and the problem where raw modders have to update their work whenever the graphics modders do

What do you prefer: a universal weapon or a legendary dwarves being killed by minnows/groundhogs?

The second one, with the groundhogs, that sounds like fun to me!

No way in spoiler. That always piss me off to no ends. I'd rather take the bayonet if punches are indeed superior to crossbow butting. Heck, those rifle butts in medal of honor hit for like 30/hit.

Note to self: look through weapon balance.

EDIT: on a side note, serrated discs are expensive AND heavy. It's like say, bazooka, and is balanced given the economic and mobility cost.

Which is why you keep the kitchen deep underground behind several animal-proof doors with war animals guarding it.

But what if the stuff rot? That's why I do bbq outside to begin with.

It's called a "food stockpile". It's this nice new invention that prevents food from rotting forever.

Foot stockpiles make stuff rot more slowly, they dont prevent it. Morever, raw food can easily rot inside the workshop, too. Prepared food got enough shelf life to safely put on inside underground stockpiles but raw food & refuse will definitely and eventually spam miasma if your cluster is inside underground. It's better to do it outside and later on build some roof over it. I just got unlucky.

Drafting immigrants to fight buzzards as we speak.

2nd spring. Immigrants. I was looking at the incoming flashing Xs, waiting till they have all came in to start assigning jobs to them. And I noticed something. Red, all over the map. What's going on? At the bottom of the screen, it said A Buzzard has stolen +Longland grass seeds roast [10]+ !. I immediately popped my 'U'nit list and there it goes, 2 pages of buzzards. "Where's the ranger?" I screamed and zoomed at him. The man of the fort, with the only crossbow and all the war animals around him, is gulping booze. All the animals are flocking around him and there's none looking after the kitchen cluster. I facepalmed.

Bug: When you try to build a Jumping Room and don't have the required materials, it says you need "rock" breastplate/helm/shield.

Expected. It's same as when fey dwarves demand "rock" bars, by which he they actually mean metal.

Since you are building that, can you also keep watch on how building training perform comparing to sparing and demonstrations? All dwarves have lv2 in students since a few versions ago to encourage those activities. Since workshop training cost material, I expect it to grant xp faster.

I use one of these. Exellent gadget, considering you can also use them as a d-pad for games that dont demand precise timing.

erm, all ambushes already got P:R:BOX tokens, but if you insist, go to data\init\announcement.txt and add ":R:BOX" to all tags which have AMBUSH_ in it. These mean Pause, Relocate (zoom) to and pop up BOX.
