It's a good thing I already mostly use ramps in my forts.

Now the real question is, will we have minecart Loopty-loops?

[Rose]

No, that's sanic.

[JoshuaFH]

No, that's sanic.

Sanic?

All I want is to set up an automatic camera to take my dwarve's pictures as they coast by at high speed. Then I realized that that technology is just not possible given the setting, and so I'll resolve to make the next best thing, that being to spray my dwarves with freezing water and then immediately stop the minecart ride in a below freezing area.

That way, the excited and giddy expression on their faces as they enjoy their first rollercoaster will be preserved forever.

[MrWiggles]

Waaaiit a second... I feel a compatibility break... This is a very significant change. And next, changing how mining itself works....

This feels like 0.37, just saying :p

Or leading into it, at least. Fundamental thing, mining...

Toady seem to be treating this as part of the bug fixing cycle. Other things we're going to be getting during this cycle is different reaction to being on fire, cleaning job changes and how contaminants are spread.

[Rose]

No, that's sanic.

Sanic?

Spoiler: Sanic (click to show/hide)

[Trif]

Oh wow, think of all the possibilities! I think I'll make an execution ride!
First 20 nauseating spirals downwards, then a quick dip in the magma river and finally a nice slam into a wall at maximum speed. Let's see which charred goblin corpse lands closest to the refuse stockpile!

[Loud Whispers]

Toadyone you sexy amphibian you!

[SRD]

Load whispererererseseesss you... shapeshifting motherfucker. PICK A DAMN PICTURE AND STICK WITH IT.

[Lexx]

Finally an efficient way to mass transport cut trees and quarried stone.

These bugfixing sprees have been amazing.

[Loud Whispers]

Load whispererererseseesss you... shapeshifting motherfucker. PICK A DAMN PICTURE AND STICK WITH IT.

When minecarts fly._{*crossed fingers*}

And they will.

Trust me on this one.

[SRD]

hm, so like [     ]  <- wood pile (outside near trees)
               [     ]
                 +
                 +
                 +
                 +
                 +
              [      ]  <- Wood pile (inside)
              [      ]

only problem is that it's making a permanent (maybe not) hole into the fortress, unless you can put doors over the tracks or floodgates or perhaps make tracks go over bridges.


And IF THEY DON'T FLY I'LL FUCKING MAKE THEM.. NOW PICK A PICTURE.

[Loud Whispers]

I think we could solve the obvious defence issues with sky-rails, airlocks and marksdwarfs. Easy solution!

And I pick Carp.

[SRD]

But what about flying critters that can fly into the sky-rails, and what if you airlocked the tracks and the cart was still going? CRASH KABOOM WANG TANG BADABOOM FALING


CRAKANGGGGGG HNGGG BANG!

TONGTING SWOOSH POW.!~!

-woops-

AND SET IT AS CARP THEN.

[Sheb]

Easy, you just need a storage ring to divert the cart while your fortress is closed.

Now, I want a lot of tracks criss-crossing the landscape in front of my fortress. And then see the goblins trying to get through.
