Title: dwarves no longer display what they are hauling
Post by: Salmeuk on December 07, 2022, 11:10:42 am

as stated in the title, it was previously possible to visually inspect what a dwarf was carrying since their character would blink with whatever item is hauled. this is no longer the case. this adds unnecessary mouse clicks! I understand it might look strange to have a dwarf turn into a stone or something. but little features like this are what make DF's management burden somewhat acceptable to the player.

Now, I must visually identify that a dwarf's tile is moving significantly slower than expected, and infer they are hauling, and then click on them to confirm this.

Hopefully we get this back when advanced features like ascii-mode get (re)introduced. :)
