The reason that Atheism is so strongly tied with ration thought and science is that unseen god(s) is not disprovable and thus believing in it is as rational as believing in anything else we can neither confirm or deny exists.

Well science and mathematics in particular are based on axioms, which we inherently can't prove or disprove. Ask a scientist enough questions and he'll eventually tell you 'because the axiom says so'.

I think the idea that atheism is more rational is merely popular sophistry. Popular in some cultures at least, Rabbis (sp?) are considered pretty rational.

One has to remember that the main characters are dwarves, traditionally fantastic miners. So why should they suffer from the constraints of human miners?

That said I don't mind the idea of rubble. Maybe mining rubble could take the same amount of time as mining does now, whereas getting a useful stone out  of the tile could take longer.

This happened to me couple of days ago, and it wasn't cause anyone was sleeping 'cause I cycled up to a certain squad but it wouldn't keep cycling, - or +. Only a minor annoyance, and it might not even be relevant in the next version.

I know this thread is dated but it's the link from the eternal suggestions voting board.

My 2 cents.
I like the fertility idea, give all sand tiles a fertility value and decrease it as it gets used or increase it if fertilised. Plants range from 1-5 yield depending on current fertility/maxfertility(of best sand/peat?).

Combine this with the watering task and farming is more modest, realistic and isn't really any harder to manage. You'd only have to move farms if you don't want to waste wood.

Also I think underground crops, aside from mushrooms, should be cut out until lighting is implemented.

The error is in atioglxx.dll.  I renamed the file to atioglxx.old to see if it work then, and it does. (...)

Looks like you need a new ATI OpenGL driver.

fuck you're slow draco

yeah heh, just noticed another thread talking about this in a commonplace fashion, was trying to delete this post when you replied.   

I had a big flood recently when I'd used an up/down staircase instinctively instead of just an up stair case, which is all I needed. Even if there's no connecting staircase below an up/down staircase it'll leave a hole in the floor. Could that be the problem?

I was able to dig around the offending area (to reduce the water level), remove the staircase, and floor the hole, plus I got a few good swimmers.
