On the note of infecting...


What injuries do cause infection exactly? Does he have breach through the skin making the Dwarf bleed enough or is tearing the fat bruising a muscle enough? I'm always panicking an quarantining my attacked dwarfs - sometime I'm right sometime they seem fine even if hurt by a werebeast. Does anybody have details?

yes, archers are over powered

I particularly like how elite archers shoot accurately through fortifications that are 10 tiles away. I was so baffled when I first saw they do that, I was certain that I had forgotten to build fortifications in the first place.

Also, @TSTwizby: your signature's a little off, the first line seems to be misquoted to Sabreur instead of simonthedwarf.

Well they can if they are skilled enough - so can your dwarfs... but yeah I hate that too. let em at least get a penalty and not ignore the defenses completely!


I dont care how good you are - 10 decent Marksdwarfs fully armored, with iron Bolts, behind fortifications one z-level up, firing down at a single (Master)-Bowgoblin. Falling one by one to the bastard, and whats even worse - u cannot help 'em because everybody going up into the fortifications is shot the instant he putting his head through the hatch...

Legolas the Goblin???

04/29/2012  Stockpiles can now be set to give items to multiple stockpiles. You can also set stockpiles to give to a workshop, in which case the workshop will only use items from its piles. You can use this to set specific materials for jobs in a roundabout way, for example, until we get around to doing that properly. If a stockpile is set to distribute the same kind of objects to multiple piles, it'll try to keep the piles even. It works well for items like stone and furniture, but it's a harder problem when bins become involved.


Praise Armok, my prayers have been answered. Now the economy will be a lot easier to handle, and it will be easier to keep order in the Piles of Crafts and Goods my little drunken Imps are producing. It will be interesting to see Urist McIdoasIplease to work his way around this one.

I'm really looking forward to this update - less stress more time for FUN!!!

"04/27/2012 Toady One Finishing up some random things to make carts worthwhile. You can hook up track stops to levers to disengage them and you can also set the friction amount when you build them. Workshops can be set to give only to selected stockpiles and stockpiles can be set to only accept goods from their links (other piles/workshops/vehicles)."

I hope now Urist McCrafty wont run fifteen levels down, making major not-shortcuts to some worthless stone when he was supposed to use Obsidian for the Floodgate which is lying directly in front of his Workshop...
