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, Ironhand, Obsidian, Phoebus, and Spacefox tilesets.

MODULES

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

Modules included in release 0.40.24-2a are:

• Pedestals - Allows you to mount & display crafts, particularly artifacts.
• Modest Bodies - Modifies body definitions to add joints between "upper" and "lower" limbs, and renames some body parts - e.g. "upper leg" to "thigh."
• Accelerated - Significantly reduces the number of materials present in the game, increasing performance.
• Accelerated+Pedestals Combined - Combines the Accelerated module with the Pedestals module.

Modules which work together logically, but would not work correctly if installed separately, are bundled into Combined Modules. Please install the Combined Module(s) of your choice INSTEAD OF their component parts.

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