The trusty stepladder, i am sure, will become one of the most valueable tools of an adventurer. Atleast to get out of pits and plucking fruit. How does a stepladder work though? Is it furniture? Is it a tool (like a bag or bucket)?

I feel that the last dev log fully answered this - they are tools that get carried around.

I decided to go with a stepladder tool. Dwarves can build them, carry them around and climb up on them to access an extra 3x3x2 block of potential fruit above their heads

You know, the sleeping army bug is probably holding up lots of post worldgen interactions, case in point, here's one which has had the army stuck sleeping at the departure point for almost FIVE MONTHS.

According to the questlog, it started Slate 20th, it's now Limestone 14th. I've checked, the army commander is there in the second tent to the east. I actually visited it months earlier and had to check legends on the location of the commander, then went to the site and there it was, just outside the forest retreat.

They're also all civillians for some reason, but that's probably a different bug.

Going to use fire to kill them so that I don't get the kills associated with me and see what happens next with the invasion.

Edit: Dang buggy army, they respawned again, although I didn't kill all of them the first time.

Edit2: They respawned again even after giving them a magma bath via DFhack.

Maybe this is why the invaders always win?

Maybe..... I did think of that too... Should we make it into a FotF question?

[Putnam]

He's already answered that, I'm pretty sure...

[therahedwig]

Uh, guys, invaders winning is a missing feature, not a bug.

Basically, the game doesn't calculate the full conflict yet, it doesn't look at anything either side is carrying, their tactics, their leaders, etc. It just goes 'army a attack site b, army a is now in control of that site'.

[Putnam]

Yeah, it's an intentional placeholder. Not sure where this "bug" meme came from.

[smjjames]

Yeah, it's an intentional placeholder. Not sure where this "bug" meme came from.

Maybe because there's a bug report on it?

Not as far as I know. The bug that you've linked to earlier describes a different possible bug that along with the placeholder of always winning causes a quick destruction of a civ, but it isn't the placeholder.

[Mr S]

Also because in DF:

Bug == (Feature - GameBreakThreshhold); +/- Coefficient of Suspension of Disbelief

Toady has been very quiet these last weeks...

[Knight Otu]

Him adding features tends to do that.

Once the stepladder is done, can wheelbarrows and minecarts get the same carrying capacity/stockpile moving treatment?

What do you mean by that? I get the wheelbarrows part, but I thought minecarts already have a carrying capacity treatment?
