If I remember Toady's numbering system, in the last two years we've moved 4% closer to DF being complete.

4% closer to the v1.0 criteria of 100 "major" features completed, anyway.

I was weirded out for a second before I realized that yeah, the pop culture definition of "Succubus" has been watered down to the point where it just means "demon with tits."

Now I'm slightly less weirded out.

No that's worse. Instead of a Catholic Mythology-derived metaphor for the male atavistic fear of sex, speaking to the psychological intersection between sexual temptation and moral damnation, they're just semipornographic sex objects that serve as a supposedly-acceptable way to objectify women (because they're soulless, you see, so it's OK).

Note: I don't know anything about Lost Girl.

- Added dwarven emigration script: Unhappy dwarves might now pack up and leave. And might take their family/pets with them.
- Default is "litte emigration", but you have 4 choices in the Embassy: No, Little, Moderate and A Lot.
- Emigrating dwarves will turn "friendly" and leave around the time the next caravan will leave. So they might hang around your meeting area for a bit.

I'm almost tempted to try this!

I encountered slight resistance on the way. An ebola outbreak in Guinee and a rebell attack at the Liberian/Ivorian border did lead to it being closed. I had to skip Mali/Cote D'Ivoire, and I made it back sooner than expected.

Well that explains why its early. Maybe Toady should go globe trotting, might speed up progress on the game a little bit.

Does Masterwork or DFhack do something with military behavior regarding retreating? I've noticed a few times now a military dwarf has taken a pretty bad injury and then ran away back to safety. I kind of like it but I don't remember that in vanilla.

No, that happens naturally. The exact criteria that cause that are still a mystery.

Dwarf Fortress 2014 - The Reason for Retreating is Still a Mystery

More relevant: I come back to the game pretty regularly, but I've kinda fell out of actually doing the fortress part. Instead I usually make adventurers until one kills all the quest targets within a reasonably large area, feel I'm at the best I'll ever be, and only then go into fortress mode. In order to dig a hole straight into hell. Then I bring that adventurer out of retirement and fight the forces of hell for as long as they will survive it. Then I do it all over again a while later.

Everyone should bring a pocket world to the Age of Emptiness once, just for the experience of walking into a major city and wading through elves and humans like a hurricane of death. I recommend a Dwarf with proper bluestuff equipment for the Combat Trance, but you can really do it with whatever.

(No bigger than pocket, though, as even a Small changes it from 'long mission' to 'busy work on the level of 100%ing Just Cause 2.)

Masterwork problem; I've got a steam engine which is obviously working, but I can't seem to actually use the power. I have two gear assemblies and a horizontal axle attached to the top left and right corners, where the power's supposed to come out, but all of them are showing inactive and unpowered. Most perplexing. I'm trying to learn about minecarts, but it's proving difficult because I can't power the rollers. :argh:

The engine in question is low-left; got a diamond gear assembly going north from it to the roller, a steel assembly just attached to the right corner, and an axle going north from the right corner. None of them are powered, though the engine is working.

I was mostly joking, and also trying to inflict the curse of hope on some of the rest of y'all. Honestly though I would've been more pessimistic a year ago. It seems more likely for the "adding new poo poo" phase to go on forever as opposed to the bug fixing phase. Well, some programmers might be stuck in the bug fixing phase forever, but Toady's "good enough for release" is pretty permissive.

It's been 2 years since the last release. It's legitimately more likely at this point that Toady will mysteriously drop dead from a heart attack than it is that he'll release it in the next month.

Eh, it was 11 months from the last release when the first iteration of the current version came out. Just about a two year gap between 0.28.181.40d and 0.31.01 too.

To deal with the frozen water situation in adv mode, there's something of a hack now that lets you just make a campfire without any fuel, and the warmth from the fire allows you to melt ice and snow, after a fashion. It's good enough for now to prevent dehydration. I also sped up the melting of river ice in dwarf mode.

This was the last devlog before 34.01 got released two days after. He doesn't do big entrances.
