Template:AV

As the version is new, and we're still discovering what bugs are, obviously a lot of unverifiable information is going to get added to this thread. Recommend that new entries be added with "(confirmation needed)", and that people can document each bug on the discussion page. Once we have 2+ instances of a bug with some specific description of what's occurring, we can remove the parenthetical, or alternately, we can discuss removing unconfirmed bugs if there are issues in recreating them. People can also link relevant posts and threads from the forums here to help document the bugs. --Squirrelloid 08:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Please also read the 'Not Actually Bugs' section before adding bug reports! --Squirrelloid 09:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Not Actually Bugs

  • As megabeasts no longer die during world creation, the standard world creation will run until 1050 (Dwarf-Rapture) unless stopped. -- Andrei901, 2 April 2010, someone else check this please
Not a bug. World creation is *supposed* to run until 1050... --Squirrelloid 08:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Tilesets in png format don't work? Just a black display.
Tilesets must be in .bmp format, as they always have had to be. The .png format only works for the d# series. --Squirrelloid 08:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
A d## merge is in progress, .png will be supported soon.--Ar-Pharazon 01:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
  • When choosing material for a squad item(cloak in this case) there are hundreds of "forgotten beast leather" to choose from.
That's because there are lots of different forgotten beasts. Somewhat annoying? Yes. Working exactly like every other source creature for leather? Yes. --Squirrelloid 08:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Making a adamantine cloak -sometimes- results in "Urist McArmorer, Armorer cancels Forge adamantine cloak: Needs 10000 adamantine cloth." Also needed 15000 strands to make wafers. Update: this happens if you don't have enough cloths, I had 4 adamantine cloths in this case. If you have enough it works nicely.
  • "Clothier canceled construct silk bag: needs 1000 cloth": http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123552#msg1123552
This is working as intended. Cloth is now measured in smaller units than individual pieces. If anything, the bug is that the game isn't telling you how much cloth each cloth item represents. --Squirrelloid 08:52, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Cats and Dogs - Including kittens, puppies, and War/Hunting variants - are similarly listed twice.
They're listed twice because they separately list males and females. WAD. --Squirrelloid 09:05, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Embarking

  • You can embark with some rather unrealistic prepared foods (such as the aforementioned fly brains, which in real life go at about 900 thousand brains to the pound). This may be related to further issues involving vermin's organs.
  • All fish are mentioned 2x. See http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123220#msg1123220
  • I find that I am unable to add items or skill points to my dwarves on the embarking screen. I'm using Mayday's graphics pack. I'm not sure what the cause of this is or if I'm just missing something obvious.

Sites

Buildings and Zones

Combat

  • Some combat maneuvers have no effect. See: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123104#msg1123104
    1. attempt to grab a bodypart with a weapon leads to "you grab *** by *** with your *weapon* but nothing is grabbed
    2. attempt to "pinch" various bodyparts shows "you adjust you grip on***" and nothing else.
  • Alligators can wear armor (same post as above)
  • Non-alive creatures (like bronze colossi, zombies and blizzard men) cannot be destroyed (possibly because they can't bleed to death nor have their brain destroyed). However arena testing has revealed that dragonfire can melt bronze colossi. See http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123220#msg1123220
  • Shield-bashing has no effect with a wooden shield: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.msg1123499#msg1123499
  • The default settings are such that your military dwarfs will train, train, train, and possibly starve in the process. See DF2010:Military/Guide, "Getting your squad to do something", for details.
  • Dwarves will continue to train in barracks even after being removed from a squad.
  • Wrestlers suck, don't use them. They will take long years to kill an enemy, and both parties are at a higher risk of death by starvation (granted, that's pretty high because the "wrestling" is keeping them occupied).

Labors

Is this before or after setting the rock to be allowed for non-economic use in the 'z' screen?
  • Butchering animals results in prepared food items being created.
  • Wood cutter. Tried to upgrade his axe to a steel one, never cut another tree in his life after being forced to dump his copper battle axe. It's like wood cutting had a seperate profile and he was the only one excluded; Sure enough, turned one of my jewelers into wood cutter and it worked fine for him.
  • Immigrants arrive with only peasant labors enabled, even if they are legendary jewelers or whatever. They may sometimes have weird labors enabled. (Stonecrafting master lye makers) No known workaround, manually check each immigrants labors.
  • In the orders menu, there are options for auto butcher, auto kitchen and auto fishery. All three of these respond to b only, k and f do nothing.
  • Parties never end, sometimes eating up half the labor force.
You ever waited for parties to actually end in .40d? Just undesignate the statue garden or whatever and the party ends =)

Moods

Animal bones satisfies the body parts request.
  • Fey moods can request "rock bars." Upon further review, this means "metal bars"

Creature Data

Stockpiles

Arena

  • Graphics mode does not work with arena.

Military

  • Copying an empty order causes an immediate crash. See http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=83
  • Going to the schedule grid of the inactive group causes an immediate crash. See http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=156
  • Dwarves who are assigned to squads seem to be permanently affixed to the soldier life - changing schedules, training options, switching out dwarves, disbanding the squad: nothing works. All they do is eat, drink, sleep, Individual Combat Drill and take Kill orders. (multiple reports, bug incidence somewhat inconsistent, deconstructing assigned barracks sometimes helps)

Injuries

  • Dwarf with compound fracture and mangling on his toe's nail and skin never recovered, surgeons performed "surgery" on said dwarf for years but nothing ever healed. (confirmation required)
Confirmed. Red-coloured third finger of the left hand was operated on several times, up to about a month. After that, the surgeon wandered off to see to his needs, or the patient was given sustenance, thus breaking the operation.
  • Surgeon provided constant "suturing," each time using up thread. May be related to above problem.

Items

  • Eating a masterwork meal will cause the cook to suffer art defacement.
  • Corpses sitting in refuse piles turn into skeletons rather than piles of bones, in fact in the 2+ years I started my fort I haven't seen a single bone or shell in my refuse stockpile and yes, we've been eating fish too. I think bones are gone or something. Haven't tried butchering animals yet, though, so confirmation please...
Arena Mode allows skeletons to be butchered into bones and a skull. Fortress Mode should be the same
  • Butchered animals allow bones to made (confirmed by making bone bolts).
  • Quarry bush leaves do not appear in the kitchen menu and the Dwarves will not cook them, rendering them useless except for trading.
  • Obsidian does not appear in the accounting stone menu

Nobles

  • My dwarves had a bit too much fun, dying down to the last 4 dwarves, my nobles were killed and so on. This resulted in the Nobles-list to be emptied of noble-slots except for military nobles.. only happened once, but I had to abandon the fortress since the list stayed empty after the population growing to 30+ without a possibilty to appoint brokers or managers.
Confirmed. With my starting party, the expedition leader became stark raving mad, from this point the leaders noble positions disappeared from the noble screen (bookkeeping, manager, leader, etc), only military and health-related stuff remained. After he died from starvation/dehydratation, nothing changed. Jj 16:47, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Second that. Mayor/broker died, and the positions became unavailable along with still vacant sheriff slot. Manager, bookkeeper and medical/military positions remained as they were, though. --Ashmore 02:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Graphics

  • Arena does not work for graphics mode.
  • After generating a world and embarking, you may notice missing tiles. Restart DF to fix.

Currently updated through post 77 of the .31.01 bug thread, except for Arena bugs
