Better handling of axe/pick issues with civilian vs. military equipment
Or perhaps a Child Hammerer position, for children by children.
Urist McFormerlyAngry, standing at table: "Now pay attention class, as I throw this axe at that archery target."I think if a tantrumer learns throwing, they'll also start teaching the dwarves that, he he he. The examples throwers give in class based on their wealth of experience must be pretty funny.
If you're willing to use dtil, you could do it properly and just spawn tiles of 7/7 magma immediately above the river at those edges, then let it fall in and make obsidian. This would also have the advantage of not unnaturally increasing the river's flow rate.
I didn't think of doing that, and I could have done that with the same tool I used to make the river sources (for each tile). And I suppose that would have been more dwarvenly. But now I probably have the risk of spontaneous river explosion if I ever accidentally dig into it. That sounds dangerous enough to make up for it. heh.
Quetsion for Toady: How would you add to your game something like say this fish? The fact that such a thing even exists is amazing to me.That blobfish thing is spectacularly weird. The physics of it would indeed probably be quite tricky. Fortunately, it looks like it lives way too deep to appear in dwarf fortress.
So yeah, it doesn't seem like there's much left on the list now. I wonder what's going to take so long that Toady doesn't think he'll get it out by year's end? All the testing that'll need to be done?
There are a bit more than 30 items left on the list. If he kept up his current rate through all of them, he would get done sometime in December. If the average time per item goes up to much more than a day and a half, it will take until the new year to complete them all. Personally, I expect the release between Christmas and the New Year, but I am overly optimistic.
