Holy Paradigm Shift Batman!

fix'd that 4 u... >.<

[GenericOverusedName]

Pro tip, I've discovered that selecting the up/down staircase designation, and clicking where you want it while holding down the < key, is the easiest way to do long staircases.

Wait, he fixed that? It used to only do designations at the level you are at when you click, not in between levels. If it does things between levels now... *drools*

gems and ore everywhere.  I no longer bring a stonecrafter with my seven starting dwarves, it's all metalcrafting and gem cutting from here on out.

Also, found my magma a whopping 130 z-levels down.  I'm not entirely sure how to harness this, with a massive cavern network between the magma and my fortress (which rests at z-levels 4 through 14 or so).

Obviously with a lot of pumps

Abandon the surface. Screw sunlight. Armok calls you deeper!

Are there underground civilizations? Please tell me there's underground civilizations. It would be so epic to have an underground civilization that trades with you or sieges you.

So far I've run across an Antman civ, that seems to consist of 2 Queens and some warriors, and a drone. I plan to kill them all as soon as I get enough dwarves to support a decent military. CLEANSE THE DEPTHS.

Yes, well sort of.
Went decided reckless with my first game before reality sets in (dammit, the need to sleep!).
Charge all the way down, forgot where I found the cavern (20+ level down thou).  Saw a large cavern, and my brain just exploded.  Then my seven dwarf promptly got murdered by a group of antmen.
I'm going to stay away for a while until I settle down.

I am utterly in shock at the awesomeness that lurks underground. Gods, I can't wait for the first version of working Reveal... the Dwarves are utterly doomed. Truly, the depths are a place of strange wonders...

I was chuckling to myself how this new release is like the old 2D mode playstyle challenges inverted on the vertical plane into 3D mode.

Oh man, I peaked at my current fort with that tool (after making a copy to avoid save data corruption).  That thing really makes you appreciate how absurdly common the new mineral veins are...

Don't need the justdigitout program, there's a file in the init folder called 'Announcements'.
Inside you can change the settings for all announcements. If you want, you can make it so you -never- get paused or recentered for -anything-

I already changed mine so there's no pause or recenter on hot/wet cancels.

Minerals sure are common. My first and current fort, on a hastily chosen mountainside, is merely a hall and a 1-tile shaft going down into the depths. I can see hematite poking out of the mountain everywhere, and my solitary shaft revealed rich deposits of gold, copper, flux and even more iron.
This may be a good idea, because it means we can now spend less time genning the perfect plot of land and more time building awesome forts.

This. Things like neighboring civilizations and interesting landforms are now more important than avoiding the boredom of capping off at stone goods.
