In early winter, all the unharvested quarry bush, cave wheat and pig tail shrubs died, leaving "Dead Pig tails" and so on (grey : characters).  This includes shrubs in the caverns and also in what I am hoping will become my tree farm (but it's just got saplings right now).

However, a few days later, a live pig tail shrub appeared.

The human merchants have been stuck at my depot so long that their yaks have dropped calves.  Two calves, born to two different yak cows.  Both are listed as belonging to the merchants, on the units screen.

My dwarves have axes, but had them from the beginning, but they are all wrestlers now.

Yup, same here.  Mix of spears and axes, but now all three of my mil dwarves are Wrestlers.  My militia commander has her -steel spear- "Strapped to Upper Body", and is doing an Individual weapon drill.  Same for Endok with his axe, doing an Individual weapon drill with the axe Strapped to Upper Body.  Only Tulon has her spear in her hand.

Hmm, maybe it's because the dwarves climbed somewhere and had to put away their weapons and they never bothered to take the weapons back into their hands.

Naw, this is a problem even with adventure mode's auto attack, I've been dual wielding and my character will still feel its necessary to punch somebody in the arm.

My auto attack works fine until my weapon gets stuck. The auto attack used to twist the weapon around freeing the weapon if it got stuck but now it just starts punching and grabbing instead.

Interacial marrige is a thing now; an elf married a human.

Mother of god. It begins. BRACE YOURSELVES, THE HALF-ELVES ARE COMING!!

 Theres no reason to expect them to be capable of viable offspring..

Actually, if this works anything like .34, then yes, they can breed true. The only litmus on birthing a child when it comes to civilization members seems to be whether both parents are married to each other and both are of opposite gendered castes (that is, one has the [MALE] tag and the other the [FEMALE] tag). There are, of course, no half-breeds; only the female's gender apparently matters when it comes to offspring.

I ran into these results when I was testing some transformation curses I modded in. On an off-note, both kept on mating even long after one was transformed into a monstrous behemoth.

Been doing some experiments in advanced worldgen, turns out unless dwarves have an extra site (Hillocks), the first site (Fortress) is pretty much always destroyed/taken over by a forgotten beast, and that civ is lost.

Also, and this is far more disturbing on so many levels..

It would appear dwarven sites (Hillocks), that is, those created after civ generation, will not succeed without surface wood (plants? grass?) being present.

In particular, there will be zero dwarven sites created with a 9 rainfall / 100 drainage / no civ cap / no pop cap world, while there will be several hundred or thousand sites created with 10 rainfall / 100 drainage / no civ cap / no pop cap.

The difference?  Trees will be missing from the former, but present in the latter!
Clearly, the Elven "Wood First" Agenda appears to have affected 40.02.

Climbing idiots in worldgen forts can lead to brutal tantrum spirals.

I can't even drill a magma shaft because now when the dwarf sacrifice gets thirsty, instead of continuing to dig, he CLIMBS OUT OF THE SHAFT.  And then won't climb back down and resume.

Just put a hatch cover at the top and lock it. That should work. Or just toss cats at him while he's climbing up so he falls back down again.

I wonder if you smooth the top, if he will not try to get out, or go climb to below the smoothing and get stuck.

In fortress mode, tree regrowth of any kind still appears completely broken, as of 40.03.

If anyone has successfully seen a tree grow beyond a sapling, on an embark, in fortress mode, under any conditions in 40.03, please reply or PM me.

Worldgen is substantially less stable than in the prior versions before the big update.

I have tried 5 times to generate a large world with long history-- each time except this last one, (which had more conservative settings), the game simply either hangs when finalizing the world, or crashes during history generation.

[dennislp3]

Toady has said not to try that...it is not optimized or really ready for large/long worlds right now...so that's probably why

How do you know it's broken? It may be that trees take a realistic 10 or so years to grow now that they drop 40+ logs a piece

The fact that it seems absolutely no saplings grow beyond that stage and just die.

I can't get the world to generate in 40.03. every time I finish creating the world, the game crashes. It's severely reducing my enjoyment of the game.
