No use for cruthes, or plaster, or soap.
Did you know medical supplies will only count as being stocked in the hospital if they're stored in a bag/box/chest built in the hospital?
Yes, I know. What it have to do with fact that dwarves DO
NOT use cruthes
at all, using plaster for cast is
broken and soap... okay, I give this last one: soaps works in hospital storage.
Only. Not to mention other issues (most annoying is that medical skills seem to have
lower priority than No Job).
And that the hospital is, in fact, not NEARLY as bugged as you believe it to be?
Funny that Mantis, my experience and complaints all over this forum
somehow do not agree with you.
Also, adding new features before a bugfix does not introduce more bugs than adding new features after a bug fix.
Of course it can, in zilion ways. For example, some behaviour of new feature can rely on unfixed old bug. When you at last fix that old bug, new feature mysteriously broke, often in werid way and often months after originally writing it - so it will be very hard to make connection between two, not to mention actually fixing this secondary bug.
The features are going in at some point, and the bugs are getting fixed at some point. Introducing the bugs and then doing a big bugfixing push strikes me as a lot more sensible than...
Except this is not what Toady do. He writes code (read: introduces bugs), writes code, writes code, fix some bugs, writes code, writes code, writes code, fix some...
this cannot end well. Proper (or at least "properer") way is: writes code, fix bugs, writes code, fix bugs... in other words,
IMVHO he too rarely do bug fixing. And yes, I am very well aware this is what most of community want. It saddens me.
...fixing some bugs, then introducing new bugs and not doing a bugfixing push.
Where I write to not doing it? Last I checked, my post said something different.
Introducing new features before any decent bugfix cleanup is grave mistake.
In my opinion this fairly clearly shows "...fixing some bugs, then introducing new bugs, then another round of fixes".
