Mods & DFHack

Best mods, Steam Workshop, graphics packs, DFHack installation and commands.

The best mods improve readability, add variety or smooth fortress management without hiding the simulation.

Workshop modding is easiest when you treat load order and saves with respect.

Graphics packs change how you read the fortress, not just how it looks.

DFHack is a toolbox for automation, inspection and controlled mercy.

DFHack commands can save time, diagnose problems and ruin discipline if used blindly.

FPS death is an engineering problem with pathing, population and item count at its center.
