oh. for me, the launcher still works even though. i'll just create those two empty folders and hope it will just work as intended

Not sure if I have seen anyone else do this, but I always use the standard number of points and bring 5 picks and 2 axes.  This lets me plan half the fort out and have it almost done by the first migrant wave. 

Bags of sand are 1 point (i think?) and come with a free bag.

my latest forts had 3 picks, 2 axes, some materials to kickstart steel industry and some fabric and yarn from each available type so the first strange moods don't kill my dorfs and to have some emergency material for the hospital.
i am unsure if they changed that about bags of sand.

from my own experience, it's rather complicated to inject such a mod into a linuxLNP. some script files might need to be rewritten for the linux version.

FreeSpace, I feel your pain.

When I started I kept thinking Charcoal was for cooking, I never looked at it as coal. Took me forever to operate a smelter. Kept digging, and digging for Bituminous Coal. Quit many times, thinking my embark was bad, it had no coal.

yes, the "needs refined coal" was keeping me thinking i'd need coke for creation of steel.
i kept trying to seperate the stockpiles for charcoal and coke and shit like that and wondered why the coke didn't get used up...

alphabetically sorted lists everywhere which automatically sort, even if there's modded content added.
also filters for lists:
-brewing ingredients <-> cooking ingredients
-clothes and armor seperated!
-egglaying creatures <-> and the non-egglayers
-grazing creatures <-> nongrazers
-pet <-> not pet
-trained <-> wild

and if a list is fullscreen and there's no other layer of scrolling up/down, accept all possible up/down scrolling keys. (material selection in manager screen, symbol selection during embark or when selecting details for a job...)

had to correct it. it doesn't help much if you have to assign every creature to one single big zone and then have to assign all grazers to the actual grazing pen afterwards and then pick out all the egglayers to assign to the nestbox zone and then free all the pets from those zones.
it's okay with ~20 animals, but after the third migrationwave, you definitely have too many animals to actually care about sorting them out manually.

so maybe an autoassigning option for the zone system would help too.
just adding all the above as options for a Pen/Pasture zone and all creatures will automatically be assigned accordingly.

is there a manual to the new workshops?

omg, please tell me we're not going to ruin this awesome game with paid content systems.

but for the stone, i'd actually find it more consistent if each tile would yeald atleast a brick and some would yeald a boulder with the skill of the miner slightly improving the chances of getting a boulder.

The issue is item clutter when digging out areas.

oh, didn't think about that...
but if each wall needs 4 bricks anyway, it might be used for craftign and building already.
whenever i make a huge surface defense, i need lots of stone for it and after i lay out my plans, i start digging to find out what material i can use for it all.
there's always ways of getting rid of surplus stone.
idea: new type of possible contract with human settlements to supply them with a certain amount of bricks.
