Holy Carp! Engravings show! I am in awe...

It gets really messy thought...

I dont like caves in my fortress. So i set CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:0.
But then I do not get any plant products on embark, no seeds no plants no drinks ...

where were they supposed to grow? the depths?

Yea, guess so. But what is the best way then to avoid pre-existing caves ?

[Orkel]

Are we going to see any military/combat bugfixes in .06? The major stuff like equipment problems and combat balancing?

I know that page, I check it daily. Soon after I posted that question the devlog appeared and told that Toady is going to do equipment bugs tomorrow. Awesome coincidence and can't wait for the fixes!

Long time lurker and old DF vet... hope this isn't too OT for this thread, but I was wondering if you all might be able to answer a question.

I really want to play with all the new features, but when reading the bug reports and these threads I am a bit leery of downloading until a later release. While Toady/Baughn are working hard to get all the kinks worked out (and thank you for this!), I had a few questions:

How "playable" is the current version?
Are there any major bugs that make a feature unusable?

[hythloday]

Not sure if this happened in 31.04 or 31.05.

On the designation screen, if you hold down shift and cursor, it moves the cursor 10 units. If you hold down shift, give another window the focus, give DF focus again, and cursor, the cursor will only move 1 unit until it's received a shift-up+shift-down.

This is a big deal to me because I have dfhack's dfvdig.exe bound to ctrl-shift-d. Having to press and release shift every time I dig breaks my digging workflow quite severely.

The current version is very playable, it's just that the military is pretty fucked at the moment. Stuff like equipping soldiers is bugged to hell and so is training. And the combat has some need for balancing, for example the current blunt weapons rarely kill. If you want to play a game with as little bugs as possible, play without military, but seeing that it's a pretty important part of the game, I'm waiting for .06 with the hopefully related fixes in it to start a real fort.

Awesome!
BTW I just realized that I donated more than I usually spent on full-priced games. And, oh boy, it was worth every penny!
Considering the 2600+ hours DF entertained me so far, that's a more than fair deal, I'd say. Keep it up Toady, you are a good man.

I get no menu/game sound. Is it a known bug?
