•Made weather init option clear up weather properly instead of just turning off the global simulation

Does this mean I can no longer play Dwarves in Washington State? 8^(

True story: I once tried to turn an entire 2x2 embark into a giant rain funnel. Only having so many murky pools at the top to make the rain turn into actual water kinda made it anticlimactic. I'd love to try again if/when sufficiently torrential downpours could put a bit of water on any surface, and see what happens.

Surely there are some embarks that are rainy all the time, right? I don't know how the global weather simulation works...

i don't get this joke

i live in washington state

it's almost a desert here, excepting the occasional basement-flooding downpour

So, the eastern half?

more like 3/4, heh

Isn't it more the Seattle area that is very rainy?

Not to do a shameless plug, but could you check out the repeatable town crashes* and the midmap error crash? For the midmap error one, it crashes so reliably for me that I try to generate worlds which don't have civilization sites on the right edge so that I can avoid it.

*Theres several different example saves in there, no idea if they all have the same cause and the third one is wierd in that the inhabitants react as if I'm hostile, or it's a goblin site, unrelated to the crash though.

If being a shameless plug like that is frowned upon for this thread, I'll remove the post.

Oh great Toady, maker of the universe! When do you plan to separate the loading time for ranged attacks, as for example crossbows firing slower than bows, and lend us the values for modding, like for example a repeating crossbow and such? It's in the plans?

[Dirst]

LordBaal, we have a Suggestions forum for that kind of thing.  Toady does read it.

[LordBaal]

I know, but he already touched that for this release and said he'll come back latter, I was asking about it and if he's thinking about that for the next release.

What is the significance of the colors on the new thought screen? For example, arousal from talking to spouses, and fondness from talking to friends are cyan, while satisfaction from work and bliss from sleep are both green. What's similar about the cyan emotions? What's different between the green emotions and the cyan emotions?

Also is there any difference, in terms of dwarf happiness or behavior, between the many different positive emotions? Will dwarves who are aroused by there spouses behave differently from dwarves who are feeling fond of their friends? What about dwarves who are "interested" by fine furniture rather than feeling pleasure from it?

Just marked fixed on the tracker: 0006854: Pulped body parts don't get severed arteries or functional impairment

Probably means a lot more lethality for blunt weapons.

In a similar line of questions, what emotion is behind the 'stumbles around obliviously' (which happens to be a fast blinking light cyan exclaimation mark)? I thought maybe it was like the 'thousand mile stare' or something, but I'm probably wrong.

Also, might be helpful for companions to state why they were feeling depressed or 'stumbling around obliviously' and I've had insane/melancholy companions state they were fine when obviously they aren't.

You've never had someone visibly upset just say they are "fine"?

This leaves an opening for social skills to reveal the person's actual emotional state.

Urist McLonely: "I am fine." But his expression betrays that he is sad.

Heh yeah that's a good one that goes on the pile of hilarious bugs I never even encountered or heard about before.   

Increased default embark points to compensate for more default equipment (stepladder etc.)

I can understand this from a reasonable-game POV but I never really understood the notion of adding crutches and whatnot to the standard embark.  Do the dwarves seriously expect to get crippled before the carpenter's workshop is up and running?  (Could be craftsdwarfs wkshop, am inebriated)  In the same vein, do they really need to get those high-hanging mangoes a few weeks earlier?
