Have you made a bug report?

[Libash_Thunderhead]

You can't brew watermelon wine. 

[Fleeting Frames]

Apparently frozen milk is valid solid food option for taming vermin:

Animal don't like their gelders. They will kick and scratch at them when they get the chance.

Animal don't like their gelders. They will kick and scratch at them when they get the chance.

I wonder if a high gelder skill helps to prevent that?

edit: Just had an idea what the gelder skill could possibly be good for.

This is a stray war elephant. He is muscular and fat. He has a grey skin and brown eyes. He has been masterfully gelded by Urist McNutjob.

[Staalo]

I want Gelding to be a moodable skill.

To keep it on topic, visitors with "...to enjoy themselves" in their description text seem to be villains with nearly 100% accuracy. Real visitors have something concrete listed there, like "...to perform" or "...to seek work." Might be just a coincidence in my current fort, though.

[Superdorf]

Hmm, that makes sense. I never really saw "...to enjoy themselves" before the Villains Arc came out, to be sure.

The rules for training swimming depend on body size. I've got a dwarf and grizzly bear man side by side in the same swimming pool. The dwarf is learning swimming at the normal rate. The grizzly bear man isn't learning at all.

Edit: Or maybe it's because he's a grizzly bear man. I've got the water up to fives and sixes, and he's still not learning.

[Ziusudra]

Yeah, animal people bug.

[Leonidas]

If you drop a lead cage into magma, it doesn't disintegrate. It turns into a blob of molten lead, which is apparently magma-safe.

It's not really magma-safe if it's already melted. I think the blob might disappear after a while, even though it's below boiling point. Seen it happen with copper, which has a higher boiling point than lead.

In adventure mode, your mount can give birth during a battle.

[NordicNooob]

Weapon skill negates the weight of weapons in the same way that armor user negates the weight of armor.

Another trivial finding: invaders that are melancholy will still take defensive action to protect themselves. This has compounded itself in a particularly !!FUN!! way in my current fort. A necromancer experiment that went melancholy was converted to a thrall zombie via cloud. Anything that engages it is both perpetually stuck in combat (it still gains skill from all that defensive action!) and is also turned into a thrall via combat with a thrall. It's currently sparring with a goblin (who was also thralled, and won't tire), both of which are quite skilled.

The perpetual combat seems to be enabled by the thralling feature. While technically the two thralls should be on the same side, for some reason they will finish up their current enemy before moving on to their duty as thralls. Plus it makes both sides untiring.

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

Thralls will indeed attack each other - they're still counted as alive. I had two muskoxen? I think it was? get thralled by the same cloud once, and they promptly began trying to kill each other. Note that this happened some time ago, in 0.44.12, so in my case this is no new thing.
