Well, I didn't know where to post it, but maybe here will be fine. As in the subject what is this utility for. I can't figure out or find any information.

Aboslutely nothing!

Ahem...

Er, well the description in the DFH readme's hardly useful. I have no idea.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...
Link for full quote. 'tis mighty funny.

Well, I had read it before posting, even run once. Some percentages had started to count, and nothing happened. And still don't know what is it for.

It does absolutely nothing useful to a non-developer. More specifically, it's a test of DFHack's approach on connecting to the DF process (I think the description in the readme expressed that quite well, but eh).

Nothing is exactly the amount of information you need. The tool is beyond your requirements and comprehension.

Thank you 3, I was thinking about it. On second thought I was sure it was related straight to the game play.

It might be pretty useful for me as I'm planning to write some tool to for workshop management help. So I had already found some tutorials, but can't find info about proper language. Is it necessary to use C/C++ language or is it just issue of proper connecting to the Windows/Linux process?

PS Is kotekzot some kind of troll, or he just hate people?

Jestem prawie pewien, że kotekzot jest Polakiem.

или kotekzot является русский
