For anyone else who stumbles across this - Apparently the salt content of a tile functions similar to sunlight; once it is touched by the contaminant, it remains of that status forever.  The only options are either rebuild elsewhere, or use DFHack to clean the tiles.

Good old Therapist (the inflexibility of labor groups in Premium is a bit silly).  Anyways, I ran into an issue and am unsure if it's a setting I changed; I assigned a Dwarf the Stonecrafting labor, committed change, then ordered a few rock pots, but that Dwarf still shows 'no job'.  Do I need to change my ingame labor groups to 'all'? (I thought DT overwrites those).  Edit: Disregard, my joy of recreating my old professions caused a rookie mistake.

The savagery of the ocean is irrelevant for my purposes, though it does tend to match the landscape.  I have found that I get more tropical regions with a double pole, as a single pole will sometimes cut short the tropical end in favor of more normal stuff.  I have created a parameter set that works reasonably well, but am now struggling with weather.  I'm trying to determine if the weather type is consistent when recreating the base seed only (leaving creature/name/history random).  I have created the same world twice and gotten different blood rain each time.  I dunno if blood rain is locked in, or there is a chance I can get something more interesting.

Ah, that's fair.  Well for what it's worth, this plugin was by far my best friend in Classic.  I suppose we'll see what the future holds for Premium (perhaps it's time I started learning lua writing myself).

Great minds think alike, I was just hunting for this thread.  The latest version of Premium has some limited keyboard cursor functionality, but not at the worldmap selection (that I can tell).  I hope you will come back to this plugin eventually.

That is brilliant, and I wish I could pass that on to Toady & Putnam.  Also I'm probably glossing over the keyboard option you mentioned, I do not see it anywhere in settings.  I'll give it another try soon-ish.

I've tried to make the new version work, I really have, but it's just so very slow by comparison.  The loss of macros has also been hard for me.  Used to be I could order digging of 28 bedrooms in just a few seconds.  Now designing a large bedroom floor (and really all other digging) is a cumbersome chore.  I recently had the urge to Dwarf again and stopped after half a year.  I'd spent as much real time playing a few months as I would have playing 2 years in the old version.

Any input is appreciated, though I don't think there's any help for my situation at present.  Keyboard cursor might never come back, or will be a very long time if it does.  I can get used to the new menus and make sufficient hotkeys, but anything that requires painting (dig, zone) is impossibly slow, not to mention the strain on my wrist from using the mouse in that fashion for a prolonged time.

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay.  I promise I have not forgotten   My goal is to everything updated tonight, in addition to recent nominations.
