@rib: Not really my own opinion on climbability, just what I remembered (offhand) from what Toady had mentioned in talks/this thread. You are right about the 'impossible', that was supposed to be 'harder' (to climb blocks).

How about climbing/clamping onto the underside of floors/cave ceilings for flying and/or clawed creatures such as swallowmen, bats and spiders?
Will this be a 'lowhanging fruit' (;)) when climbing is put in, or will the additional pathfinding for climb-capables be a project in itself?


New bug: upon starting a fort, when the cave swallowmen eventually lose their grips on the ceiling...

Anyways, Toady One, will there be a way to better manage worn clothes in the next version as there really isn't any simple way to separate the worn clothes and keep them out of the new and unworn clothes stockpiles? Like for example, a stockpile option.

I support this.

Suggestions don't belong in the FotF thread and we have a board for that for a reason.

I was just giving an example of what a way to better manage worn clothes might be, and it's a legit question.

Well, if by "next version" you mean the one being worked on right now, the answer is most probably no. There has been no mention of improving the way the game deals with managing worn clothing in DF at all in the devlogs or anywhere else. Maybe on the subsequent release, when they will be dealing with smaller, more dwarf mode related problems while working on job priorities as they said they would, this could come up.

Its not a job priority thing though. Unless they made it a new job. If anything, its an extra setting for a stockpile.

Repairing clothing seems like it would be a workshop reaction, to improve the wear quality on things (and give us more of a use for those clothiers.) It seems like the perfect thing to get Toady to tangent into expanding wear quality to lots of -other- things too, so definitely not something to include in this release.

Reparing clothing is a popular suggestion and there are tons of threads to discuss it in.  It won't be in the next version.  It's not on the dev page, which means if it does get implemented, it probably won't be anytime soon.

Does anyone know if the agriculture is getting any updates in the next release?

I've heard about fruiting trees and Toady One has mentioned coconuts and maybe mangoes in the devlog, so I do know about that. As far as what other updates to agriculture are in the next release, no idea.

While a good deal of the agriculture update seems to be with fruiting trees, I have no idea about creating fruit tree farms.

You can pick berries in adv mode, IIRC, unless that was only fruits.

Now that trees are relatively done for the time being, how is the addition of browsing for certain grazers looking? Since this is needed to fix the issue of certain larger grazers starving currently, is this something we might see touched in the post release fixing period? Or would that be too extensive an addition and have to wait for a future release? :>

Nopes, animal feeding isn't gonna be worked on for this release. There been no dev logs about it, and it'd be very unlikely that that bug would get fixed, as they aren't related to any of the features for this release.

Also how do they relate to trees?

Trees were adjusted for the Elves and the trees were never part of the animal feeding that currently in the game.

Well, the problem couldn't get fixed until multi-tile trees were implemented anyway. There was something about reaching or maybe the fruits that fall on the ground could supplement for the larger grazers.

I didn't say this release. A bunch of issues will most likely be poked at, both old and new, after the release and new bugs are ironed out. As for how it's related to trees iirc updating trees was one of the hurdles to take care of last time this issue was discussed, hence the question :P
