Windows: PeridexisErrant's DF Starter Pack There are several packs available for different platforms, with different maintainers and release schedules. Of course there are a few personal touches too, but the vast majority of each is thanks to others - and not least Tarn and Zach for Dwarf Fortress itself. It is also important to note that most of the contents of each pack were created by many members of the community and just collected, configured, and redistributed by the maintainer of each pack.
Most include just about everything that still works and could be useful. The packages are built around the idea that newbies will likely have more difficulty with the game than with a package of utilities - which often make the game easier - and that there are many players who are not new but would still prefer an option to get all the extras in one place with a minimum of fiddling. In general, it's safe to simply ignore any option you don't understand and trust that the default settings will be okay. 3.4 PyLNP: The modern cross platform launcherĪ Starter pack (sometimes referred to as a 'Lazy Newb Pack') is a pack that includes many utilities that a veteran player might want, while configuring everything in such a way that it is still easier for new players.
