I wasnt to sure where to put this but since this only happens after i save or quit a game while playing in Dwarf Mode, anyways after i quit and go back to the main menu there is only an option to load my saved game or gen a new world cant do adventures or legends. I noticed this recently and after i updated to .19 i figured maybe it would...disappear to no avail it still happens i tried to do a search but nothing popped up.

You can't use adventurer mode or Legends mode if you still have a fort running.

If you abandon the fort, those options will show back up.

I think the problem is, how would the game synchronize the state of the world if your adventurer were to, for example, visit your currently operating fortress while your fortress game is suspended? Even if you didn't visit your own fortress, what timeline would your adventurer be experiencing compared to your fort and how would any conflicts be resolved?

The only ways I can imagine this working are if you could play adventure mode and fort mode simultaneously, or if you could clone a world into an "alternate dimension" (timeline) starting at the last save point.

Actually I guess you probably could clone the world, but you'd need to duplicate the save folder, then resume the fort in the duplicate, then abandon your fort and start adventure mode in the duplicate....

I think legends mode should still be available in both modes though.

I do wonder what the obstacle to that is, but it's been like that since the beginning, so it must be a real one.

And when you build your fortress walls from the bones of skeletal elephants, slain my weapons forged from melted goblin plunder, fed on cattle that graze on grass that blinks.  Then, you will know dwarfdom.

I guess it could just be considered "cheating" since you might learn about new stuff going on that the dwarves wouldn't really know about, but I'm really not sure what kind of useful response your dwarves could have to any of that yet....
