Okay, with the new issue out, i figured that i could put together a thread where we can ask questions about various issues for "features" that may or may not be bugs.  In addition, discussion may include

So, my first one:
I have a farm that is declared "outside" with no discernible way up. BUT, I do have several tiles that have been revealed.  Has anyone encountered this? Is it perhaps, related to the new trees extending downward before they are cut down? I seem to recall a thread where someone cut a tree down in their barracks, only for the tree to cause the river to flood the barracks.

If your fortress spent any time being played in version 0.40.04, then it's possible you had some trees grow up through the ceiling, ripping a hole and exposing the farm to sunlight after you removed the tree.  If this is the case, you should be able to see the hole, on the level above the farm.

Nope.  It started in 40.05. 

Also, I have had a strange FPS drop.  I have 50 dwarves now, and i'm getting 15 FPS.  NOrmally, in the previous editions, i would be at 100 FPS.

Good thread.

Anyone else having the same issue as I have with Jewelry?

Seems i Can Cut anything like it was a gem (stones that is) tetrahedrite , Marble anything that can be mined goes.
Was going to report it but seemed there was a bug like that allready reported for 0.32 but it was labeled as a feature.

Was going to report it but seemed there was a bug like that already reported for 0.32 but it was labeled as a feature.

Yea, i have that had "feature" as well. It seems that it is actually meant to be.

On that note: I've had FPS issues.  Its related due to the fact that the entire world is simulated while in fortress mode now.  The bigger the world, the more it has to work on.  As a result fortress mode slows down, and in the case of large worlds, long histories, and big populations, it slows down ALOT.

It's substantially better in .40.05 than .40.04, but it's still a bit murderous. Shorter histories helps, but smaller worlds helps a LOT. Also worth noting: it's not constant. I get periods where everything slows down to may be 20 FPS for an in-game day then accelerates back up to 100FPS where it tootles along until I accidentally screw up some plumbing.

That was added in the previous version as a way for you to train your gemcrafters without wasting valuable gems on novices.
It was coupled with the mining changes to remove a lot of micromanagement needed when working with skilled/less skilled dwarves.

That may be true, but for me, It STILL lead to a massive drop off, in which i dropped down to 15fps, when i would normally be at 100. Hence me mentioning it again.
