Anyone got a clue on how smelling will be observed?

Will it be like a message, i.e.

"You smell a rotting corpse!"

or will it be an active thing, like you hit a button to see what you smell, or perhaps there would be a tile tinge based on smells?

I'm pretty certain it'll be text only for now. Once there are scent-based trails, I guess there'll be an option to switch to a scent-based display, similar to the sound display while sneaking. Perhaps there'll be some sort of ! or S tile to notify that you smell something.

The rotting elf corpse wafts the cheesemaker in the face and the severed part sails off in an arc!

I got the impression that smelled creatures will be seen on the map just like seen creatures, except that they'll appear in the gray part of the map.

You'd think being a cheesemaker would make him used to foul smells.

“I have to do a successful depot run first” with regards to the latest devlog, does that mean dwarven traders will now come through caverns or tunnels to our fortresses?

[TD1]

Also in relation to the tunnels, will there be soldiers stationed along the length, or enemies polluting it (Bandits, goblins, kobolds, etc.). Or will there simply be an uninhabited tunnel?

Don't they already do that sometimes? At least the packanimal part of the caravan, not sure about the wagons.

Pretty sure that a strong no.

Leaving, on the other hand.... Either way, the depot run seems to be an adventure mode test given everything Toady said - he was talking about brokers missing from worldgen fortresses, and using a dwarven adventurer to do the depot run. I'm not quite sure what the depot run would be, to be honest, though. Going from fortress depot to fortress depot via deep site depots and making sure each is reachable and ready to trade, I guess?

I thought they did sometimes. Maybe I'm thinking of the liason? The caravans do leave via the underground if you give them that option.

I've never seen anything besides hostile creatures come in from the caverns, ever. You can force caravans through the caverns, though, and it can be an interesting and fun way to get rid of any forgotten beasts you have down there, if you have way for them to get that far... and a method of keeping said forgotten beast occupied until the caravan arrives.

[smjjames]

I might have had a liason arrive in the first cavern level once, but I'm not 100% sure on that. They have left via the caverns a number of times though.

Long devlog is long.
And it's looking glorious.

[EnigmaticHat]

Now I'm wondering if the gremlin calling for help was a general feature, or a specific tool gremlins have to lure travelers off the path.

...but I don't actually want Toady to answer that because not knowing is more fun.

Re: devlog: really excited to see the beginnings of a richer Adv. Mode experience.

I have had elven caravans leave through the 1st level of the cavern before.
