viqI'm playing around with #DwarfFortress. As part of that, I'm looking at #Legends, in three different ways (#DFHack direct switch to legends mode, LegendsBrowser2 and LegendsViewer-Next). And (un)surprisingly, getting three slightly different results 🤣
BenBotHey, how does #DFHack work?
Ronnie TuckerERMAGERD!
#dfhack adds some really helpful filters to the military screen now.
Ooh! I like how #dfhack now comes with pre-configured tasks that you can import.

Highlights Search! Search! Search! We finally have search widgets for many of the screens with long lists. No longer will you need to scroll endlessly to find Bim Zasitisos, Cook. You can just type “bim”, or “cook”, or maybe “knifedales”, since that’s what “Zasitisos” translates to and it’s the name you see in some contexts. Preserve tomb assignments Have you noticed that your nobles don’t actually get buried in the nice tombs you assigned to them while they were alive and demanding nice tombs? This is because DF loses track of that assignment when they die, which is amusingly and tragically ironic. Enable preserve-tombs in the DFHack gui/control-panel (“Fort” and “Autostart” tabs) to keep track of those tomb assignments and ensure they are actually used for their intended purposes.
StarkThe mod has a good introduction and "getting-started-guide." I personally haven't started messing around with the deeper stuff and played more with the live changes that it makes to the game, like menu changes and the feature of building furniture before you actually have the furniture constructed.
One fun feature I discovered running it for the last few hours is the ability to build furniture that hasn't been constructed yet. I just love this. It allows me to build all my bedrooms and then move on the next stuff and then it is slowly completed in the background. Such a nice quality of life feature.
You are also able to build engrave slabs and filter them when placing them, removing the struggle of placing the correct one.
I now see what you mean how it just adds to the game. But I can also see I've barely touched the surface of it.
It is really nice that the UI follows the style of the game and it feels as if it is actually part of the game and not a mod!
This is so great. I just tried it. The installation is very easy and then it just works. I just booted up the game, and everything is working. Thanks a lot!
