A mineral variety setting as well as a scarcity one would be really awesome. Also, more coal, lol.

This thread is noticeably quieter than the other release threads we've had lately, and I'm inclined to think that's because there are so fewer bugs. So, cracking job, Toady. I've not noticed many bugs pertaining to the recent additions. That said there are plenty of old bugs that will hopefully be fixed in the next release. New bugfixes will no doubt lead to new bugs, though..

[Dradym]

i would like to request the next bugs to be fixed(if they arent already...i havent checked out anything because some of these havent been fixed as far as i can see)

animal training bugs-cant make guard bears, cougars and the like.
dungeon master
underground farming

after that stuff...continue on with the caravan arc!

In 31.29, Toady fixed almost all bugs brought by the new features on 31.19. Now he will fix old bugs for two weeks before working on new features. I think this is a nice plan of releases.

Really?  You couldn't even bother to check?

underground farming

If you mean the part where underground soil needed mud, that was fixed a few versions back.

I'm very, very pleased by this change from Mantis, for the next release:

The current state now with fixes applied is that dwarves with one leg or a broken leg will use a crutch, and dwarves without legs or that can't use either leg but are otherwise treated and healthy will just move around slowly on the ground. There could be more for legless dwarves later, but it is out of bug territory now.

[Buttery_Mess]

The ghost bug is probably the most important bug that needs to be fixed right now, because that's a real fortress killer. I'm certainly looking forward to the crutch bug being fixed, though too.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shame it won't fix my crutch bugs j/k

The soap spam bug I'm really looking forward to being fixed. Diplomat/liason bugfixes will also certainly be welcome, and more intelligent military equipping will be grand. I was going to say being able to clean walls will be a bonus, but I've just noticed a bloodstained wall that is now free of blood in my fort! I guess that's been fixed?

I've got to say, .21 is a great release. I thought .18 was good, but .21 is just great.

[TolyK]

it looks like the even releases are still gonna be the longest-lasting ones, with 1 feature release and 1 or 3 releases for bug fixing - this time it's basically 3.

Also: OMG THANK YOU SO MUUCHHH!

Walls can already be cleaned-by-proximity, because cleaning the target tile (the tile the dwarf stands on) also cleans the 8 surrounding tiles, even if they are walls. Unfortunately, since a dwarf can't really stand on a wall, walls themselves aren't targeted for cleaning.

Crutches and plaster casts fixed?!  I was honestly starting to think that this was the kind of stuff that required an AI rewrite because he kept persistently not fixing them.

As appreciative as I am about all these new features and bug fixes getting cranked out so fast, it's making it tough for me to keep a fort going for any good length of time.  It seems like every time I start one some news comes out about upcoming features or bug fixes and I'm like, "Well shoot.  I may as well wait for that and start again."

[Farmerbob]

What does 'related buddies' refer to?

Giant Pandas, Pandamen, Giant Capybaras and Capybara men.

Bejeezus those giant pandas are fairly impressive. A pair of them can often take down a roc in arena mode.

That's impressive, because as far as I can tell they're only a seventh the size of an elephant. And a roc is meant to be able to carry off an elephant.

That's why I've decided now is a good time for some experimental and challenging embarks. I've got to get to grips with the military sometime - it might as well be now when the delete-save-monster will kill them all anyway.

The military screen is not difficult to use! Why do so many people get put off by it?

[Areyar]

My only complait is that it is not easy to track which weapons are used and how many unused weapons of a certain type are still unused, otherwise I like the military screen.

Oh, and IIRC it is not possible to remove units once created, or was it that the noble position of the squadleader remains even after removing the squad.

[Niveras]

It could use some refining (the ability to filter the list of dwarves would be nice, either dynamically based on a string you provide or a simple toggle to not show dwarves who are already in a squad), but then that is true of the overall interface itself. I tend to agree that if you can play the game, it's not a huge leap in understanding the military interface. There are some quirks that can make it annoying to use (mostly centered around frequency of training, especially archery practice) but I consider it reasonably functional.

animal training bugs - cant make guard bears, cougars and the like.

I had war/hunting elephants in .19 IIRC, sadly they starved to death but that is another matter.
Any animals/mosters that cannot be trained are probably 'exotic' and require the DM. Wish he was fixed as well.

Do NC's have a thing against Kobolds? Because in my worlds they seem to attack Kobolds FAR more than any other creature.

They do both want to hang out in surface caves, maybe they will compete less if you raise the number of caves generated in worldgen?
