And if you wait just a week or so longer a patch that (hopefully) fixes some of the major bugs with the current release will be released.

What was the last version you played?

You've got quite a lot of release note reading to do then... Or, alternatively, just treat it as a completely new game that has some vague similarities to what you remember. On the other hand, memory tends to get a bit fuzzy when a long time has passed.

And yes, there are Frankensteinian experiments in the game. If you need help understanding changes, feel free to ask specific questions about them (mentioning your as above baseline helps to know what your reference is).

Does this include that dang "caravans not leaving depots" glitch?

The Mantis Changelog might be more informative of this, and other things like mood rebalances.

Do not forget the basics... get a safe place for your dwarfs as soon as possible.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.
