Provides commands for designating tiles for digging.
Command: digv
Designate all of the selected vein for digging.
Keybinding: CtrlV in dwarfmode
Keybinding: CtrlShiftV -> "digv x"
in dwarfmode
Command: digvx
Dig a vein across z-levels, digging stairs as needed.
Command: digl
Dig all of the selected layer stone.
Command: diglx
Dig layer stone across z-levels, digging stairs as needed.
Command: digcircle
Designate circles.
Command: digtype
Designate all vein tiles of the same type as the selected tile.
Command: digexp
Designate dig patterns for exploratory mining.
This plugin provides commands to make complicated dig patterns easy.
Usage¶
digv [x] [-p<number>]
Designate all of the selected vein for digging.
digvx [-p<number>]
Dig a vein across z-levels, digging stairs as needed. This is an alias for
digv x
.digl [x] [undo] [-p<number>]
Dig all of the selected layer stone. If
undo
is specified, removes the designation instead (for if you accidentally set 50 levels at once).diglx [-p<number>]
Dig layer stone across z-levels, digging stairs as needed. This is an alias for
digl x
.digcircle [<diameter>] [<solidity>] [<action>] [<designation>] [-p<number>]
Designate circles. The diameter is the number of tiles across the center of the circle that you want to dig. See the digcircle section below for options.
digtype [<designation>] [-p<number>] [-z]
Designate all vein tiles of the same type as the selected tile. See the digtype section below for options.
digexp [<pattern>] [<filter>] [-p<number>]
Designate dig patterns for exploratory mining. See the digexp section below for options.
All commands support specifying the priority of the dig designations with
-p<number>
, where the number is from 1 to 7. If a priority is not specified,
the priority selected in-game is used as the default.
Examples¶
digcircle filled 3 -p2
Dig a filled circle with a diameter of 3 tiles at dig priority 2.
digcircle
Do it again (previous parameters are reused).
expdig diag5 hidden
Designate the diagonal 5 pattern over all hidden tiles on the current z-level.
expdig ladder designated
Take existing designations on the current z-level and replace them with the ladder pattern.
expdig
Do it again (previous parameters are reused).
digcircle¶
The digcircle
command can accept up to one option of each type below.
Solidity options:
hollow
Designates hollow circles (default).
filled
Designates filled circles.
Action options:
set
Set designation (default).
unset
Unset current designation.
invert
Invert designations already present.
Designation options:
dig
Normal digging designation (default).
ramp
Dig ramps.
ustair
Dig up staircases.
dstair
Dig down staircases.
xstair
Dig up/down staircases.
chan
Dig channels.
After you have set the options, the command called with no options repeats with the last selected parameters.
digtype¶
For every tile on the map of the same vein type as the selected tile, this command designates it to have the same designation as the selected tile. If the selected tile has no designation, they will be dig designated.
If an argument is given, the designation of the selected tile is ignored, and all appropriate tiles are set to the specified designation.
Designation options:
dig
Normal digging designation.
channel
Dig channels.
ramp
Dig ramps.
updown
Dig up/down staircases.
up
Dig up staircases.
down
Dig down staircases.
clear
Clear any designations.
You can also pass a -z
option, which restricts designations to the current
z-level and down. This is useful when you don’t want to designate tiles on the
same z-levels as your carefully dug fort above.
digexp¶
This command is for exploratory mining.
There are two variables that can be set: pattern and filter.
Patterns:
diag5
Diagonals separated by 5 tiles.
diag5r
The diag5 pattern rotated 90 degrees.
ladder
A ‘ladder’ pattern.
ladderr
The ladder pattern rotated 90 degrees.
cross
A cross, exactly in the middle of the map.
clear
Just remove all dig designations.
Filters:
hidden
Designate only hidden tiles of z-level (default)
all
Designate the whole z-level.
designated
Take current designation and apply the selected pattern to it.
After you have a pattern set, you can use expdig
to apply it again.
