Streaming with a graphical mod!
« on: October 14, 2017, 08:59:57 am »

So.. I was planning on introducing Dwarf Fortress on my stream tonight but the regulars want a graphical mod for it.. I have never used one and would really like to know which one people would recommend, basically.. :-)

Lots 'o love!

When I use one, I like Phoebus. Straightforward, and the dwarves look like dwarves should, complete with different "skins" for their primary skillset.

Spacefox was my first set - cute, bright and distinct.

Phoebus has been my number one choice since the beginning, but I say pick which ever one you like the look of best.

MayDay forever and ever

Just popping in to say that if DF has taught me anything, it's that everything is doomed.

Mayday is a good choice because it doesn't edit many raws. This means it is often compatible with newer versions of Dwarf Fortress before it's released. I haven't had to update it in over a year. The current version of Mayday is compatible with everything from 42.05 to 44.02. It doesn't have a pedestal tile in it yet, but neither do most of the graphical packs.
