Get well soon Toady and Threetoe!

Don't worry, if I recall correctly the fever status is mostly harmless!

Secret Slabs!

You know, I just pictured a fortress that sends out raiding parties throughout the world to collect the forbidden knowledge, destroying dark lords and bringing the slabs back to the mountains, to be sequestered in deep vaults. When the fort itself falls to siege, the last inhabitant pulls a lever, sealing every access to the fort but one- the labyrinth through which a hero may try to find the slabs should the secrets therein be needed again...

That may well be possible once the Army Arc is added. Until then, you'd have to do it as an adventurer, using an abandoned fortress.

Actually it is completely harmless on its own so long as the temperature doesn't get too high and liquids are given freely.

It is accompaning illnesses that make it dangerous.

Ohh and get better as well Toady, Threetoe, and Scamps

[MasterMorality]

You keep plugging away there, Toady - I've still got to finish Dirgebends...

[EmperorJon]

I'll see if I can manage to work it out using the whole no-clothes raw edit business... will that work if I change it during a game? If I remove clothing from the entity file during the active save, will they all suddenly drop it and go on regardless?

[Caldfir]

Changes to entity raws don't take effect until worldgen unfortunately.  You can use dfhack to chop out owned items though, if you are really worried.

On another note, I am looking forward to seeing what goofy bugs show up on the devlog.

Yay, we're on the final stretch! I can't wait to see what modders create with this new interaction system.

[Jimlad11]

Nothing like a final stretch to start the Bay12 community drooling And yeah, the modding is gonna be very interesting to see.

But first? I shall take a stroll around a city, and check out the underground goodies and such

I can't wait to see what we can do with it!

[Neonivek]

Hmm with Training weapons greatly decreasing the threat of injury... I wonder if I should make a vouch for later, when medicine isn't stupid, for increasing the accident rate.

Given that the rate of injury during these periods were such that it was actually rather unlikely that by the time someone reached the level of master that they wouldn't have been injured once.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

of course the rate at which one reaches the title of master is also ridiculous, in a way that makes legendaries perfectly trivial. well, at least toady already gave us [SKILL_RATES], i find 10:0:0:0 to be a good number

If toady has a list of the current problems that need to be fixed before release, I kinda want to see it. It would be cool to have the list up somewhere so he could cross off things when he's done, add more when he finds them, and in general give us a way of seeing how much is left without having to make any sort of guess about how long is left. Or a dev page update about progress every couple of days, just to know how things are going, even if there' nothing really interesting going on.

While I would love more transparency in toady's work I can totally see why he doesn't want to. First most of the bugs are probably not interesting, like off by 1 store inventory or the like. Second the apparent size of a bug can mislead players about how easy it is to fix. Imagine if there is a bug that looks like its hardly worth fixing but its the tip of an iceberg? Toady sets out to fix it thinking it will be a few minutes and ends up spending days on it. Players would be howling for blood that he's wasting their time.

This isn't the Minecraft forums. DF players don't really howl for blood.

Unless it's Elven or goblin blood.
