500 errors! Ermagerd my first ever DF new release! I can't wait to crash the game horribly in fort mode!

I don't care that I have to get up at 7:30 for work! New world's genning as I write this. We'll see what happens. I'm kind of afraid it'll be so glorious, yet so unplayable due to bugs... well, that'll be better for my sleep debt...

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

Just embarked in a nice site. I got a cave in deep underground on frame 1, and I see some deserted huts made of troll fur. Maybe they belonged to goblin bandits once? Looking good so far. I'm in a dense forest, and the new trees look great. They yield a ton of wood, too. I'll be interested to see how/if they regrow.

I just had it rain goblin blood.
I must be doing something right.

Trees change colour when they flower, meaning the map changes colour as the seasons progress. 

Trees shower the ground with fruit. 

I am having some powerful biology nerd feels about this.

(except I can't seem to harvest the fruit?  Anyone have any luck?  I want my limes!)

I am off with my merry band of heroes to slay an ancient wolf demon in his dread fortress.

because everyone here is OCD and ADHD, and then complain when their dwarfs act similarly in game.

I think this is explicitly something Toady is going to finish in a minor bug release, and soon.  He said it would be done before job priority stuff.

I did a regular embark on a heavily forested site with a brook adjacent to some pretty shear mountains. Everything looked pretty normal until some time passed and the map EXPLODED with cottongrass, garlic, rhubarb, lentils, chicory, spinach, all sorts of plantlife. Haven't figured out how to do anything with the cotton yet, but my dwarves will have a pretty diverse diet at least.

Excellent!  Thank you. :)

In the mean time, showering the ground with brightly coloured rotting fruit is making me pleased.

So it looks like all underground crops can be planted in all seasons which is nifty.
I'm having trouble remembering what I've forgotten and what's just new...

...Can anyone else plant Cave Wheat?  Because I can't.
My dwarves need their Cream of Cave Wheat.

Also, man is my frame rate already chugging.  Under 100 fps and I haven't even gotten any immigrants.

It seems like it'll be pretty cool once the first few bugfix releases are out.  Right now, though...  Well, I can't brew any of the new plant types and the game consistently crashes every single time I load my newly-started fort from its save file.

Mule fell directly onto a child, but no fun ensued.  Then the game hard crashed my mac, presumably out of retribution.
