My last Baron died because he kept ordering crystal glass. A locked door and a little patience solved the problem, however

Edit: I still think one of my favourite DF moments, though, was :-

Ilud Ithrokar, Baroness has bled to death.
Ildur Ethminkat, Baron has thrown a party at Iron Statue.

That's just perfect.

[BloodEagle]

Huh.  I managed to pick a map that seems to be made up of nothing but aquifers.  All the way up the mountain, in fact.

I don't play Dwarf Fortress, but I found this on another forum and thought it would be appropriate.

And sorry about the size, but lvlshotting it just makes it bigger.

[Ransom]

It is the appropriatest.

The new version is nice, on the whole. But the redesigned military is a bit of a mess. It's a much more powerful system, but it's almost impressive how unintuitive it is. Even by DF standards the implementation just seems overcomplicated.

I'm going to stick with the last version until 3rd party applications like dwarf therapist are compatible with the newer version.

Indoor farming is completely borked.  I pray for a quick fix.*

*Yay, context!

[Ransom]

Indoor farming works. You just need to irrigate everything now.

Had one crash in the Finder, it seems that if you hit enter twice, it tries to perform two searches simultaneously and everything comes grinding to a halt Also had a crash in the Arena, but not including that, since it is a test. All in all, not a bad version, but there's a couple of niggling fixes that I hope get done soon.

Edit: Yeah, the finder grinds to a halt and crashes the game whenever I try to use it, back to the old trick of poring over the map for ages

Said the not-so-lazy person.

I could never stomach trying to learn adventure mode. :/

As that's coming from someone who's bothered to learn how to play any part of Dwarf Fortress period, you really don't have much of an excuse.

[Flipside]

Well, I dug into an underground cavern, and now I just get page after page of routing messages. I think that the dwarves are trying to collect stuff that is in the cavern, but because the cavern is not all revealed at once, they cannot route past the hidden parts

[BloodEagle]

Tasking the creation of rock short swords within the craft-workshop creates wooden weapons.

Yeah. 

[McMad]

All my dwarfs are dead. All the dwarfs I sent to reclaim are dead. 

I've never seen a massacre so complete. Around six dwarfs made it to a shelter I'd prepared, but locked in and with no supplies they were doomed. As the things where prowling around outside they knew there was no escape. They had time to prepare themselves a tomb before they succumbed to thirst. It was more than the others got.

The reclaimers didn't even stand a chance. I don't think they even lasted a day...

[NGTM-1R]

You could just reclaim spam.

The HFS has gotten an upgrade...

Losing is fun!

[McMad]

Not for the dwarfs it wasn't. The new combat system is brutal, if a bit strange (Why the creatures think that when they have their victim already in a stranglehold with their hands and have pinned their sword arm with a wing that they also need to grip the poor guys upper teeth with their feet is above me. )  I think dwarf fortress is now the definitive simulation of being ripped to shreds by angry things.

So much blood...

New Version:

Release notes for 0.31.02 (April 8, 2010):

Here's the first little update.  Things are still settling down after the release, but it looks like I'll be able to work with the new bug tracker and handle things there day by day.  There will be a few more of these small releases before I begin the SDL/Mac/Linux/40d# merge, since there are more crashes and huge problems, but I'm going to start some of the preparation for the merge as well.

Crash fix
   (*) [GRAPHICS:YES] should no longer crash the arena or world generation
   (*) fixed training activity crash (from removal of barracks)
   (*) fixed crash from doing a large flow-style activity zone

Minor changes
   (*) made zone removal still work if flows are corrected (uses rectangles)
   (*) made material projectile breath happen intermittently properly
   (*) corrected gorlak color
   (*) made blind cave bears eyeless and gave them extravision
   (*) fixed broken eyelid relationships
   (*) fixed broken child names for goat/unicorn/cave swallow
   (*) swapped giant caste names
   (*) fixed giant cave spider bite (was blunt)
   (*) fixed alligator eye text
   (*) made soap bars instead of globs
   (*) fixed horn silver environment

edit: I had put these in file changes but copied them into the wrong place in release notes

   (*) added cookability/vermin eating to meat material templates
   (*) added cookability/vermin eating to plant leaf/seed materials

I was kind of hoping for a farming fix.

Meh. Maybe next time. :/

[NGTM-1R]

So when do they fix the -clowns- in the -circus-?

Some of them right now can only be killed by the -Dwarven Atom Smasher-.

[BloodEagle]

Huh. Apparently, when born on stairs, children fall to their deaths.
