Ok so Im just gonna say, I love this series of patches overall. Theres moor wood on every map than ever before. Food production is up. And dorfs can carry more than 1 plump helmet at a time.

I didnt realize when I read the devblog about the item carrying changes, just how drastic of a change it could be when it comes to saving time. Have a bit of an issue though. UristMcForgeworker seems to want to lug around stacks of iron bars.
I had been under the impression that carrying several items only applied to items going into containers. And well, I have no bins.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?


Also how does one do underground tree production? Have been going for 3 years since breaching the first cavern. And I have a nice underground muddied room, with 4z levels of opens space above it before ceiling. Do I need to make that taller for more height or what?

You only need 2 z-levels for trees to grow. Last I heard, the "-cap" trees give a fixed number of logs regardless of size, so there's no practical benefit from higher ceilings. The non-cap trees give more logs the taller they are, but I have no idea if you get more wood by letting trees grow to their full height or cutting them down as soon as they mature to make room for more.

A human caravan arrived recently. As I waited for them to arrive at the depot I busied myself with construction and coordinating an assault on those annoying giant keas. When I went back to the unit screen after some minutes to check their location I noticed everything but two of their horses had vanished.

Is this supposed to happen and its a feature I haven't noticed yet, or is it a bug?

EDIT: Checked the deceased unit screen and found a wagon, that may explain it. I'll comb the outskirts and see if I can find piles of items.

Even coming under attack can prompt traders to flee I believe, so even if you don't find any other bodies it's possible they just fled from the local wildlife.

Oh yes, and I dont recall a devblog of this, but can you now not grow aboveground plants inside of a building with a roof anymore?

Known bug. I had this happen just from the merchants seeing a corpse on their way in.

Still works on my fort, but then again I basically dig a ditch, make a farm or two, then cover it with a roof in order to conserve space.

What are exactly the benefits of burning off the fat, using magma mist?

Increased speed, heat resistance.

Why is everything in a roast minced? That's not a roast, that's a slurry.

[Arx]

Because literally everything has to be minced to be cooked. I think Toady plans to add more ways of cutting stuff in the future.

Can a channeled area directly beneath a retracting bridge contain horizontal grates or would they be smashed?

EDIT: Never mind. I've found that the constructions block each other.

One of my Dwarfs have this odd dream. Have you ever seen such a dream? And how do I fullfill that dream?

Are there cons for "updating" my soldiers this way?
If there is ‼SCIENCE‼ about this, please share it whit me.

What does that mean? Is magma mist a non-lethal solution to reduce corpulence?

[Arx]

If you're careful, you can melt the fat away without killing the dwarf using magma mist. In previous versions, this made the dwarf fireproof, but I don't know if that's still the case.
