pikachu skipped Vuohijumalas turn

Sorry, I tried 43.02 but it didn't work, so go ahead and skip me. I'll try to figure out what happened wrong. please just put me down a turn.

Captain's Log. Stardate 4032. My crew have just discovered a planet with strange humanoid inhabitants that call themselves "dwarves". These strange creatures are so constantly drunk that they just walked up to a dangerous creature they call a "titan" and tried to punch it to death, despite it towering over them. I have beamed down to a alternate town to learn more about this planet and it's fascinating culture. set "crossbows" to "kill".

Role: That one that was about discovering history
Race:Human
Name: James Kirk
Civ: X
Hometown: X

Oh crap. the save won't work with DF 43.01
I'll continue trying.

Dear Kel morningpants,
While it is cool that you managed to somehow become a lengedary crutch-walker without medical history of broken legs, I have no need of a legendary crutchwalker. hope you like hauling limonite and constructing walls!

                           Your Semi-Evil Overlord

Always use LNP. Always. So I'd recommend waiting until the v.0.43.02 LNP is out.

LNP makes changing graphics incredibly easy. I vote for Pheobus, it's easy to read.Also use TWBT, it makes it a lot easier to read actual text.

I'm voting for all utilities being okay, save outright DFHack cheating. Visualizers are fine (e.g., Armok Vision and Stonesense), gameplay helpers and organizational aids are okay (like Dwarf Therapist), and autodump and other DFHack commands are okay (but not autodump destroy), since they're something you could do anyway if you had way too much time on your hands.

you can use autodump to take all weapons and armor off invaders. you can use autodump to drop near-infinite anvils on keas. you can use autodump to take things out of aquifers. you can use autodump to move 500 slade boulders in 0 seconds.
autodump is an extremely powerful tool. therefore autodump is not "something you could do anyway if you had way too much time on your hands."

change everything about old fort reactions but the name, to the newer adv reactions

Suddenly the hero is attacked by a cyborg dragon, with fire-breath and lasers!

To the new rules, I would suggest something along the lines of having the ability to enact noticeable change on the fort without migrant intervention. With what I did, nothing the poor dwarf could do would make any significant difference to anyone or anything. I would say pickaxes shouldn't be strictly necessary, but being locked in an inescapable, un-farmable room without one would be removing said ability for productivity.

If  someone locked away a dwarf with a small supply of food and plenty of wood, would that be having the ability to enact noticeable change on the fort without migrant intervention, considering the dwarf could make stuff?

To sort of answer to the Days vs. Ticks debate, couldn't toady add a DWF_STRETCH to all uses of ticks?
And since certain creatures don't live a full day in real life, it should use ticks not days.
Sidequestion:can vermin mate in-game(the creatures that live less than day would be vermin, probably)?
