- Lazy-Newb-Pack-Linux v0.44.09 x64 A small package to get people started with Dwarf Fortress on linux. Please take time to check out the Official thread. There are a few help documents in the Wiki if you should get stuck.
If you like the work I've put into assembling this pack, please feel free to head over to my ** Patreon ** page and buy me a coffee. Or a beer. Or a sammich. I'm really not picky.
The Linux LNP Can be downloaded at the below location:
Navigate to the extracted directory and run
$ ./startlnp
When first launching a new version of the LNP, you'l be asked to select the terminal emulator used to launch Dwarf Fortress. PyLNP will automatically detect several of the more popular terminal emulators, or you can specify a custom command. Incorrectly configuring the terminal will result in Dwarf Fortress not launching properly.
If you run into troubles with this, consult the PyLNP documentation HERE
When first launching a new version of the LNP, you'll be asked if you want to import files from a previous installation. If you select yes, open the previous version's df_linux folder in the file chooser dialog, then click ok. Selecting the LNP folder or the root of the pack will cause the import to fail. The import process will grab your DF saves, SoundSense and/or SoundCense sounds, gamelog, and dfhack history from the previous version.

DFHack is now out of beta testing, so here's a new pack!
- Updated DFHack to 0.44.05-r1
- Updated TWBT to 6.34
I discovered after releasing the last revision that the graphics packs I've been including had undergone a change to the directory structure to seperate the TWBT portions from the rest. I've accounted for that change in this revision and the packs should now be TWBT-ready out of the box (as long as you play with DFHack enabled)
- Updated Dwarf Fortress to 0.44.05
- Updated DFHack to 0.44.05-alpha1
- Updated TWBT to 6.33

- Updated Meph-lite tileset to 2.1
- Included EXPERIMENTAL memory layout for Dwarf Therapist
TWBT has been updated to work with the latest DFHack beta. Also, the pack now includes the most up-to-date version of Meph's tileset. I originally intended to put this in the rc1, but accidentally included an older version instead.
- Updated DFHack to 0.44.03-beta1
- Updated TWBT to 6.31
- Updated Meph's tileset to 1.7.5
- Update graphics packs
A new version of Dwarf Fortress has been released, and DFHack was quickly updated to support it. Also Dwarf Therapist now comes in an AppImage package to improve cpmpatability (at the cost of a slightly larger download)

TWBT has been updated to work with the prerelease version of DFHack. As a result, GemSet has also been added back into the pack.
- Updated TWBT to 6.23
- Updated graphics packs to latest versions
- Re-included GemSet graphics pack
A prerelease build of DFHack has been released and is being included in this revision. At the time of this writing, TWBT hasn't yet been updated and is therefore still excluded for the time being.
- Updated graphics packs to include latest changes
- Updated DFHack to 0.44.02-alpha1
- Dwarf Therapist updated to v39.0.0
- Legends Browser updated to v1.15
- Armok Vision updated to v0.18.0
This is the final update for the 0.43.05 Linux LNP. 0.44 has alredy dropped for Windows and Mac. Just waiting for Toady to get his Linux build uploaded and I'll start working on that!

Here are the first official 64-bit releases! This would not be possible without help from our community -- you can view the exciting and sometimes late-night discussion over in the 0.43.04 release thread if you want to see how the cake was baked. This release should also make worlds generated with the same seed more consistent, and it has a few other minor fixes we managed to sneak in.
- 64-bit support, pulling the game from the distant past into the previous decade
- Fixed problem with artistic skill assignment causing world histories to diverge
- Fixed problem with worldgen trade causing world histories to diverge
- Stopped babies/children from competing in w.g. events
- Made gorlaks able to open doors, stopped desizing of their heads
- Fixed some mem leaks
Here's another bug-fix release. Assuming no issues crop up immediately, we'll now dive into 64-bit land for next time!
- Fixed error deciding when patients should be moved
- Fixed initialization problem with tools causing stone axes to be thought of as ranged
- Stopped completed work order jobs from checking off every matching order
- Stopped masterpiece trades in containers from triggering artwork defacement
- Stopped storage from always failing in the second tavern/library/temple you define
- Stopped broken crash-prone entry from appearing at the end of the stocks list
- Attackers will remove armor from unconscious opponents if it is blocking attacks
- Made people wear more armor according to their roles again
- Allowed new citizens with some previously site-wide occupations to be reassigned
- Allowed some site-wide occupations for dwarves
- Made combat damage weapon and armors depending on material differences etc.
- Made dwarves prefer undamaged equipment during the periodic uniform upgrades
- Allowed strong attacks/shakes to translate some force to joints and parent parts even if blocked by armor
- Reduced clothing stopping power based on penetration depth
- Made paper slurries stockpile-able (won't work without updated raws)
- Fixed problem with adv mode tribute demand check
- Fixed ghost initial positioning problem
- Made macros save correctly even if the macro directory is deleted
Here are some more bug fixes.
- Made customized magma forge jobs use metal instead of making things out of coal
- Adjusted conflict code to stop taverngoers from joining siegers over petty grievances
- Fixed material overcount in adv site work menu
- Made pain from broken tissues depend on relative part size
- Made embark profiles load fish properly
- Made assigning an animal to a restraint remove it from pasture assignments properly
- Made pasturing jobs respect connectivity in creation and in seeing if they should continue
- Made dwarves remove animals assigned to pastures from cages/chains that are in the pasture
- Fixed display error causing creature to be described as gigantic too often
- Allowed metal mechanisms to be made from the job manager
- Made dragonfire affect metal items and generally amplified fire effects a bit
- Stopped veins in large mineral clusters from being improperly restricted
- Stopped placement issue with minerals that had more than one specific environment
- Stopped woodcutters from using axes without edges (like training axes)
- Allowed soil critters to live in wider temperature ranges
- Fixed problem with temperature checks on certain wilderness populations

- Allowed adventure mode divers to move through deep water properly
- Made placing items on tables remove item from your inventory properly
- Made improvement reactions increase and apply skill properly
- Reported site of adventurer masterpieces correctly
- Stopped manually-set low frame rate cap from being stuck
Smoothed out some rough areas in the adventure part of the release. We'll be continuing on with bug fix releases.
- Stopped zone corruption problem from adventure sites (caused crashes)
- Stopped adventure camps from being aged by the age of the world repeatedly
- Stopped certain site build orders from skipping the collapse check
- Stopped prisoners in goblin sites from starting no quarter fights with their rescuers
- Made people that join you stop personal/shared activities that might interfere them from following you
- Stopped felling of trees in the arena, so you wouldn't be teleported to a weird hidden region map
- Indicated child/baby state of prisoners during look etc.
A new version number! With the work order additions and adventurer-created sites, this one ended up with more new stuff and fewer bug fixes than expected, and my version calculator just tipped over at 0.43. You can use the new 'b' site building option in adventure mode to create a site (outside the bounds of other sites). For dwarf mode work orders, you can set conditions and details from the manager. You can also create orders tied to specific shops from their workshop profiles.
A miscellaneous note: in order to retire at the adventurer sites you create, you'll need to name the site, create a main hall zone, and claim the hall during conversation (or while shouting to yourself).
Next up we'll be doing more bug fix releases to make sure we have a vaguely presentable DF before we disappear into a new compiler and 64 bits.
