Dwarf Fortress For Mac
Dwarf Fortress Mac Starter Pack

I created a script for generating starter packs for Mac, you can read more about it here. I generated one with the following packages versions: Dwarf Fortress 0.47.04 64-bit; PyLNP 0.13b; PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack 0.47.04-r04 (just for the graphics) DFHack 0.47.04-r1 64-bit; TWBT 6.xx for DFHack 0.47.04-r1. Dwarf Fortress is an intriguing single player fantasy game that places you in worlds with distinct civilizations spanning centuries of detailed history, hundreds of towns, caves and regions filled with a rich and deadly wildlife. Explore a fantasy world filled with traps, surprises and dangers.

This article is about the current version of DF.

Free alpha builds of Dwarf Fortress Classic are available directly from the developers, Bay 12 Games, at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ . The three downloads linked at the top of the main page are 64-bit versions of DF for Windows, macOS, and Linux. 'All versions' links to a page with additional choices, including 32-bit builds for all platforms, 'small' builds for Windows (which lack sound files), and 'legacy' builds for Windows. Generally, the SDL builds for Windows should be preferred, although the Legacy builds may be necessary on some older computers.

Dwarf Fortress is slated to be released on the Steam and itch.io platforms in the future. These paid versions of the game will include an all-new graphical tileset and new music tracks. Additionally, the Steam version will include Steam Workshop integration for modding. Most other features will be shared with Dwarf Fortress Classic (which will remain available for free).

Third-Party Packages[edit]

Main article: Utility:Lazy Newb Pack

There are several packages which bundle the game with several utilities and graphics sets, usually configurable with an included launcher. These are listed on the Lazy Newb Pack page.

The Dwarf Fortress community often creates custom graphics sets, tilesets and color schemes. They're like graphical mods that make DF look prettier or just different. A lot of people pack the game folder with the tileset installed and everything already set up, so all you have to do is extract and play. Among the most popular of these are Ironhand's Graphics Set and Phoebus' Graphic Set. Most notable graphics sets are included in the packs mentioned above.

Also see: System requirements

Windows[edit]

There is no installer for the game - simply extract the archive contents to a folder somewhere and run the game from within that folder by opening 'Dwarf Fortress.exe'.

Make sure to actually extract the archive; do not just open the archive and run the game from the window that appears. If you do this, then it may appear to work, but your save game data will get discarded - the cause of many 'my saved games keep getting deleted' complaints. The game also needs to be able to write to its own folder, so do not install it in C:Program Files if you are running Windows Vista or later. (However, this rather assumes that one actually has an archive extractor to begin with, perhaps preinstalled: example remedy for that issue)

If you have an error stating that MSVCP140.dll is missing, it can be obtained by downloading Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. When prompted choose the x64 version for 64-bit DF, or the x86 version for 32-bit DF.

If Windows is set to scale the display, you may need to disable that for DF. Right-click the Dwarf Fortress.exe icon, select Properties, select the Compatibility tab, and then activate the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings (or Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application) check box.[1]

Mac[edit]

The Mac version is not a single application bundle, but like the Windows version it consists of a folder containing the application along with data files and there is no installer. The entire folder can be dragged into the Applications folder or placed elsewhere. As with the Windows version, the game must be able to write to its own folder.

To start the game, execute the launch script 'df'. Launching 'dwarfort.exe' by itself will not work (since the 'df' script sets up environment variables pointing to DF's libraries).

On OS X 10.8 and above, you will need to update the SDL_ttf library to run Dwarf Fortress. ^Bug:7389

Download SDL_ttf 2.0.11 and replace the file libs/SDL_ttf.framework with the one from the downloaded folder.

On OS X 10.11 and above, for the 32-bit version of DF only, you will need to update the SDL library:

Download SDL 1.2.15 and replace the file libs/SDL.framework with the one from the downloaded folder

On OS X 10.15 (Catalina) and above, if you encounter gatekeeper security-related warnings that prevent DF from starting, one solution (from here) is to run the following command from the terminal in the folder containing dwarfort.exe:

find . -print0 | xargs -0 xattr -d com.apple.quarantine

On case-sensitive filesystems, a freshly-installed version of the game will not launch. ^Bug:11136

Rename 'libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/FreeType.framework' to 'libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/freetype.framework' to fix this.

Alternatively, instead of replacing SDL, you can change the PRINT_MODE setting in data/init/init.txt to STANDARD (or anything not related to 2D). ^Bug:2624

Retina display users will also need to change PRINT_MODE to STANDARD (or any non-2D option) in init.txt. ^Bug:6031

There is an .app-launcher that expects the game to be installed in the 'Library/Application Support/Dwarf Fortress' subdirectory of the user's home folder. It starts Dwarf Fortress without a terminal window from Launchpad or the Dock.

Linux[edit]

As of 0.43.05, both 64-bit and 32-bit compiled editions are available for Dwarf Fortress. For older versions you can run the 32-bit compiled edition with a 64-bit system, provided that you have the (32-bit) shared libraries available that the program needs. Note that users of 32-bit systems have to click the All Versions button on the Dwarf Fortress download page in order to get the 32-bit edition.

Dwarf Fortress for Linux is meant to be run from a terminal (command-line) interface, and so the instructions here will assume you know how to login and get to a command prompt. At least in the default mode, however, Dwarf Fortress
