Has anyone else problems with squads not picking up ammunition? I checked and double-checked all assigned weapons, ammunition and the actual equipment. But the ammunition stays on the stockpile. Still 1.4.1, though, but I had the same problem in 1.4.0.

Let me guess, you are using one of the two awesome new bolts (stone or gems)?
In that case, you need to add new ammo, they are called rock tip bolts and gem tip bolts, both in the "(foreign)" part of the list.

As for the other ammunitions, it's the same, roughly, try to deactivate the ammunitions you can't use.

In 1.2, I had rare cases where my hunter would take bolas and a crossbow and then complain about not having ammunition, and not changing it either.

Basically, make sure:
1. They have the weapon and a quiver.
2. They have orders to take the right ammunitions for the weapon, and that only.
3. They can access those ammunitions (burrows, doors/bridges, etc).

If they still refuse to take ammunitions, then order them (s menu, them "m"ove works great), then cancel when they are all on positions, and after a minute order them again.
This should fix it, or at least it was the hardest I needed to try to get them pick stuff up.

@Vherid: don't take this bad, but your whole post seems like "I don't really like your work, but can I make a review of it? Oh, and the graphics everyone says it takes ages to change, I'll make it even not knowing how for now, should not be hard anyway."
I hope I have completely missed the whole point in the post though, because it feels insulting to the people having investing lots of time in it, to the people using it, and to yourself altogether.

stonesense is also a good part of dfhack, as well as showmood.

Most people think it's all about plainly cheating because of the name, and there are plain cheat commands (spawn liquids and others), but some are just utilities or read informations that we don't have access to directly.

Showmood is great when testing if the new materials are correctly recognized, as you can see what they ask for exactly.

vdig is kind of limit cheat, as it designate the whole mineral vein to be dug out, even the parts you don't see yet, but you still need to see at least a tile of it, so it just speeds up the designation.

@UncleCern:
That would be for experimented players only, knowing what lies on these caves down there that this mod adds.
Could be a nice challenge though, requiring the usage of magma to melt ice and/or breaching the caves for their potential water.

Good, now these two will go into military stationing outside of the fortress, hopefully before they make too many comrades...

Nice to see what you did there with those though, but it was on by default in the settings, when you said you would put it to false, try to change it next time or all the new players will not give it many more tries after some of those I think.

Other graphical bug detected: "Exceptional" becomes the "unknown character" square in TrueType.
It's sad when you begin to have only masterpieces and those, it really messes the whole list.

Sadly suffering from the random-ish black squares too.
And a problem with gender in embark.

And some problems with text spacing, but that might come directly from toady hard-coding the spacing.

Apart from that, most menus are clearer than without truetype (Glass workshop anyone?), and I like the new font.

No, the truth is you already had a good amount of wealth before, because there is a minimum requirement in wealth for moods.

Basically, start the game a little slower (no more mass craft at the start basically), and all will be much smoother.
