I always saw the "no construction engravings" thing as an incentive to live underground.  Is this not an intended metagame directive?

I always saw the "no construction engravings" thing as an incentive to live underground construct incredibly byzantine pump stack mega complexes to raise water and magma to the roof of the world, only to send it tumbling together back down into a crazy jelly mold, thus casting a tower of doom from obsidian in which to live.  Is this not an intended metagame directive?

ftfy?

Okay, my next megaproject is Obsidian-cast fort spanning from magma sea all the way up to sky celing.

One solution to the engravings on constructions could be to allow the addition of decorations to constructed walls or floors.  And if when constructed walls or floors were deconstructed, the decoration objects seperated from the block/stone/wood/etc and could be used elsewhere.  Cloth images (ie. tapestries or rugs), engraved stone, wood, or metal plates, or even encrusting walls with jewels.  As long as the game limited how many decorations could be applied to a wall, there shouldn't be too big of a fps hit.

I'm glad to see the fixing of some bugs with the military/uniform screen are coming up.  However it would be nice if when assigning specific armor/weapons to a dwarf, the items that were already assigned to someone were noted somehow as when you assign them again, it deletes the original assignment.

This. It'd be even nicer, though, if the equivalent were done when assigning dwarves to squads.

You mean that the equipment stays with the dwarf instead of the squad surely?
(As a reassigned dwarf is already removed from any previous squad assignment)


Dunno, I'd like it if items that are already assigned or used would have this noted somewhere in the assignnment screen, just like it is done for dorfs when looking through candidates for a squad position,
but not if equipment would stick to them. . . unless this would only happen with specifically assigned and favored equipment.

Probably we'll have to wait till the armouy master comes back.

I think this does count as a suggestion though.

[Silophant]

No, I actually meant that, when you're assigning dwarves to squads, there should be some marker that tells you a dwarf is already in a squad. Currently, there's no way to tell other than going to your old squads and seeing where the holes are. But this is totally a suggestion.

[Tenebrais]

I'm pretty sure there is. When you highlight a dwarf in that menu it tells you what squad he's in.

Totally non-phallic squad names ya got there, Tenebrais.

As something of a bug connoisseur, I can confidently state that today's round of fixes is awesome.  Lots of those bugs went back to 31.01, and some of them (notably moody dwarves ignoring magma workshops) were pre-40d.  Some of them (like the one where backup raws get parsed) were also very weird and difficult to track down.

[Kogut]

It looks great! Go, go bugfixing!

[Lovechild]

Healthcare bugs coming up next = HELL YEAH

I lol'd

[agatharchides]

As much as I love the bugfixes, which I do, I have to admit I am having a hard time getting into a fort knowing I'll be starting over in a couple of weeks.

same here.

@Foot: wow, these are great.
