📄 Description

New field note: replacing the dwarf map sprite in Dwarf Fortress v53.16 (Steam, native Linux) with a custom 32x32 sprite via raws.

Key findings:

On Linux, local mods load from ~/.local/share/Bay 12 Games/Dwarf Fortress/mods/, not <install>/mods/.
A mod's CREATURE_GRAPHICS:DWARF layer sets don't override vanilla's; the vanilla dwarf layer sets had to be stripped (with um backup).
um scan suggests a native-hook route for DF; the right route is data/raws.
um win input doesn't exist on Linux; uinput + hyprctl movecursor and wtype both failed to drive fullscreen DF on Hyprland.

Verified in game by screenshot; um kb check passes.
