An excellent Christmas present. Thank you Toady.

[EinsteinSatDown]

A bloody xmas has come, for now the armies march within the world.

As blood is spilled in that which is randomly brought to life, we praise the toad.

...I just got a first year siege... NO! NEVER AGAIN!

What? Goblins?

Goblins shouldn't be able to siege the first year unless you have been embarking with a bajilion dwarves or have made enough -iron large serrated discs- to buy three whole caravans.

[StagnantSoul]

I embark with thirty through dfhack, and I've beem making dolomite crafts and blocks. That may explain it.

Thanks for the great updates, and happy holidays Bay12!  Perhaps the extended grace period at the start of my fortress is going to be over with a vengeance now....

[stool]

Thanks Toady!

Other bug fixes/tweaks
   (*) Stopped situation where channeling dwarf decides to stand on channel tile

<3 happy holidays, happy new year!

I heard something about checksums that don't require mods to be patched with 0.40.2X patches. Is that correct and is that why the Starter Pack has not been updated to 0.40.20?

[smjjames]

No, it's because Peridexis is waiting for DFhack to catch up.

As for the checksums thing, you might be thinking about DT.

[deepfield]

No, it's because Peridexis is waiting for DFhack to catch up.

And DFhack is waiting for df-structures to update  ah the joys of dependency!

[smjjames]

I thought df-structures was a part of DFhack though?

I'm pretty late in saying this, but I thought it worth mentioning anyway...you really need a mason to build a stone wall. It would make more sense if carving the blocks was non-job, even. Setting stones such that they'll stand is very complicated. There's a reason they had such a powerful guild, you know?

The concept of "skilled dwarven masonry" does much to ease my suspension of disbelief when I build eighty meter perfectly straight freestanding bridges.

[StagnantSoul]

Since when could you make bridges span two thirds of the map?

Sorry, I didn't mean a brid(g)e, just a "bridge" of floor tiles.

[Buttery_Mess]

I've only been playing for a bit, but so far this seems like the best release ever.

Two thumbs up, Toadster.

Masons should have to build stone buildings. Novice masons should have a chance to fail and cause !!fun!!.

Neither disbelief nor the 80 metre bridge should be suspended. They should both come crashing down. Cave-ins, building, stress and strain all need a big rework...in DF2016. No need for Toady to feel much pressure, unlike the bridge.
