Is there a reason why, or process to prevent, military dwarves from periodically shedding armor, particularly when off-duty? I have the squad designated to wear armor replacing clothing and to stay in armor when off-duty but they seem to love to randomly take off armor pieces while doing various tasks. Also, as an aside, is there any good reason not to equip marksdwarves in plate as opposed to the leather armor typically recommended?

Plate is heavy (slows you down until you get higher armor user skill) and costs more to make, but other than that nope.

Archers shouldn't be the most expensive part of your retinue, since the assholes in the front are taking all the hits anyway.

Yeah but since when is metal armor really that difficult to come by? I am generally swimming in iron, and later steel, just by digging out my basic fort geometry and even more so after a little exploratory mining.

You are an absolute legend. DT works now, all the compiling with those commands went smoothly, the only difference was that instead of taking the 40.05 layouts from the LNP version of DT I had to take it from the original standalone download I got for Linux (the LNP version looks out of date still..). For the record I was indeed running 12.04 Ubuntu LTS 64bit. Thanks so much for the help. Wouuld you mind if I quote this over on the Bay12 thread for anybody having the same problem?

If a dwarf is assigned to wear helmets (as an example) and currently are wearing a =steel helm=, when a *steel helm* becomes available they'll toss off the lower quality helm for the better one. So if you have armorers pumping out armor for instance, dwarves assigned to wear that armor will immediately shed what they're wearing and race to pick up and equip the higher quality piece. Aside from this, I don't know what it could be.

Praise rivers. Remove Goblin.  Praise rivers. Also I found this when I first tried to do a fort.  So not only am I going to face goblin attack (at war) I'm also going to deal with a titan attack as well? Lawman 0 fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Funny thing, some other guy apparently fixed the same problem by just moving the executable in the DT folder. quote:Dash, I have Ubuntu 12.04 as well, and ExpHP told my to cp the executable from /bin/release to the main folder like so: Posted your solution anyway, I'm just glad it's working.

I have steel plate lying about and squads training in leather. Only my militias Commander seems to pick up good armor. Some are sparring in cloaks and mittens only like autistic Spartans.

The Moon Monster posted:Beekeeping question: how can I tell when a hive is ready to be harvested? Is a hive that's ready to split also ready to harvest? afaik, yes. since harvesting destroys the colony, you should keep about half of your hives on split duty. e: the wiki says the ready to split happens "shortly" before harvest time, but I've never noticed a clear interval

Splitting is weird and I don't think has ever quite worked right. When you're ready to harvest, the [t] cursor shows that there's products inside. The default stewing time is a bafflingly long six months.

The higher "ranked" members of a squad will prioritize the higher quality armor pieces, but unless you don't have your squads assigned to wear armor or specifically forbid them from metal armor should they do that. Speaking of autistic Spartans, I like to have a squad of dedicated wrestlers who wear cloaks and pants and do nothing but spar in the middle of a dedicated arena in the middle of the dining hall. I pretend it's dwarf WWE  e: on an unrelated note, does anyone know if surface snow will melt if you pump magma to the level below it? I'm hoping someone can confirm this y/n before I flood my entire map with magma. Catts fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Aug 2, 2014 |

You know, the only thing more incredible than the amount of generosity you have shown in the two years up till this last release is the reward you have presented afterwards! You know it's true value you are getting for your gifts. Tarn has been working like a machine for months, and it doesn't seem like you want him to stop!
Wow, that's pretty good. I hope you are enjoying the new version. It has been an exciting month. We sent out 80 crayon art rewards in July, and there are another 20 to draw! August promises to be a bug-fixery time. We've also mentioned that we'd get to fruit harvesting, dwarf-sized equipment in wg forts, a 64 bit test, various small suggestions (mostly with the interface), and a dwarf thought rewrite leading into job priorities, but it is hard to say when those will begin or otherwise be intertwined with all the bug squashing. It could be we handle a few of those this time, or it could just be bugs. We'll be working on bugs for some time yet, overall.

I was wondering what the donations total for Toady would be since he actually got a release out: $15273.52, pretty good.
