Oh, which reminds me, are undead sponges still immortal environmental hazards that occasionally (slowly) maim dwarves, or did Toady make them killable at some point with all the undead damage changes?

You can batter anything to death eventually now. Even the things that don't specifically bleed or have any vital weak points.

I'm pretty excited, this fort is getting near to FPS death and I want to start a new one. When I let the world go for 500-1000 years it has tons of cool history but then most of the cool things like rocs and dragons have been dead for hundreds of years already. More vampires though - when I run worlds at 100-200 years I rarely get one but this fort at year 516 has 2 already. If I pump up the numbers of dragons and whatnot any decent number then they wipe out most of the civs. What do you guys usually let worldgen get to?

It's pretty obvious that he's been knocking out a whole lot of fundamental underpinning work over the last long drought between updates, and now he's capitalizing on it. Must be nice to not have to carry technical debt. . .

This is why I always tell you to take a chill pill when he's churning away and not visibly producing anything.  I'm still as impressed as you lot, though.

I think this should be a reminder to everyone that it's not a bad idea to give Toady a Christmas present of like five or ten bucks. God bless us, everyone.

I keep telling myself I'll come back to the game when he stops with this current update cycle and the game stabilizes at a single version for a while. BUT HE KEEPS DOING STUFF. Keep going Toady, please.

I have big plans in the next few weeks to get a fort going in 40.19, since DFHack and Dwarf Therapist are fully compatible. Not sure when that will happen again, once another patch comes out.

I love how Toady can spend 6 months implementing stuff that seems trivial to us (but is vital in his long-term plan) and then knock out 6 major gameplay improvements in a matter of weeks there's beauty in such madness

Is there a summary available of these major upcoming improvements? I haven't been keeping up with the thread. All I've picked up is some hauling improvements. (and queued designations? Did I read that right?)

The Great and Powerful Toad posted:I added some different mining designations -- gems only (in the selected area as usual, unhidden tiles), economically useful only (including gems), and an automated designation that spreads to the same material when a job finishes. This can't be placed on layer-wide walls (so you don't mine out all the chalk in the universe), but it can be placed on walls which are part of large oval clusters (which the dwarf will proceed to mine out entirely), vein walls and small cluster walls. Road and wall/etc. construction jobs use two skill-free labor settings now, since skill didn't matter for constructions anyway.

If he could somehow make dwarves take minecart routes set up for riding into account in the pathfinding so I can have a tram servicing my fort I'd be ecstatic.

According to the updates in the OP, we have had a "stable" version of DF2014 for nearly a month now. Soothsayers and Bay12ers, what say you: are we winding down for another two-year development cycle or can we expect to see another spurt of activity? I have been actively avoiding DF2014 since its release this summer because I didn't want to have to deal with corrupted save files and constant updates, and am hoping we (will soon) have a version that I can engross myself into for days..

I don't know man, Toady hasn't shown any signs of slowing down these releases with amazing gameplay updates. I do know that he seems to go out of his way to not break saves though, so maybe you'll be safe?

I've just been a crippled quivering wreck and haven't even looked at it. The current version is a highly stable 0.40.19, it came out on November 26th and all the utilities are up to date. We also haven't had save corruption/backwards compatibility breakpoints since version .03, so that's positive. I'm expecting Toady to find a whole lot of things wrong with the new system down the line, so I'm not too confident of version .20 coming out this month.

The updates to Adventurer mode have me totally boggled/entranced. I might actually have to give it a shot when more of those updates are released. I'm still having weird issues with burrows not being respected and animals not being pastured. Ducks and geese are chillin' in all the dining rooms. I do not know why, they are not pets nor are they available to become pets. This is EGG FORTRESS, get back to laying eggs! Coincidentally, my cook who was churning out masterwork lavish meals was possessed while gathering eggs and ended up losing his mind because I couldn't figure out exactly what kind of rock he was demanding.  Fisherdorf is still alive, though. That's all that matters.

I have always wanted dwarves to be able to carry flasks around, and let them use them when they get thirsty to slake their thirst once before they need to refill it. In my head, they'd only be able to be made from metal, too, which would add some additional pressure to get a metalworks up (as dwarves who can just drink their flask on the spot and get back to work would be more efficient.) Plus, I want to make flasks out of lead, only.
