Thank you, Toady! Those unknown material walls were very sinister.

So you can toggle these on and off now?  Whoa cool.
These are from .07.

Thank you Toady!

Can you have a look at why In Adventure mode it's not possible to breathe right beneath an sewer grate (swimming in from an river) unless the Iron grate is 2 steps above? Some underwater areas are unnaccesible due to this. The workaround is obviously to be undead but that goes a bit against my rpg views. Bug 5576

I've got the feeling that monsters are hitting a bit too hard , will spend some time when I can to check that out and report if that is the case. Will have to compare with older version as well.

Toady, I have a question. With the new water hauling labor, does that include bringing water to the sick/imprisoned? That would be magnificent.

The related bugs on the bug tracker are still open, so nope! Your prisoners and patients are still going to die of thirst.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=2606

The game appears to be counting down from 2000 to 0 (a bit over an in-game day) and when it reaches zero, it tries to find a dwarf to feed/water the patient/prisoner AND resets the countdown even if no-one took the job. At least that is what the problem looked like in 0.34.11

Hmmmm. If the new labor is in any way related to watering patients, then it would at least make it easier to designate a dwarf to do nothing but. Darn, though. I got all excited.   ;D

Never seen that bug myself, and I've been playing since then so I'm not sure what I'm doing different. Just yesterday a dwarf child got himself caught in a cage trap (fell asleep on it in the outdoor statue garden) and he sat in the cage for at least a few months before the elves donated some wildlife for slaughter. I was going through the cages and noticed him.
As for the changes - AWESOME. I think the new version is stable enough for me to start streaming again (only once or twice a week but really long sessions). Still debating the idea of dropping it on Youtube. /shrug.

You're getting a donation as soon as my next check comes through!

...Am I missing something? Watering prisoners and patients has always been a labour since the hospital was introduced, it's just under the healthcare category. I always have one 'nurse' dwarf and one 'warden' dwarf who have their rooms right next to the prison/hospital and are burrowed if necessary.

EDIT: Nvm, I read the bug report, nasty.
You can, ofcourse, if looking for workarounds, just set up a channel underneath the prison, and let dwarves onto access via grates if you don't feel like creating wells everywhere.

Invasion works again!

Took a 40.05 fortress and copied all the relevant files in 40.08.

Killed the gray parrots to avoid the flyer problem and then.. 2 ambush in like 2 weeks!
