I was really missing 'clean all' after my first goblin siege, and the following bout of cave adaptation sickness from the clean-up & scavaging crews. Blood and vomit EVERYWHERE.

Also missing being able to do something about all the darn boulders all over my nicely smoothed and engraved rooms and halls.

Is this biome reanimating? I really don't want to know what happens when "absurd numbers of megabeasts" is combined with "reanimating biomes".

There's a solution to that. It's called d->b->d.

The only thing I really miss is ownership cleaning from dfhack.

Whenever i read the "doesn't care about anything anymore" line, i instantly imagine a dwarf, sitting alone on a swing set. Just slowly rocking back and forth, somberly staring at the ground, and stopping every once in a while to sigh.
It's mildly depressing.

Somewhat obnoxious having to do with the native UI for working with jobs instead of Dwarf Therapist. Also not knowing the map layout due to no dfhack.

Also stuff due to vanilla DF having weird tile dimensions, i usually make 4x3 width corridors because the tiles *are not square*.

Otherwise it's just fine. Really I adapted quickly to vanilla DF.

it was quite annoying to assign jobs to 100 dwarves but i literally got 30 children migrants and another 50 fully useless ones so you know business as usual.
I really missed the drag wall building, and not fully squared tiles are abit annoying, and also all those extra search options that i didnt realize i relied on.
ASCII wasnt as big of a problem as i first thought. it seems abit slower for some reason though.

I am shamelessly spoiled; I need my tilesets & DFHack utilities like Workflow.  Although, discussion of DF's interface always reminds of this;

The thing that allows you to press u-l and change or check everyone's labors is sorely missed.  Not sure if it's the same as dwarf therapist.  I really wish I could quickly assess which of my dwarves are good at performing or scholaring.

DFHack enhancing u-l is similar to DT, however, I find DT easier to use for most things. My main usage of u-l has been to check stress at a glance.

Thank you good sir! I can finally get rid of that filthy 50 pop cap.
