Been busy with some stuff. Does anyone still care about this utility, or has anyone written anything better?

If you updated/expanded this it would probably get me to play DF regularly again. :)

I really love the idea of this utility, but haven't been able to play with it.  Please do update it.  I'm tired of making sure my dwarves keep making the booze they need to live.

Also... name-wise.  Do you play Transcendence?

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

what does it do? Does it randomly order things? Does it check my booze stockpiles? Or is it an upgraded version of the manager screen? (or a baby from hell?)

Ooh, a chance to answer a question!

Dwarf Foreman's basic function is to allow you to automatically create jobs to keep a specific stockpile for common items such as fuel, cloth, thread, bins, and barrels.  It helps you never have to say "Whoops!  I forgot to make sure I brewed some drinks this season!"  Instead, you just tell Dwarf Foreman that you always want at least X drinks on-hand, and it will automatically queue up some brewing jobs when your supplies dip below X.

EDIT:  It does this, if I remember correctly, by checking at specific intervals and queuing the jobs up through your Manager.  /EDIT

It is not to be confused with the previous utility known as Dwarf Foreman, which has since been replaced with Dwarf Manager and, more recently, Dwarf Therapist.


I've been hoping work would resume on it for a long time now!  I'm sorry to hear of your unemployment, devek, but I'm ecstatic that you've decided to return to coding this utility.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Also it can auto-designate every tree and bush for cutting/gathering. Yay!

Sigh.. the source code I have is in a transition from .12 to the versions when he started using msvc2010 and doesn't work on any version of dwarf fortress I have installed lol.. so there is a lot more to getting this up and running than simply finding the vectors.

The good news is that my vector search/dump program works on the new version without any changes, but it doesn't quite autodetect all the vectors I need just yet since it doesn't know how to use them :P  I got the manager job vector, the items subtypes(mace, crossbow, pick, etc), the custom reactions, and just have to get the item code and tree code working now.

I don't care how long it takes you, I'm just thrilled you're working on it again. I thought you died or forgot about this or something.

One thing that is nice is, when .25 came out... it didn't slow me down and my stuff didn't need an update. Lol.

Automatically address finding rules, just have to design a smart signature to look for.
