That 64 bit test will that be a public release?

When might my dwarf military be able to wear more then one sock?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

...In this release? He _did_ say he fixed something with equipment...

[TBeholder]

   (*) Made training marksdwarves want both combat and training ammunition and fetch stacks appropriately (thanks to ag for analyzing this one)
   (*) Made edible seed-type growths gatherable

And there was much rejoicing!

That was just a new problem from 42.01 and not the more long standing one.

Thank you for your dedication at improving the game Toady, great work !

[waveclaw]

Thank you, Toady, for all this wonderful work.

Generated a new large world, Anenu Mare, "The Planet of Soul" currently enjoying it's 341st year in the Age of Myth. 

The evolution of long-lived worlds is quite dynamic in this version now that they don't suffer infant mortality. Every year cities are rising up, falling down and ruins pockmarking the sea of elven outposts.

I have rebuilt my custom Linux package of vanilla if someone wants to try them:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have uploaded the F/OSS licensed packaging materials (Dwarf Fortress not included) for others to use on GitHub: https://github.com/waveclaw/dwarffortress-packaging

This should be an improvement over the gists referenced elsewhere in the forums.

The RPMs are tested on RedHat/Fedora, SuSE and Mageia.
 
I have not built Debian/Ubuntu/Kbuntu Linux packages in years so those parts do not work.  Great Seal of Unapproval(tm) and all that.  Better luck would be to use alien to convert the RPM.

Any issues with the packaging stuff is my fault and should not be reported to Bay12games or Toady.

If it does burn your house down or give you !!!dwarves!!!, please send picks.  And anvils.

 I wonder if might be possible in this release to walk into a retired fortress as an adventurer and read ones way to a free medical license?

Time to get some probing literature piled up.

Indeed, there is nothing that makes me laugh quite like watching those goblins jump to their death.

He he, yeah, I was like, "how are we going to be sure the leader will die in the trap?"  And then I saw the 10 adamantine weapons in the trap.  Then I was like, "but what if they live through the fall if they dodge?"  Then I saw the giant magma pool.

Vjek is god of traps. Had the privilege to examine one of his saves once (can't remember why exactly, something to do with TinyPirate's book I think). Brutal efficiency to the point of awe-inspiring beauty. Only way to describe it.

thank you again from Italy for this new release!

One question, the major bug to the bins is fixed?

more than a "boost". if the dwarves don't have anywhere to pray, socialize/party, or read then they start to develop negative thoughts which can lead to tantrums when combined with other stressors. Definitely a necessity...the library/tavern/temple combo has essentially replaced "idle" time and dwarves will prefer to do those things instead of just stand around idle.

Values are simply ideas that dwarves have...IE believing hard work is good or prefering peace over war.

Books can be written on topics and those include values. When a dwarf reads a book about values they will start to take on the values of the books...IE a book about working hard will make dwarves value hard work more.

The rate these values transfer or the chance that they even do is not something I know...I imagine there will needs to be extensive amounts of science done on the topic before we have solid answer

mmmh, I see, so we have more stuff to manage for useless dorfs. FUN!

As dennislp3 says, the new locations are essential to fulfilling your dwarves' inner needs.  You can probably do without a library (unless Science indicates otherwise), but a temple and a tavern are both pretty critical.  A significant number of your dwarves will worship a deity, and will need a place to pray, or they will start to become upset.  I'm not as clear on how the tavern works, but it allows performance art (music, dance, poetry recitals) that definitely improves moods.

The library allows you to produce and copy written works, if you want to pursue that.

is it ok to build one temple for all the deities? or different deities require personal temples?

thanks to both of you for the explanations

[PFunk]

This was the version I was waiting for before jumping in.

Many thanks.

[Grax]

(*) Stopped cats from dying of alcohol poisoning after walking over damp tavern floors and cleaning themselves (reduced effect)

That's amazing.

Yes, you can build polytheistic temples, choose the "No Specific Deity" option when you create the location. It will do less for dorf happiness, but it's less work than making multiple single-deity temples, I guess. I've always just gone the hard route though.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Is it verified that a non-specific temple is worse than a bunch of specific temples?

[greycat]

One question, the major bug to the bins is fixed?

Which "bug" is that?  Are you talking about the hauling behavior from 0.34 to early 0.40, where dwarves would take a bin out of the stockpile, carry it to a spot where there were multiple pieces of clothing, put the clothing in the bin, drop the bin, then queue up another job to return the bin to the stockpile?

If so, that was never a bug per se.  It was just how dwarves hauled in those versions.

If that's what you're asking about, then you should be aware that yes, their hauling behavior has changed.  This change started somewhere in the mid 0.40 releases.  Dwarves can haul more than one thing at a time now.  I've seen a dwarf pick up two pieces of clothing from two different tiles and carry them both ("Hauled") at the same time, without having to pick up a bin or other container.

So... is that a "yes" to your question?  Probably.

[xordae]

About 12 hours into a fortress. No crashes so far. No thieves or snatchers, but my first siege of 10 about ~3 years into the fort.

This seems very playable, well done Toady.

[malvado]

Thanks a lot Toady!
Going to enjoy this release a lot it seems
