In my very latest world gen (I restart a lot), it seems like an thousand year old female Ettin roams the land and claims all the artifacts she can get her hands on. They all seem to be her family heirlooms now.
She haven't claimed all existing artifacts.. Yet.

The stocks screen in fortress mode is in alphabetical order now, unless that was an option somewhere that I never saw before

Toady listed that as one of the features of this release. Alphabetical stocks.

this is gonna be fun.

tart at year 2, claim ALL THE ARTIFACTS. all the necro books. all the slabs.

Damn it, this is added to my wanting to do a "capture all the Forgotten Beasts" challenge for myself.

[wierd]

I have been giving serious thought to the "Capture *ALL* original books" agenda, a-la historical Alexandria. Might be fun.

Did silver crafts always come two to a bar, or did it used to be three? Because I just used a couple bars and only got four crafts out of them.

[Pancakes]

If I'm not mistaken, craft making can produce 1-3 objects from 1 reagent

[Urist McVoyager]

Oh good. So there's a chance for three.

It wants a glass window. Display cases are a glass window and a wooden log, while you can also build pedestals with only a single log.

Yes, but which workshop has the option to actually build the pedestal.  I can't see, to find it.

Carpenter.

Just for fun, I loaded Archcrystal into 44.02. Runs fine so far. I've even sent a squad out to retrieve a necromancer book from the tower to the northwest and bring it back to my library.

Did display cases and pedestals show up in Archcrystal? If not, it likely needs the same whack to the head that bookcases required. I'm not hugely inclined to work on DFHack porting, but I'm lurking in channel. As soon as we find the world struct and get a pre-alpha build, I can probably get THOSE working too. Course I'd need a narrative reason to justify Id's return

Well then I may very well have a bug.  Because on a brand new worldgen for .44, it's not showing up under carpenter.  Display Case does, but not pedestal.

[FantasticDorf]

Try the crafts shop under woodcrafting, it could be there as thats a alternative place to get furniture.

[Urist McVoyager]

I think it should be under the carpenter. I have to pass it every time I make a wheelbarrow.

I only tested it out briefly in 44.02 just to see some of the new features. I'm playing it on 43.05 until 44 is a bit further down the iteration line. But here's what I noticed what was missing:

-Yeah no Pedestals or Display cases
-No option for a museum location
-You can send squads out to go retrieve artifacts, but they will just come back a day after leaving the map because there are no taverns in the world for them to seek out rumours, (because the world was built in 40.24)

I'll wait until a later version to try again and then give you the save to fool around with.

On the plus side, we started off the day by killing hundreds of elves, so there's that.

[Urist McVoyager]

I did notice the lack of museums when adding a tavern to my first fort's dining hall, but I figured that might have been related to zoning and rooms and only be available to certain room types. I do have the option for pedestals and display cases but haven't done anything with them because I have yet to last long enough for an artifact in the first place.
