That's the latest. Toady is actively working on the next one. We don't know when it will come, though.
Also, welcome!

I like the idea of having release notices of utilities in its own child board. Utilities tend to work across most mods, but they also tend to update less frequently so it'd be easy for them to be buried in the general mod release child board.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Who does not use a Manager?
« on: June 07, 2013, 10:43:07 am »Also it's required to use DFHack's Workflow plugin, which can keep stock levels. I don't worry about running out of drinks anymore, I just get a manager and then DFHack, "Keep 500 drinks in stock" and it toggles the job on and off as needed. Works with almost every job, some trouble with things like dying and encrusting, but works gloriously when trying to keep food, drink, and ammo in supply.
You don't need the manager position to be filled for that. It might have been the case at one point, but I have a fortress humming along happily using workflow and no manager has ever been assigned. This doesn't obviate the usefulness of the manager, but it does mean you can get workflow going with one less trivial-to-minor hassle.

Thanks for the link, Hamsmagoo.
There's a lot of room for variations on power structures and how people come to power. I hope we get a lot to work with for modding. Setting up different systems of government, and the ramifications thereof, could be very interesting.

The token in the raws is [SUCCESSION:BY_HEIR] but that's as much as I really know about it. I'm not entirely certain that it's actually implemented. I think I've read recently that it's either unimplemented or badly broken, but I don't recall where I read it.
If it is broken, I might try making the monarch an elected position to see what happens.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Need Halp :[

I haven't looked at your save, but if you have leather, you can start making clothing from it. Shoes, pants, and shirts at a minimum. Until you have an over-abundance of supplies to make new clothing, I'd stick to the minimum.
It's generally easier to trade for raw materials like leather and cloth than to produce your own, so it's worth considering. Also, there appears to be a fantastic market for second-hand clothing. Trade off worn clothing to caravans to help keep you in good supply of materials to produce new clothing.
I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, milking and shearing don't seem to work with dfhack's workflow. Or, if it does, I welcome correction.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Problem with pig iron
« on: April 22, 2013, 01:00:12 pm »
That's correct behavior. Smelting pig iron bars always requires at least one refined coal for the reaction. In a conventional smelter, two refined coal would be required.

I agree. I'm not sure if the person or people behind it are forum regulars, but they did an excellent job.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: how to transter power(generated from a water wheel) to my fortress safely?
« on: March 09, 2013, 12:53:11 pm »
Blueprint1 is marginally safer than blueprint2 because no creature that somehow falls into the hole can climb back out. What neither defends against are flying creatures. What might work is something like:
I added Pp to your key to represent a pump, the P is the dark, impassible tile.
Code: [Select]
EHG
XXVXXXXX
XXVXPpGH
XXGHGXXX
I added Pp to your key to represent a pump, the P is the dark, impassible tile.

I'm not entirely sure, but this might be in reference to using the impassible tile of the screw pump as a power transfer point. I haven't tested such a solution myself, though.
