- Seed Extractor (DWARVES VERSION)by LarsonAdds the Option to " Extract Seeds from plants" in the Farmers Workshop - it will give you 2 seeds per plant - so you can finally sustain your Farm without having to wait for your people to eat your raw food or brew or trade to get seeds. This Version works for Dwarves only. If you wish to use th...227 downloadsupdated 10 mo ago
- Dwarven Material Scienceby qscrewShort summary Some error causes updating the mod to corrupt save files. I'll determine a fix eventually but doubt it will be one-size-fits-all. DF is a world of many wonders. DMS2024 revises the vanilla weapons and adds new weapons and armor. It's semi-compatible at best with many other mods, sin...215 downloadsupdated 20 mo ago
- More Mandatesby TrainzackMore Mandates Version 1.0 This mod modifies the dwarven entity such that all noble positions have mandates, and positions that previously had mandates now have even more. Due to technical limitations, this mod completely replaces the Dwarven entity, so it will not play nice with other mods that d...211 downloadsupdated 3 y ago
- Flux Flourby Queen of PigeonsAdds 2 reactions at the mill and smelter, to make fluxless embarks thinkable. Allows a fort to squeeze ~20 flux reactions out of 1 flux stone and 1 quicklime, but only if their miller is Urist Sisyphus175 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- Ubiquitous Dinosby CaramelWyrmAdds the tag to all extinct creatures. This should ensure they appear in all the biomes they can live in. IDK if anyone has done this yet but I don't thiiink so? Have it anyways, on the house.167 downloadsupdated 3 mo ago
- Clan Namesby feyganThis is a dfhack script and runs from the dfhack window. To test it has installed correctly run "matri_surnames--version" from dfhack. If all is well you should get a version name, if not then it has not installed correctly. Manual install requires dropping the .lua into Steam\steamapps\common\Dw...160 downloadsupdated 3 mo ago
- Bourbon's March of Wrath BETAby BourbonAre you playing DF's v51.01-beta22 and cannot get March of Wrath to work? This is the answer!150 downloadsupdated 2 y ago
- Bugspilledby qscrewShort summary Bugspilled is a vanilla+ mod, meaning it contains nothing revolutionary. It replaces no vanilla files nor object entries, so is not quite an "overhaul", but comprises many changes. It adds a collection of mascot creatures—including the noble and friendsome pill bug—for marketing pur...123 downloadsupdated 19 mo ago
- Blocks to Bouldersby ebI HIGHLY recommend using the magnifying glass option when queuing this reaction to avoid unintended side effects like your dwarves using a block of native gold to make siltstone because it was the closest block. Adds a reaction to the Screw Press that turns 4 blocks into 1 boulder. The first bloc...109 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- VGI Metallurgyby VilhatarnVil's Game Improvements-Metallurgy overhauls metal and alloy values and recipes. Alloys now always generate value relative to their inputs, but cannot be made directly from ores. Bismuth bronze, sterling silver, and trifle pewter are removed; alternate recipes still exist to use bismuth and lead...86 downloadsupdated 3 mo ago
- Ubeequitousby ctrlaltmilkMakes honeybees ubiquitous, ensuring access to beekeeping in all regions.76 downloadsupdated 3 mo ago
- Vanilla Dye Rebalanceby SnailA small mod that rebalances dye and fixes the brown hide root bug. Should give a reason (albeit sleight) to embark in evil areas and forage for wild dye, rather than use dimple cups for everything. EDIT: I have no idea if this still works post dye-update. I see no reason it shouldn't, but it's po...61 downloadsupdated 18 mo ago
- Dinosaur Rebalanceby KijiroChanges made to Extinct creatures only42 downloadsupdated 1 mo ago
- Essences are not Fishby 76561199162549099A mod that removes the Biome tags from Spellcrafts Essences. This makes the essences unobtainable from fisherdwarves.36 downloadsupdated 2 y ago
