I'm just wondering when is the new update coming out? anyone even guess at a date?

Also what exactly is getting changed and added in this one?

[Cruxador]

It comes out when it's ready. Probably not for a few months, at the rate things are going.

Toady One never really says that an update is coming out until it is out, you can keep up to date on what he is working on vaguely by reading the posts here http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

No date.

We do know, however, the major contents of the up and coming release. There is economy tracking, sites no longer have every resource. When you make a fort you'll have to consider what you want because metals are less numerous. So there's a real economy.

Next there is ceramics and the animal drive animals, like bees. Eventually Toady will add adventure mode caravans and caravans actually moving on the world map as well as horse mounts. I'm thinking that it will take a while, but luckily 0.31.18 is a great version that anyone should be happy with.

Hope that answered your question of content

Usually, count a few week after he's finished adding features. He will have to iron out bugs.
That's how it have been in the past anyway. He won't give a date, for obvious reasons.

The quantity of updates the last 2 months have been significantly less than average.  not sure exactly what it means... but it means that things at least sure seem slower.

In the past, when updates have been slow, it's been because he's working on stuff that isn't much fun to write about.

I imagine that with site tracking, there's a ton of work to do, but not a lot of cool stuff to write about.

There are also eggs and a new megbeast next version. I plan to make a legendary egg throwing adventurer.

I plan to use catapults to fire rocks at rocs and make roc socks.

Next release will also have vegetable oil!  Cruelty free* soap for everyone!

We had to wait 2 years for the first .31 version to be released, so consider yourself lucky if the next version comes out this year.

* Unless you're a vegetable.

31.01 had the new underground, syndromes, healthcare, new military system, the whole material rewrite, Titans and Forgotten Beasts...

I'm guessing late February or early March based on nothing.

I would be surprised if it were released that soon. There's still a fair amount to go in.

X + a month, where X is 'today'.

Particularly adventure mode merchant skills.
