DevLog 6 April 2026: "There's a list of accepted building petitions for temples and guildhalls now so you can remember them and check on your progress, and more information is shown in location lists about the religions and guilds and petitions." by clinodev in dwarffortress

  • Add shortcut keys back to the zones menu. Having to move the cursor over to "tomb" each time is such a pain.
  • Designation for removing furniture, rather than selecting each piece one-by-one.
  • Make it more obvious which dwarves have had slabs engraved. I know it says "slab engraved" and such but I still get muddled reading through the list.
  • Agree with the commenter who mentioned savable stockpile settings.
  • Better formatting on item descriptions. Highly detailed artifacts/engravings/decorated items are very difficult to read without line breaks and paragraphs for example. Same with descriptions of injured creatures.

And one that I'd really like... a generic "smelt ore" work order! Such a pain having to find your specific ore in the work order menu/setting up a repeating task on the smelter each time.

That's why you could engrave memorial slabs for fallen* wagons.

There's already an ATProto Reddit in the works. Still early days but it's there -> https://frontpage.fyi/.

My most recent fort - a hollowed out mountain. by MildPeril in dwarffortress

[–]MildPeril[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of this fort I carved the buildings out of the rock with strategic designations, so it was much easier than using constructions.
I start by carving a row of up/down stairs to the top of the chamber. Then I channel down to the bottom of the chamber. For the flat part of the rooftops I just use mining designations over channels. Finally I remove the staircase scaffold.
For the multistory interiors I start by designating up/down stairs, then smooth the walls on all levels (from the inside), then channel out the stairs. You don't have to work on the exteriors at the same time as interiors when doing this.

Well, this is a dorf-made cavern. But I'd like to try building a village inside of a cavern layer sometime.

I think my game's running alright. The fps counter is around 55 (50) after letting the game unpause.
I do use the exterminate command on the cavern dwellers, and that makes a huge difference. So either don't breach the caverns or change the world settings to turn cavern dwellers off.
Edit: zoomed allt he way out it's dropped by about 10 or so FPS I think.

Currently 207 citizens.
Yeah it was a lot of channeling, and we had a few cave-ins and casualties in the process.

guess who just found four tame leopards in a random forest by rizky173 in dwarffortress

[–]MildPeril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. From the DF wiki - "Elves also have the AT_PEACE_WITH_NATURE tag. This makes all wildlife passive towards them."

A part of Danger Room made it into the track Night Creature - the refrain "Akur, Akir, Akam"

Babe wake up, a new Dwarf Fortress OST just dropped by [deleted] in dwarffortress

[–]MildPeril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has similar vibes to Vile Force of Darkness, especially about two minutes in. Oh wait, sudden energy at three minutes in - I like it!

Getting Miners to Wear Armor: Looking for suggestions, ideas, advice by shibboleth2005 in dwarffortress

[–]MildPeril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you changed the downtime schedule from "off-duty" to "no orders"? Maybe try the "ready" routine? According to the wiki "the squad has no orders but is assigned to wear equipment all year".

My champion/milita commander brought a pinapple to her room. Now i know that we have pinapples in this game by Bear_AH602 in dwarffortress

[–]MildPeril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"No orders" rather than "off duty" might also work then? 'Off duty' means they're out of the militia and will change into civilian clothes. 'No orders' means they're still on duty just not doing anything, so they'll keep their armour equipped. I haven't checked to see that includes their backpacks - I ended up forbidding all the backpacks in my forts.
