2. Turn the constructed wall into a natural wall (by editing the tile type), smooth it, then change the tile type back.

Would it be possible to make a script to turn all constructed blocks into natural formation to remove the number of items in the fort? Advanced forts sometimes have thousands or even tens of thousands of rock blocks that are used up in various constructions. If these could be deleted and the constructions replaced with natural walls, floors, stairs and ramps, that would be awesome. Being able to engrave them would be even more awesome.

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.

Modding shall give the ultimate solution to vampire woes.

Milkable vampire dwarves.

The only thing that can top this is dwarven vampire cheese.

Any plans on the horizon to add anything army related? At least a sort function with list of military skills.

The reason I personally need a utility like Dwarf Therapist is to sort out my dwarves by military skill to see who's hot, who's not, and plan out my squads and commanders. Labour I pretty much set on immigration wave.

Cheers.

This was done before to some extent via tweak, and should not be too difficult to figure out how for someone more versed in the mystic arts of coding.

Basically, I'd like to be able to change a few constants:

Namely:
- number of starting dwarves - which is currently a fixed number of 7
- number of skill points a dwarf might have at start - which is currently 10
- maximum skill a dwarf might have at start - which is currently 5

If anyone can give a hand to track down these constants within the .exe file and mess and point an adress to look at and play with via hex editor... c'mon, it will be fun for you too.

Please help.

you can circumvent underground construction by spawning obsidian walls with dfhack.

The new military is much more complex, but it also has much greater potential. Its just that it needs some polish to get rid of a few concept breaking bugs, the most obvious ones involving training not working properly and use of proper equipment. Once that is settled, military management is made of win.
