Any insight would be most welcome.

The blob is clearly friendly.  It even helped defend your fortress!  Go send a dwarf over there and try to communicate.

Currently playing the very latest version, .06. Military dwarves are idling when I set them to train -- they stand there waiting for orders from the leader. Any workaround/ why are they doing this?

I bought windows 7, set everything up and now when I try to play DF I get horrible FPS, they jump around from 20 to 52 constantly and I just dont know whats wrong here.
Does anyone have any tips for me?

So, I have the latest version from the website, df_31_06_legacy. The DF wiki provides links for both df_31_06 and df_31_06_legacy. This may be a frequently asked question, but what's the difference between the legacy and non-legacy versions?

[Kidiri]

Legacy version doesn't have the OpenGL-merge, if I'm not mistaken.

[ChazFox]

Alright, thanks. I should probably pick up the non-legacy version in that case.

I'm moved a fortress between versions for the first time, from 31.05 to 31.06.  I did so partly to get this bug fix, from the readme:

   "(*) fixed material template values causing many natural creatures to be very squishy and underpowered"

Then I got to thinking - this was a change made to the raws in 31.06, correct?  But when I transferred the save over, it included its own raws, from 31.05.  So, which raw files are used when I actually play this old fortress under 31.06?  Does it use the files in raw\objects (which are from 31.06), or the files in data\save\region 1\raw\objects (which are originally from 31.05)?

And does this mean that I have to carefully copy the 31.06 raws into place in my 31.05 save directory so that ice wolves will stop trying to gum things to death?

Edit: Never mind.  Should have investigated more before posting   The answer is that 31.06 seems to have copied its updated raws into place in the save game, so it all works "as expected".

Yes, you'll have to copy the raws. If you haven't done any modding, you can simply delete the old raws and replace.

I've figured out why my raws were updated.  I play with the Phoebus tileset, and it includes "df_savegame_updater.bat", which copies the raws over for you.  Phew!

Got a question. Recently, i moved all living apartments to another place. Before that my exp. leader conducted meeting in his assigned room and it was fine. Now, i have removed his room (all furniture) and assigned him another one. But my exp. leader is still conducting meeting at old place, ignoring the new one. How do i make him conducting meeting with liaison and other unhappy dwarves at new place? I got him a throne room, meeting hall near that place but he still doesn't do it right.

are you building it ON THE FLOOR ABOVE the magma with a hole in one tile or are you FLOODING YOUR FORGE WITH MAGMA. the former is the way you construct a magma forge

Will a bismuth bronze floodgate stop magma?

YesNo, most floodgates made of any metal will.EXCEPT THAT ONE
