Congrats on the new release meph. I might get back into Dwarf Fortress. Just to know, are the invasions back in?

There are invasions,  but I cant force them like I did in older versions... so yeah, there should be quite a few more than in vanilla, but not as many as in df.34.11

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how enemies keep getting into my fortress. Can hostiles path through warpstone or something? This is starting to get real annoying.

Actually, if you didn't build high enough walls, or floor walls to stop enemies from getting inside, they can climb over them and get inside of your supposedly secure Fort. They may also get in through an unprotected water route, or even fly over if they have the means to do so.

I recall reading, also, that under very rare conditions enemies can spawn inside entirely closed-in structures (for example, spawning within a roofed room near the map edge). But if it was ever submitted to mantis, I am unable to find it, so not sure if it's been fixed.

Thanks for the tips, guys! I've already checked for open water-gates and so forth. Can enemies climb up diagonally? Like, viewing from the side, where X are walls, _ is empty space inside the fort, and Y is an angry troll outside:

Up
_X
XY   Side
Down
Can the troll Y climb the wall X up diagonally into the empty _ space above him?

If so, that was my problem. I haven't had any surprise visits since I fixed that in the caverns.

Hey all,

I've been having irregular crashes for about a week, but I was getting around them by saving often. However, I'm now unable to load any of my saves, due to the same crash error:
*** Error(s) found in the file "data/save/region1/raw/objects/creature_random_myth_beast_standard_mdf.txt"
SEAL_ANIMAL_WEEVIL BP Add Type GELDABLE Was Not Used

I would be willing to chalk it up to !!fun!!, but this is my oldest and most advanced fort. I'd like to continue if possible.
Does anyone know of a fix?

I have also been having very regular crashes with the latest version. I crashed during World generation, Crashed on embark, twice, Seasonal Autosaves work, but I have to tab out and back into the game to unfreeze it, and attempting manual save results in immediate Crash to Desktop. Error log was strangely empty, just "undefined plant material set to default: AGED_MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP AGED_MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP" but that shouldn't be related to the crashes. DFhack closes itself when the game crashes before i can examine it.

Is it based on 43.05? Or should we wait for the next one for 64-bit masterwork?

[Putnam]

Masterwork relies on DFHack. Masterwork can only update to the version DFHack is updated to.

Meph a question:
Do you plan to bring back hermit altars maybe?

Not that I need them so badly, it's just that corpses cannot be butchered right now due to the bug - however after they are reanimated they can.
Black Monoliths might be very useful right now

I remember reading that something like this can happen, but I'm not sure if it's your specific situation that has the vulnerability or something else. It does seem likely, though. It may be advisable to put a wall in the _ space.

My job manager keeps adding jobs for 3-5 wooden minecarts on its own. I'll go in and cancel them, but they constantly get re-added. I'm not adding them! Any ideas what's going on?

Sid you remember to go to the P menu and cancel the job there?

I have hit the oddest of errors... I'm getting this unusual spam:  Manager Cancels Update Stockpile Records: need office.

He's assigned a chair, he's not assigned to a burrow that doesn't include the chair.  I've never had this issue ever.... and I'm getting thousands of this cancel report.  in the (N)obles screen he's shown to not require anything....  I've disabled everything that might have a joint zone with the chair and am at a loss..  I even changed chairs,deconstructed and reconstructed the chair, etc.  the spam continues.

[Amostubal]

disregard that..... apparently a locked hatch had the manager locked in a mineshaft.... I feel like a complete idiot... don't even remember locking the hatch....

I do not have a P menu. p brings up the stockpile menu. There is no option to cancel jobs from the stockpile menu.

If you want to cancel a manager order, go to the workshop where the order is being carried out, hit shift p and use the r key to remove the work order from the workshop.
