DFHack - Dwarf Fortress Modding Engine News
DFHack 51.11-r1
This release is compatible with all distributions of Dwarf Fortress: Steam, Itch, and Classic.
Please report any issues (or feature requests) on the DFHack GitHub issue tracker. When reporting issues, please upload a zip file of your savegame and a zip file of your mods directory to the cloud and add links to the GitHub issue. Make sure your files are downloadable by "everyone with the link". We need your savegame to reproduce the problem and test the fix, and we need your active mods so we can load your savegame. Issues with savegames and mods attached get fixed first!
[h2]Highlights[/h2][h3]Break up brawls[/h3]
Both fix/loyaltycascade and makeown now take the extra step of calming any brawls that your citizens are involved in. If a particular captured and tamed pet is acting unruly (e.g. a Roc attacking your military or random visitors), select it and run makeown to remove it from any conflicts it may have been involved in before you tamed it.
Likewise, fix/loyaltycascade will now break up tavern brawls. Tavern brawls aren't true "loyalty cascades", since the brawlers aren't actually enemies of your civilization. However, it really looks like a loyalty cascade, and this is the tool that players tend to try when a tavern brawl spirals out of control.
And remember the old fortress adage: "To your alcohol stocks pay mind, but keep those tavern keepers unassigned!".
[h2]Announcements[/h2][h3]PSAs[/h3]
As always, remember that, just like the vanilla DF game, DFHack tools can also have bugs. It is a good idea to save often and keep backups of the forts that you care about.
Some DFHack tools that worked in previous (pre-Steam) versions of DF have not been updated yet and are marked with the "unavailable" tag in their docs. If you try to run them, they will show a warning and exit immediately. You can run the command again to override the warning (though of course the tools may not work). We make no guarantees of reliability for the tools that are marked as "unavailable".
The in-game interface for running DFHack commands (gui/launcher) will not show "unavailable" tools by default. You can still run them if you know their names, or you can turn on dev mode by hitting Ctrl-D while in gui/launcher and they will be added to the autocomplete list. Some tools listed as "unavailable" in the docs do not compile yet and are not accessible at all, even when in dev mode.
If you see a tool complaining about the lack of a cursor, know that it's referring to the keyboard cursor (which used to be the only real option in Dwarf Fortress). You can enable the keyboard cursor by entering mining mode or selecting the dump/forbid tool and hitting Alt-K (the DFHack keybinding for toggle-kbd-cursor). We're working on making DFHack tools more mouse-aware and accessible so this step isn't necessary in the future.

[h2]Highlights[/h2][h3]New toolbar icons for popular tools[/h3]
By popular demand, gui/sitemap now has an icon on the main toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Click this button to quickly find and zoom to (or follow) units, locations (like your guildhalls and hospital), or artifacts. You can search by either native names or translated names for units and artifacts.
If you prefer hotkeys, the Ctrl-g hotkey for gui/sitemap still works as it always has.
Similarly gui/mass-remove now has a toolbar button that shows when you click the vanilla "eraser" toolbar icon. The new button shows up next to the other "remove" icons. gui/mass-remove allows you to area select to remove any combination of constructions, buildings, stockpiles, and zones. For buildings and constructions, you also have the option to only remove those that are fully built, those that are planned but not yet built, or both.
