My foals seem to die of thirst with a well and beer. I am not sure if it is a injured pony that is having these foals though.

My foals seem to die of thirst with a well and beer. I am not sure if it is a injured pony that is having these foals though.

Are just newborn pony foals having these problems or children foals, and is this happening consistently? Are any of them injured?

As giving water to a motherless infant is low priority, this may not be taking place if all of your ponies are busy or do not have the job enabled, though non-injured children should be able to drink by themselves.

I can take a look at your save if you upload and link it. (http://dffd.wimbli.com/index.php)

Thanks for the feedback.

[scotch208]

All the other infants are fine. I think it was an abandoned infant or the mother was to injured to carry it. I always keep everyone busy so it probably died due to no one giving it water.

The mother may have been injured also. I threw together a hasty militia to fight off some goblins.

Version 0.90 beta has been released with the following additions and adjustments. Updated to DF version 34.06

Taken

     Even the ancient, powerful creatures of the land find themselves at the mercy of the Darkness. Taken Giants, Ettins, Minotaurs, and Cyclops, having lost what intelligence and free will they once had, will now assault your fortress in order to prevent your descent into the depths.

     The deeper you dig, the farther you find yourselves from the light. Subterranean Taken prowl the limitless shadows of the depths, from lowly troglodytes able to blend completely into the Darkness, to the indomitable Trolls, greatly empowered in strength by their nightmare shrouds.

     As the darkness has spread on the surface, it has ensnared additional sentient beings. Taken kobolds, Tigermen, and Ogres, having forgotten their former simple lives, now walk the evil regions of the land.

The Dark Place
     

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Legends tell of the Dark Presence’s escape through the exploitation of its prison deep beneath the earth, a surreal underworld both conceptual and subjective – that flows instead of holding solid form, where imagination becomes otherworldly reality. Now, fleeing from the shadows smothering the land, the brave denizens of Equestria must unite to find and fight their way into the bowels of earth…to even hell itself…in search a way to stop the Darkness once and for all.

     First typewriter words added.

Alicorns

     The first two Alicorns in many generations find themselves in a world far different from the one ruled over by their ancestors. (Note; Semi-long world-gens are recommended before Alicorns may appear)

          Avatar of Selene

Uploaded another copy after fixing a few bugs;

Alicorn eye color added.

Typewriter word mistakes corrected and frequency reduced.

A playthrough of the new version led me to realize that torches were running out too quickly. I had used all my torches to take out a Taken Giant and his buddies, and my fortress fell soon after as I had run out of cloth.  I tried sealing my fort, but some stealth taken somehow made it in beforehand and started killing and reanimating my ponies, and when some of them turned out to be teleflankers...things got pretty ugly. 

So here's a quick fix for the torches reaction. With this, torches should now last for a couple of months, reducing consumption of cloth and wood.

[NobodyPro]

Hate to do this to ya but could you upload a RAWs only version. 58mb...

[Lycaeon]

I've uploaded a version without the soundtrack, reducing the file size to 8.05 mb.

[NobodyPro]

Thanks, I already have the soundtrack from a previous version.

Version 0.91 beta has been released with some minor additions and adjustments.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

New spells added: Time Stop, Disorientation, Healing

Fixed some errors in the spell system.

Taken frequencies readjusted. [TRAPAVOID] added to Taken megabeasts.

Environmental features and taken enemies added to the Dark Place.

Fixed some compatibility issues with 34.06.

[Lycaeon]

I've attempted to address the problem of ponies using multiple spells at once while attacking enemies, but have so far met with only limited success with the unicorn spells, most of which, being interactions, can be limited by [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYN_CLASS]. On the other hand, a master unicorn capable of both Time Dilation and Time Stop will use these simultaneously, making its speeds...quite ridiculous. I'm currently trying to work on a research system to limit the number of spells that can be utilized over time.

And a Skylord pegasus who knows Sonic Rainboom and Whirlwind will perform them at the same time with confusing results. So far the only reasonable recourse is to prevent ponies capable of multiple high-tier spells from learning more than one.

Planned features for next release
More spells
Taken Griffons
Natural skills in fighting for Taken Ponies, who are currently somewhat pushovers apart from the special types
Further expansion of the Dark Place
Material Transmutation system for unicorns

[Pokon]

Any chance for taken Draconequines?
