Do people here use this? I hadn't until just recently. I had a couple squads stuck on a mission and one suggested fix was DFHack. Seems to have worked!

I love DFHack for the quality of life fixes it can provide. Some of the tools I use:

  • Autochop. When the number of available logs drops below a number I set, go chop down trees in a burrow area I've determined, until we are back above another number I've set. So helpful in bigger forts!
  • autobutcher. Keep X number of male sheep, Y number of female sheep. Butcher the rest. Again, just useful to be able to manage this automatically, for all your livestock, in a bigger fort.
  • Suspend manager. This is a new one, and it's amazing! You know how building above ground structures is a pain in the arse? You can get dwarfs stuck on walls, because other dwarves block them in? Suspend manager basically takes care of that for you ... It temporarily suspends the building of certain bits until other bits are completed, so you never end up with corners you can't get to, or dwarves stuck between sections of wall, on your latest megaproject! Honestly, suspend manager makes building above ground structures bearable!
