarves, you may need to wall off one corner or side at a time, then move the pumps and repeat. When drilling through more than one aquifer layer, be sure to leave yourself enough room to build additional layers of pumps and water disposal channels on lower levels.

Things to consider:
* The smaller your work area, the less water your dwarves will have to remove and the faster construction will finish. For a single-layer soil aquifer, you only need to mine five tiles (your stairway and walls directly North, South, East, and West of it); single-layer stone aquifers require only a single tile be channeled.
* Mechanical [[power]] may come in handy, but dwarf power works just fine and is much more portable.
* Channels can sometimes be used in place of walls, causing water produced by the aquifer on one level to immediately fall and be consumed by the aquifer on the level below.
* This method may take a while.

==== Specific pump methods in detail ====
QuantumMenace's [[double-slit method]] can pierce an aquifer of any depth using only wood and dwarven labor. Taken from [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79224.15 this forum post].

`http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79224.0#msg2058307 Earlier] in the same thread, Hans Lemurson laid out a very dwarfy method that can also pierce aquifers of any depth, using several pumps and machinery.

A convenient method without job cancellation using a [[pump stack]] was presented by kingubu in [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=143064.0 this forum post], see [[Pump-stack_method]]

Leonidas posted a [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169616.0 detailed procedure], copiously illustrated, for tunneling through any aquifer with limited resources and relative safety.

===The freezing method===
If you are playing in a freezing or very cold landscape, where it snows in winter and instantly freezes water on the map, you can dig out a 3x3 hole in the ground using [[channel]]s, and make it deeper and deeper until you reach the aquifer level. Once you reach the damp rock, tunnel into it with up/down staircases, then channel out the downstairs, the exposed water will turn to ice, digging the up/downstairs before channeling allows the tiles to safely fill with 7/7 water before being frozen, this avoids the hazard of miners being encased in ice and avoids a bug(?) where frozen water which is less than 7/7 deep does not produce a floor above it. The central square of the 3x3 hole should be tunnelable ice, so you can get to the rock beneath.

If your fortress is in a zone that gets warm, build walls around the inside of the hole to stop the water coming in once the ice melts. In order to build a wall around a 1x1 staircase it will be necessary to have a 5x5 hole, since you need to leave an outer ring of ice to seal the aquifer.

If the aquifer is multiple layers deep you will need to start with a sufficiently large hole to account for both an ice wall to seal the aquifer and a constructed wall to seal the ice wall for each layer of the aquifer. A pump based method might be preferable.

As an alternative to building a second wall to seal the ice wall, you can establish a drain into the caverns, and build a constructed wall when the melt comes.

===The magma/obsidian method===
If you have access to a supply of magma, you can create your own obsidian caissons. By channeling into the aquifer layer and then filling these channels with magma, or by digging staircases and pouring magma down the staircases, it is possible to create a wall of obsidian between your working area and the [[water]]-bearing rock or [[soil]]. However, changes to world generation with the last version have made this method more difficult than it once was, as it is now harder to find magma vents that extend above the aquifer level.

===The drainage method===
Having made an initial hole in the aquifer, you may wish to punch another larger hole through, say for example to grow wild strawberries in the caverns. Or you may simply want an additional (natural stone!) staircase. Once you have access from below this is much easier than digging from above, and it has the additional benefit of producing a shaft of exactly the size you want.

Locate the caverns and dig a drainage shaft of up/down stairs or downward stairs up from the caverns to the aquifer (downward stairs function as grates and are far safer than channeling). Once the drainage shaft is complete punch the shaft up through the aquifer (using up/down stairs) until you hit dry dirt. Now mine out the walls around the shaft and build constructed walls to seal the aquifer. It's even faster if the walls are dug out using down stairs instead, constructed walls can be built on the stairs and water falls straight through, thus construction can always be started and is never suspended. Always build the walls from the highest layer down, so the dwarves aren't having water dumped on them from above.

This method can be used to create arbitrarily large (and shaped) holes. Large holes, which would be impractical to dig from above, are very easy using this technique. It's also extremely useful for digging straight shafts through "layercake" aquifers where aquifer tiles and non-aquifer tiles are intermixed.

Just be very aware that your framerate is bound to suffer, if you are not fast with plugging the aquifer walls.

===The modding method===
{{Mod}}
By editing the raws and removing the [AQUIFER] tag from all of the appropriate entries in inorganic_stone_layer.txt, inorganic_stone_mineral.txt, and inorganic_stone_soil.txt it is possible to remove all aquifers from the world. This can be done before creating a new world or after, if you find a particularly neat location ruined only by the presence of an aquifer. In order to modify an existing world, you must delete the [AQUIFER] tag from the raws in the savegame's folder.

==== With DFHack ====
The [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] command <code>light-aquifers-only</code> changes all heavy aquifers to light aquifers. If you prefer not having to deal with aquifers at all, the DFHack command <code>aquifer drain --all</code> removes the aquifer flag from all tiles in your current embark without requiring raw edits.

===== With DFHack's gui/aquifer command =====
DFHack's [https://docs.dfhack.org/en/latest/docs/tools/gui/aquifer.html "gui/aquifer"] command lets you interactively remove (or create) aquifers on specific tiles. This is useful if you want to keep a heavy aquifer on your map, but don't want to deal with the hassle of breaching it.

To create an aquiferless shaft, do this:
# Open gui/launcher by clicking on the DFHack logo and selecting gui/launcher
# Run gui/aquifer
# Draw a cube (''e.g. a 4x4'') containing the area to drain

Don't worry about hitting non-aquifer tiles: they shouldn't be affected by the tool at all.

==== Command-line (Linux) ====
Note that this prevents light aquifers as well as heavy ones!

cd df_linux/data/vanilla/vanilla_materials/
sed -i 's/\[AQUIFER\]/(AQUIFER)/g' inorganic_stone_*.txt

and generate your world. If you want to restore the tags later, you can do it with the command:

sed -i 's/(AQUIFER)/[AQUIFER]/g' inorganic_stone_*.txt

==== Text editor (all operating systems) ====
You can manually perform the command-line method above.

There are three files, all found within ``“THE FOLDER ''Dwarf Fortress'' IS INSTALLED IN”\data\vanilla\vanilla_materials\objects``:
* inorganic_stone_layer.txt
* inorganic_stone_mineral.txt
* inorganic_stone_soil.txt

Open these in a text editor, then use the “Find and Replace” function and replace all instances of ``[AQUIFER]`` with ``(AQUIFER)``. Later on, if you would like to reverse the process, replace ``(AQUIFER)`` with ``[AQUIFER]``.

== Benefits of aquifers ==
Aquifers can be useful for building a self-sufficient fortress, and are often indispensable for water-related [[megaprojects]] in maps without a river.

Aquifers outside [[ocean]] biomes also contain fresh water. Since aquifers are almost always located close to the surface, freshwater aquifers can easily be turned into a source of infinite, secure, non-freezing drinking water for your dwarves. While both of these roles can also be filled by [[Caverns|cavern]] features, an aquifer allows you to get the same advantages without exposing yourself to potentially <s>dangerous</s> Fun cavern creatures.

=== A benefit of heavy aquifers? ===
Although annoying, heavy aquifers can absorb an infinite amount of water, meaning they can function as a drain for anything above them. For instance, digging a pit in a lower Z-level of the aquifer, then connecting it to a breached aquifer a level above, through a channel dug a level above that, will create a permanently flowing, compact, secure water/power source completely contained within the fortress.

== Technical implementation of the aquifer type split ==
An aquifer will be heavy if the Drainage modulo 20 equals 7, all other aquifers are light.

* Aquifers south/west of the NW-SE diagonal in the local embark map are not displayed on the embark screen (but they're still present). {{bug|11358}}

Ziusudra: /* Mining warm and damp stone */ replaced warm stone work around with standing order link

[[File:mining_anim_v50.gif|thumb|189px|right|A designated area being mined.]]'''Mining''' is an essential part of building a fort in ''Dwarf Fortress''. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as [[exploratory mining|searching]] for various [[stone|stone types]], [[ore]]s and [[gem]]s, or simply to create the basic tunnels and [[zone|room]]s in your fort. Mining refers to either the [[skill]] that performs mining, the [[labor]] associated with it, or simply the task or job of performing said labor. Military dwarves equipped with picks will use mining as their "[[Combat skill|weapon skill]]." Mining through softer materials such as [[sand]] or [[soil]] is much faster than mining through stone.

There are several types of jobs associated with this skill:
* '''Digging''' removes the section of the wall while preserving both the ceiling (which is the floor of the level above) and the floor.
* '''[[Channel]]ing''' removes the section of the wall, the floor, and if possible places a ramp one level below.
* '''[[Ramp]]s''' replaces the section with a ramp, also removing the tile and floor one level above.
* '''[[Stairs]]''' carves out upward and/or downward stairs.
* '''Remove [[Construction]]''' removes a construction, ie. a built wall, stair, floor, etc.
* '''Remove Stairs/Ramp''' removes a dug-out stairs or ramp.

Mining can only be done in pre-existing stone or soil. NOTE: Constructed [[wall]]s, [[stairs]] or [[ramp]]s are not dug and instead must be removed using the 'Remove Construction' option ({{Menu icon|m|x}}). This uses the mining skill to be completed, regardless of the material the construction is made from.

When discovering a unique stone, gem or ore, the game will display an annoucement that looks like the following: 
{{DFtext|You have struck saltpeter!|6:1}}

==Understanding digging==
[[Image:DF2014_Terraform.png|thumb|664px|
Side view of various mining tasks.
 
Gray/black areas represent un-mined rock, cyan/black represents mined-out areas. Solid green represents existing floor "tiles", cyan represents mined-out floor tiles. Up stairs, down stairs, and ramps are red, blue, and mustard (yellow) respectively.
 
In each of the 9 "digging" scenarios, the dwarf miner is shown as having completed the command(s) listed in that figure, moving from left to right. Each individual command is separated by a comma ",". (The "x2" notation indicates that the command is completed twice.) The dwarf has completed those commands in the order they are listed. For example, in the bottom right figure: "Down stairs, up/down stairs, up stairs, mine x2" is five separate commands.
]]
Each layer in the three-dimensional ''Dwarf Fortress'' map consists of two parts: a wall-part, and a floor-part. Mining a tunnel removes the wall-part but leaves the floor-part in place. Channeling removes the floor-part as well, leaving open space above, and if a wall-part exists below, it becomes an upward ramp. Digging an upward ramp removes the wall-part of the designated tile and both parts of the tile above it. Up stairs only modify the wall-part of the designated tile (and are unusable without Down stairs in the tile above), the Down stairs designation will remove the wall-part of the tile (if present) and place a stair connection in the floor-part of the designated tile. Up/down stairs modify both parts of the designated tile (but remain unusable until the tile above/below has the proper stair connection).

== Making a dwarf a miner ==

# Go to the {{Menu icon|y}} labor menu, then work details tab
# Select the "Miners" work detail on the left side of the screen
# Find the dwarf you would like to make a miner, and click the rightmost box, a green check mark should appear
# If you would like this dwarf to ''only'' mine, and ignore all other labors (they will still eat, sleep, take breaks, etc. ) you can toggle the dwarf's "Specialize" button (the hammer and lock icon) to be red.
To start mining, a [[miner]] requires an available [[pick]]. A dwarf's agility and mining skill affect how quickly they mine, as does pick material and quality, and even a [[Difficulty#Fortress_dig_speed|difficulty setting]].

Giving a dwarf the miner work detail will disable the "wood cutter" and "hunter" work details, as those labors all involve the usage of different tools.

== Designating the area to be mined ==
# Press {{Menu icon|m}} to bring up the digging orders menu.
# Highlight the requested action by pressing:
#* {{Menu icon|m}} for mining
#* {{Menu icon|m|u|num=1}} for channeling
#* {{Menu icon|m|r|num=1}} for an upward ramp
#* {{Menu icon|m|t|num=1}} for stairs, set a start and an end point in a different elevation to determine if it leads upwards or downwards
# (Optional) Set the priority by pressing {{Menu icon|m|n|num=1}} to open the advanced options, and clicking a number to set the priority. Tiles with first/lowest numbered priority value will be mined first.
# Draw a rectangle using the mouse. An area should now be highlighted, indicating the area to be mined. The opposite corner can also be placed on a different z-level with {{k|c}}/{{k|e}}, designating areas across z-levels for mining.

==Mineral production (profit!)==
When the wall-part is removed from a stone tile, there is a 25% chance that a single [[stone]] (also known as a boulder) will be left behind. Minerals which are found in [[vein]]s have a 33% chance of leaving ore, and minerals found in [[vein|small clusters]] (or individual tiles) have a 100% chance of leaving a stone or rough gem behind. Finally, any "deep" material (i.e. [[adamantine]] or [[slade]]) has a 100% chance of leaving a usable stone (though the latter is normally undiggable). Mining skill only influences the amount of time it takes to mine each tile; it does not affect drop rate.

Carving a channel down or ramp up needs special care to provide the full 25%/33%/100% mineral production: in the case that both the bottom tile (where the new ramp up is) and the top tile (new open-space above the newly carved ramp) are both dug out together as part of the same designation, there is only a single chance of mineral production, even though two tiles had their wall-part removed, effectively halving the mineral production chance to 12.5%/16.5%/50% in that case. But if special care is taken to ensure the top open-space tile is dug out first before carving the ramp below it, the full chance from both tiles can be achieved.

The [[stoneworker's workshop]] can create four [[block]]s from each boulder, so on average you can create one stone block for each tile of stone mined. Each ore stone also produces 4 metal bars at a [[smelter]], so, on average, you will produce 1⅓ bars of the basic metal* for every tile of ore mined, or 4/ for small clusters of rare ore.

: (* Two ores, [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]], have a chance to produce additional bars of [[silver]] as well as producing the 4 bars of their basic metal ([[copper]] and [[lead]], respectively). As a footnote, while [[iron]] ores produce 4 bars of iron, and that is all the metal required for 1 bar of steel, [[steel]] production additionally consumes 1 [[flux]] stone and 1 bar of [[fuel]] per single bar of steel produced.)

When tunnels are dug in [[soil]], nothing is left from the material, there is no soil equivalent of a "[[stone]]" to be further used. The floor-part will remain (if it wasn't channeled), and is suitable for [[farming]], or, if the right kind of soil, for sand or [[clay]] collection.

After pressing {{Menu icon|m}} and opening the advanced {{Menu icon|m|n|num=1}} options menu, you can set the designation type to switch between designating all materials ({{Menu icon|m|v|num=1}}), designating just {{Menu icon|m|g|num=1}} gems, designating just gems and {{Menu icon|m|o|num=1}} ores, or designating ore/gem clusters or veins to be mined automatically with {{Menu icon|m|V|num=1}}. Switching the designation type to automining will allow you to quickly assign mining tasks to entire veins.

==Training mining==
Dwarves gain mining experience for each tile mined, be it stone, ore, gem, or soil. Soil is mined extremely quickly and is one of the fastest ways to train miners. Since the skill of mining also is used in combat, a dwarf with mining enabled that is carrying a pick will increase their mining skill through combat drills. This process is much faster than learning by digging through stone, but not nearly as fast as learning by digging through soil.

The fastest way to train mining is to first dig out upstairs, then remove the upstairs. Removing upstairs (even rock ones) is extremely quick and still provides mining experience.

==Mining warm and damp stone==
[[File:digging_wet_preview.png|thumb|Wet tiles that should not be dug.]]
When designating any digging operation, warm and damp tiles will flash, indicating magma or water in adjacent tiles. Miners can dig these safely, provided there is an escape route. (''"Safely"'' here implies only the short term survival of the digging dwarf, your fortress may well be flooded as a result, even many levels above the digging level, ''eventually'' killing your dwarf.)

Channeling and ramping designations involve two operations, and your dwarf will be submerged in the fluid when done. Unskilled swimmers can reach an exit ramp out of water if near enough, but magma will certainly cost your miner's life (the flow from either can knock dwarves off ledges, or, naturally, [[flood]] the fortress.)

Wall tiles ''above'' magma will flash "warm", and designations will be cancelled even if an entirely safe tunnel is being dug. This is rather annoying when carving out rooms above the magma sea, and can be disabled on the [[Standing_orders#Other|Other tab]] on the Standing orders tab in the Labor menu {{Menu icon|y}}{{version|53.12}}.

==How to cancel a mining operation==
If you placed a designated area for mining but want to cancel the mining (for example if you approached [[Main:Digging designation canceled|damp stone]]) open the eraser tool with {{Menu icon|x}} and select an area you want to cancel.

== Rampless channels ==
To create a channel with no ramps, you have to mine out the area underneath the channel first, or manually designate the ramps created for removal afterwards {{Menu icon|m|x}}. If you wish for these channels to be completely inaccessible from the outside, channel out the access-point (downward staircase). Another (more complicated) way of removing any access to the moat is to replace the dug out ramps with constructed ones and creating a cave-in with constructed floors. Rampless channels are an effective substitute for walls against melee enemies that cannot fly, and they can be dug out far faster than a wall can be built. However, channels offer no defense against archers or dragonbreath.

When digging ramps upwards, watch out for loose stone or other items that might be on the floor above, as falling objects can injure the unfortunate miner.

A '''revealed tile''', in [[fortress mode]], is any tile that has a description when pointed at with the mouse.

All [[Tile attributes|above ground]] tiles on the map start out revealed, including tiles above the surface. All [[Tile attributes|subterranean]] tiles must be revealed by [[mining|digging]] into them. All tiles adjacent to a dug tile on the same level will also be revealed, including diagonally: you can see what the rock walls adjacent to a mined-out tile are made of, for instance, and you can see the outermost tile of each z-level of a mountain. You can also see the tile immediately below where a downward or up/down [[stairs|stairway]] has been dug - this is because digging the stairway removes the [[floor]] between the levels. Upward stairways do not reveal the level above, because they do not remove the floor/ceiling above the stairs. With [[premium]] graphics, solid tiles that are not adjacent to open space will still be rendered as unrevealed, but they can still be examined by pointing at them with the mouse.

Underground features like [[cavern]]s and [[Magma#Magma_pools|magma pool]]s start out hidden and must be discovered by mining into them. Upon breaching a feature, an [[announcement]] will be displayed informing the player of the discovery, and a chunk of the new feature "within view" of your dwarves will be revealed; see the [[Cavern#Methods_of_exploration|Methods of exploration]] in the caverns article for information on revealing more. Walls next to water or magma, including vertically, will be damp or warm, and dig designations for such walls will be [[Digging designation canceled|cancelled]] when revealed to avoid potentially flooding the fortress with what is beyond them, by default, though this can be disabled on the [[Standing_orders#Other|Other tab]] on the Standing orders tab in the Labor menu {{Menu icon|y}}{{version|53.12}}.

Digging designation canceled

This error message pauses the game and zooms to the location where the warm or damp stone was located, and can be disabled on the [[Standing_orders#Other|Other tab]] on the Standing orders tab in the Labor menu {{Menu icon|y}}{{version|53.12}}.

[[File:warm_stone_preview.png|right]]Warm or damp stone can be very dangerous, as it indicates the presence of nearby [[magma]] or [[water]], respectively. However, the stone could be warm/damp because the magma/water is beside the tile, directly above the tile, or directly below the tile - and, most of the time, ''you don't know which''. You will only know if you are near the surface and find the damp stone below a known [[murky pool]] or [[river]].

[[File:Damp Stone Butcher.png|thumb|right|In this case, digging the room around the butcher was cancelled due to the last, bottom right tile being below the pool floor. The pool is known since it is on the surface. Note that it was possible to dig below the upper level's damp tiles of clay.]]The safest thing to do is back off several tiles, mine up a [[z-level]] then approach the location again. Rinse and repeat until you emerge above the surface of the magma/water. Note that you will not receive warnings when digging staircases upward. If you plan on digging a staircase to a higher z-level, make sure there are no heavy [[aquifer]]s or [[magma]] in your way!

Side Profile:

axis ###~~## ###~~## ###~~## ~ Magma

####### ####### ####### o Miner

Only in the middle case would it be unsafe to mine out the square that had just been canceled: In the first and last cases, there would be a floor between your miner and the fluid.

If the damp stone is due to an aquifer, empty tiles next to damp stone will fill with water, either slowly with a light aquifer, or quickly.

The announcements can be changed to add recentering and pausing, either in the [[settings]], or by editing [[announcements.txt]].

If you have [[DFHack]] installed, you will have the option to enable "Damp dig" or "Warm dig" mode. If you do not want to have your digging designations canceled, for example when digging minerals out of a light aquifer, you can enable the appropriate mode when you designate the tiles for digging. Click on the toolbar icon to set your desired mode.

[[File:Dfhack damp dig.png|thumb|Digging toolbar with DFHack damp dig enabled]]

In this screenshot, the upper row is designated without any special mode. The second row is designated with damp dig enabled. The third row is designated with warm dig enabled. The fourth row is designated with both damp and warm dig modes enabled.

In ASCII mode, tiles designated in warm and/or damp dig mode will flash in an appropriate color.

There are also options to retroactively enable damp or warm dig mode for existing designations on a z-level.

:[[File:v50_standing_orders_preview.png|300px|right]]'''''Standing orders''' are non-military orders that apply to the entire fortress, including civilians. If you were looking for information on how to get your military to patrol or defend areas without actively managing them, see '''[[Scheduling]]'''. If you were looking for information on how to order your squads to move around on command and attack designated creatures, see '''[[Squads]]'''.

'''Standing orders''' that apply to the whole fortress can be accessed by opening the Labor menu with {{Menu icon|y}} and then clicking on the '''Standing orders''' tab.

==Automated Workshops==
* '''Automatically weave all thread''' toggles whether [[loom]]s will automatically weave available thread (or available dyed thread) into cloth
* '''Use any cloth''' toggles whether [[clothier's shop]]s will use only dyed cloth or all cloth. Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of the best quality possible.
* '''Automatically collect webs''' toggles whether [[weaver]]s will automatically go out and collect spider [[web]]s
* '''Slaughter any marked animal''' toggles whether animals marked for slaughter will automatically add slaughter tasks to [[butcher's shop]]s
* '''Automatically butcher carcasses''' toggles whether butcherable corpses will have butcher tasks automatically generated at [[butcher's shop]]s
* '''Automatically clean fish''' toggles whether "prepare raw fish" tasks will be automatically added to [[fishery]]s after raw fish are caught
* '''Automate kitchen''' toggles whether automatic [[reactions]] ("render fat") will be added at [[kitchen]]s
* '''Automate tannery''' toggles whether automatic [[reactions]] ("tan a hide") will be added at [[tanner's shop]]s

==Hauling==
* '''Workers gather animals''' toggles whether dwarves will move caged [[animal]]s to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather food''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[food]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather furniture''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[furniture]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather bodies''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[corpse]]s to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather minerals''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[stone]] to a stockpile
* '''Workers gather wood''' toggles whether dwarves will move [[wood]] to a stockpile

==Refuse and dumping==
Dwarves can do different things with different types of [[refuse]].

You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether by toggling off '''Workers gather refuse''' for a smelly fort, or toggle on '''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves.

Various refuse types can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump [[activity zone]]). Setting a type of refuse as "dump" will make dwarves start automatically dumping refuse of that type, even ones pre-stored in a refuse stockpile.

NOTE: If you have outdoor refuse stockpiles set up with give and take chains (to shift garbage away from your fortress, for example,) you must turn on collecting outdoor refuse if you want your dwarves to move the piles.

*'''Workers gather refuse''' toggles whether dwarves will ignore refuse completely
*'''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' toggles whether dwarves will gather refuse [[Tile_attributes|outside]]
*'''Workers ignore outdoor vermin remains''' toggles whether dwarves will gather [[vermin]] remains from outside (only available when '''Workers gather outdoor refuse''' is on)
*'''Workers save corpses''' toggles whether [[corpse]]s, [[body part]]s, and other parts not applied to the options below are stored or dumped, including [[Ivory|ivory/teeth]], [[horn]]s, [[nervous tissue]], and [[cartilage]]
*'''Workers save skulls''' toggles whether [[skull]]s are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save bones''' [[bone]]s are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save shells''' [[shell]]s are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save skins''' toggles whether [[skin]]s, [[chitin]] or [[scale]]s are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save hair and wool''' toggles whether [[hair]] or [[wool]] are stored or dumped
*'''Workers save other objects''' toggles other refuse not mentioned above, including vermin remains, rotten products, withered plants, damaged furniture, or [[Wear|tattered]] clothes ("Gather Vermin Remains" must be on for outdoor vermin remains to be collected)

==Sieges and forbidding==
Dwarves can automatically [[forbid]] certain types of items, automatically forbid these items only during sieges, or not automatically forbid them at all.
*'''Forbid used ammunition''' toggles whether shot ammunition is automatically forbidden
*'''Claim your dead''' toggles whether dead citizens are automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid your death items''' toggles whether dead citizens' items are automatically forbidden
*'''Claim other dead''' toggles whether other dead creatures are automatically forbidden
*'''Claim other death items''' toggles whether other dead creatures' items are automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid floor/wall cleaning''' toggles when dwarves will clean contaminants such as [[vomit]] and [[blood]] from floors and walls.
*'''Forbid trap cleaning''' toggles when dwarves will clean [[trap]]s.
*'''Forbid trap rearming''' toggles when dwarves will rearm traps.
*'''Forbid cages from sprung traps''' toggles whether filled cages from traps will be automatically forbidden
*'''Forbid toppled building items''' toggles whether remnants of [[building destroyer|smashed buildings]] will be automatically forbidden

==Chores==
The Chores tab allows you to select what tasks [[children]] will automatically do. You can select '''Children don't do chores''' to forbid all children from doing work tasks or toggle tasks from the list of "Feeding Patients/Prisoners", "Milking", hauling tasks, "Cleaning", and "Lever Operation". The tab lists all of the children in your fort and you can also select individual children to do either all or none of the tasks you've selected. If either list has a scroll bar, only click the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar to scroll the list; otherwise (after scrolling) the selecting and deselecting of children or options might not work (until the menu is closed and reopened){{bug|13461}}.

==Other==
*'''Announce some job cancellations''' adjusts the level of job cancellation announcements that are shown
*'''Mining cancelled near new damp stone'''{{version|53.12}} toggles [[Digging designation canceled|cancellation of digging designations]] for walls next to [[water]] or [[aquifer]]s
*'''Mining cancelled near new warm stone'''{{version|53.12}} toggles cancellation of digging designations for walls next to [[magma]]
*'''Everybody harvests''' toggles who will harvest plants from [[farm plot|farm plots]]; see [[Planter#All_dwarves_harvest|Planter]] for details
*'''Mix similar foods in barrels''' toggles whether different types of food can be put in one barrel at a stockpile
*'''Prefer zones for water drinking''' toggles whether dwarves can drink at water sources not marked as zones

Difficulty

Ziusudra: /* Enemy/merchant triggers */ added creature and trade tokens to option descriptions, adjusted text see those tokens for details

{{Quality|Superior}}
{{av}}
{{distinguish|Creature token#DIFFICULTY|l1=the Difficulty creature token}}
'''Difficulty''' is the level of challenge presented by the game in [[Fortress Mode]], largely customizable by the player. These [[settings]] will affect whether your fortress can be attacked by outside forces, how frequent said attacks are, how big invading armies are, [[noble]] neediness, etc. You can modify these settings before and at any time after embarking, the tab will only appear in the settings screen when a [[fortress]] is loaded. Since they are specific to each save, they are stored as part of the save and are not editable outside the game.

== Default settings ==
They are divided into two groups: enemies and economy; enemies can be disabled, both groups have normal and hard presets, and all of the individual settings can be adjusted in Custom settings. The values used in each preset can be seen by selecting the preset and then viewing them in Custom settings.

'''Enemies''' has 3 options:
* '''Off''' will disable [[Ambush|ambushes]], [[Siege|sieges]], [[Megabeast|uninvited]] [[Forgotten beast|guests]], [[Werebeast|werebeasts]], and agitated wildlife attacks, but not [[intrigue]], [[HFS]], or misbehaving dwarves, so it is still recommended to train a military.
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' experience.
* '''Hard''' ensures a never-ending stream of [[Fun]], causing invaders to show up earlier, more often, and with more bodies to throw at the gates.
----
'''Economy''' has 2 options:
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' economy.
* '''Hard''' requires you to produce more wealth in order to receive higher-ranking nobles, requires [[Temple|temples]] and [[Guildhall|guildhalls]] to be more valuable before satisfying petitions, and causes [[Noble|nobles]] to make more [[Mandate|mandates]] and [[Demand|demands]].

== Enemy settings ==

If you wish, you can also fine-tune individual settings - maybe you only want megabeasts to assault your fortress, and would prefer the elves to leave well enough alone. The following options are available for enemy settings:

These were all added with the [[release information/53.01|siege update]].{{version|53.01}} The aversion values are multipliers for pathing cost; for instance, an aversion to deconstruction of 20 means they would just as soon deconstruct 5 tiles as dig 2 natural tiles (as walk 100 steps), because each of those has the same cost (5×20 = 2×50 = 1×100). The material is not used in this calculation, only whether the tile must be deconstructed or dug through.{{cite forum|183066/8606428}}

Ziusudra: /* Enemy civilization triggers */ renamed section to match game text, added creatures, trade, and tokens

{{Quality|Superior}}
{{av}}
{{distinguish|Creature token#DIFFICULTY|l1=the Difficulty creature token}}
'''Difficulty''' is the level of challenge presented by the game in [[Fortress Mode]], largely customizable by the player. These [[settings]] will affect whether your fortress can be attacked by outside forces, how frequent said attacks are, how big invading armies are, [[noble]] neediness, etc. You can modify these settings before and at any time after embarking, the tab will only appear in the settings screen when a [[fortress]] is loaded. Since they are specific to each save, they are stored as part of the save and are not editable outside the game.

== Default settings ==
They are divided into two groups: enemies and economy; enemies can be disabled, both groups have normal and hard presets, and all of the individual settings can be adjusted in Custom settings. The values used in each preset can be seen by selecting the preset and then viewing them in Custom settings.

'''Enemies''' has 3 options:
* '''Off''' will disable [[Ambush|ambushes]], [[Siege|sieges]], [[Megabeast|uninvited]] [[Forgotten beast|guests]], [[Werebeast|werebeasts]], and agitated wildlife attacks, but not [[intrigue]], [[HFS]], or misbehaving dwarves, so it is still recommended to train a military.
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' experience.
* '''Hard''' ensures a never-ending stream of [[Fun]], causing invaders to show up earlier, more often, and with more bodies to throw at the gates.
----
'''Economy''' has 2 options:
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' economy.
* '''Hard''' requires you to produce more wealth in order to receive higher-ranking nobles, requires [[Temple|temples]] and [[Guildhall|guildhalls]] to be more valuable before satisfying petitions, and causes [[Noble|nobles]] to make more [[Mandate|mandates]] and [[Demand|demands]].

== Enemy settings ==

If you wish, you can also fine-tune individual settings - maybe you only want megabeasts to assault your fortress, and would prefer the elves to leave well enough alone. The following options are available for enemy settings:
=== Individual enemy toggles ===

=== Siege invaders ===
These were all added with the [[release information/53.01|siege update]].{{version|53.01}} The aversion values are multipliers for pathing cost; for instance, an aversion to deconstruction of 20 means they would just as soon deconstruct 5 tiles as dig 2 natural tiles (as walk 100 steps), because each of those has the same cost (5×20 = 2×50 = 1×100). The material is not used in this calculation, only whether the tile must be deconstructed or dug through.{{cite forum|183066/8606428}}

[[ru:Difficulty]]

Gem

2026-07-09T07:19:44Z

Ziusudra: /* Gem cuts */ removed redundant word in every cell, removed old duplicate list, made plurality it's own section and added relative size

{{Quality|Exceptional|16:42, 13 January 2023 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

[[File:gem_sprite_preview.png|right]]Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined they can be cut by a [[gem cutter]], and then a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. Unlike [[Mining#Mineral_production_.28profit.21.29|mining stone or minerals]], there is a 100% chance to successfully mine gems.*

: ''(* exception: see comment re [[Mining#Mineral_production_.28profit.21.29|Mining Ramps/Channels]])''

'''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem-encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in-game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, except the various types of [[clay]], can also be cut into gems.

There are a total of 130 different kinds of gems, 127 excluding the three kinds of [[glass]]. Of these, 57 are ornamental, 58 semi-precious, 4 precious and 8 rare.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

====Large gems and crafts====
Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Finished goods#Large gems|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem as the final product and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf in the throes of a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "'''perfect gem'''" - this is simply a special name for an [[artifact]] large gem.

You can also direct your dwarves to cut [[shell]], [[horn]] and [[teeth|ivory]] into a '''large gem''' which can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Metal bars can also be made into large 'gems' at a [[metalsmith's forge]].

===Other sources===
====Glass====
If you have any bags of [[sand]] and a [[glass furnace]], you can manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Sprite
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[File:green_glass_sprite.png]] [[File:cut_green_glass_sprite.png]]||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[File:clear_crystal_glass.png]] [[File:cut_clear_glass_sprite.png]]||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||[[File:clear_crystal_glass.png]] [[File:cut_crystal_glass_sprite.png]]||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. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

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

* Note that rough [[rock crystal]] gems are ''required'' to make [[crystal glass]] goods. If you're going to have any sort of [[glass industry]], reserve your rough rock crystals for that purpose, rather than cutting them.

====Other====
[[Gizzard stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only a few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

A killed [[amethyst man]] will, logically, drop a rough amethyst, but amethyst men are fairly rare. Forgotten beasts made of gem will leave a [[corpse]], in some cases weighing thousands of [[Urist#Other_uses|Urist]]s, but the corpse cannot be cut into gems or used in any other way.

== Value ==
[[File:gem_encrust_preview.png|right]]Gems have a base [[value]] of 6 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 20. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 20 times the gem type's value multiplier - see [[gem cutting]] and [[gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (6×20=) 120☼, a cut green zircon (20×20=) 400☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10×20×2+30=) 430☼.

Dwarves who have preferences for certain gems and colors will have a higher-value perception of the items and walls encrusted with, or painted in, them.

In the premium version of the game, you can also quickly identify low-value uncut gems from the higher-value counterparts by the way they appear in-game - lower-value gems are smaller and do not have as many spikes.

See [[Gem/Textlist|here]] for a text list of rough gems sorted alphabetically by variety.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]], and can burn for the better part of a year before finally [[wear]]ing away.

== Gem cuts ==
Finished gems have a particular cut, which doesn't affect the gem's value, only being an aesthetic feature. There are a total of 22 types of gem cuts in the game, and a gem may appear to have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" or "tapered baguette" cut, but these combinations are actually distinct cuts (judging by the game's raws). "Cabochon" gem cuts are polished smooth instead of faceted. [[Gizzard stone]]s do not have cuts.

== Size and plurality ==
The [[size]] of a single "small gems" item is 4× larger than a single "large gem", additionally, the game refers to large gems (the finished good) as a singular item of their material, such as "large single cut clear zircon" or "large cushion moonstone cabochon"; while small gems are referred to as a plural item of their material, such as "round brilliant cut peridots" or "cushion green diamond cabochons". This indicates that a single "small gems" item is actually a group of gems all with the same cut (the item does not have a [[Reaction#PRODUCT_DIMENSION|dimension]], though).

== Rare gems ==
[[Faint yellow diamond]]s only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which, itself, only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and [[sapphire]]s and [[ruby|rubies]] only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds, and in the gem-encrusted walls on the bottom-most cavern layer. [[Star sapphire]]s and [[Star ruby|star rubies]] only occur within clusters of other sapphires or rubies, respectively.

{{Minorspoiler}}
All precious and rare gems may also be found in [[unusual volcanic wall]]s.

== In real life ==
A gem is a [[Stone|mineral]] (or a mineral-like material) admired by a culture, often due to their beauty and durability (resistance to scratches), so that they have economic value in and of themselves.

Most gems are made of the same basic minerals found in common rocks; but their atoms are arranged into ordered patterns, called '''crystals''', with drastic consequences to their appearance and material properties. For example, the same mineral quartz that looks so unremarkable in [[quartzite]] may form the strikingly geometric, beautifully translucent [[Rock crystal|rock crystals]], if it has the space to grow up slowly – in a crack or cavity within [[granite|granite rock]], for example.

File:QuartzVug.jpg|Rock crystal growing inside a rock cavity. These are made of the same basic stuff as quartzite, only better arranged.
</gallery>

Each particular crystal has a stable angle between its faces, depending on the underlying atomic structure; quartz is hexagonal, while [[rock salt]] is cubic.

File:Salt crystals, Kuyalnik.JPG|Cubic [[rock salt]] crystals (click to embiggen).
</gallery>

A more drastic (and famous) example is carbon. The organic content of sedimentary rocks like [[bituminous coal]] may be pressured and heated into honeycomb [[Layer|layers]], forming the [[metamorphic]] stone [[graphite]] (which we use in pencils, and dwarves use for long-lasting fires). That very same carbon may be shaped, with more pressure and less heat (when, for example, stricken by a meteorite), into the nested cubes known as [[Diamond|diamonds]].

File:Brillanten.jpg|[[Gem cutting|Round brilliant cut]] diamonds.
</gallery>

Some non-mineral materials that have been sometimes considered "gems" include organic products like [[amber]], [[coral]], and [[pearl]]; and rocks (bundles of multiple minerals) like [[jet]], [[green jade|jade]] and [[lapis lazuli]]. Of these, pearl only exists in DF as a placeholder, coral and amber in the most rudimentary of forms; but not as gemstones. Jet counts as a [[stone|regular stone]] in DF, while jade (in various colors) and lapis lazuli are gemstones.

Building destroyer

Ziusudra: typo

{{migrated article}}
{{Quality|Unrated}}
{{av}}
{{Catbox}}
'''Building destroyers''' are creatures with the {{token|BUILDINGDESTROYER|c}} token and will actively seek out various [[furniture|furnishings]], [[workshop]]s and other [[building]]s and topple or destroy them. Uncompleted [[construction]]s are [[Construction#Destruction|vulnerable]], but completed ones are not. They come in two varieties, the first being annoying, and the second dangerous. Most buildings will be "toppled" (deconstructed), leaving the building material or furniture unbuilt but otherwise unharmed, however [[door]]s, [[hatch cover]]s, and [[floodgate]]s will be damaged until destroyed, not deconstructed.

Creatures with this tag are gifted with an incredible ability to sense exactly where your buildings are, and will generally charge a building from 10 tiles away, with the exception of forgotten beasts and (semi-)megabeasts. Plan your [[defense guide|defenses]] accordingly. Building destroyers still prefer to attack creatures, and if a valid creature target for their aggression is or becomes visible to them, they will abandon building destruction in favor of classic creature destruction.

The time it takes for a building destroyer to destroy a building depends on the [[quality]] of the building. [[Artifact]] quality furniture can never be damaged or destroyed, but some kinds of artifact furniture will be deconstructed by a building destroyer, given enough time: for instance, artifact statues will eventually be deconstructed; artifact hatch covers never will.

Building destroyers will destroy nearly '''all''' types of buildings they can reach, whether or not they block their path - [[door]]s, [[floodgate]]s, [[hatch]] covers, vertical/horizontal [[bars]], floor/wall [[grate]]s, [[statue]]s, [[workshop]]s, and even furniture are vulnerable.{{verify|Are all buildings are still targeted in current ver?}} The only buildings that will be spared by a building destroyer are [[well]]s, [[road]]s, [[trap]]s (including [[lever]]s and track stops), [[animal trap]]s, [[chain]]s, [[cage]]s, [[stockpile]]s, [[Trap#Upright Spear/Spike|upright weapon]]s, and any buildings submerged in 4/7 or deeper [[Water#Depth|liquid]] (even if they're innate swimmers). They can destroy most furniture and buildings from a lower [[z-level]] when a valid path exists to that furniture, though locked hatches and closed grates are safe as long as no alternative paths exist. Building destroyers will path to and destroy even opened (or stuck open) doors, hatches, floodgates, or vertical bars. They will cause damage to any attached mechanisms during building destruction, sometimes leading to the unlinking of furniture to a lever before the furniture in question is fully destroyed. Note that building destroyers can destroy raised [[bridge]]s but tend to prioritize choosing an unblocked path, even if it includes building constructions.

==Destroying from underneath==

Building destroyers cannot destroy buildings unless they can path to the building on the z-level of the building. This means that building destroyers '''cannot''' destroy, for instance, a forbidden hatch above them (note that non-forbidden, i.e. passable, hatches are vulnerable!) or a magma forge from the magma underneath it '''unless''' a clear alternate path to the building exists. If such a path exists, they do not have to follow it; they can destroy the building from the z-level below while standing on a ramp or stairs that leads up to the building's z-level.

Consider the following diagrams, as viewed from the side:

This was tested with trolls in an entrance-way accessed by both lever-controlled floodgates and a manually locked door. Ramps led up to the floodgates and the door. When both were closed, the trolls showed no interest. When the door was unlocked, a troll began to destroy it. When the door was locked again, the troll went away. When the floodgates were opened, a troll returned and destroyed the locked door from the ramp outside, while the open floodgates were also apparently being destroyed from the ramps by other trolls. This may be related to the bug in which dwarves appear to be building diagonally as long as they can access the spot orthogonally. It is unknown whether this applies to an open path extending through the full length of a fortress, rather than just a few steps away through open floodgates.

==Annoying Variety: level 1==
When the value is '''1''', the creature will go after [[statue]]s, [[window]]s (glass or gem), [[archery target]]s, [[slab]]s, wooden [[door]]s, and wooden [[hatch]]es. They can't destroy homes during world gen as (semi)megabeasts.

'''[BUILDINGDESTROYER:1] creatures:'''
*[[Cave crocodile]]
*[[Giant cave spider]]
*[[Giant olm]]
*[[Giant cave toad]]

==<s>Dangerous</s> Fun Variety: level 2==
When the value is '''2''' the creature will actively seek out [[building]]s 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. [[Construction]]s (walls, staircase, floors, etc.) are still safe, since they're processed the same way natural terrain is for most situations.

The simplest way to keep building destroyer 2's from targets is with walls or channels. A [[bridge|drawbridge]] will act like a constructed wall ''(if up)'' or floor ''(if down)'', blocking building destroyer 2's without that danger of being destroyed.

Tame animals still carry their building destroyer tokens, and have been observed to occasionally topple a statue.

*[[Yeti]]
*All [[forgotten beast]]s, [[titan]]s, and [[demon|HFS creatures]]
*All [[Experiment]]s
*[[Werebeast]]s (in werebeast form only)

Level 2 building destroyers can destroy chairs, beds, tables, coffins, non-empty farm plots, furnaces, trade depots, shops, doors, floodgates, chests, weapon racks, armor stands, workshops, cabinets, statues, glass windows, gem windows, siege engines, archery targets, your embark wagon, screw pumps, unfinished constructions, floor hatches, wall/floor grates, wall/floor bars, gear assemblies, horizontal/vertical axles, water wheels, and windmills.

See the [[Modding guide]] for more information on creature tokens.

==Capture==

Considering a good part of the building destroyers are useful to capture, and that most of them are not trapavoid, you can easily trap them with the right arrangement of cage traps, furniture and walls.

See [[Trap design]] for more information on this subject.

==Undead==
All [[undead]] building destroyers are level 1 (except if they are undead versions of level 2 destroyers), and they also gain the ability to destroy wooden [[support]]s, which generally ends poorly for the creature.

Due to the way undeath is classified, "non-living" creatures such as [[magma man|magma men]], [[bronze colossus]]es, and inorganic [[forgotten beast]]s/[[titan]]s are also considered to be undead.{{verify}}

==Bugs==
* Building destroyers can, and will, destroy buildings even if there's one tile of empty space between them and the building. {{Bug|4585}} In fact, they cannot destroy immediately adjacent buildings, and they can become stuck if they start destroying the building while adjacent. This can be a result of a fight, for instance when a Forgotten Beast kills the last defender while standing in such a spot, then it won't move to a better suiting position and will stand idling, unless killed or distracted.

Settings

2026-07-03T04:10:24Z

Ziusudra: /* Portable mode */ added effect of changing

{{av}}
{{Quality|Fine}}
Settings for ''Dwarf Fortress'' can be accessed with a button on the main menu, which can be accessed in-game with {{Menu icon|Esc}}. They are divided into six groups; Video, Audio, Game, Keybindings, Announcements, and Difficulty. They are stored in several different files, including [[init.txt]], [[d_init.txt]], and [[interface.txt]], with current values in the <code>prefs\</code> folder and default values in the <code>data\init\</code> folder. The default files in <code>data\init\</code> include explanations of each setting, including possible values. The files in both <code>data\init\</code> and <code>prefs\</code> are read when ''Dwarf Fortress'' starts, in that order, with the last value read for each option being used. The location of the <code>prefs\</code> folder depends on various factors, see [[Game folders and files]]. Not all of the settings can be changed in game, including [[colors.txt]], [[arena.txt]], and some keybindings.

== Video ==
These settings change how the game looks and are all stored in <code>prefs\init.txt</code> and defaults in <code>data\init\init_default.txt</code>.
* '''Windowed or Fullscreen''' - the highlighted button is the active one and they correspond with [WINDOWED:YES] or [WINDOWED:NO] in the files. [WINDOWED:PROMPT] can be set in the files to make the game ask when starting up, in which case neither button will be highlighted.
* '''Resolution''' - the screen mode the game uses when in fullscreen mode, 'Detect' corresponds with [FULLSCREENX:0] and [FULLSCREENY:0] in the files.
* '''Scale interface''' - whether to scale the font used to draw interface elements such as the menus and minimap to a specific number of character cells, [INTERFACE_SCALING_TO_DESIRED_GRID:YES] in the files.
* '''Desired grid width and height''' - how much to scale the interface, in how many character cells wide and tall the interface should be. [INTERFACE_SCALING_DESIRED_GRID_WIDTH:170] and [INTERFACE_SCALING_DESIRED_GRID_HEIGHT:64] in the files. No effect if [INTERFACE_SCALING_TO_DESIRED_GRID:NO] is used.
* '''Interface scale percentage''' - percentage to scale the interface character cell size up when not scaling to specified grid counts, not every value makes a difference since the interface won't display a partial character at the edges. [INTERFACE_SCALING_PERCENTAGE:100] in the files, no effect if [INTERFACE_SCALING_TO_DESIRED_GRID:YES] is used.
* '''Initial window size''' - when not fullscreen, [WINDOWEDX:1200] and [WINDOWEDY:800] in the files.
* '''Window resizable''' - when not fullscreen, [RESIZABLE:YES] in the files.
* '''Maximum interface width''' - what percentage of the display the overlay interface elements can occupy, useful for extra wide displays to make notifications more visible. [MAXIMUM_INTERFACE_PERCENTAGE:100] in the files. The game will still use the entire window/screen and the minimap and elevation bar will stay at the edge.
* '''Graphical FPS cap''' - how many frames to cap the graphical display rate at. [G_FPS_CAP:50] in the files.
* '''Classic ASCII''' - [USE_CLASSIC_ASCII:NO] in the files.
* '''Scaling mode''' - NEAREST, nearest-neighbor, distorts shapes at some zoom levels; LANCZOS, less distortion but fuzzier at some zoom levels; AUTO, the default, will try to select whichever one is more appropriate depending on the zoom level. [TEXTURE_PARAM:AUTO] in the files.

As the interface gets narrower, some elements will be removed from the [[status]] bar when there's not enough room for all of them; some menus may also display elements under other elements or outside their window.

There are a few other file settings that can affect the display, see [[Technical_tricks#Settings_-_init.txt|technical tricks]].

== Audio ==
These settings change how the game plays sounds and are all stored in <code>prefs\init.txt</code> with defaults in <code>data\init\init_default.txt</code>. All volumes can be from 0 to 255 in the game files, with 255 being 100%.
* '''Master Volume''' - [MASTER_VOLUME:255] in the files.
* '''Music Volume (Fortress)''' - [MUSIC_VOLUME:255] in the files.
* '''Ambience Volume (Fortress)''' - [AMBIENCE_VOLUME:230] in the files.
* '''Sound Effects Volume (Fortress)''' - [SFX_VOLUME:204] in the files.
* '''Average Seconds Between Tracks/Interludes (Fortress)''' - [AVERAGE_TIME_BETWEEN_SONGS:240] in the files. The default of 240 gives a range of 180 to 300 seconds, which is 3 to 5 minutes. Can be anywhere from 10 to 600.
* '''Music Volume (Adventure)'''{{v|51.01}} - [MUSIC_VOLUME_ADV:217] in the files.
* '''Ambience Volume (Adventure)'''{{v|51.01}} - [AMBIENCE_VOLUME_ADV:240] in the files.
* '''Sound Effects Volume (Adventure)'''{{v|51.01}} - [SFX_VOLUME_ADV:230] in the files.

The classic version of the game available on the website only includes the original songs, so most of these will have no effect without the [[premium version]] or mods.

All sound can be disabled completely with [SOUND:NO] in the files. If so, the rest of these settings will be replaced by text explaining that sound is disabled and how to enable it.

== Game ==
These settings change how the game plays and most are stored in <code>prefs\d_init.txt</code> with defaults in <code>data\init\d_init_default.txt</code>, but some are in <code>prefs\init.txt</code> with defaults in <code>data\init\init_default.txt</code>.

=== Display all errors ===
* '''Display all errorlogs on screen'''{{v|53.15}} - when set to yes, all errors will be shown on screen. [DISPLAY_ALL_ERRORLOGS:NO] in init.txt, YES or NO.

=== Portable mode ===
* '''Portable mode'''{{v|52.01}} - when set to NO, the game stores mods, preferences, and saves in a folder specific to the user, (see [[game folders and files]] for details) when set to YES, it stores them in the game folder. Changing this only changes where the files will be written the next time, it does not immediately move them, or change anything else about them. Changing this to YES creates the empty file <code>prefs\portable.txt</code>, changing back to NO removes it; manually creating or removing the file changes the setting.

=== Autosaves ===
{{for/see|more information about autosaves|[[Saved_game_folder#Save_folder_format|Saved game folder]]}}
* '''Autosave frequency''' - when to autosave, [AUTOSAVE:SEMIANNUAL] in d_init.txt, NONE, SEASONAL, SEMIANNUALLY, or YEARLY.
* '''Autosave at embark''' - [INITIAL_SAVE:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO. Additionally to initial saving the game: If set to YES (and the game is paused in the beginning) then the game is paused (and saved) before a dwarf gets assigned to fishing duty (if water to fish in is available), otherwise (meaning this option is set to NO), if there is water, a dwarf is assigned to fishing duty (even if the game is paused in the beginning).

=== Pausing ===
* '''Pause after autosave''' - [AUTOSAVE_PAUSE:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Pause after loading''' - [PAUSE_ON_LOAD:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.

=== Embark ===
* '''Always confirm embark''' - asks for confirmation of the embark location even if there are no warnings such as for [[aquifer]]s, dangerous [[surroundings]], etc, [EMBARK_WARNING_ALWAYS:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Confirm preparations''' - [POST_PREPARE_EMBARK_CONFIRMATION:IF_POINTS_REMAIN] in d_init.txt, ALWAYS, IF_POINTS_REMAIN, or NO.
* '''Show tunnels when embarking''' - for dwarven [[tunnel]]s, shown as a black dashed line or grey double line with classic ASCII, [SHOW_EMBARK_TUNNEL:FINDER] in d_init.txt, FINDER, ALWAYS, or NO.{{verify|is there a difference between ALWAYS and FINDER now?}} More restrictive world generation settings will override these.
* '''Default embark width and height''' - also determines what is considered a normal embark size and will only warn when the actual embark is larger than this many (width × height) tiles, [EMBARK_RECTANGLE:4:4] in d_init.txt, 2 to 16. See Maximum embark dimension below. (This option is actually listed after the feature toggles on the tab in game.)
* '''Maximum embark dimension''' - maximum width or height for an embark, larger sizes may be buggy and need much more memory, [MAXIMUM_EMBARK_DIM:6] in d_init.txt, 6 to 16. (This option is actually listed in game near the bottom of the tab, before the dye and scroll options.)

=== Feature toggles ===
* '''Enable temperature''' - If temperature calculations are off, only a few direct temperature changes will take place. For example, magma will set tiles and creatures to high temperatures, but those tiles will never cool and those creatures will not catch fire. Effects that rely on temperature calculations, such as water freezing, melting, or evaporating, or creatures and items taking temperature-related damage, will not occur. May affect FPS in unusual circumstances, [TEMPERATURE:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Enable weather''' - toggles rain and snow, rarely affects FPS, [WEATHER:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.{{verify|does this affect wind or evil weather?}}
* '''Enable caveins''' - toggles [[cave-ins]], [CAVEINS:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Enable artifact moods''' - toggles [[strange mood]]s and the resulting [[artifact]]s, [ARTIFACTS:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.{{verify|does this affect world gen artifacts?}}
* '''Enable testing arena''' - [TESTING_ARENA:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Walking spreads spatter (fort mode)''' - toggle the spread of blood spatter and other [[contaminant]]s by creatures on ground tiles in fortress mode. As spatter can infinitely spread, it is recommended to leave this as "NO". [WALKING_SPREADS_SPATTER_DWF:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Walking spreads spatter (adv mode)'''{{v|51.01}} - toggle the spread of blood spatter and other [[contaminant]]s by creatures on ground tiles in adventure mode. As spatter can help with tracking creatures, it is recommended to leave this as "YES". [WALKING_SPREADS_SPATTER_ADV:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Enable keyboard cursor''' - allows for using the keyboard controls for some designations, [KEYBOARD_CURSOR:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO. Arrow keys {{k|↑←↓→}} move one tile, {{k|WASD}} 10 tiles, and {{k|Shift|WASD|sep=+}} 20 tiles; also see [[Settings#Keyboard_scroll_amounts|Keyboard scroll amounts]] section below.
* '''Log world rejects''' - logs the reasons worlds were rejected in ``[[map_rejection_log.txt]]``, useful in [[advanced world generation]] and [[modding]], [LOG_MAP_REJECTS:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO. ''Dwarf Fortress'' will keep adding to the file, so you may want to trim or delete it occasionally.
* '''Multithreading''' - limited experimental multithreading, [MULTITHREADING:NO] in d_init.txt.
* '''Classic varied ground tiles'''{{v|51.05}} - if changed to NO, ground tiles will be displayed only with periods in ASCII mode, [CLASSIC_VARIED_GROUND_TILES:YES] in d_init.txt. (This option is actually listed in game near the bottom of the tab, before the scroll options.)
* '''Show rectangle dimensions'''{{v|51.06}} - if changed to NO, hides the size display when drawing selection rectangles, [SHOW_RECTANGLE_DIMENSIONS:YES] in d_init.txt. (This option is actually listed in game near the bottom of the tab, before the scroll options.)

=== Pathing costs ===
* '''Path costs''' - extreme changes to these may cause more lag, [PATH_COST:1:2:5:25] in d_init.txt, 1 to 1000.
* '''Storage path cost decreases''' - controls how aggressively dwarves place objects in a container with like items (rather than an empty container). The default combine options are very aggressive. All in d_init.txt, 2 to 1000.
** [STORE_DIST_ITEM_DECREASE:20] - for each object found in a container, one tile is removed from its apparent distance to the dwarf, up to this cap
** [STORE_DIST_SEED_COMBINE:1000] - a bag with seeds already in it will appear this many tiles closer
** [STORE_DIST_BUCKET_COMBINE:1000] - a bucket with the same liquid already in it will appear this many tiles closer
** [STORE_DIST_BARREL_COMBINE:1000] - a barrel with the same item type already in it will appear this many tiles closer
** [STORE_DIST_BIN_COMBINE:1000] - a bin with the same item type already in it will appear this many tiles closer

=== Population and seed capacities ===
* '''Population caps''' - can be changed at will to limit migration, strict also prevents births, [POPULATION_CAP:200] and [STRICT_POPULATION_CAP:220] in d_init.txt, 0 to 5000. Certain game features are triggered by population number, see [[difficulty]]. Some of those features may also cause the actual population to slightly go over these.
* '''Children limits''' - how many and what percentage of total there can be at a time, [BABY_CHILD_CAP:100:1000] in d_init.txt, 0 to 1000. Only prevents further pregnancies, so migrant children, multiple births and existing pregnancies from old saves can still push you over the cap. Setting either number to zero will disallow new pregnancies in the fortress.
* '''Visitor cap''' - This does not include merchants, diplomats, animals or invaders, but only those dropping by for a temporary visit to a tavern, library or temple, or those seeking permanent employment. Once you accept a petition from a visitor to stay at your fort, they no longer count against the cap, even if they never become a full citizen. [VISITOR_CAP:100] in d_init.txt, 0 to 5000.
* '''Dead units cull''' - During a season changeover, the game checks if there's a certain number of units in play. If it is above this amount, it removes all the unimportant dead units who died at least two years ago. [CULL_DEAD_UNITS_AT:1000] in d_init.txt, 100 to 5000.
* '''Seed caps''' - per type and total, when over the total cap, seeds will be periodically removed, starting with the oldest and most worthless. [SPECIFIC_SEED_CAP:200] 0 to 10000 and [FORTRESS_SEED_CAP:3000] 0 to 30000 in d_init.txt.

=== Information display ===
* '''Engraving display''' - [ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Improvement quality display''' - [SHOW_IMP_QUALITY:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Numeric liquid levels''' - can be toggled in game either with a button next to the minimap or a keybind {{menu icon|f}}, [SHOW_FLOW_AMOUNTS:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Ramp arrows''' - can be toggled in game either with a button next to the minimap or a keybind {{menu icon|r}}, [SHOW_RAMP_ARROWS:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Elevation layers display''' - [NUMBER_OF_LOWER_ELEVATIONS_SHOWN:8] in d_init.txt, 0 to 8.
* '''Engraving historical events''' - [SHOW_ALL_HISTORY_IN_DWARF_MODE:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Nickname display''' - [NICKNAME_DWARF:REPLACE_FIRST], [NICKNAME_ADVENTURE:REPLACE_FIRST], [NICKNAME_LEGENDS:REPLACE_FIRST] in d_init.txt, REPLACE_FIRST, CENTRALIZE (between first and last), or REPLACE_ALL.

=== Grazing coefficient ===
* '''Grazing coefficient''' - how much grazers get from grazing, larger numbers mean less food is needed. [GRAZE_COEFFICIENT:100] in d_init.txt, 1 to 1000000.

=== FPS ===
* '''Show FPS''' - the first number is simulation rate, the number in parentheses is graphical FPS, [FPS:NO] in init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Game FPS cap''' - limits how quickly the game runs the simulation, [FPS_CAP:100] in init.txt, 5 to 1000. This cap can also be temporarily changed on the fly by ~10% with {{k|Alt|Equals|sep=+}} and {{k|Alt|Minus|sep=+}}; if '''Show FPS''' is set to yes, then pressing either of those will briefly show what the cap has been changed to.

=== Input timings ===
* '''Key hold time''' - [KEY_HOLD_MS:250] in init.txt, 100 to 20000.
* '''Key repeat time''' - [KEY_REPEAT_MS:150] in init.txt, 100 to 20000.
* '''Key repeat acceleration''' - [KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_START:10] 1 to 1000 and [KEY_REPEAT_ACCEL_LIMIT:8] 2 to 100 in init.txt.
* '''Interface shutdown time''' - how long after a view recenter to ignore input, [RECENTER_INTERFACE_SHUTDOWN_MS:0] in init.txt, 0 to 2000.
* '''Macro timing''' - [MACRO_MS:15] in init.txt, 1 to 2000.

=== Compressed saves ===
* '''Compressed saves''' - saves drive space (since running out of space while saving '''will''' corrupt the save) at the expense of slowing down save operations, [COMPRESSED_SAVES:YES] in init.txt, YES or NO.

=== Dye display ===
* '''Display worn clothing dyes (fort mode)'''{{v|50.15}} - if set to the default NO, color will be determined by [[profession]], mostly only useful in ASCII mode, [DISPLAY_CLOTHING_WITH_DYES_IN_FORT_MODE:NO] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.
* '''Display worn clothing dyes (adv mode)'''{{v|51.01}} - if changed to NO, color will be determined by profession, [DISPLAY_CLOTHING_WITH_DYES_IN_ADV_MODE:YES] in d_init.txt, YES or NO.

=== Keyboard scroll amounts ===
* '''Keyboard scroll tiles'''{{v|51.11}} - how many tiles to scroll with the "Move view/cursor" keys (default {{k|WASD}}, the FAST settings are used for {{k|Shift|WASD|sep=+}}) in the normal and world views, as well as the [[Settings#Feature_toggles|keyboard cursor]], though for that, the cursor keys {{k|↑←↓→}} also always move 1 tile, in addition to these values for the "Move view/cursor" keys. 1 to 100, and the following tokens in d_init.txt
**[HORIZONTAL_SCROLL_SPEED:10]
**[HORIZONTAL_SCROLL_SPEED_FAST:20]
**[VERTICAL_SCROLL_SPEED:10]
**[VERTICAL_SCROLL_SPEED_FAST:20]
**[HORIZONTAL_SCROLL_SPEED_WORLD:10]
**[HORIZONTAL_SCROLL_SPEED_WORLD_FAST:20]
**[VERTICAL_SCROLL_SPEED_WORLD:10]
**[VERTICAL_SCROLL_SPEED_WORLD_FAST:20]

== Keybindings ==
{{main|Controls}}{{main|interface.txt}}
These settings change the controls and are all stored in interface.txt.

== Announcements ==
{{main|Announcement}}{{main|announcements.txt}}
Used to control how different announcements are displayed in Dwarf Fortress. This can be useful to add alerts for critical combat events, stopping the recentering on birth events, or reducing the constant chatter of announcements like 'quota filled' or 'someone is visiting'.

== Difficulty ==
{{main|Difficulty}}
This tab is only available when in a fortress game, and these settings are initially set when starting a fortress game. Since they are specific to each save they are stored as part of the save and are not editable outside the game. They are divided into two groups: enemies and economy; enemies can be disabled, both groups have normal and hard presets, and all of the individual settings can be adjusted in '''Custom settings'''. The values used in each preset can be seen by selecting the preset and then viewing them in '''Custom settings'''.

Creature

2026-07-02T21:50:55Z

Ziusudra: /* Extinct */ added some links, era having no effect, base vermin being on that page

{{Quality|Masterwork|14:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)}}
{{av}}{{Category|Creatures}}
[[File:creatures_preview2.png|right]]In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world and any element inside it. The creatures in the game range from being entirely realistic to completely mythical. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.

Some creatures have [[skill]]s that match what type of creature they are (e.g. [[monkey]]s having legendary climbing skill). Though most creatures can be found in any mode, some are exclusive to [[adventure mode]] or [[fortress mode]]. Some creatures are randomly and procedurally generated, meaning they could have many different sprites in-game. Creatures of that type may have just one to a few sprites showcased out of many in the list below. A question-mark placeholder may also be shown instead. Also note that creatures with the {{token|ARENA_RESTRICTED}} or {{token|DOES_NOT_EXIST}} tokens cannot be spawned in the [[object testing arena]], similarly to [[vermin]] (e.g. [[fly|flies]], [[worm]]s).

Nearly all creatures in the game, including [[Megabeast|very]] [[Giant sperm whale|large]] [[Sea serpent|ones]], take the space of a single tile, even if their [[Graphics|sprites]] imply otherwise ([[wagons]] being the only exception). There are 870 creatures in the game. In adventure mode, creatures can have different labels to differentiate similar ones from [[historical figure]]s. For example, a goblin may be labeled as a "white-haired goblin bowyer" while another would be a "high-cheekbones goblin bowyer". There are also extinct creatures, which exist as a separate category, that can be completely removed from a world, only existing either in the wild or as domesticated beings, depending on the player's settings. Many of these extinct creatures are based on real-world prehistoric animals, and also - like the other animals in the game - exist in humanoid form.

==Spawning==
[[File:creatures_many.png|thumb|right|124px|Many creatures packed into one area, but in ASCII mode.]]The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. Additionally, there are several [[creature token]]s in the [[raws]] that deal with creature spawning:
*<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0-100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
*<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at one time on a map.
*<tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines the ''total number'' of this type of creature that can ''ever'' visit your fortress - the exact number varies, depending on the map.

For example, [[deer]] have a <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]</tt>, meaning that if you kill between 15-30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.

==Reading the Table==
{{v50_creaturecurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:
* '''Graphic:''' The sprite assigned to the creature. Seen only in the [[premium version]].
* '''Tile:''' The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.
* '''Name:''' The name of the creature as it displays in-game.
* '''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ({{token|SITE_CONTROLLABLE|e}}). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an {{token|ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|e}} civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}}, but an {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civ still needs to have existed at some point. Creatures with {{token|LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|c}} are also playable in adventure mode.
* '''Hostile:''' If "Yes", then the creature will attack on sight,{{verify}} if "No" then the creature is either neutral, or friendly - mindless [[undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.
* '''Food Source:''' If "Yes", then the creature can be butchered into an [[meat|edible substance]] that your dwarves will feed on.
* '''Adult Body Size:''' The average [[size]] of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]], to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. This value represents the creature's volume in cm3, which, for creatures made of flesh, more-or-less equals the creature's weight in grams.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredibly skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).
* '''Pet Value:''' This is the base value that the creature and its butchering products can be bought and sold for during [[trading]].
* '''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.
* '''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, including things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

Note: If you wish to view alternate ways of sorting creatures, such as sorting by biomes and location, or sorting domestic creatures by features, there is a new page found here: [[Alternate creature sorting]]

==Creatures==
===Civilized===
====Main races====
These are intelligent creatures that form the dominant [[civilisation|civilized]] races of the world. While most are part of society, many have turned to [[Bandits|banditry]].

:1. Whether or not you are hostile with select civilized races depends on the history of your game world, and its length. Shorter histories mean less ongoing wars and general hostility, good for a newer player to learn the basics.
:2. Snatchers try to snatch children of other civilizations. Snatched individuals become part of the Snatcher's civilization.

==== Underground Tribes ====
Intelligent [[animal people]] that form crude civilizations underground, but will not trade with you. They wield some weapons and can join adventurers. They can also perform [[Ambush|ambushes]] once the [[cavern]]s are reached, depending on which creatures are hostile.

:1. Animal person civilizations initially encountered in the caverns will never be hostile, even if the game states otherwise. Those encountered in ambushes, however, will be aggressive.
:2. Ant-men body sizes depend on their caste.

=== Livestock and Domestic Animals ===


Creatures that have long been [[Domestic animal|domesticated]], and either play a part in the [[meat industry]], or are simply [[pet]]s to keep dwarves company. Note: Except for [[wagon]]s, domestic animals can be bought at embark, or requested from dwarven caravans. Animals of these types below that are caught in the wild with [[cage trap]]s can be tamed after only one session with an [[animal trainer]].

===Beasts and Monsters===
All kinds of monstrous creatures that roam the land and underground caverns, including: [[semi-megabeast]]s, [[megabeast]]s, and randomly generated ones that can take any form. all very powerful and can easily be game-ending.

====Procedurally generated====
These creatures are procedurally generated, and different for every savefile. Their raws may be extracted from the world.dat file in uncompressed save folders. Their sprite will appear as the closest resemblance to their randomly generated appearance, including their colors and design, such as having wings, trunks, tusks, etc. The animated sprites below are just a few possible sprites without custom colors added.

=== Wild Animals ===
This section includes wild [[animals]], as well as their giant and humanoid counterparts. Wild animals are mostly found roaming the wilderness. Many of them are predators, while others are benign, and will not attack unless being attacked first. Some will be drawn to your stockpiles to steal [[steals drink|drink]], [[Steals food|food]] or [[Steals items|something shiny]]. Some can be easily overcome, and yet others can be significant threats, like the dreaded [[elephant]].

==== Agitation ====
Disruption of the environment in a [[savage]] biome, such as [[woodcutting]] or [[fishing]], may cause the appearance of "agitated" or "irritated" animals. Agitated animals will directly seek out and attack dwarves, instead of their normal behavior. Agitation rate and threshold can be adjusted in the [[Difficulty#Wilderness_irritation|difficulty]] [[settings]]. Agitation can be removed by [[taming]] animals captured in [[cage trap]]s. With [[DFHack]], it is possible to check current agitation status by executing the command <code>agitation-rebalance status</code>[https://docs.dfhack.org/en/stable/docs/tools/agitation-rebalance.html].

===Extinct===
Added in the [[Release information/53.15|Dino Update]], [[extinct]] creatures are a separate class of creatures, including their [[animal person]] variants. These creatures are further classified by the prehistoric time period they existed in: [[wikipedia:Cambrian|Cambrian]], [[wikipedia:Carboniferous|Carboniferous]] , [[wikipedia:Cenozic|Cenozic]], [[wikipedia:Cretaceous|Cretaceous]], [[wikipedia:Devonian|Devonian]], [[wikipedia:Jurassic|Jurassic]], [[wikipedia:Ordovician|Ordovician]], [[wikipedia:Permian|Permian]], [[wikipedia:Silurian|Silurian]] and [[wikipedia:Triassic|Triassic]], though this era classification currently has no effect on how or where they appear. A [[World generation#Real world extinct creatures|world generation option]] controls if and where they appear. If generated in a world, the animal people can be playable in adventurer mode; some of the animal people listed here are based on [[Vermin#Extinct|extinct vermin]], which are listed on that page.

:1. In some worlds, intelligent experiments escape their creators and join normal civilizations. They will then be playable in adventurer mode. 
:2. The player cannot normally start out as an intelligent undead, but can [[unretire]] a former adventurer that has been resurrected. This can also be done (without unretiring) by using [[Adventurer mode character creation#Party summary|adventurer parties]]. 
:3. The player cannot start out as a necromancer, but can gain necromancer powers by reading a slab or book containing the secrets of life and death. 
:4. The player cannot start out as a vampire, but can become one by feeding on spilled vampire blood. [[Animal people]] with the ability to suck blood can also gain vampirism by blood-sucking a vampire during combat.
:5. The player cannot start out as a werebeast, but can [[Werebeast#Becoming a werebeast|become one]] by getting bitten by one, or cursed by a deity.

==Trivia==
*[[File:placeholder_sprite.png|right|thumb|The debug creature.]]If the game does not recognize a creature and/or cannot find the [[Graphics#Creature_Graphics|sprite associated for it]], the sprite will default to a blue, round, blob-like face with stubby legs.
*Many of the original [[Cavern#Creatures|underground creatures]] were drawn by [[Toady One|Tarn]] and [[ThreeToe|Zach]] Adams "in a couple of notebooks in our parents' living room one day, more than a decade ago, when we were trying to populate the [[v0.31:Release_information#The_Underground|new-at-the-time]] 3D [[Cavern|underground]]." ([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html#2024-06-25 Bay 12 Games]) While most of these were implemented in [[v0.31:Release_information|v0.31]], some concepts were left on the cutting room floor.

Extinction

[[File:extinct_preview.png|right]]'''Extinction''' means one of three things in ''Dwarf Fortress''.

== Extinct creatures ==
With the release of the [[Release_information/53.15|Dino Update]], [[Creature#Extinct|extinct creatures]] from the real world were added to the game, including [[animal person]] variants of them. Depending on the options chosen when [[World generation#Real world extinct creatures|generating a world]], these extinct creatures can be removed entirely, made to only exist in certain circumstances, or to exist as domesticated animals. They are classified by the prehistoric era they existed in, but this has no effect on how or where they appear. These creatures aren't inherently related to the concept of extinction as defined on the rest of this page, though it is possible for them to become locally extinct in an area they initially existed in.

== Sapient extinction ==
The first meaning of the word pertains to [[world generation]]: fighting between different sapient species may be so intense that a particular sapient species is wiped out entirely, going extinct in the process. Extinction events are exceedingly rare in larger worlds, but surprisingly common in pocket ones, where inter-species competition is at its fiercest. Sapient species that go extinct will obviously no longer [[caravan|trade]] with your dwarves, nor threaten them with [[ambush]]es or [[siege]]s. You can somehow still start a fortress mode game in a map vacated of any dwarves, but will not receive any [[migrant]]s beyond the first two (hard-coded) waves, nor any [[noble]] appointments (including the [[monarch]]). Conversely, if your fortress receives a third migrant wave, a dwarf trade caravan, or a monarch, then your civilization was not truly extinct, only "dying". Civilizations can remain "dying" for hundreds of years{{bug|9503}}, and the game won't allow you to embark from an extinct civilization if any non-extinct civilizations are available, so a truly extinct civilization embark is fairly difficult to obtain, but not impossible.{{cite_forum|154368.msg6754648#msg6754648}}

On a smaller scale, landmass-specific extinctions can also occur, and although they are not nearly so dramatic as ''mass'' extinctions and are in fact quite common, they can still affect your game. This usually happens on separated landmasses, and [[island]]s inhabited by more than one sapient species below a certain area. Since [[civilization]]s cannot yet cross bodies of water that don't freeze over, such extinctions will affect your gameplay should you chose to settle on such a landmass. The effect of settling someplace inaccessible to dwarves is the same as starting a fortress when they are extinct: only two hard-coded migrant waves.

[[Calendar#Ages|Calendar ages]] are greatly influenced by the relative lack - or abundance - of sapient life in your world, and so provide an at-a-glance view of the state of civilization on your lonely planet (if you know what they stand for, of course). Two calendar ages are more directly associated with extinction: the ''Age of Death'' and the ''Age of Emptiness'', in which all civilizations have been wiped out. Actually getting these to happen can be difficult - the latter can only be achieved by killing every civilized creature in a world in Adventurer mode, then committing suicide, then [[embark]]ing on the same map in fortress mode, then committing suicide with all of ''those'' dwarves. Once all of this is done, you will finally get an [[announcement]] telling you of the passing of the age. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=46033.0 It's been done before].

== Site extinction ==
The second, more nuanced form of extinction has to do with the wildlife in your [[surroundings]]. Every [[site]] can have a certain number of [[creature]]s appear in it; ''which'' creatures depends on the site's [[biome]]s, ''how often'' depends on the <tt>[FREQUENCY]</tt> [[creature token]] in their [[raw file]]s, ''how many'' depends on the number of biomes you abridge and on the creature's <tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:#]</tt>, and ''how many before none will ever appear in the wild again'' depends on a somewhat randomized token in specific creatures' definitions, the <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:#:#]</tt> tag. That is, if as many (wild, non-[[mount|siege mount]]) creatures die or are [[cage trap|captured]] and kept upon visiting your fortress as <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER]</tt> is set to, they will be considered locally extinct, and will have their range clipped from your fortress surroundings.

This cap will not limit any [[breeding]] you do once you have captured the creature, and will obviously not affect any creatures visiting your [[site]] that are allowed to leave. It ''will'' affect the maximum number of non-breeding creatures that you can have at your fortress, however, and will not allow the appearance of creatures in clusters larger than are allowed by the cap. Note that the cap is biome-specific: even though [[sea serpent]]s are capped at one serpent per site, it is possible to get multiples, and even [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=75780.0 start a breeding program], if your fortress abridges multiple valid biomes - note that such a breeding program wouldn't work in the current version, as sea serpents are now egg-laying and aquatic egg-layers don't breed due to a bug)

Every time a species becomes locally extinct it is (obviously) taken out of the wildlife visitation rotation. Rendering a policy of mass genocide on the countryside can thus eventually force the appearance of a sought-after species of wildlife, if you push hard enough. However, for the most part the number of creatures that can appear in the biome is so large, and the population caps are set so high, that it doesn't seriously affect gameplay. Aggressively hunting the local wildlife ''will'' eventually restrict its variety, however, and eventually you can prevent ''any'' wildlife from spawning at all on your map.

The cap does have important ramifications for a few specific species, however. Wildlife appearances on [[glacier]]s are heavily restricted, for instance, so the particularly aggressive [[yeti]], which only appears five to ten times, is often made extinct very quickly. Because of a bug, aquatic vermin do not restock when fished, resulting in guaranteed eventual extinction.{{bug|2780}} [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=84112.msg2252463#msg2252463 A certain nuance] of the tag's implementation allows maintained hunting of certain species, with some micromanagement: if a cluster (or pack) of animals appears on the map, as long as at least one animal in that cluster is allowed to leave, the species will not have been considered depleted. This obviously does not work on solitary creatures. Another option is to capture a [[breed]]ing pair and release their (untamed) young back into the wild; doing so can even raise the site population past its starting value.

===Natural regeneration===
Supposedly, wildlife populations very slowly naturally repopulate due to continuous world-gen/[[world activities]].{{cite mantis|2780/c36019}} Whether this can happen if they are locally extinct is unknown.

== Repopulating site extinction with DFHack ==

To fully bring back creatures from permanent extinction, the DFHack [https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html#region-pops region-pops] can help. The script is versatile, and when used correctly, can selectively weed out creatures a player does not want to bring back. This tool is not perfect, and with time, creatures you have weeded out may return. This may be due to a range limit, and does not take very long range migration into account.

To view which animals may spawn in your embark, use 'region-pops list-all'.

=== Repopulation ===
To get started, first download the template [https://github.com/EldrickWT/eld-dfhack-scripts here] named 'region-pops.list' (credits to EldrickWT), and open it up with any text editor. The finished file should be structured like a .bat (all commands are stated before the options). By default, this scriptlet will remove every creature, which is not what we want. All we have to do is flip (or replace) the value into a positive number. Once done, save, copy and paste it in to the dfhack terminal. This script will restock all creatures with the value you inserted.

=== Fine tuning ===
With the basic repopulation done, you can fine-tune which creatures you don't want out with this part. Since a negative value removes creatures from the region, you can add below the last line, 'region-pops incr-all BIRD -X' to remove X from all creatures with 'BIRD' in its name. This also includes giant and animal person variants. Just remember to have the removing part at least larger than the repopulation part, to play it safe. Flying creatures often have a big impact on FPS, and removing them from your embark will definitely help. After saving the file, you can easily copy and paste your preferred region populations on every new playthrough.

There is (currently) no known script to repopulate civilizations.

World generation

{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{av}}
[[File:worldgen_small_steam.png|thumb|250px|right|A standard small-sized world.]]

To begin playing, you must first '''generate a world''' to play in. World generation can take a long time and may seem like a nuisance, but it is actually the heart of the game.

While you wait for the counter to finish, an entire fantasy world with unique geography, history, and even language is created. Entire civilizations rise, wage war, fall, rise again, and fall. Countless characters, each with a unique appearance and personality, live their lives, some of them calmly, while others go out and influence history. The world's complexity could rival the works of Tolkien himself. These [[World activities|activities continue]] even after world generation, as you play the game. ''Dwarf Fortress'' is not only a game, it is a gigantic fantasy world simulator. [[Fortress mode|Fortress]] and [[adventurer mode|Adventurer]] modes allow you to influence a tiny part of that tale and write ([[Legends|or read]]) your own chapter; one chapter in an enormous bookshelf.

== Basic world generation menu ==
{{Dual image
|premium=File:DFwikiBasicWorldGenSteam.png
|classic=File:DFwikiBasicWorldGenASCII.png
|width=640px
|caption=Basic world gen menu
}}

=== World map size ===
This controls the size of the world map. Using basic world generation, the size options are:

* Pocket (17×17 region tiles)
* Smaller (33×33)
* Small (65×65)
* Medium (129×129)
* Large (257×257)

Each region tile corresponds to 16×16 local area blocks of 48×48 [[tile]]s each.

Setting this to a larger value will cause world generation to take longer, as more events will need to be calculated per step. Selecting bigger worlds will reduce the [[Frames per second|framerate]] (update speed) of the game in fortress mode.{{verify}}

| 867
|}

=== History length ===
[[File:history_gen_steam.gif|thumb|right|278px|Animation of a pocket world's land and history being developed.]]This is the (maximum) length of pre-generated history. The number of years for the currently selected length will be shown in the lower right. A longer history allows more time for civilizations to grow, attack each other, and starve to death before the player can start playing. It also determines the amount of time that [[megabeast]]s will have to roam and kill things, get killed, etc. The longer the history, the more historical events will be generated by the time gameplay begins.

Note that history generation can be interrupted and the world saved far short of the selected history value. (Players might choose to do so if they are trying to reach a certain [[Calendar#Ages|age]], if they want to embark near a [[Tower (necromancy)|tower]], or if worldgen has slowed to a crawl, for instance). The actual length of history generation determines the details of the world; the history configuration setting only establishes a maximum year at which generation will stop automatically.

Longer histories will cause world generation to take longer, both because there are more years of events and because there tend to be more events in subsequent years. Conversely, shorter histories will take much less time to generate, but may limit some features (civilization size, sites, knowledge, historical artifacts, and necromancer towers). Longer histories will also increase the number of abandoned (sacked) towns and fortresses, which can matter for adventure mode, but conversely, doesn't matter that much for fortress mode. The recommended values for worlds you plan to use for adventure mode are Short or Medium.

History will still progress after world generation, concurrently with normal gameplay, but this will, of course, be much slower (around two weeks per session start, in either fortress or adventurer mode). Therefore, it is recommended to set the history length so that the number of sites, megabeasts, and historical events is roughly what one wants it to be during gameplay. During play, the world and its history will continue to develop, but it is unclear to what degree that corresponds to regular world-gen.

The youngest world possible to generate is 2 years old. This can be done through custom world-gen parameters. For more information on the history aspect of the game, see [[Legends]] and [[Calendar#Ages|Ages]].

=== Number of civilizations ===
This controls the number of distinct civilizations that exist in a world. Civilizations are [[Dwarf|dwarves]], [[human]]s, [[goblin]]s, [[kobold]]s and [[Elf|elves]]. It should be noted that this refers to different kingdoms of the same races, where a smaller number of civilizations (smaller than 5 - 7) may exclude one or two races from your world, but fewer civilizations will reduce history generation time, while larger numbers of civilizations would increase history generation time and make historical events happen much more often.

The maximum amount of civilizations is affected by the world size. At higher numbers (> 40) humans, kobolds and elves are more frequent than dwarves and goblins.

=== Maximum number of sites ===
This affects the maximum number of [[Advanced_world_generation#Site_cap_after_civ_creation|new sites]] such as [[town]]s, [[hamlet]]s, [[forest retreat]]s, etc. existing civilizations can expand to during world generation combined. New sites increase the maximum amount of members of the civilization founding the site. High site numbers increase the duration of history generation by a huge amount of time. With very low site numbers, only the civilization's home settlements may exist after a few years of history with a high probability of getting eradicated by some event. Turning this up is advised for adventure mode games.

The total amount of sites is affected by the selected world size.

=== Number of beasts ===
This controls the number of [[megabeast]]s, [[semi-megabeast]]s and [[titan]]s that exist at the beginning of the world. They can later die (get killed) due to historical events, so the longer the history, the more likely some of them will die. The number of beasts does not appear to impact how often your fortress will be attacked by beasts in [[fortress mode]]. In [[adventure mode]], it means it will be easier to find more megabeasts. If set very low, then you may actually run out of beasts during a game.

Since beasts can attack civilizations, more beasts may reduce the population of the world a little bit. The total amount of beasts is affected by the selected world size:

*Read numbers as: Megabeasts // Semi-megabeasts // Titans

=== Natural savagery ===
Increasing this value increases the number of [[Surroundings#Savage|savage]] [[biome]]s in the world. In short, this means that more areas are likely to have aggressive animals which may try to kill dwarves immediately upon embark, and attack adventurers more often while traveling.

New players may want to just leave this at the Medium setting (which isn't that hard) or set it lower. Turn this up to make the game more [[losing|fun]].

=== Real world extinct creatures ===

|-

| Can also exist in all but the least savage areas.
|-
! Domesticated
| Can also exist as domesticated animals in civilizations.
|}

=== Mineral occurrence ===
This is a rather important parameter, new players should probably leave it at ''everywhere''. It determines the how often ores and gems appear in an area, including wherever you try to build a fortress. It also determines the types of metals that [[civilization]]s have access to, which can limit types of items that are available at embark preparation, [[adventure mode]] character creation, and in most generated sites. See [[Advanced_world_generation#Mineral_Scarcity|Mineral Scarcity]] for more details.

The name of the world will be randomized in basic world generation mode. The Pause button will not immediately stop the simulation, since the game will only pause at the end of a year; to ensure that the game registers the pause request, click and '''hold''' the button until it pauses.

=== Rejections ===
{{main|World rejection}}
You may notice that during various phases of the world generation process, worlds will be rejected, leading to the rejection count going up and the process starting over. This happens because certain factors, such as the number of mountain tiles, can't be determined ahead of time by the generation process. Instead, worlds are generated with parameters which are likely to produce worlds that can support a required number of mountains, and are then checked to make sure they meet the criteria. For example, the random generation of the topography of the land may result in too few high-elevation areas to place mountains.

In practice, you don't need to worry about this for basic world generation, because the preset hidden values that determine acceptable criteria are designed to decrease the chance of rejections, but certain combinations of basic parameters (especially with very large worlds) may make it harder for the process to generate "acceptable" worlds. Basically, what this amounts to is that world generation will just take longer for certain parameter selections that are more difficult for the generator to satisfy.

=== Map generation ===
[[File:resources_worldgen_steam.png|thumb|320px|right|Location and resources section of the screen.]] First ''Dwarf Fortress'' generates the map topography. This process is generally much faster than history generation (unless you've specified parameters that lead to constant map rejections).

In an interview{{cite|gamedeveloper|https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/q-a-dissecting-the-development-of-i-dwarf-fortress-i-with-creator-tarn-adams}}, [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] described map generation:

:"It allocates the memory for the map. Then it chooses what sort of pole (e.g. north, south) it is going to have (or respects the parameters fed by the player, throughout.) The basic map field values (elevation, rainfall, temperature, drainage, volcanism, wildness) are seeded along a grid of variable size, respecting various settings (oceans, island sizes, other variances, etc.), and then filled in fractally. The poles vary the temperature, and it selects some points for the highest peaks. Here it does a first pass to see how it is doing, and attempts to adjust some altitudes to fit the map within the desired parameters if it missed. The world can be rejected at this point if it is unfixable, and it tries again.

:The first derived field, vegetation, is then set based on elevation, rainfall, temperature, etc., and it tests for [[biome]] rejections if the map's biomes don't satisfy the ranges set in the parameters. The mid-level elevations are smoothed at this point to make more plains areas, and volcanoes are placed respecting the hot spots in the volcanism field.

:Then we enter the erosion and river stage. Small oceans are dried out, and it locates edges of mountain sides where it can run test rivers. It also places the camera on one of these so the player can watch the process. Many fake rivers flow downward from these points, carving channels in the elevation field if they can't find a path to the sea. Extreme elevations differences are often smoothed here so that everything isn't canyons. Ideally we'd use mineral types for that, but we don't yet. Lakes are grown out at several points along the rivers.

:Elevations are smoothed again from the mountains down to the sea, and the peaks and volcanoes do some local adjustments. Now that the elevations are finalized, it makes adjustments to rainfall based on rain shadows and orographic precipitation. Temperatures are reset based on elevation and rainfall and the dampening effects of forests, and it uses the new values to set the vegetation level one final time. Salinity values are set for the ocean and tiles neighboring the ocean.

:Now that everything has settled down, we can detect the limits of the final biome regions and give them names and their own identity. We also add the geological layers and the underground layers here, though the geological stuff should really be earlier, as previously mentioned. There's a final verification process against the parameters here, to make sure it hasn't drifted too far afield from what the player wanted. Once that's done, it generates the initial wildlife populations in each region, and sets some weather variables."

=== History ===
After generating the world, ''Dwarf Fortress'' will generate a history for that world, tracking civilizations, sites, populations, and other events. This can take a ''very'' long time for large, heavily populated worlds with very long, 2,000-year histories. History generation can be interrupted and the world saved before reaching the maximum year selected on the configuration menu.

In an interview{{cite|gamedeveloper}}, [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] described history generation:

:"History itself can begin at this point. Civilizations and caves are placed. It's a bit complicated to go into what happens after that, but the basic idea is that there's a giant zero-player strategy game going on with somewhat loose turn rules and bad AI (but thousands of agents), and history is just a record of that. Procedurally generating stories by recording a log of a simulation is a valid enough approach, though it has drawbacks, of course. It's a lot of work, you need to do post-processing or investigation to find any good moments you'd like to highlight, and if you don't have enough dynamics and mechanisms, the output can be boring (in any number of ways.)"

=== Finishing ===
Once everything is complete, you can take a look around using middle mouse or the {{k|wasd}} [[controls|keys]], {{k|Shift|wasd|sep=+}} keys will move farther. If you find yourself confused about what all the things actually are, check out the [[map legend]]. At this point you can either '''Play now''' to use the world immediately, or exit to the main menu; both will save the world to disk.

Unfortunately, the post-generation-process viewer doesn't give you a way to view much information about the world, so unless you really hate the look of the map or something, you probably want to just save the world and load it up in [[Legends]] mode to view more information.

The [[Advanced_world_generation#Seed_notes|seeds]] used when generating the world are logged in [[gamelog.txt]].

== Getting more advanced ==
At first you will probably be satisfied with basic world generation, but later you may find that you want to create worlds with specific, more extreme conditions - check out the documentation on [[advanced world generation]] for help with this.

Extinction

2026-07-02T09:06:09Z

Ziusudra: /* Extinct creatures */ added links, changed some wording

{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{av}}

[[File:extinct_preview.png|right]]'''Extinction''' means one of three things in ''Dwarf Fortress''.

== Extinct creatures ==
With the release of the [[Release_information/53.15|Dino Update]], [[Creature#Extinct|extinct creatures]] from the real world were added to the game, including [[animal person]] variants of them. Depending on the options chosen when [[World generation#Real world extinct creatures|generating a world]], these extinct creatures can be removed entirely, made to only exist in certain circumstances, or to exist as domesticated animals. They are classified by the prehistoric era they existed in, but this has no effect on how or where they appear. These creatures aren't inherently related to the concept of extinction as defined on the rest of this page, though it is possible for them to become locally extinct in an area they initially existed in.

== Sapient extinction ==
The first meaning of the word pertains to [[world generation]]: fighting between different sapient species may be so intense that a particular sapient species is wiped out entirely, going extinct in the process. Extinction events are exceedingly rare in larger worlds, but surprisingly common in pocket ones, where inter-species competition is at its fiercest. Sapient species that go extinct will obviously no longer [[caravan|trade]] with your dwarves, nor threaten them with [[ambush]]es or [[siege]]s. You can somehow still start a fortress mode game in a map vacated of any dwarves, but will not receive any [[migrant]]s beyond the first two (hard-coded) waves, nor any [[noble]] appointments (including the [[monarch]]). Conversely, if your fortress receives a third migrant wave, a dwarf trade caravan, or a monarch, then your civilization was not truly extinct, only "dying". Civilizations can remain "dying" for hundreds of years{{bug|9503}}, and the game won't allow you to embark from an extinct civilization if any non-extinct civilizations are available, so a truly extinct civilization embark is fairly difficult to obtain, but not impossible.{{cite_forum|154368.msg6754648#msg6754648}}

On a smaller scale, landmass-specific extinctions can also occur, and although they are not nearly so dramatic as ''mass'' extinctions and are in fact quite common, they can still affect your game. This usually happens on separated landmasses, and [[island]]s inhabited by more than one sapient species below a certain area. Since [[civilization]]s cannot yet cross bodies of water that don't freeze over, such extinctions will affect your gameplay should you chose to settle on such a landmass. The effect of settling someplace inaccessible to dwarves is the same as starting a fortress when they are extinct: only two hard-coded migrant waves.

[[Calendar#Ages|Calendar ages]] are greatly influenced by the relative lack - or abundance - of sapient life in your world, and so provide an at-a-glance view of the state of civilization on your lonely planet (if you know what they stand for, of course). Two calendar ages are more directly associated with extinction: the ''Age of Death'' and the ''Age of Emptiness'', in which all civilizations have been wiped out. Actually getting these to happen can be difficult - the latter can only be achieved by killing every civilized creature in a world in Adventurer mode, then committing suicide, then [[embark]]ing on the same map in fortress mode, then committing suicide with all of ''those'' dwarves. Once all of this is done, you will finally get an [[announcement]] telling you of the passing of the age. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=46033.0 It's been done before].

== Site extinction ==
The second, more nuanced form of extinction has to do with the wildlife in your [[surroundings]]. Every [[site]] can have a certain number of [[creature]]s appear in it; ''which'' creatures depends on the site's [[biome]]s, ''how often'' depends on the <tt>[FREQUENCY]</tt> [[creature token]] in their [[raw file]]s, ''how many'' depends on the number of biomes you abridge and on the creature's <tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:#]</tt>, and ''how many before none will ever appear in the wild again'' depends on a somewhat randomized token in specific creatures' definitions, the <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:#:#]</tt> tag. That is, if as many (wild, non-[[mount|siege mount]]) creatures die or are [[cage trap|captured]] and kept upon visiting your fortress as <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER]</tt> is set to, they will be considered locally extinct, and will have their range clipped from your fortress surroundings.

This cap will not limit any [[breeding]] you do once you have captured the creature, and will obviously not affect any creatures visiting your [[site]] that are allowed to leave. It ''will'' affect the maximum number of non-breeding creatures that you can have at your fortress, however, and will not allow the appearance of creatures in clusters larger than are allowed by the cap. Note that the cap is biome-specific: even though [[sea serpent]]s are capped at one serpent per site, it is possible to get multiples, and even [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=75780.0 start a breeding program], if your fortress abridges multiple valid biomes - note that such a breeding program wouldn't work in the current version, as sea serpents are now egg-laying and aquatic egg-layers don't breed due to a bug)

Every time a species becomes locally extinct it is (obviously) taken out of the wildlife visitation rotation. Rendering a policy of mass genocide on the countryside can thus eventually force the appearance of a sought-after species of wildlife, if you push hard enough. However, for the most part the number of creatures that can appear in the biome is so large, and the population caps are set so high, that it doesn't seriously affect gameplay. Aggressively hunting the local wildlife ''will'' eventually restrict its variety, however, and eventually you can prevent ''any'' wildlife from spawning at all on your map.

The cap does have important ramifications for a few specific species, however. Wildlife appearances on [[glacier]]s are heavily restricted, for instance, so the particularly aggressive [[yeti]], which only appears five to ten times, is often made extinct very quickly. Because of a bug, aquatic vermin do not restock when fished, resulting in guaranteed eventual extinction.{{bug|2780}} [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=84112.msg2252463#msg2252463 A certain nuance] of the tag's implementation allows maintained hunting of certain species, with some micromanagement: if a cluster (or pack) of animals appears on the map, as long as at least one animal in that cluster is allowed to leave, the species will not have been considered depleted. This obviously does not work on solitary creatures. Another option is to capture a [[breed]]ing pair and release their (untamed) young back into the wild; doing so can even raise the site population past its starting value.

===Natural regeneration===

[https://dwarffortress.mantishub.io/view.php?id=2780#c36019 Supposedly], wildlife populations very slowly naturally repopulate due to continuous world-gen/[[world activities]]. Whether this can happen if they are locally extinct is unknown.

== Repopulating site extinction with DFHack ==

To fully bring back creatures from permanent extinction, the DFHack [https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html#region-pops region-pops] can help. The script is versatile, and when used correctly, can selectively weed out creatures a player does not want to bring back. This tool is not perfect, and with time, creatures you have weeded out may return. This may be due to a range limit, and does not take very long range migration into account.

To view which animals may spawn in your embark, use 'region-pops list-all'.

=== Repopulation ===
To get started, first download the template [https://github.com/EldrickWT/eld-dfhack-scripts here] named 'region-pops.list' (credits to EldrickWT), and open it up with any text editor. The finished file should be structured like a .bat (all commands are stated before the options). By default, this scriptlet will remove every creature, which is not what we want. All we have to do is flip (or replace) the value into a positive number. Once done, save, copy and paste it in to the dfhack terminal. This script will restock all creatures with the value you inserted.

=== Fine tuning ===
With the basic repopulation done, you can fine-tune which creatures you don't want out with this part. Since a negative value removes creatures from the region, you can add below the last line, 'region-pops incr-all BIRD -X' to remove X from all creatures with 'BIRD' in its name. This also includes giant and animal person variants. Just remember to have the removing part at least larger than the repopulation part, to play it safe. Flying creatures often have a big impact on FPS, and removing them from your embark will definitely help. After saving the file, you can easily copy and paste your preferred region populations on every new playthrough.

There is (currently) no known script to repopulate civilizations.

Ziusudra: /* Months and seasons */ added growth column and section

{{Quality|Masterwork|08:57, 21 February 2023 (CST)}}
{{av}}
[[File:calender_v50_preview.png|thumb|350px|right|The game getting itself ready for how you're gonna eventually lose it.]]The '''dwarven calendar''' is used to display the day, month, and year of any given date, and is visible at the top of the main view. There are 12 months in the dwarven year, divided into 4 seasons of 3 months each. Unlike the traditional Gregorian calendar, each dwarven month is exactly 4 weeks long, or 28 days, for a total of 336 days in a year. New Year's Day and the first day of Spring both fall on the 1st of Granite. New Year's Eve and the last day of Winter both fall on the 28th of Obsidian. The months are named after kinds of [[stone]]s, [[ore]], [[gem]]s and [[wood]].

The game's first playable year begins whenever the world stops generating - by default, this will be year 100, but worldgen can be set to stop at several distinct years - ranging from 5 to 500 - when selecting ''Create a World'', or to any arbitrary year, by editing the advanced option ''End Year'' in the ''Design New World with Advanced Parameters/Detailed Mode'' screen, or by interrupting world generation.

== Months and seasons ==
The world follows a seasonal cycle - each season affects the climate, the crops that can be farmed, growths that can be gathered, and the ebb and flow of trade. There are also full moons on certain fixed dates every year; [[werebeasts]] will transform into their werebeast form on these days.

: <nowiki>*</nowiki> If you have [[modding|modded]] the game to not be at war with the [[goblin]]s or [[kobold]]s, then they will send caravans to you, and you will be able to trade with them, but only if you have also modded them to have pack animals or wagon pullers. If you do, then they will send caravans every season, including winter.

=== Effect on farming ===
{{main|Farming}}
The seasons correspond to growing seasons from the [[farm plot]] {{k|q}} menu, which dictate what can be grown when during the year. (See the list of [[crop]]s.) It should be noted that crops grow during seasons regardless of the actual weather, so any crops that grow during the spring will do so regardless of how much rain your area gets.

=== Effect on plant growths ===
{{main|Plant#Plant growth|l1=Plant growths}}
Many naturally occurring plants can produce growths (leaves, flowers, fruit, etc) only during certain parts of the year; in adventure mode this affects all plants (with such growths), while in fortress mode it only affects trees, not farmed [[crop]]s or gathered [[shrub]]s.

=== Effect on trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Civilizations will visit your fortress based on what season it currently is. Trade caravans for each race show up during the specific seasons each year, with the elves arriving during the Spring, the humans during the Summer, and one's fellow dwarves during the Autumn. No caravans arrive for the winter, so it's smart to stock up on food and drink during the fall.

== Ages ==

In addition to the year, a world's history is also divided into ages. An age can be seen as an epoch, something which defines the period of years it describes. The age itself has no bearing on gameplay other than as categorization in [[Legends]] mode, though players may witness a change in age (with an accompanied announcement) should their actions cause the current age to end. This may happen after killing a large number of [[megabeast]]s.

[[File:age_notify_preview.png]]

Ages are determined by the states of the world during world generation. Worlds start in the Age of Myth, though this may not always hold true if changes to world gen parameters are made. Some of the known things that influence the ages are number of megabeasts currently living and dominant civilizations. It is also possible for a world to enter a particular Age more than once (e.g., ''The Second Age of Legends'') if the appropriate conditions are met.

=== Known Ages ===
[[File:GiantDwarfs.jpg|thumb|A time when Heroes, Mega-beasts and Titans walked the earth]]

Below is a list of 'Ages' that may occur, an explanation and their (possible) triggers, and their in-game descriptions. [[World_generation#World_Size|World size]] may affect how long an age lasts. Because the age is dependent on variables such as number of megabeasts, number of civilized creatures, etc., smaller worlds will tend to change ages more frequently. Conversely, larger worlds tend to be more age-stable.

==== Great Powers in Control ====

This course of this period is shaped by the Great Powers; [[historical figure]]s with the [POWER] or [MEGABEAST]/[TITAN] [[creature token]]s. If there are more than 3 powers in a world when it begins, then it will progress through the ages of Myth, Legends, and Heroes; if 3 or fewer, then it will progress through the various Ages of Powers.

{| style="border-left: 10px solid #ccc; margin: 0.5em 10px; padding: 0.5em 10px;"
|
'''The Age of Myth''': The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 2/3 of what it was when the world began.
:''"The Age of Myth was a time when living gods and mighty beasts still held sway."''

'''The Age of Legends''': The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 1/3 of what it was when the world began.
:''"The Age of Legends was a time when the powers of the world were fading."''

'''The Age of Heroes''': The number of living powers and megabeasts is greater than three.
:''"The Age of Heroes was a time when the last of the powers fought their final battles."''
|}

In larger worlds, the proliferation (and extermination) of [[necromancer]]s, [[vampire]]s, and [[werebeast]]s during world generation can cause the age to "regress" back to Heroes, Legends, or, in slightly extreme cases, even Myth, sometimes multiple times. These will be referred to as "The Third Age of Myth", for example.

If a world starts with 3 powers and manages to progress beyond that, it will proceed to the Age of Myth.

{| style="border-left: 10px solid #ccc; margin: 0.5em 10px; padding: 0.5em 10px;"
|
'''The Age of Three Powers''': Exactly three powers are alive in the world.
:''"The Age of Three Powers was a time when the dragon Flarrgh, the demon Blarrgh and the titan Glarrgh were the only great powers in the world."''

'''The Age of Two (Race)s''' or '''The Age of (Race) and (Race)''': Exactly two powers are alive in the world.

==== No Great Powers ====
Once the Great Powers have fallen, the status of mortal civs will determine the Age. The ages will proceed as follows.

{| style="border-left: 10px solid #ccc; margin: 0.5em 10px; padding: 0.5em 10px;"
|
'''The Age of (Race)''' or '''The (Racial) Age''': Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], and the majority are of one race. The name style is selected randomly.
:''"The Age of Dwarves was a time when dwarves ruled the world."''

'''The Golden Age''': Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but there is no single majority.
:''"The Golden Age was a time when various civilized races peopled the world."''

'''The Twilight Age''': Between 50% and 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]].
:''"The Twilight Age was a time when fantastic creatures no longer lived in great numbers."''

'''The Age of Fairy Tales''': Over 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but some non-mundane ones still remain.
:''"The Age of Fairy Tales was a time when fantastic creatures were few and far between, and some even doubted their existence."''
|}

Toady One's quote from 2008 devlog: ''"I finally saw a world arrive at the Age of Fairy Tales, which happens if mundane creatures (ie humans) make up at least 90% of the world's civilized population with the requirement that there are still a few fantasy creatures lurking around. In this case, it was a kobold cave that their scouts never found. I guess all of the fairy tales were about people having their crap stolen."''

{| style="border-left: 10px solid #ccc; margin: 0.5em 10px; padding: 0.5em 10px;"
|
'''The Age of Civilization''': All civilized creatures are mundane, and all semi-megabeasts have been vanquished.
:''"The Age of Civilization was a time when fantastic creatures were but mere stories told by travelers."''

'''The Age of Death''': All civilized creatures are dead, and the world has passed through at least one Age of Twilight, Age of Fairy Tales, Age of (Race), Golden Age, or Age of Civilization.
:''"The Age of Death was a time after civilization had crumbled completely."''

'''The Age of Emptiness''': All civilized creatures are dead, but the world never progressed beyond the Ages of Myth, Legends, Heroes, or Powers (i.e. all civilized creatures were wiped out before all powers).
:''"The Age of Emptiness was a time when no civilized peoples existed in the world."''
:''"The Age of Emptiness was a time when only simple creatures inhabited the world."''
|}

A world that ends generation in the Age of Death or Emptiness will only allow games to be started in [[Legends|Legends mode]] or [[Adventurer mode]].

Within the [[string dump]], beneath these ages, are the following three lines:

* Unknown Age
* Monster
* Rampage

It is unclear what these are used for.

==Announcements==
A change in the season will generate an [[announcement]]. Depending on the biome your fortress is in, the announced season may be different from the calendar season. For example, in some biomes "wet" and "dry" seasons replace spring or summer. A few biomes lack any change in weather, and those biomes announce a change of season by "-season- has arrived on the calendar." Regardless, plants and caravans always follow the calendar season listed on the status screen.

'''Difficulty''' is the level of challenge presented by the game in [[Fortress Mode]], largely customizable by the player. These [[settings]] will affect whether your fortress can be attacked by outside forces, how frequent said attacks are, how big invading armies are, [[noble]] neediness, etc. You can modify these settings before and at any time after embarking, the tab will only appear in the settings screen when a [[fortress]] is loaded. Since they are specific to each save, they are stored as part of the save and are not editable outside the game.

== Default settings ==
They are divided into two groups: enemies and economy; enemies can be disabled, both groups have normal and hard presets, and all of the individual settings can be adjusted in Custom settings. The values used in each preset can be seen by selecting the preset and then viewing them in Custom settings.

'''Enemies''' has 3 options:
* '''Off''' will disable [[Ambush|ambushes]], [[Siege|sieges]], [[Megabeast|uninvited]] [[Forgotten beast|guests]], [[Werebeast|werebeasts]], and agitated wildlife attacks, but not [[intrigue]], [[HFS]], or misbehaving dwarves, so it is still recommended to train a military.
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' experience.
* '''Hard''' ensures a never-ending stream of [[Fun]], causing invaders to show up earlier, more often, and with more bodies to throw at the gates.
----
'''Economy''' has 2 options:
* '''Normal''' is the standard ''Dwarf Fortress'' economy.
* '''Hard''' requires you to produce more wealth in order to receive higher-ranking nobles, requires [[Temple|temples]] and [[Guildhall|guildhalls]] to be more valuable before satisfying petitions, and causes [[Noble|nobles]] to make more [[Mandate|mandates]] and [[Demand|demands]].

== Enemy settings ==

If you wish, you can also fine-tune individual settings - maybe you only want megabeasts to assault your fortress, and would prefer the elves to leave well enough alone. The following options are available for enemy settings:

=== Siege invaders ===
These were all added with the [[release information/53.01|siege update]].{{version|53.01}} The aversion values are multipliers for pathing cost; for instance, an aversion to deconstruction of 20 means they would just as soon deconstruct 5 tiles as dig 2 natural tiles (as walk 100 steps), because each of those has the same cost (5×20 = 2×50 = 1×100). The material is not used in this calculation, only whether the tile must be deconstructed or dug through.{{cite forum|183066/8606428}}
