Ahh, sorry!

[argh226]

In other words, I'd like to have 100 dwarfs with decent mine without crawling down to a 30 fps and 9-10 when being invaded by a medium force.

I tried to plat the plain version of DF (64bits) and without therapist its quickly becoming a hell to manage.  I dont see myself doing this manually with 100 dwarfs either, my hat to those you can make it!

Also memory cap will be a thing of the past...

Holy crap it's been ~2 years. Anything major happened?

Yep - lots more world activation, adventure mode goodies, taverns and libraries and fortress visitors, and 64bit DF (DFHack and pack pending for that last one).  I'd suggest checking the changelog on the wiki, then jumping back in

You know that saves as far back as 40.03 can be moved to the current version?

I don't move to a new version of the game unless generating a new world. I've always been told that if you want most of the cool new features and bug fixes of the latest version, you need to generate a new world anyway. I'm not really sure what all would be the advantages of moving a save file to a newer version. With the latest 64-bit version of Dwarf Fortress, transferring a save might possibly give a performance boost, but I've heard weapon traps and siege weapons crash the game in v0.43.04+. So, if you're still using an old version, and you like weapon traps, you might consider downloading the current 0.43.03 version of the Starter Pack to keep available before it updates, just in case.

Around v0.42.04 a bunch of new creatures were added to the game. In 0.43.01 Adventure Mode players got the ability to create accelerated-time-travel sites/settlements and build bridges. Then v0.43.02 removed the accelerated-time-travel feature of Adventurer-created sites. DF v0.43.04 added weapon durability. Gorlaks can open doors now.

Most new features don't work on old saves (some do), but almost all bugfixes will work!

[Goatmaan]

I don't need the new stuff. 40.19 r2 has been rock solid for me.

I'd just like to know why Therapist quit tracking migrants 25 years in.
It did fine till 1098 then nothing. Its now 1112.
Sort by migrant wave just stops at 1098.
No biggie I just sort by age.

When Anvillocked reaches it's goal, then I'll upgrade. 

[jecowa]

Are you still using Dwarf Therapist v31? You might try upgrading to Dwarf Therapist v32 to see if that helps.

[Goatmaan]

Therapist is 30.0.0.
Wish I'd known when I got LAA.
I have no net access at home so I have to get my downloads from the library.
Just another hoop to jump thru.
I'll give it a try when I can, Thanks for the tip!

There's a dead link in the OP and the DFFD page. - lazynewbpack.com
You might consider changing it to this: dwarffortresswiki.org/Lazy_Newb_Pack

Thanks - it was working last week, but I guess Beautato let it lapse or something.  Back to the wiki!

[jecowa]

According to the who is it expired about three days ago.

[Jerry The Hellbound]

Would i just be able to download the 43.05 version from vanilla and paste it into the extracted LNP Dwarf Fortress folder?

[lethosor]

No. Some utilities will not work with 0.43.05.
