Best 5 Mods for Dwarf Fortress

One of the most exciting things about sandbox video games is that they provide various modifications you can download to improve the in-game experience. Of course, Dwarf Fortress is not an exception. Even though the game was released less than 2 weeks ago, you can find many helpful modifications for this video game in Steam Workshop. Read this guide, and you will find out the best 5 mods for Dwarf Fortress in 2022.

See-Through Smoothing Designations

Even though it might sound strange, the best modification you can download nowadays is aimed at fixing the glitch. See-Through Smoothing Designations mods enable you to fix one of the main problems in Dwarf Fortress – bad view on stone and other blocks. The only disadvantage of this modification is that it is temporary. The developers will fix the smoothing designations glitch, and this mod will become useless.

Dwarvemon

Dwarvemon is the best modification if you want to combine 2 of the newest releases: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Dwarf Fortress. This modification adds nearly 900 Pokemon to Dwarf Fortress, including the new Gen 9 Pokemon. But the best thing about this modification is that it will be regularly updated. So, it is evident that various positive changes are waiting for us in the future.

Better Instruments

Better Instruments is one of the best modifications to improve your in-game experience playing Dwarf Fortress. This modification entirely changes the tool system in the game, adding 21 new instruments to the game. Moreover, every race has a specific set of working instruments. And the best way to find out more about this mod is to install it. 

Audible Alerts

Even though most people consider that the Audible Alerts mod brings too minor changes into the Dwarf Fortress, it is one of the best mods in the game’s early stages. Installing it makes every notification in the game sound, significantly helping you notice them. But as with See Through Smooth Designations Mod, this modification will likely become useless in the future when new updates are added to the game.

Snailing Race

As evident from the name of this modification, installing Snailing Race Mod adds a new race to Dwarf Fortress. It is a particular snail that can hold 4 equipment at once. And to reach the best effectiveness, you should use 2 attacking and 2 defensive items, making a universal snail soldier.

Unlike most modifications in this guide, this one is likely to be relevant for a long time. Moreover, the developer of this modification announced that he has many plans to update this mod. 

Meta Description: 5 best modifications in Dwarf Fortress 2022 are Snailing Race, Audible Alerts, Better Instruments, Dwarvemon, and See-Through Smoothing Designations.
