Foorkerchief has unlocked an achievement!

Indeed, he spends a lot of time on quoting Toady -> Toady spends less time with answering the ~same questions over and over. 
Oh and Pruvan..as I see you are a WoW player....

Haha, thanks.  Let me know when I unlock a minigun or something.

Yeah I'm not sure why you thought WoW. Unless they started ripping off the achievements thing as well, just like pretty much all games these days.

[Neonivek]

Whoa....sorry for going OT, but yeah...there is an achievement system in WoW. [WotLK feature] Take a look at this screenie for example:

Anyways, let's get back on-topic.

Out of curiosity I've been searching Wolfram|Alpha for information on the physical properties of some of the stone encountered in Dwarf Fortress.  Some of the information, such as that for marble, is fairly extensive and possibly useful, but I'm not much of a materials scientist myself so knowing what the mechanical properties mean is somewhat beyond me.

At any rate, the site may be a good resource for filling in the numbers for the more esoteric materials for someone who knows what they are doing.

[Great Cthulhu]

Great suggestion Neverlight. In theory this should be straight up Wolfram's alley.

Follow-up on a Q/A from a while back:

Toady, are the new material properties going to effect people punching/kicking with metal gauntlets/boots?

I don't think they do, but I might be wrong, because I remember making a code comment about it.  I've put in an additional note to check.  Can't promise anything.

Is the material of the body part (if not the clothing/armor) taken into account, at least?  There was a discussion about metal colossuses in another thread, which made me wonder about the differences between a punch from a bronze colossus and one from a hypothetical adamantine colossus with the same size and strength.

BTW, Toady, what is current countdown?

It was whopping 828 4 months ago (01/19/02 to be correct)

The countdown doesn't exist anymore.  From the original post of this thread:

Although I like to watch the Countdown decrease, it has ceased to be a motivator for me and has even been a hindrance at times.  Instead, here is the list of remaining items for the next release.  I'll be coloring/modifying this post as work progresses.  The list is more or less fixed, though there might be minor changes, omissions and additions as I go along.

Keep in mind that this is the list of remaining items as of the original posting, not the total list of changes for the next version.

[Neonivek]

Well I did a count

Out of 177 items

72 are finished

105 are unfinished.
