Toady, while adventuring on a frozen sea, I saw this huge square of ice appear out of nowhere, with a perfectly straight crack running through it that went down farther than I could see. Do you know about this?

bug #3166: All sorts of weirdness with freezing oceans in adventure mode ( http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=3166 ) - without save from 34.02+

For extra fun, try sleeping on the ice.

Eeeeeyup.

Questions: On the new mining/hauling system overhaul, is it possible to make mining cart traps? Will they be able to move without help or will they need a pushing dorf? Also, can they hit invisible things if pushed through?

Thanks for the great game that's been ruining my work/study for a long, long time (i don't even know when i first played it, but i was using Mayday's GP).

Brain hurts.  If we can start using mine carts for invisible enemy detection I envision a great deal of !fun! and interesting !science!

I just want to know if we'll be able to craft elaborate minecart racing levels for playing in adventure mode. Pretty Temple of Doom, eh? Magma and all...

sounds like stockpiles can be far away from where they need to be.

Well, maybe.  To me it sounds more like inter-stockpile shipments will be very efficient.  So you might have a huge central stone stockpile, with rail lines to the mining site, and to smaller stockpiles near the mason's shop and so on.

But this is all speculation at the moment.

This would be, quite simply, awesome

I am imagining rail lines being used for rapid transit of large quantities of goods from one stockpile to the next.

Want to move that 500 rock you just mined?

1) Designate the area where the stone is as a stone stockpile

2) Indicate that the main stone stockpile should pull from this stone stockpile.

3) create a rail line between the two.

4) Watch dwarves load mining carts from the stone source and take to stone storage.

Lots of different ways this could be done, most of which would be very nice!

I see a million mining cart related deaths... and fort deaths based on lack of cart safety

Oh dear.  I see Union and Guild politics in the future *grin*.

you may well see parabolic unit paths when creatures are unfortunate enough to take flight without wings.

The possibilities... oh my, the possibilities are endless...

Tried sleeping on ice, sleep was interrupted by being encased in ice,

Anyway, as I said earlier, I see many, many !!wonderful!! trap opportunities with minecarts. And possibly !!minecarts!!

Will lever-controlled track switches be added?

Is the next release going to be subtitled Roller Coaster Tycoon?

Sure as hell will look like RCT in StoneSense
