The Modest Mod is a collection of vital bugfixes and tweaks that everyone should be able to use comfortably and without reservation. This mod doesn't add anything new. It doesn't do anything controversial. It's just like vanilla DF, but a little better. French vanilla.

Also available in the default tileset.

MODULES

Modest Modules involve changes that, while popular, are a little too ambitious for the core mod.

Modules included in release 0.42.06-1 are:

• Accelerated - Significantly reduces the number of materials present in the game, increasing performance.
• Everything Is Tameable - With the exception of the civilized races, you can tame anything. Not compatible with Pedestals.
• Everything Is Tameable for Accelerated - A version of the Everything Is Tameable module which is compatible with the Accelerated module. Install AFTER Accelerated. Not compatible with Pedestals.
• Modest Bodies - Modifies body definitions to add joints between "upper" and "lower" limbs, and renames some body parts - e.g. "upper leg" to "thigh."
• Pedestals - Allows you to mount & display crafts, particularly artifacts. Not compatible with Everything Is Tameable.
• Pedestals for Accelerated - A version of the Pedestals module which is compatible with the Accelerated module. Install AFTER Accelerated. Not compatible with Everything Is Tameable.
• Tooltips - Provides descriptions & important information for most Fortress Mode reactions. Likely to be helpful for newbies.
• Tooltips for Accelerated - A version of the Tooltips module which is compatible with the Accelerated module. Install AFTER Accelerated.

Unless otherwise noted, Modest Modules are compatible with each other and can be installed in any order.
