Sorry, I know he's already aware of the underground farming bug though, I think.

I was mostly rambling off my thoughts, so..... heh

[Toady One]

Ah, I already did the dead squad dwarves, just didn't mention it in the dev log online and forgot to check off the bug entry in the tracker.  I did the tracker now.

Oh cool.

Yay to me for mentioning it.

Now to hope for a release this week so we can enjoy the fixes :3

[Silveron]

I'm curious what the status is on:

http://bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=95 - Stockpile catagories missing subgroups like bones/shells

[turgidtoupee]

As I'm here, please please do something about the shell issue. Some places simply don't have it, and all I can do is stick shells on cats and murder a few kittens. Not a bug as such, but I'd still like it gone.
If not, I'm going to make a pet giant turtle mod so I can embark with some walking shells. They can replace dogs, or something. This is if it hasn't been done already.

[smjjames]

According to the devlog, he restricted shell moods to those that have a fetish (Toadys words, not mine) for shell. Which could help alleviate the issue, but the underlying issue is still there.

Any chance to fix "cancels Pickup Equipment: Equipment mismatch" spam when dwarves try to equip ammo (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=2685) before next release?
It is the most annoying bug I found in 0.31.10 so far. Another one is dwarves using ammo designated for combat while training, but I can live with it.

Otherwise military works so much better now, thank you for all the fixes! Changelog for 0.31.11 seems awesome already, it looks like the bug fixing goes faster and faster with every release!

training bugs are probably the only thing putting me off DF for now.. it's just so incredibly annoying when they either don't train or get eternally stuck in it.

Yeah, but there's also annoying military title rotation.
See, the dwarves in the unit list are grouped by profession, and even if you custom-retitle your axedwarves to, well, axedwarves, they're still going to be scattered through that list according to their civilian skills. You then can't at a glance say how many dwarves of a given profession you have, because some of these might just be off-duty militia-dwarves. I'm not sure this is a bug, but I think it needs Toady's attention no less than the bugs do.

Also, there are quite a few other (less nasty) bugs, such as dwarves not using crutches. Of course, we are already used to having permanently bedridden dwarves from 40d, and it is in no way game-breaking.

Whining aside, I want to say it is rare to see a person as determined as Toady. We're all very lucky.

If you aren't already, you could use Dwarf Therapist. Sounds more like an organization issue than a bug.

[Murphy]

What, it can change dwarf colors or change my military to be full-time?
Not an option anyway, since there's no linux version.

I'll direct any who are willing to discuss that to the relevant topic, so as not to clutter this one:

Would anyone hate me if I created a dwarf fortress repository, for the benefit of the linux users?

I meant the organizing your military dwarves into a group part. As for a linux version of Dwarf Therapist, you'll have to ask Chmod about that in the modding section. I think there is a linux version, but not sure how well it works, so, again, you'll have to ask in the DT thread.

Why would anyone hate you if you did so? I'm not a linux user, so I can't speak for other people.

I mean toady, and because of copyright/legal/intellectual property sort of reasons. I'll have to respect his wishes if he wants it kept at this site.

Having read up on this, I think it's a bit out of my league unless I can find some program to do it for me. It would be useful if someone did this, though.

I have a small oddity. Started viewing stuff for haul-to-depot.
A named goblin's bone (stack of five), weighing 78 units. Really heavy. Basic value 0 as of all bones.
Also have 2h-camel bone, stack of 17, weighing 68 units.
Also have 2h-camel bone, stack of 17, weighing 84 units.
I don't think bones should weigh the same as twice a unit of wood logs.
