A troubled boy. I'm kind of afraid of his next plan.

Scamps, pet cat has toppled a computer!
Toady One, Developer has lost a masterpeice!
Toady One, Developer is throwing a tantrum!
Three Toe has been struck down!

 

And then DF fans EVERYWHERE. STOP. EVERYTHING.

And then the end of the world.

Scamps is definitely a Time Agent from the future. He was sent back in time to stop Dwarf Fortress before it is too late.

[Nivim]

 In which the dev-log update topples the train instead of righting it. Anyway, in response to the worried speculation will the same world gen seeds still result in the exact same world, or will there a be more random factors with the new features?

If a magmaman falls into a lake do they turn into obsidian golems?

They sure better, because that would be AWESOME.

But what happens to the lake? Does it turn to steam? Could you use a magma man to completely dry up a lake?

The engineering possibilities are endless! With enough friendly magma men you could temporarily dry out a patch of ocean or major river! Dam-building becomes incredibly easy! (Well, I suppose taming enough magma men might be difficult.)

That reminds me, I've been wondering how the new butchery system would handle non-fleshy creatures. If you take the ITEMCORPSE tag off, say, an iron man, and butcher it, will you get:

1. Usable iron
2. Iron in some form you can't use
3. "Iron man meat"
4. Iron man chunks (the current result), or
5. Nothing?

Clearly, butchering an iron man should yield iron blocks, mechanisms, human meat, and a random alcohol.

What's that refering to? I think I've heard it before, but I can't quite get it... damn.

I think it may be a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference.

This, perhaps?

Rather a reference to Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr. who plays Ironman in the movie of the same name.

Oh that Ironman, didn't think of that at that moment.

Dwarf Fortress.
Where the most important logistic to building the world biggest dam is figuring out how to tame a couple humanoids composed of magma.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think all you need is a steady supply of magmamen, a noble, a reliable lever-puller, and a (magma-safe) bridgeapult.

Scamps, pet cat has toppled a computer!

Toady One, Developer is throwing a tantrum!
Three Toe has been struck down!

 

Just for curiosity, does Toady use any external version-control to secure the source?

And how difficult would it be to hack?

Do you think somebody else would understand the whole code to write alternative game?
