Apparently when fruit falls from a tall enough tree, it explodes when it hits the ground. It also apparently counts as a cave-in, because it can punch holes in the ground and can knock dwarves out. I just had a dwarf die from a bunker busting plum. | ||

No but I am having a problem with dwarves climbing/falling asleep in trees. Actually it's not sleeping in trees that's the problem, it's waking up and forgetting they are in a tree, rushing out of said tree, falling and breaking their legs that is the problem. Dear Urist McDrunkclimber, Please stop drinking so much that you fall asleep in a tree. You have a bedroom, why are you sleeping in a tree? Next time I am leaving your legs broken, then you won't be able to climb at all. | ||

Holy shit these patchnotes. I think the new version can be considered stable, sadly MW will take till around autumn to update. I think as soon as my current fort explodes I'll swap over myself though. <3 PS: Stopped hyper-obese digesting dwarves from constantly recalculating insulation/mass data (ag) ...the mere fact that a bug like this can happen on accident makes me so damn happy that a dev like Toady exists. <333³ | ||

I'm also looking for screenshots to include in the OP, if you have some good one could you upload them to imgur and post links here? Glorious ASCII and Tilesets alike | ||

dwarves should no longer have a preference for eating the various fruit trees (the whole tree, not the fruit). Now that's a DF bug | ||

Its launcher allows you to easily install tilesets and lauch Dwarf Therapist plus options like sound and population cap. There are also a lot more options/utilities that come with it but I wouldn't worry too much about them at first. The Quickstart guide on the wiki (see OP again) is a good starting tutorial. It'll help you establish the vital functions of a fortress, and the rest of the wiki will help you with anything more advanced. edit: while digging for screenshots, I found a pic of my last 0.34.11 fortress that I tried to build mostly on a single level  (warning huge)+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/iYuYxMW.jpg) It's not exacly the last iteration, I then diverted the river above, to action a pump stack to get magma up there, but I got bored from waiting the construction of the 60 or so pumps that I needed to complete it. plus fps death was starting to kick in  | ||

There's still a few bugs around things like dwarves being counted as enemies if they free caged prisoners, but otherwise it runs pretty well and saves are expected to be forward compatible at this point. | ||

I'm curious though, does anyone know whether the whole world updates at every frame locally (i.e. there exists precise local coordinates for every object/creature, etc.) or there's just some kind of global heuristic model, and also is it the same with world generation. I presume yes, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere explicitly. | ||

In fortress mode, your embark zone (or at least the explored part of it) updates every tick. For the rest of the world, since 0.40, the whole world updates while you play but not every tick (a bigger interval - month? season?). In versions preceding 0.40, the world would update in-between games (when you lose/abandon a fortress). Adventure mode, no clue. edit; 40.13 is out btw. things are getting pretty stable now | ||

I presume yes, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere explicitly. The whole world is never simulated as precisely as any local area (fort or adventurer). Not in world generation or mid-game. Whatever abstractions happen work pretty well though. I've seen people have previously-retired adventurers show up to their fort as an immigrant. I've seen dwarves from previous forts move in. That's actually got a minor problem with it. Dwarves from previous forts remember their mood. So if you lost a fort to a tantrum spiral and some of the survivors show up as immigrants to your next fort, they'll still be pissed off. | ||

Also during fortress play (and perhaps adventure mode?) all invasions are successful which sort of leads to goblins spreading like wildfire and/or possibly killing off your civilization. | ||
