After updating entire fortress turned into Miranda...
« on: February 05, 2007, 02:13:00 am »

After my laptop crashed I updated to Dwarf Fortress 0.23.130.23a. Imeadiately after doing so, Dwarves started starving, then dying. At first I thought some silly dwarves had got lost or trapped somewhere but then -LOTS-  of them started dying. by the end every dwarf bar  6 had starved, and those 6 had gone beserk.

While the idea of sending in a reclimation party to put an end to the surving 'reavers'  is entertaining. It was rather sad to loose a 12 year fortress like that, especially when it had over 900 food stockpiled in easily acessed caches.

Is this a bug?

The version right before that had a bug that would cause this if the economy had started and was fixed for 23.130.23a.  I have no idea what's causing this if you aren't actually in the previous version.  Did you check all the standard accessibility issues?

I had this problem when I painfully learned that most food has to be cooked before you can eat it. Do you have prepared food stockpiled?
