- Shearable Rutherersby Johnny OakgroveMakes rutherers have fur (similar to Trolls) instead of hair, and makes said fur shearable and usable for the textile industry. The change from fur to hair is only to avoid cunfusion in-game.46 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- Unify Leather & Meatby Fenrir!!! There is a bug in DF currently that can break your savegames if you manually save during some events. This mod seems unrelated but i will test it further. !!!

- War Pigsby Lord NichSimplest DF mod and keeping in line with my other mod; I made pigs war trainable. According to their tags they are awful at war, but apparently they might be a counter to elephants? IDK. Enjoy and make a pig armor mod.44 downloadsupdated 2 y ago

- Adamantine Colossusby 76561199072201677Adds an extremely overpowered Adamantine colossus, uses fluffy wambler sprite. I could've used the Bronze Colossus Sprite, but I didn't.

- Undescended Geldable Mammals Fixby cornchevThe vanilla game contains some grievious errors in terms of which mammals it represents as geldable. For example, elephants are geldable despite their testicles being located behind their kidneys(!!!), which I sincerely doubt they could survive having removed without modern surgical techniques. S...43 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- Groklings - A New Playable Creatureby Captain_ChipzI used groklings in a series of Dungeons & Dragons campaigns I ran as a kid, I recently thought of them and thought the would be a good fit for Dwarf Fortress.

- Dwarven Civs Get Chaussesby ColeslawBy default, dwarven civs do not get chausses. This mod gives them chausses. Simple. If you want dwarves to have their typical clothes in addition to chausses, then ALSO use chipathingy's "All Armor and Clothing Accessible" mod, found here: If you also want capes to go with your chausses, use /GG/...41 downloadsupdated 2 y ago
- Dango Modby 76561199206152101Adds adorable dango creatures from TFT to Dwarf Fortress! Dangos are hunting and war trainable, fear their fierce bites! They are also naturally occurring in the wild.

- Hare Man Civ - Playable Hare Peopleby PunchBunnyThis is a mod that makes hare people playable. Based off of ATotalParadox's Beaver People mod. One key difference from that mod is that the hare people are dwarf sized, not the regular size of hare people who are about twice as big as dwarves. This is to avoid complications with armor and weapons...37 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- DF Tweaks - QoL Improvementsby ArgonOwlSome of my personal QoL ideas... not exactly balanced, will probably make gameplay easier.36 downloadsupdated 17 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 3 y ago

- Proper Capitalizationby 76561199586694751A small mod that edits the vanilla languages so that all words can be properly capitalized.

Load this after "Vanilla Languages" in t...33 downloadsupdated 17 mo ago
- Forest Squirrel Peopleby Robot FaceMakes it so FOREST entities can have squirrel people. Each forest civilization will choose between elves, red squirrel people, gray squirrel people, or flying squirrel people (who can't actually fly) at world gen.

- Don't Drink Troll Bloodby TangentialThreatIt works now. You may have to purge your installed mods folder if you had a previous version, which is apparently a thing you need to do when updating any DF mod. Do not allow a cat to touch the blood of trolls. Do not apply troll blood to food. Do not throw a bleeding troll into a well. Or... do.32 downloadsupdated 4 y ago
- Blind cave ogre (joke mod)by Deon ☣A Silly little mod that changes the sprite and the portrait of the blind cave ogre, giving it obsidian sunglasses. Definitely Not VonGalactic's (streamer's) request.31 downloadsupdated 11 mo ago
