I am kind of a newb at this, do I have to download it again? Or does it auto update?

You gonna have to download it, but you don't have to wipe out anything you have, cause its save-compatible.

Well, to get all the awesome new things, like elf and dwarf sites and the new trees, you probably need a new world.  Actually, I wonder if Toady will break save compatability over the trees.

Uh... You're talking about the upcoming release.  I think he's talking about updating to the current release.

Saves are usually compatible within a given minor version; e.g. you can transfer a 0.34.08 save to 0.34.11 and it should work.  There are sometimes glitches, though.  For instance, if you tried to take a 0.34.07 save into 0.34.11 you would need to mess around in the raw files to add wheelbarrows and minecarts (or just not be able to make them at all, which would be rather bad for stone stockpiles).

Sometimes new features require generating a new world.  Depends on the feature.

It's a safe bet that trying to transfer a save across versions (e.g. 0.31.x to 0.34.y) won't work.

True that. I also don't think that the next version will be save-compatible.

Sounds from the report that doing dwarf sites is going to be pretty hard though; so we're probably a ways out from the next release anyway. XD

[BigD145]

I would like to see an arm flying across the screen during loading in the next version.

Very disappointing update. Dwarves still cannot fly to the moon. I already gave up on tactical nukes.

What, you didn't see Red Dwarf? (And that show had a one-man catsplosion. Dy-no-MITE!)

[HugoLuman]

Who else immediately wanted to build a megaproject upon seeing The Hobbit?

[Eric Blank]

I haven't seen the hobbit, but I want to build my megaproejct nonetheless. Need moar blocks!

[HugoLuman]

Sorry, only image I could find. That causeway was about wide enough for 3 wagons in the movie, just to give a sense of scale.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[Eric Blank]

If that's wide enough for three wagons, then they must have needed mountain climbing gear on those stairs.

[HugoLuman]

Oddly enough, they didn't show anyone on the stairs...
