Can we somehaow change environment savagery and evilness?

Is there a simple way to cancel jobs from within dfhack?

I'm working on editing dig designations from within Armok Vision, but I need to be able to cancel ones that have already been converted into jobs.

We should add cancel function to dfhack job module

Not easily.

gui/gm-editor df.global.world.world_data has a region entry, if you [i]nsert new values you can open up all regions besides the ones shown, but you would want to write a script because it's annoying doing it by hand.

Development update:

JJ has fixed a lot of ruby issues (and I fixed one, somehow) and now exterminate actually works! I might try putting together another release in a couple days for anyone who wants to test that, assuming nothing breaks horribly as a result. (That was with Ruby 2, by the way, which could mean a working ruby plugin on Win64 if it also works there.)

Quietust fixed a bunch of broken viewscreens, and I fixed an abstract_building issue that was causing crashes on x64.

I'd like to build a test-version of Masterwork for 43.05 with all the utilities that I can get for next friday.

Does anyone know how to kill a sapling via DFHack? I don't mind if it's tricky or difficult, I just want something that works.

I have a script that is supposed to kill a certain percentage of all saplings in an effort to make tree growth less enthusiastic, I just can't seem to figure out a way to actually kill the saplings...

[Rose]

What happens if you just change the tile type?

[milo christiansen]

I didn't try that, but I suspect it wouldn't work quite right... I'll have to do some experimentation with already dead saplings to see how the game sees them I guess.

I just hoped that there was something like the old extripate (sp?) command avalible.

[Hesperid]

If it hasn't grown into a multi-tile tree yet, you can just delete the plant data structures and then update the tile type to be normal floor, and it will work just like that. I don't think the necessary symbols exist for 0.43.05 yet, though.

[lethosor]

I don't think the necessary symbols exist for 0.43.05 yet, though.

What? What symbols are those? All I can think of is "world", which should definitely be there.

Maybe the necessary structures haven't been researched yet, but that would affect every version before 0.43.05 too.

[Quietust]

Try finding find the sapling's "plant" structure and setting its hitpoints to zero.

If you want to be dramatic, you could also set it on fire and make it instantly turn into ashes in a puff of smoke (and possibly also give it exactly 1 hitpoint so it handles the transition properly), but that might have the risk of starting a forest fire.

[milo christiansen]

Finding the "plant" structure is easy, that how I am finding the saplings in the first place (iterating all plants on the map), if setting their hitpoints to zero works then that would be the simplest thing to do.

[Rumrusher]

okay so poking around advmode ui's and found out anon 46 and 47 control how long you can work on building
46 being the number you put in and
47 the cap

testing to see if it's possible to work either a whole week or a year on a camp project and the possibilities of using that to pass time.
it still possible to be ambushed and folks probably don't want to do this with a character who isn't immortal and or that needs to eat sleep or drink.
there also a small chance of melancholy from untreated needs pushing your adventurer past the point of insanity, but that only takes affect if you put them into fort mode.

[The13thRonin]

Apologies as I'm sure you get this question a lot but I haven't been round these parts in a long time.

Is a DF Hack for 43.05 (x64) close to release?

[Rose]

There's already an alpha release.
