Is it normal to have hundreds of rejects when generating a world with the "SMALL REGION" template?  Even with no modified settings at all (except end year), I get hundreds of rejects.  I got 259 of them in my most recent world, with only slight bumps to titans and civilizations.  It's not breaking (as far as I can see), but it's worrying me.

If I recall correctly, there are a few default parameters that lead to an unusually high amount of rejects.

Yes, higher monsters and more people leads to lots of rejects, from my experience.

My hundreds of rejects are occurring long before it starts placing monsters or civilizations, though.  They're happening very early -- I usually can't even see what's happening before I've already got 100 rejects (fraction of a second).

DF gens a random map.  So wildly unpredictable that something fails.  Not always the same thing, or else you would start to see the error-prompt 'woldgeneration is having trouble placing enough mountains' (or forests, glaciers, tundra, desert, whatever the case is)

Its normal enough

I've been holding off on the new version until it's more stable and a few tools are available for it.

Anyways, just curious how the new job priority system works.  I'm still on 34.11 and so far the best I can do with job priorities is use autolabor to assign hauling to my non burrow dwarf's.  The rest are pre-nicknamed, and assigned to a burrow so I can ensure they never do hauling.

Here's some discussion on it

but I read (I believe in a post last month) that it was going to be in this release.

[Telgin]

I don't think Toady has made any visible changes to job priorities yet.  He mentioned that he did some of the groundwork that will make that possible soon, but it's not ready yet.  Coming in a minor release soon (after more serious bugs and crashes have been fixed).

multilvl trees exist only on the surface? or is there multilvl giant mushrooms?, how about evil/holy biome trees, are they multilvl too? i've never been in an evil/holy biome so i can only speculate, and well, caverns in 34.11

[sal880612m]

Caverns do have multi-tile trees and such. I would assume that this affects all trees but I haven't checked in good/evil biomes.

Newest version, apparently if I lay down stone fall traps in front of the trade depot there is no valid path to the trade depot?

Since when did traps block caravans?

Since DF2012.  Just leave a 3 wide path somewhere.  Make the wagons go around

[Deboche]

anyone know if I wanna make an underground tree farm do I have to clear the levels above the trees? I was experimenting with that in my latest but got a tantrum spiral before coming to conclusions

Huh, knew I hadn't played in a long time but didn't think it had been that long.

I have seen multi-level glumprongs.

how do I war train animals.  I used to do it from the stocks screen, z - animals, then w for train.

But I get spammed saying no animals to train and I got all my dogs in a zone.

It is still supposed to work like that, but currently it's bugged.
