I suppose this time of the decade is a little bit of a slow point for Dwarf Fortress, while everything catches up with the updates?

Transferring saves hasn't worked for like 20 versions.

So the combat wounding means that you could simply armor everyone up with no leg protection and minimum torso protection and send them into the Danger Room and oh my God why is this even a thing now loving Dwarf Fortress. Haven't updated yet myself, figure I'll wait until Toady's settled out most of the current crop of issues and such. Gelding and fruit-picking ladders just aren't quite enough to justify it for me yet, I'm afraid. I assume though that it's only a matter of time now until the ladder code allows for their use in sieges (about five years down the line)?

I generate new worlds all the time anyway, but I'm pretty sure save compatability has been preserved since like 40.04.

Every time I try to transfer saves from one version to another, the new version doesn't even recognize the old save as existing.

I just generated a pocket world in .04 and moved an in-progress game in it to .19 with no problems. Are you trying to move them from pre-.04 to post-.04?

No I try to move them from like one version ago to the most recent and the game doesn't even give me the option of trying to load from it.

In fairness, I don't generally trust moving saves even between versions where it works. Maybe just my luck, something about my system, whatever, but it's always universally lead to worlds that are...bizarrely buggy and often crash-prone.

I just had Fun via a werehedgehog attack which only killed one dude. It was great! While six of my dudes laid up in the hospital slowly not-dying, four others who fought the beast in the first place transformed in my dining room and killed just about everyone else. Then over the next few months my new expedition leader, the two hundred and thirty year old Presser with absolutely no valuable skills, proceeds to slowly but surely kill everyone else in werehedgehog form, racking up well over twenty kills... ...except for the insanely badass one hundred and forty-year old Bowyer with 18 children, who holds him off with a crossbow long enough for two whole migrant waves to arrive, then gets his head punched in as the other civilians dogpile the werehog. On the side, is the extreme age of my werehog expedition leader due to him being a vampire/necromancer/etc, or just an oddity of the history system?

Actually, yeah. I know bamboo is a "grass," but it's also a legit food, craft material, and construction material. I guess Toady slapped a ground cover tag on it and left it at that, but it's a bit disappointing. I want to have bamboo skewer pit traps around my fort.

I dropped my save folder from 40.15 into the directory for 40.16 and it loaded fine. I can't tell if the goblin and stress fixes in that version are actually working or not in the save but it loaded fine.

My weaponsmith had a mood, but he wants yarn cloth and I don't have any animals I can shear. Anything I can do? If not it's kinda bullshit.

Hope he can last out 'til the next trader caravan arrives, kill 'em all, and make sure your hospital isn't set to gobble all of the cloth up. Failing that, murder every large animal on the map, butchering an animal leaves their hair behind too.

You can't make cloth out of any old animal hair, it has to be yarn specifically.

It looks like dwarf therapist has been updated for 40.19, with the new stress system! I'm going off my email update from bay12, but if it's true gently caress yeah. I can live without dfhack if I have dwarf therapist! edit: Now that I am back to my desktop: confirmed! The new release of DT supports all of the latest and greatest DF has to offer! Which also means (due to memory mappings shared between DT and dfhack) a DFhack for 40.19 should not be far behind! Now where's DF 40.20?

I hope everyone can forgive me for neglecting the supposedly up to the latest OP for like four months and not really being up for it today either, take this exciting devlog as an apology:Toady One posted:I've started by playing around with the main job selection procedure. It'll take a bit to get it balanced out, but jobs-choosing-dwarves-independently is in the past. I have my little invisible help-wanted ads for them to look through now, followed by a little invisible pick-best-applicants procedure.

Maybe this would also bring back the economy portions of the game? I kind of don't like having to assign individual labors and such, it would be nice to just have dwarves decide what they want to do.

[hands rubbing] this December is more like Jobselectember, now let's hope progress is quick" so it's not a total bomb, but that's still a pretty slick start.

None. Tileset makers haven't really grasped the TWBT paradigm yet. e: unless you count illegible runes as "no letters"
