Does anyone have issues with cooking royal jelly? The wiki mentioned that it should be possible to eat it raw or cook it up, but even when I created a stockpile directly under a kitchen, accepting only royal jelly (meaning it, in theory, should have been the nearest thing as the dwarf digs for subsequent ingredients), it still seems to just get ignored. The royal jelly is marked for cooking in the Kitchen menu. Regular honey in jugs is recognized fine for brewing, given that it was fixed in .20. Did the fix end up breaking recognition of royal jelly in jugs?

bug of stockpiled stuff not working?
try deleting the stockpile and not accepting them in others - should work.

I've heard that putting floor grates near your well will prevent muck from accumulating. Does there have to be an open space under the grates? If not, will the well collapse when I channel all the eight squares around it?

Grates used to prevent the buildup of contamination, but they don't in the current version.  Pools of blood, vomit, and forgotten beast poison will sit right on top of grates as if they were solid floor.

The "current version" in that discussion was 0.31.19. So, let me ask:

Question: Do contaminants still pile up on top of grates (like a filter) in 0.31.21?
Also, do contaminants in water also build up on fortifications without being able to pass through?

Thanks for the new release, Toady.

Toady, donate genetic material for fabricating my child!

Going to embark, and my civ has access to all the underground crops EXCEPT Plump Helmets. No seeds, no plants, no wine, no nothing.

I am confuse.

Perhaps it's related to the new feature where animal species have ranges rather than occurring in every spot they possibly can? I don't remember if the changelog said that that affected plants, too, but it seems like it at least affects trees - every civ I've embarked as so far has had a limited selection of aboveground wood available, and the site I'm playing now has tower-caps but not fungiwoods in the first cavern.

Edit: Yeah, it's a feature. The .19 changelog says

Animals and plants occur with more or less contiguous ranges now, respecting biome.  There are specific grasses.  The evil grasses are probably a little extreme and seizure-inducing.  I might throttle that back.

Is anyone else having an issue finding coal? I mean even when making resources more common during world gen. I get tons of metals, but I haven't struck any coal since 31_19, and I've started a number of games.

I seem to have no coal at all. I can't trade for bituminous coal because civs don't have it, although they do have bituminous coal blocks for some reason. I should still be able to get some on my own maps though.

Is it spawning lower down maybe? I don't rush to reach the bottom of the map - I just dig down when I need the extra space. If so then that might be my problem, but it used to spawn at higher levels and I'm too used to that.

I once had a starting civ that had bit. coal for embark so yes, it does exist in .20 (so presumably, .21 too).

[Newbunkle]

Thanks. I guess I've just been unlucky then.

New devlog entry... wat?

stopped some misuse of combat/training bolts

Is that what I think it is? That dwarves will finally understand they are to use wood/bone bolts for practice and the silver/steel/[insert modded material here] bolts when sent to battle stations/patrols?

fixed problems with glass material properties

Finally, the damage potential of glass trap components will be fixed!

[Wirevix]

I definitely found coal in the newest version--my current .21 fort is absolutely swimming in lignite.  I turned resource availability up a bit and it's absolutely everywhere, so it's probably the specific world you genned not getting lucky.

very rare, and i've got loads of everything.

Anyone else have a problem with the flux stone setting in the embark finder? I just tested it and it displays the entire region as suitable for both flux yes and no.

Oh man I hope both of these work - i love spamming glass axe and disc traps, and am a heavy marksdwarf user.

Is it me or all Kobolts starve to death in this version at year 4?
