gui/settings-manager

This tool allows you to save and load DF settings.

Usage

gui/settings-manager save-difficulty
gui/settings-manager load-difficulty
gui/settings-manager save-standing-orders
gui/settings-manager load-standing-orders

Difficulty can be saved and loaded on the embark “preparation” screen or in an active fort. Standing orders can only be saved and loaded in an active fort.

If auto-restoring of difficulty settings is turned on, it happens when the embark “preparation” screen is loaded. If auto-restoring of standing orders settings is turned on, it happens when the fort is loaded for the first time (just like all other Autostart commands configured in gui/control-panel).

Overlays

When embarking or when a fort is loaded, if you click on the Custom settings button for game difficulty, you will see a new panel at the top. You can save the current difficulty settings and load the saved settings back. You can also toggle an option to automatically load the saved settings for new embarks.

When a fort is loaded, you can also go to the Labor -> Standing Orders page. You will see a new panel that allows you to save and restore your settings for standing orders. You can also toggle whether the saved standing orders are automatically restored when you embark on a new fort. This will toggle the relevant command in gui/control-panel on the Automation -> Autostart page.
