 But he cleans out the annoying bugs fairly regularly. I don't think there are any bugs now that existed two or three years ago.

But he cleans out the annoying bugs fairly regularly. I don't think there are any bugs now that existed two or three years ago.

There's a few here and there. The dreaded Nemesis Bug is still on the bug tracker, for instance.

[Nivim]

 The bug tracker didn't exist three years ago...and I didn't think nemesis did either.

[G-Flex]

Yes, it did. That error existed in 40d, and likely much earlier.

Toady has to leave due to working on a complete war simulator for the US Gov leaving DF unfinished.
In the year 2034 Moscow, Beijing and trinidad are destroyed as lava floods the lands. YellowStone national park is 600meters deeper.
Rumours of Toady saying "dammit we only have enough for half of Europe left" after the event have not be confirmed

[Max White]

Well in theory, in order to accuratly emulate a system, you need a system or equal or greater complexity. Therefor, because DF would have all the complexity of real life, we would need to convert all reality into the DF universe. As such, I advise you to be nice to your dwarves, as one day you could be one.

Actually you can abstract many things only things that are crucial to the game need to be simulated thus most quantum stuff can be done by RNG andd simpliefied physics if we as user dont look at it.

We will not settle for anything less then 100% realisem. DF is setting the standard for all games today, we the standard should be high. Quantum processing is  MUST HAVE. Once that is implmented, the migrant system gets reworked.

Well, Toady said the game was 31% done a while ago. We can assume that by the time it hits 100%, it'll accurately model the universe and all of its intricacies.

[Urist Imiknorris]

It has a control scheme SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICATED then ruling a small universe.

Holy crap, DF is Sburb.

This is the earliest mention of it the search finds, from October 30, 2007. Ten more days till its anniversary, I guess.

  Just be careful of that "Nemesis Unit Load Error" when you try and immigrate. =]

Don't you get it? The final version of Dwarf Fortress has been completed. You're living in it. Its just so seamless and perfect that you are convinced it is the "real world".

Toady is God, and has given us an old version of his universe to play with.

IT MAKES SENSE NOW!

[Desdichado]

Between the candlejacking 4channers and raving sycophants, it's easy to dismiss this thread, but realistically the end of DF will probably look like this prescient quote:

It'd be unplayable because so many features got implemented but so few works and optimized. The game'd crash 90% of the time, every turn. Saving will also fail 90% of the times. You'd have to play turn by turn and pray for that 1% chance of success to advance. World gen simply doesnt work, you have to import one from earlier versions. When you embark, before you unpause, you have to run a 2-3h long DFHack batchwork to fix all the quirky stuff that'd reduce the chance of the game crashing 100% of the times to 90%. Aside from that, the game would be awesome. Everything would just be square, that's for certain, but the physics is so unimaginably accurate that each turn take about 5 minutes to process. When battles occur, you can see arrows fly one more square every morning.

I mean, the future increase in computing power looks to be mainly from the addition of more cores, and Toady has yet to come to terms with even a rudimentary attempt to multi-thread.

I agree. And it has versions of itself in it!
