[Urist McDepravity]

You should probably report bugs in bug forum, so Today will notice them.

[MathijsBuster]

Just had a single ogre eradicate my entire fortress before the first season was up.
No, he wasn't a killing machine, my fortress starved to death wrestling him for most of the season with 6 dwarves and 6 dogs piled on his exhausted, unconscious bulk punching and biting with no apparent effect. It was like that time they tried to choke a zombie fox to death...

I had this in reverse. Two of my dwarfs were attacked by fishhead-men or the like, and though both dwarves quickly had just about EVERY limb in their body horribly mangled, the dwarves just wouldn't die.

The wound list in their status screen was huge, and because the fishheads kept kicking and stabbing them, even bodyparts I had never heard of (like floating ribs) were eventually in red. They kept surviving for a month to come though, before finally dying of dehydration. Shouldn't they bleed to death or die from general trauma or something? I just kept begging for them to feel the sweet relief of death.

EDIT:
Another bug I noticed:

I had explored part of a cave, but I couldn't reach it yet, with ocean in the way. Trying to dig my way towards it, the digging designations tiles that would connect to the non-accessible part of the cave would keep getting cancelled, stating: 'Digging designation cancelled: Urist Mcminer is unable to reach location'.

I know you are unable to reach it! That's why I want you to dig there from our side of the cave! Stop cancelling it and just proceed!

Does anybody know where to find the raws for demons? I have looked around and didn't notice them.

[Vermadus]

Hopped into generating your own world, and maaaan!
You can pick how many titans and demons you want, which i all pulled to the max (1000) and of course, z-level aboveground, wooo!

After also making my small world filled with terrifying and removing all titan requirements to wait to attack, I embarked with some biters and doctors and checked around.

250+ z-levels on a 4x4 and still 100 fps, imagine my surprise!
Of course, the first thing i did was dig downwards, and not a few minutes later, I hit a cavern! Sadly since this isn't merged i couldn't zoom out so I couldn't get a good overview, but damn!

The military screen is a bit confusing, so I couldn't draft my dwarves to fight the wandering skeleton carp and the titans.

I'll wait for the merge and some tilesets, and then have some more FUN.

Ya, the biggest problem I have come across so far is the military screen... Someone needs to write a tutorial on it or something since it is so hard to figure out.

[GoogleFrog]

First impression: Oh no I'm going to starve farms aren't working.

Then I was amazed at how deep it is. I dug through 3 caverns down to Z level 21 (from surface at 160) and hit semi-molten rock. This was a bit disappointing as the rock seems to have purpose other than get in the way. After a bit of exploration I discovered that by pure chance I had mined down the middle of a large column of rock in the middle of a magma sea .

I set up a burrow with booze, food and beds for my miners about 2/3 of the way down as they were wasting so much time walking up and down. Unfortunately the burrow didn't work as I could only define it to the edge of what I had already mined out. They would mine out 1 layer of rock then proceed to mooch around their booze stockpile waiting for me to tell them the newly discovered rock is part of their burrow.

The requirement to irrigate underground farms in Fort mode, however, is seriously limiting.  There should be at least SOME very low value plant/fungus that can be grown in non-irrigated conditions.

It's been said already and I'll say it again, this is a bug and will be fixed. You are supposed to be able to farm in soil without irrigating it.

[cephalo]

Wow, no more cooking of seeds! I guess that never really made sense anyway, making a whole meal from one cooked seed. I wonder if that change is related to the farming bug...

[Aklyon]

So can we conclude that slade will now make for the weapon of choice? I think we can!

After digging around a bit and finding a fair amount of FUN I'm wondering from somebody who managed to get a real fortress going strong, is there a lot of slade, or not much...

I found quite a bit of it, but its not letting me mine it out!

[Lemunde]

Possible bug:
"She is tough, but she is very weak" in one of my dorf's status screen.

I think I remember hearing Toady say something about this.  "Tough" I think actually describes physical constitution, as in they don't get hurt easily.  It doesn't have any direct relationship to strength.  I'm picturing an old dwarf lady who falls, doesn't break her hip, but still can't get back up.

[Rakonas]

My nearly legendary miner just died because he didn't want to path over 1/7 magma  . God damn 2 tile chamber of magma hidden in adamantite.. I'll never again mine adamantite with multiple miners.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit: Oh, Zon sure was the lucky one, dying peacefully surrounded by magma. His buddy Lokum that killed him may have been the most merciful idiot ever. He continued on through the adamantine, after all, adamantine was listed as his favorite metal. He thought there would be even more adamantine below, and he was right. There was more than just adamantine, however. He looked down, and couldn't see the bottom, though he knew there was magma somewhere down there, or at least, he thought that light was from magma. Unexpectedly, a most unspeakable beast emerged.. It had the form of a panda, but emaciated and with a long trunk for a nose, and composed entirely of flame. Behind it was a towering emaciated and trunk-bearing ass composed of salt.. His death was unspeakably gruesome. The last thing I saw was my jeweler casually drinking some rum oblivious to the demons pouring up and down the grand staircase after killing everyone.

And then the game crashed.

[SanDiego]

I broke into a huge cave.

There is an eyeless ogre there, scaring the shit out of my dwarves.

This is awesome.

[GenericOverusedName]

Holy fuck. I just found a ...

CAVE DRAGON. Fuck, it tore my shit up. I gotta stop racing to the underground unprepared, haha.

[Kidiri]

Holy crap! I just butchered a dog, and I got massive amounts of food: 13 fat, 13 meat, a brain, 2 lungs, a heart, a liver, intestines, tripe, sweetbread, spleen and 2 kidneys. all of the organs were prepared. This means I'll have 37 pieces of food from one single dog. And I also got 13 bones and nervous tissue to mess with. I have no idea what to do with the latter. But seriously, 37 pieces of food. From one dog! ONE DOG!

Was it an especially chubby dog? Hehe.

I guess dwarves just eat smaller portions. Most of their calories come from booze, anyhow...
