With all these things following parabolic arcs now, I wonder if we can get real gravity for cave-ins and items dropped from bridges or deconstructed floors? The instant teleporting of some things to the ground seems out of date since we already know pretty much everything can fall realistically in the right situations.

It also seems like catapults could benefit from an overhaul. Shouldn't it be possible to set power, angle, and true bearing for a stone? Note, 'set' not 'get'. Or, to be frank, we could forgo catapults and just use minecarts.

Right now, there is only one thing in the game that is doing the parabolic arcs, and that's minecarts. Nothing else. Toady spefically said that he's not applying it to anything else for the time being to save on time for this Release.
Sieges and Siege Weapons will eventually be getting an Overhaul, probably during the fabled Army Arc.

Idk, body parts seem to fly in arcs...

and then some... :p

Since the last Dev Log particularly mentions that body parts are now flying in parabolic arcs... they now actually do that.

I'm curious if its applied to all creatures in Fort and Adventure Mode, or if it's a particular effect of the Minecart tool striking the creature.

This is now what I think when I read about upcoming features. Keep 'em coming Toady!

Aye, that.  I'm particularly wondering whether it'll be applied to creatures/objects flung by raising a bridge.

No, body parts sail away in arcs.

If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

I'm not sure which version fixed it, but my immigrants now have their jobs enabled upon arrival.  Thank you very much for this fix!  You've saved me from hours of tediously reviewing each immigrant, enabling their jobs, etc.

... you mean you don't use Dwarf Therapist to ... sort by total skill levels, lowest folk commanded to be herbalists and engraver trainees? And to detect and rename best military dorfs?

[MrWiggles]

I've never used DT.

Using DT will save years of your life and it doesn't change the game in any way (ie not cheating).

The autolabor plugin in DFhack has a similar effect.

I have another problem with migrants in this version, their skills aren't so random as they should be

I explained all in this thread

So I'm guessing the next one will be out within the week?

[Japa]

If by week you mean month, yes.
