Is there a new release?

[TubaDragoness]

The emotion change release. I update slowly.

[StagnantSoul]

I spent forever setting up the entrance to my fort. Traps, spikes, soldier stations, ballistae behind fortifications. The works. Except, I placed the ballista backwards.

As I type this my siege engineers are decimating the tavern population.

[TD1]

Captain: Destroy the foreign scum befouling our fair fortress!
Ballistae workers [shrugging]: *Fire with great gusto*
Captain: ... In retrospect, I could perhaps have worded that order differently.

[spazyak]

I lost my fort, including a legendary axe dwarf, to a swarm of troglodytes that just kept coming.

[TD1]

The secret is to let them either live in the caverns or in cages, and not to kill them all in a bloody crusade of glory.

I'd periodically kill the subterranean hordes, but they only stopped coming when enough stumbled into traps.

[Rowanas]

I just finished my raw edits in time for the new release. |:p

I'm just musing on redownloading DF again (again, again, again), and I feel your pain. Remodding in my Crocodile Monitor Lizards, and pruning clothes, plants, minerals and gems after every update was what kept driving me off.

They have nothing to do with "joy and comedy" and everything to do with "pissing myself while curled into a terrified ball and/or running as fast as I can". 

You're going to have to explain to me how those are different, because that sounds like comedy from where I'm sitting.

On topic: I was having some difficulties with my walls being re-painted by legendary dwarf blood/limbs because I forgot what the captain of the guard does and also that jails are a thing that exists. That lasted a few years. I still haven't replaced the highly-skilled dwarves so they are very slowly carrying things to their jobs (dwarves prefer whichever rock/bone/log that is the absolute furthest from them, and I'm not good at burrows).

My experience has been that dwarves select the closest item in 3D space.  If you want dwarves to use the stockpile right next to their workshop, either have solid rock at least 2 levels above and below them, or ensure that the space is occupied by non-stockpile things.  Or, if you are fine with a 10 tile round trip, just put workshops between stairs and have the stockpile be either above or below the workshop.

Or just set the workshop to only take from a specific stockpile.

I keep forgetting that that is a thing.

[andrian]

Not exactly sure if this counts as a facepalm moment, but... I just got a message that one of my dwarves was too depressed to drink.

I sometimes always drink instead of drinking when i'm depressed.

Upgrading to 0.44.10 thinking this new memories and working stress would be fun, and then 3 months later having 55 / 102 dwarves locked up in the dungeon for insanity, including the duchess and 4 consequitive captains of the guard that all went insane after detaining all the dwarves that went insane over seeing goblin teeths.

I wasnt wrong about the fun..
