AND THESE F*CKINGLY ORGANIZED STOCKS.

I'm even not speaking of scrolling speed, it's everywhere only with mouse wheel or clicks.

Have to press EVERY KIND OF MATERIAL just to see how many of it is.
And any containers like barrels/bags/bins/etc.

But the most UNDESCRIBABLE STUPID Prepared meals are shown.

To be fair, v0.47, also showed all prepared meals as "prepared meals [х]" until you hit Tab, which was stupid too.  If you must click on each one separately now it's indeed a bad change, but meals specifically were always like that.

To add, farm plots wouldn't work either.  Oceans just don't support any vegetation at all.  (Obviously this doesn't apply to underground tiles below the ocean; these can grow fungi.)

Yes, I recall reading before that Tactics skill can be trained reasonably fast, but I won't be able to spare (or train, or even equip) 60 soldiers any time soon, and I'm not cool with letting them die without good reason, so in the end I embarked with a proficient tactician, who is just about to retire as miner, then intern as a manager (organizer is useful for soldiers too), and then he can lead the military.  Hopefully proficient + full steel will be enough to avoid early losses.

On that topic, it's sad that mining apparently doesn't increase attributes anymore, I was hoping for at least some strength gain, but no luck (and he's been legendary+5 for a while now!)

Also, not sure about sand, but I found it more convenient to collect clay from nearby unmined walls rather than clay floor, because you must build a road/etc. on the floor to keep it from being overgrown, and walls are safe from that.  More importantly, it's impossible to designate a stockpile over said road; but if you have the clay stockpile right over the collecting zone, dwarves will just pile unlimited clay there (so it's quantum), and then it can be linked to somewhere else (a track stop dumping clay into a vertical chute, in my case).  I initially tried to put a small ordinary stockpile nearby, but it was filling up quickly and required more overall hauling.

Of course, it's impossible to get soil walls with the mud trick, but since you went for a cave-in anyway, might as well drop a wall next time (if there are still any left above your tunnel).  Whatever caused your sand floor to vanish probably won't erase the entire wall!

I'm pretty sure releasing a caged wild animal makes it count towards the wildlife cap again, but yeah, they can give birth in cages.  The offspring thing might work, I wanted to try that myself.

Oh, that's right!  I think smoothing the floor also works, not sure about walls though.  But it's still important to check for boots and to keep (barefoot) animals away until done.

Update: I finally got a good fisherdwarf migrant, and she successfully fished some mussels out of the isolated part of the river.  It means I can build a safe fishing spot after all!
