If you're just trying to keep the fishing bug from affecting the rest of gameplay, adding the [SHELL] token to horn and bone material types in material_template_default.txt is sufficient. The only reason you are required to fish is to obtain shell for strange moods. Every other benefit of having a fishing industry is easily accomplished in other ways. This at least lets you ignore bugs with fishing by ignoring fishing entirely. 

How do you increase the population counts in world gen? That's a nice feature of Masterwork.

I made a quick little building/reaction I was talking about earlier.

Remember to add "[PERMIT_REACTION]" and "[PERMIT_BUILDING]" to the entity files for the dwarf civ.

That really is lovely. I'd be really tempted to test changing the effect to immediate CE_VOMIT_BLOOD and add the reaction to wells. Maybe impair movement, too.

The most used method for this is the double slit method

If you don't want to copy that method of aquifer piercing keystroke-for-keystroke, consider trying to pierce a slightly different hole shape than the standard 2x4.

If you want to go with powered pumps, you can definitely do a multi-level aquifer piercing using pumps to transmit power instead of gears, but it will probably end up looking fairly goofy.

FRICK! I'm going too slowly. I just got a reminder from Deathsword.

I'm very sorry, everyone. My turn came up during a time with too many real-life commitments to do it right. Please skip me and sign me up at the end of the turn list.

Also, what the heck happened to the Hermits United Community Game??

Was I the only one who made it to ten years? My little guy showed up to the meeting with Forgotten Beast silk socks and nobody was there to hear the story!

The save looks... "good" isn't the right word. I mean, it's a working game, all right, but what the holy crap have people been trying to do here?

35 FPS aint bad, given the population, preposterous pathable areas and entire levels dug out in decorative diagonal stripes!

Skunk farming is the dominant meat industry.

I know, I'll hit 'n' and see if there's some explanations. I see "The Derp Engine: I think I broke the water wheel, guys." Right on!

26 Forgotten Beasts running around! There's got to be some serious upside to that. There's a fire breather, a gasser, one with deadly dust, and a few web flingers!

Things are surprisingly not catastrophically bad, at the moment. But boy oh boy is there some potential to change that!

I got a turn notice! I'm in the wilderness starting tomorrow, until the 29th, but other than that, I'm raring and ready to cause some damage in my own particular idiom.

If 7 days is too long of a wait, can I be bumped back one turn? I'm definitely up for getting some Fail on.

The overall time for a full circle is _around_ 400 ticks, but it seems to vary.

Sorry, have been too busy to catch up to these neat designs. They look very cool!

As far as I can tell, cart behavior is purely deterministic, but especially with derailment and collisions, a cart can have a velocity that isn't in its primary direction of motion and accumulate offset values within the tile that aren't apparent just from watching its movement. These velocities and offsets can make what's actually happening to the cart appear to vary or be random, because just knowing what tile the cart occupies doesn't tell you everything about its state. A dwarf picking up and dropping a cart always resets it to 0 offset, but I'm not totally sure what the rules for tracks and offsets are. dfhack autodump doesn't reset offsets and an autodumped cart can do very strange things.

It's worth keeping in mind when you see weird behavior, so you can probe its state tick-by-tick in the vehicles array to help diagnose things.
