Why do the temperatures in the raws have such high numbers? Is there any special reason for water to freeze at 10,000 degrees?
Also,
What, approximately, would the Number be right now if you had kept track of it.

DF General Discussion / Re: On Sep 6: One year since a DF release
« on: August 18, 2009, 11:22:16 pm »From what I understand, this upcoming release has been rebuilt from the raws up - and every change in this release is effectively dependent on these new raws. Just like the change to 3D, 40d11, its associated mods and utils, and savegames will all be made redundant. Thus, any updates made to 40d11 are releases for the sake of releasing something to boost morale, which takes Toady's time away from what he's currently working on.
Unfortunately, the nature of the changes mean that everything has to be made recompatible - it's not just a matter of swapping a couple of .txt files; the entire framework of the game is being restructured to suit this stuff.
Additionally, due to the redundancy issue, I get the impression Toady wants to get most of the compatibility-breaking changes done in one hit so that such a thing won't happen again for some time.
DF will not fade away like so many vaporware projects. Armok will not allow it. And if Armok goes all rogue-like and allows it, it will have the community to answer to... in which case we should fear for the God of Blood's safety.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Edited for clarity.

Can we please stop calling them "OpenGL version"s?
ALL versions of DF use OpenGL.They are the SDL versions.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Anyways, any ETA on a d14 version?
In about 4 days ago.

DF General Discussion / Re: MOSS?!
« on: August 18, 2009, 02:00:17 am »I seem to recall a certain very long lived 2D era fortress having moss... also algae, or maybe it was just the algae.
Oh, and now there's algae too?!
Before you know it, we'll be hearing about lichen and mold.

Do you ever correct mistakes on the wiki (either just happening to find them or deliberately looking for them)?

Are you using Vista, and if so, is your DF folder in Program Files?

Also of note is digging upward ramps. It works like upside-down channeling, clearing out the tile above instead of below.

« on: August 15, 2009, 11:45:50 am »Also, the cave-in option in the init file suggests that there will eventually be cave-ins again.
That's for the current cave-in system.

Best you can get is making the whole thing out of cast obsidian.
