Dwarfs and water can be pretty stupid (like with everything really), I know having some tiles in water can screw up the pathfinding so just be careful with where you put the water

yes Gormaz, they are..

anyway, i was trying to irrigate some land with floodgates when this happen

Whole troop of rhesus macaques making a beeline from the edge of the map to my disassembled caravan and stealing stuff

GOD DAMN

Dwarf Fortress 0.31.03 is out

Fixes: 0.31.03

Wait some more for more fixes

Cant wait for this version to stabilize. I gonna find a map with an underground river, magma, chasm, HFS and I'm all set

Yar, looks like Toady working on some of the most show-stopping bugs right now such as the pathfinding issues and crashes.

Can't wait to try out all the new stuff, hospital and new undeground things sounds really good stuff

i watch this in awe

Yar, that fort was really awesome.

Personally I usually go for very "functional" forts with more or less the same floor design each time

- Ground / tradepost / barracks (could be on a cliff though)
- Some piles (wood mostly, this is also a "temporary" level when I start up, to bring stuff underground quickly before I dig the rest below), I usually put kennels/animals - handling stuff here
- empty (to avoid cave ins if I start building towers or channeling like a mofo on surface)
- housing
- dining hall / food and booze industry
- few levels empty to avoid noise to housing
- huge piles level (for the industries below)
- "industry" level with most of my workshops like crafting, masons, carpenter etc.

Metalworking is usually located somewhere else depending of magma.

Overall it works well but it does get a bit "boring", just that I am usually not the most artistic or creative person when it comes to design

I really can't wait to have the bugs in the latest version fixed, I have not been able to make the military really work so I never really managed to explore the new caverns too much.

Yar, it's getting pretty good for this version, I am only waiting on some major military fix to start a new fort.

In my last tried with that version I was not really able to get my dorfs to train, the new military menu is pretty hard to get around.
I might try again soon and make sure they do individual training and not group one (group seems to be totally bugged right now)

did they fix the prob with crossbow?

Didnt see that one in the changelog yet.

I think Toady said he will soon focus on doing a whole bunch of bug fix on the whole military system.

Lots of stuff to be done on some critical stuff like crossbows, training, equipment (some bug fixes on equipping your military were done in previous version though), weapon damage and armour balancing etc.

I will wait for this to get myself really started, not fun to rely only on traps for fighting in my opinion

How distracted I was from dorf fortress

I've always wanted to get into Minecraft but the price has been a barrier of entry for me. Last I checked it was 10 pounds or something, which translates to around RM50. Pretty ridiculous for an alpha version of a browser game. If they changed it to USD I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

0.31.12 is out, seems to have fixed majority of bugs in the military.

I will give it a try as soon as there are updated versions of MayDay pack and Dwarf Therapist

Me like pretty pictures

I like kittens, they make good food... >_>

I am trying to find out why my dwarfs train military very very slowly now, after 6 years of training they are still at maximum "Skilled"...
New military system is still kinda hard to get used to really.
