Sorry for any frustration this has caused you guys, and I hope I haven't caused too much ill-will.
Of course other life responsibilities took me away from LNP, but I don't really have great excuses for why I didn't at least give you guys any updates on myself or re-direct you to other versions sooner, other than just my mind has been elsewhere. But It was NOT my intention to go dead silent for so long and have it be such a forced/jarring transition. Yes it was my intention to let others work on and maybe eventually take over The Lazy Newb pack after I had released it open source. I think I have to apologize for my long absence. It wasn't a complete pack, but just the launcher component that could be used to build platform-specific packs. This launcher was never finished and so never achieved wide usage, however some early Mac and Linux packs were available based on this version.

It became the key component of the pack, which allows easy configuration of the DF installation, choose graphics packs, launching of utilities, and provided one click toggling of settings instead of editing configuration files by hand. On DecemLucasUP released the first version of the Lazy Newb Pack that contained the graphical interface launcher that is well known today. It may however be interesting to look back at how the LNP/Starter Pack movement evolved. This section is provided for information, and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for these packs. Eventually, someone new steps up and releases their own pack. Maintaining a pack is a lot of work, and, over the years, people inevitably lose time or motivation to update their packs.
These can be found further down this page. Each platform's version is maintained by different community contributors. Separate packs are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Packs also make a great basis to start your own set of modifications from as you don't need to find, configure, compile, install, and update every tool for yourself. Using a pack lets you focus on playing the game, while still having access to quality-of-life additions like graphics/tilesets, utilities, and being able to change common settings without editing text files. Simply download the relevant one for your operating system, and start playing Dwarf Fortress with all the best utilities and graphics/tilesets.ĭespite the name, the modern packs are ideal for new and veteran players alike. The Lazy Newb Packs or Starter packs are packages to get people started with Dwarf Fortress.
