So what's changed?
« on: May 08, 2011, 04:24:01 am »

Oh hai guyz

I used to play back in the days of 0.31.14, the days of acid rain and if a single drop of blood was spilled anywhere where a dwarf would ever tread, it would soon spread to everywhere in your entire fortress, dooming the entire thing to a painful, lagging death

unfortunately, I had to stop playing due to uni and finding myself a gf =[
So whats changed since those days? what are the new bugs features ways of having FUN?

Are danger rooms still viable? can we still colonize the circus and force dem beardless bastards to feast on !!!plump helmets!!!?
Anything I should be aware of before starting a new fort?

You can now make rock pots, which function like barrels.
Dragons can also claw your limbs off too.

:O

that is awesome
although, I imagine it would take months for a dwarf to move a rock pot from one end of the fort to another...

So do we have rock bins?

You are mistaken. We do not have rock bins. Bins, along with charcoal and beds, are one of the only real uses left for wood.

Would be pretty awesome though to have rock bins.

Anyways, you now have pottery industry, beekeeping, herbivorous animals must graze at grass that grows outside on most biomes and inside once you have broken the caverns.

Also, badgers. Try embarking on a savage temperate shrubland.

Quite often they're the cause of a trantrum spiral to to impaled pets/babies, as well as the occasional broken limb, but otherwise they can make a leg+5 in Armor user, Shield user and weapon user in less than a minute.

Danger rooms work, and I use them all the time.

Don't enable Item Hauling on her or she'll do nothing but bring home clothes, shoes and decorated metalcrafts from outside your fort.  It's also a bit of a cheat but if you define several 1x1 meeting areas on comfortable furniture then you'll socialize a lot quicker  ;D

Yeah, good luck with the strange moods.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.
