I made kids "adults" at 2 in the raws. As soon as they can walk and talk I put them to work in the mines. Also found out if you change the age after you gen they grow up on their next birthday.

Any notion when these fixes will become a bugfix release? (I seem to remember three or four releases in the space of a week last time around :) )

Dwarf Fortress Valentine's Day Veneral Disease
Fix'd that for you.  :P

Anyhow, love the new units screen to bits, immigrants with actual useful skills are the dog's, and some of the Evil biomes really live up to their name.  Little fixes all over the place and smoother running overall, world gen and mosquito congas notwithstanding. The occasional werecreatures and other lesser semimegabeasts are a refreshing distraction.

What's not so sweet is the abovementioned legions of conga-dancing furries, and I think the endlessly reanimating body parts are going to be a problem in the long run, at least due to the eventual inevitable FPS death.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Given how fast they came out last time, it's entirely possible he's compiling the new bugfix release as we speak, and it will be out in the next day.

That's my hope, at least.

I really, REALLY want to start a new fortress and work on my new mod, but I feel there's no point in getting into anything too deep until the game is at a more stable point.

likes:

I love the tension and decision making that comes with the added difficulty.  Planning for threats that come from within your fortress adds new dimension to the game.  Now as much as I may need the immigrant wave to hurry my fortress defenses it may include a greater danger.  Do I risk one more wave, or begin a true dwarven welcome for them.

Hospitals are now prisons usually guarded and often prone to mysterious plumbing failure success.

dislikes:

My first save crash. Ever.
The constant decision to play another round, or wait for the next patch is evil food for the masochist in me.

I love the unit screen, I love the addition of normal stone to the jewelers' workshop and I hate, hatesy hate hate giant giant mosquito swarms. (that is, a giant swarm of giant mosquitoes).

Its just some bug, theres a fix in the modding forum actually.
giant musqitous are supposed to appear only by one.
but toady made them inherit the tags from normal musqioutos, which come in groups of 200, and forgot to remove the group tag.
