Be patient people.  Besides, I need time to set up some traps to catch the animals wandering my map.  I hope that grizzly bear that's roaming around doesn't go anywhere.

so.. it does NOT work on .06 or just most stuff don't? (i could live with just reveal/prospect working, since it's the only thing i use)

say's unknown version of DF or something like that on startup.

I really just want to use stonesense with this build.

We're working on it guys

Should be available tomorrow, unless something horrible happens.

we're talking about DF, horrible things happening is normal.

Is this the right place to make requests for new utilities? I have two I'd like to see:

- A utility that goes through the list of dwarves and makes a burrow for each one containing all of the dwarf's owned items and his bedroom. This should resolve 'cancels store owned item' spam more quickly than waiting for ownership to lapse.

- A utility that monitors the number of adult dwarves and raises or lowers the migration cap to maintain a certain number of adult dwarves in the fort, rather than making the player save and restart just because the last wave's 20 kids sent them over the pop cap but they don't have enough workers yet.

OK...   probably a silly question...  but is there any handy URL/reference to find out what item keywords to use for workflow constraints?  The readme is a bit...  terse on the subject.    (Hardly surprising given how much info it'd need to cover, really.)

I want to keep a constant minimum reserve of mechanisms, grates, hatch covers, etc... and guessing isn't the best method to find out what works.   I can say that 'workflow count MECHANISMS/METAL,ROCK 30' & variations thereof doesn't.   

Perhaps it'd be possible to modify the output of 'workflow jobs' to display the appropriate constraint keywords for jobs that are already in production?

[Rinin_Rus]

First of all look at:
this thread 
\DF\raw\objects
and "workflow jobs" output

[Buoyancy]

I find most of them in the raws.  Haven't been able to find milk yet.  For mechanisms, you want TRAPPARTS.

Since I completely lack the skill to make any sort of utility for DF Hack (my programming skills are still somewhere in early '90-ies) I would suggest one and cross my fingers someone sees the advantage in making this one.

I would like a utility which would parse the map and convert all artificial constructions into natural stone formation. I expect this would heavily improve FPS and stocks management since advanced forts can have thousands, if not tens of thousands of stone blocks forming megaprojects, walls, etc..

Plus, it would be ueber cool, since you could then engrave these surfaces as well. And much much less clutter.

I have no idea how difficult this would be to make, or if possible at all, but I can hope.

Thanks to anyone who takes this into consideration.

Constructions are the only way the game can store walls that are of a material that does not occur naturally in the area. If you are in a granite layer, you can have natural granite walls, natural obsidian, and nothing else. unless it's a mineral vein.

[telamon]

@Goran: I'd be willing to bet that, if you used tiletypes REALLY carefully, you could filter to constructed walls and convert them all into natural walls, and make a similar command for floors/stairs. I'm pretty sure the option for constructions is in there. You'd have to set a really big brush (I don't remember what all the brushes are either >_> and ofc with such a big brush, any errors in your filter will become apparent in a big way) but in theory it would work. The material of the wall might get messed up as Japa said; I haven't tried it so I have no idea what'll happen for sure.

Either way, try playing with tiletypes; you can probably find at least some of the functionality you are looking for without having to get a new plugin altogether.

Thanks Rinun_Rus.

I also found the start of a list in another thread re: workflow scripting.  It was far from complete, but got me pointed at the RAWs...  and, of course, I can't find that thread again now.   

I find most of them in the raws.  Haven't been able to find milk yet.  For mechanisms, you want TRAPPARTS.

TRAPPARTS?    Many thanks!  No wonder I couldn't work that 'un out.  /facepalm.

So once the new version of DFHack comes out, what is the procedure to transfer all my workflow settings from the old version to the new? I don't see a file anywhere that holds these settings so I'm not sure what to copy. For reference, I do not generally install new versions of DF over the old, I usually just unzip the new version clean to a new folder and copy over my save games.
