Just like "You know you've played too much DF when..." only like this...
You know the new version has bugs when you can farm in your fully engraved legendary dining room.
Anyway, back on topic.
You know the never version has bug when a single raccoon contains enough blood to splatter on everybody and their pets, paint the entire zone red and do the same to a 768x768 obsidian mining facility.
You know the new version has bugs when, despite your only defense being gold and platinum disks, the goblins decide they really don't want to attack you after all and instead make a giant pile outside and climb over each other for 3 months before going home.
You just know that this version has bugs when you are trying to build a wall off the side of a grate, only to have the wall tip over into the sea below, pulling the dwarf along.

They did that in the old version with bridges too.

This one happened in my game also. :D

Bah, in my fortress goblins are greeted by broken glass!
Actually, I wonder if that's a bug, large serrated green glass disks, that is... They sound awfully painful...
When a well is used and water is more than a tile or so below it, and the world ends...the new version just might have bugs.

What do you mean how did I get it? I just made it at the glass furnace like any other glass item:

Well it certainly seems it ought to work as well or better than wooden trap components. Only thing is, if you make a spiked ball out of green glass, is it going to shatter the first time you use it, doing a ton of broken-glass damage to whatever it hits but completely ruining the trap for any further use?

Now that I think of it, do installed trap components improve the quality of a room? Forget about statues, my dining hall is going to be decorated with platinum circular saws!
(They shall menace with spikes of platinum, oh yes they shall.)

In the *old version* (pre 32a) of the game glass did 50% of the weapon's base damage (same as wood), but that might have changed. Stands to reason, since Obsidian did 133% (same as Steel) and Obsidian is just the same thing as glass. Weapon strength, I believe, is still waiting to be added - Obsidian will not be as strong as Steel though damage will still be similar.</STRONG>
Obsidian is not the same thing as artificially-produced glass. Obsidian can hold a MUCH sharper edge than glass, and is a bit stronger too. That said, green glass shards stuck in a baseball bat would still hurt like a sumbich, but I don't think they'd cleave through armor quite the same way obsidian would.

That's not a bug, that's just dwarves being dwarves... :D

I also got the "needs 2 green glass bars" thing. Maybe there's some trick to selecting it I'm not getting...I can make them from any metal I have around, but not glass.

Not only that, the dwarves will try to pickup the dropped tasks but will then drop and runaway again. And they will continue this routine for years to come because their fragile little minds can't comprehend the concept of safety - they can't tell if something is safe or not.
