I always just turn them off. Breaching in the first year sucks, and trying to make an underground surface farm sucks even worse if you have aquifers.

they're a fun exercise when you've got like 2 levels and rapidly cease to be any fun at all when you find out youve got like 4+, it's worth using dfhack to figure out what you're getting yourself into

i rly wish the same techniques worked for building into/under the ocean

If you don't want to leave your site/world, type drainaquifer into dfhack to get rid of aquifer layers.

is masterwork ever gonna get updated to the latest version cause it seems like lateluy Toady spends 99% of every update on insane timewasting bullshit that you will literally never see instead of just 95%, and also making sure that his seven months of coding individual dwarf hairs don't glitch out and accidentally make the game do fun things like let you have a fortress full of wizards, and masterwork was just some pretty good gameplay tweaks

The .06 version of Reborn is a little deceptive. it has a lot of the core features of masterwork like simple wood and the new workshops still in, but cut out a lot of bloat. It's good enough right now to play with. Disable Succubi

please don't fault the good people of the dwarf fortress community for wanting to play as a humble farming village of sex demons

My site has an addy vein poking above the ground of the third cavern. Hell yeah.

Cool tip: Forts built on one Z level have the best FPS.

the dwarves can write poems now and it tells you what kinds of lyrical meter their culture has historically preferred.

no!!!! these are the features of the next release. The latest (.40.24) runs the world in the background, adds emotions, multi level trees, expanded dialogue, and lets you retire forts without abandoning them.

So it's the last update I played then. It ran like a piece of poo poo and the ability for dwarves to climb and stuff was all well and good but he didn't really make the pathing good. So you'd get insane poo poo like say you have an open, 4-level space in the middle of your fort with some stairs on all sides. Well, climbing stairs is faster than scaling the wall but that doesn't stop your dwarves sometimes.

The creepily aloof dialogue while people slice apart helpless goblins is pretty funny though, I have to admit.
