DFHack has a lot of tools. This page attempts to make it clearer what they are, how they work, and how to find the ones you want.
Contents
DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress memory access and modification framework, so DFHack tools normally access Dwarf Fortress internals and make some specific changes.
Some tools just make a targeted change when you run them, like unforbid, which
scans through all your items and removes the forbidden flag from each of
them.
Some tools need to be enabled, and then they run in the background and make changes to the game on your behalf, like autobutcher, which monitors your livestock population and automatically marks excess animals for butchering.
And some tools just exist to give you information that is otherwise hard to come by, like gui/petitions, which shows you the active petitions for guildhalls and temples that you have agreed to.
DFHack tools are tagged with categories to make them easier to find. These categories are listed in the next few sections. Note that a tool can belong to more than one category. If you already know what you're looking for, try the search or Ctrl-F on this page. If you'd like to see the full list of tools in one flat list, please refer to the annotated index <all-tag-index>.
