Behind the scenes
 
  
-> Materials
 
The material system has been rewritten, and just about everything is made from a material now
 
It is now possible to track the identity of certain materials, such as blood spatter.
 
The color of a base material will now have more affects - a wagon made out of featherwood will reflect the color of the wood
 
Material breath weapons are possible, and be made of any material. These are mainly linked with poisons, and when inhaled by a creature, they will become poisoned
 
Small amounts of certain materials (blood, snow, etc.) can accumulate in a tile
 
For example, if enough liquid gold accumulates in a tile it will cool into a glob of gold
 
This also works for materials such as liquid (molten) metal, which will cool into a glob which can then be used to melt down into a bar
 
Weapons and armor now use various "real world" attributes to calculate their effectiveness. Each material (rock, metal) uses the following:
 
Density
 
Impact/Shear Yield
 
Impact/Shear Fracture
 
Impact/Shear Elasticity
 
Edge
 
 
-> Raws
 
Entity positions are now stored in the raw folders, allowing for custom positions through modding, as well as editing existing positions as you see fit
 
These include the new military positions
 
Attributes have also moved into the raws, allowing you set all sorts of values such as how fast an attribute increases
 
Many objects - trees, plants, stones, etc. - now have material lists in the raws
 
Some raws have been merged, such as trees/plants, and stones/metals
 
A region's raw files are now stored in their respective save folder
 
 
-> The d# series
 
Translucent tilesets are supported, using PNG.
 
The DF window can be resized on the fly.
 
The grid size is autogenerated on startup; such init.txt settings are ignored.
 
Current desktop size is used for fullscreen size if fullscreen resolution is set to 0x0.
 
The DF window can be zoomed on the fly using the mouse wheel. There are two modes, it defaults to mode 1. Pressing mouse wheel switches modes. Pressing F12 resets mode 1, not 2. In mode 1, the zoom from mode 2 is not visible. (And yes, you can use both at once)
 
The keyboard input system has been totally rewritten:
 
You can bind multiple keys to one command
 
You can create keyboard macros
 
Input bindings are divided into sections
 
Lots of bugfixes and performance improvements.
 
 
-> Arena
 
Arenas are now in the game, accessed via a special mode that has to be turned on it in the init file
 
You can make as many creatures of any type a you want, equip them with any items you want, etc.
 
Items can be made out of any of the current logical materials
 
You can also assign them to teams or have them go at it solo
 
The arena itself contains a flat fighting place as well as a pool of magma and water
 
 
Combat
 
 
-> Squads
 
The fortress guard is considered a squad under the sheriff, and the royal guard is considered a squad under the Hammerer
 
Captains can be appointed under your military leader and lead squads
 
There is a system in place that will try its best to keep your schedules staffed, going so far as finding replacements when soldiers get hungry/tired, as well as forcing soldiers to stay on duty if no replacements are found
 
You have complete control over how squads handle rations - food and drink stored in backpacks and flasks - and alcohol can now be stored as a drink option
 
Champions are no more. Rather, a single champion is an appointed position that your baron/duke
 
"Lord" soldiers aren't restricted in their weapon choice, and can be made into a civilian again
 
Beds, racks, stands, boxes/chests and cabinets can now be assigned to squad positions.
 
You can now use the note making system to lay out stations and patrol routes for your squads
 
Sparring has been redone.
 
A dwarf skilled in one skill can teach students via demonstrations of how to fight. This is set up in a classroom environment, so no actual sparring takes place (less dangerous)
 
Even slightly skilled dwarves can teach people below them
 
There are also instructor monitored drill and sparring sessions
 
"They can currently teach weapon skills, wrestling, dodging, punching (grasp strikes), kicking (stance strikes), shield and armor use, yeah.  They can also teach general close-quarters/ranged combat principles"
 
Personalities play a role in these lessons. Naturally lazy dwarves will have a harder time learning and concentrating, though they can overcome them with skill/attribute increases
 
An instructor's personality is also taken into account, as a naturally reckless instructor is more willing to send green recruits into sparring sessions
 
Squad selection/orders now can occur in real time
 
The entire military menu has been entirely redone
 
You can issue orders to several squads at once or several individuals across different squads
 
Kill orders are now possible. You can select any creature your fort does not control to be killed
 
You can give squads nicknames if you wish
 
You can also give your barracks nicknames to help keep them separated
 
 
-> Squad Equipment
 
There is now a "quartermaster" position who handles various equipment delegation
 
You can now establish "uniforms" for your soldiers. With it, you can assign specific armor, weapons, and other such equipment that you want all soldiers in a squad to wear.
 
This allows for you to establish either equipment protocols (I want this squad to carry a sword and a shield) or literal uniforms, such as all guards wearing dyed blue cloaks
 
Soldiers know the difference between training, battle, and civilian equipment, and when/how to switch between them, as well as how to store them, which is usually done in barracks via boxes (which can be assigned to squads)
 
The above also extends to woodcutters/miners, who know how to properly retrieve/store their picks and axes
 
Equipment can be stored in squad boxes
 
You can now handle ammo allocation by material, so you can set aside metal bolts for battle and wooden bolts for training. Squads will maintain such ammo counts on their own
 
You can also handle ammo by type, so that you can have a squad that only uses bolts/arrows left over by invaders, etc.
 
You have similar control over Hunter ammo
 
Training weapons are in now, made at the carpenter's shop. Due to the nature of the material rewrite, these weapons lack of edges make them far less dangerous
 
Dwarves can handle any weapon now (they are not restricted to the current 6 weapons).
 
Blowdart squads confirmed
 
Critters now become familiar/accustomed to items they use often, such as armor and weapons. Being familiar with an item gives them better rolls during combat
 
They can also become attached to items and will refuse upgrades
 
Items keep track of creatures they kill now, and that will show up in the legends mode
 
Items can become "named" - raised to a semi-artifact level - if they have seen a lot of battles or have killed someone of a historical figure era-level of importance
 
Dwarves will now fill up their quivers properly - they will not go into combat with 1 bolt in their quiver if they can help it
 
You can assign specific items to units (useful for cases such as artifacts)
 
Dwarves assigned to squads will go train in their free time if they have self-discipline. This includes individual drilling practice
 
1/3 of dwarves have a "favored" weapon
 
 
-> Weapons and Armor
 
All weapons now have multiple attack types (a sword can use a thrusting attack, or with the blade itself, or even the pommel) and each attack can do a different type of damage
 
Armor skill and quality of the armor increases your "deflection" roll, which alters the effective force of an attack
 
Weapons don't use hardcoded % damage anymore, but rather, use their material's various properties in order to determine damage
 
The swing velocity of a hammer is determined by the strength and weight of the hammer itself, among other things
 
Woven/Chain items have a "structural elasticity" property (compared to plate/scale)
 
 
 
 
The new combat reports. Note the date, ability to zoom on location, and more flavorful descriptions
 
 
-> Attacks
 
Combat has been entirely rebalanced due to the new material and body changes
 
Small creatures are now able to take on larger creatures by pecking away at their bodies, something which was impossible in the old version.
 
Thanks to the material rewrite, though, a well armored knight will fare without many problems against 20 groundhogs.
 
Multiple small attacks will have a cumulative effect
 
"I had a dragon fight some lions, and after a little bit of dragonfire and close combat, I ended up with a dragon covered with the gramatically-in-progress "lion melted fat spatter"."
 
Attacks take into account the position and relative nature of the body. Attacks won't "loopity-loop" through the body
 
Temperature transfer between wrestlers is now possible, so think twice before wrestling that spirit of fire
 
Stuck-ins also transfer temperature
 
Ranged damage has been nerfed, in addition to bolts making "logical" paths now. The firing rate remains the same
 
There's now a notion of a "squared shot", in that your attack could hit someone's arm full force, but if you didn't hit in in the right area, the bone would not break. This helps many problems, such as with bolts, as well as axes/swords not lopping everything off everything you swing
 
Twisting your weapon in a wound has been balanced, and won't just amplify damage forever
 
Toady on the path of the force of an attack, "The armor is all checked in order from outer to inner, then it gets at the tissue layers, altering the character of the attack as it goes"
 
Attacks can pass through a wound sufficiently large enough
 
Force from blunt weapons can transcend layers. For instance, a hammer can bruise the skin while breaking the bone underneath
 
As such, plate armor's benefits are generally ignored by blunt attacks, and leather armor would prove to be more effective
 
"Solid breath can take the form of a forward moving dust puff that accidentally knocks people out due to some cave-in code.  When I fix that, KOs make or may not be a parameter.  Solid breath can also take the form of a solid glob (a small one right now) that is hurled like a stone.  It might as well be a thrown stone of the solid.  Solid breath can also be an undirected dust puff (also accidental knockouts)."
 
 
 
Creatures (general)
 
 
-> Attributes/Skills
 
The attribute system has received an overhaul. There are now 19 attributes split across physical and mental. They are:
 
Body:
 
STRENGTH
 
AGILITY
 
TOUGHNESS
 
ENDURANCE - this'll take some of the weight off of toughness and control your exertion.
 
RECUPERATION - somebody suggested "resilience". I don't really like any of the names... in any case, this will control the healing of your physical wounds.
 
DISEASE RESISTANCE - the more time I spend on infection and venom, the more this will matter for this release. There will also likely be a notion of specific immunities, some of which you could gain with exposure or whatever ends up making the most sense.
 
Soul:
 
ANALYTICAL ABILITY - thinky stuff.
 
MEMORY - remembery stuff.
 
CREATIVITY - being able to make up neat stuff.
 
INTUITION - being able to get stuff.
 
FOCUS - being able to get into stuff.
 
WILLPOWER - being able to keep on with and cope with stuff.
 
PATIENCE - being able to handle not doing stuff.
 
SPATIAL_SENSE - sense of surrounding stuff.
 
KINESTHETIC SENSE - sense of own stuff.
 
LINGUISTIC ABILITY - all of the wordsy stuff.
 
MUSICALITY - musicky stuff.
 
EMPATHY - being able to feel other peoples' stuff.
 
SOCIAL_AWARENESS - being able to manage and handle social stuff.
 
Creatures now have souls, and these souls serve as storage for a creature's mental attributes and skills
 
Creatures can have multiple souls, though there is no such use in the current version
 
Attributes and skills can now "rust" if the attribute/skill is unused for a long period of time. The more rust the skill or attribute has, the less effective it is, and high enough rust will actually "delevel" the ability. Rust can be worked off by simply using the attribute or skill in question
 
Attribute/skill display system has been redone so as to not overwhelm the player
 
Skills have been split up into 15 logical groups to make assigning skills easier
 
Creatures now have a "situational awareness" skill, which handles a creatures ability to deal with surprise attacks and ambushes
 
The wrestling has been split into the following skills:
 
Wrestling
 
Dodging
 
Grasp strikes
 
Stance strikes
 
There are also general melee and range attack skills (which help with combat rolls but are separate from "axe mastery", etc..)
 
Attributes and rust rates are linked to specific castes, so you could have brutes intermixed with brainy creatures of a single race
 
"Ceilings of attributes are a percentage of the starting value.  So a strength 1000 dwarf might attain 2000, and a strength 750 dwarf might attain 1500."
 
 
-> Appearances
 
Creatures are now unique to each other with different appearances, including hair color, facial features, etc.
 
These are visible in adventurer mode as well
 
Different color patterns are also available, like striped or mottled
 
Creatures can also be fatter/taller/etc. than usual. This affects their size. Fatter creatures can last without food longer
 
Creatures have a metabolism now, which deals with how fast they heal and how fast they burn fat
 
Fat creatures also move slower
 
The trimming of hair/nails is also possible for civilized creatures, and they will grow long and unkempt without such activities
 
Creatures inherit appearances from their parents. This include dominant/recessive genes
 
As one example, you can use this system to breed your dogs to a certain color/size
 
Layer trimming/caring uses style definitions from a culture. Some cultures may grow beards, others may shave them. Prisoners, etc. may be forced to adapter these new styles
 
Speaking of beards, as if it wasn't obvious by now, but this means Dwarves finally have beards
 
On a more startling note - so do elves!
 
Creatures can now be part of a caste, and this may govern many things, such as their profession, appearance, etc.
 
 
 
 
The new description window
 
 
 
-> Bodies
 
Tissues now come in layers. You must bypass a layer to reach one below it. Some layers are dependent on others (hair can only exist if there's skin underneath it, etc.)
 
Hair acts as a layer on skin. It can come in many different styles (sparse, strands, etc.)
 
Hair grows and eventually grays over time. It can be trimmed, and if left alone it will become shaggy and unkempt
 
Body parts and tissue layers can be made out of any material you want, such as for logical creatures like Iron Men, and illogical abominations like Dwarf Lung Men
 
It's now possible for some creatures to be made out of solid material, such as iron men, who are much harder to fight
 
You can also have hollow body parts, perhaps filled with air or other materials
 
Some layers can serve as protection, such as chitin layers. Bone layers also protect organs, such as the skull protecting the brain
 
Creatures now have teeth, rib, cheeks, eyelids, nails, and lips. Teeth and ribs are now individualized, but rather are tracked by groups (i.e., top left molars, etc.)
 
Creatures also now have tendons and ligaments, and are made from the "sinew" material
 
Creatures store energy from their food, getting fatter and more muscular.
 
Fat affects such things as insulation, effects on speed, etc.
 
Strength also increases muscle size. Both have an effect on a creature's total size
 
Guts are realistically colored - crazy stuff
 
It is now possible to "flay" a creature. Have fun
 
We've also got water freezing into frosty stuffs on people if they get wet and then step out into the cold, and steam coming off of spirits of fire in the rain.
 
Skeletal critter now have their bones held together by rotted ligaments
 
 
-> Thoughts
 
Thoughts" of a dwarf have been redone. The new screen includes their current thoughts, age/birthday, physical description paragraph, a description of their attributes, their likes/dislikes, and their mannerisms. Also included are descriptions for their wounds/scars
 
A dwarf's birthday and age are stored in their profile now
 
Dwarves now have mannerisms, such as "always scratches his head when he's trying to remember something", "laughs at his own jokes" or "talks to herself whenever she's bored". There are 65 types with 3-5 situation qualifies
 
 
 
Fortress Mode
 
 
-> Organization
 
Burrows! Burrows are areas in your fort where dwarves live and work in. You can assign these areas like zones and assign dwarves to them. Dwarves will only use workshops, rooms, etc. in burrows they are assigned to
 
There are a signifigant number of ways to utilize burrows, from restricting certain mining expeditions to skilled dwarves, to making noble districts, to setting "emergency" zones for civilians to flee to, etc.
 
You can set soldiers so that they defend certain burrows. If an enemy enters a burrow they know enough to stop what they're doing and head towards it to defend it
 
You may choose and appoint someone as your baron when you reach barony status. You can elect not to have one as well
 
There are now "code generated" positions, such as priests who are named after the god they worship (Priest of Ciramore, etc.)
 
Dwarves won't immediately drop everything if they find themselves hungry or tired, and will try to finish their current job first
 
There's a difference between sleeping barracks and squad barracks
 
Liaisons will be be generated from scratch if they die
 
 
-> Workshops
 
Statues and figurines now have art associated with them
 
"Statues of specific dwarves get the dwarf's name right in the item name."
 
Custom workshops are now able to be modded in, allowing you to set up custom reactions
 
These can support corpse harvested items, like shells/horns, and might use barrels/other containers
 
You can now make crafts out of horn, ivory, teeth, and other new body parts
 
These include dragontooth rings and ivory crowns
 
Butchery has been overhauled due to the new body part systems, with creatures yeilding many more parts for consumption
 
It is now possible to have automated fishing cleaning and fat rendering
 
 
 
Statues now have art associated with them
 
 
 
 
Some new crafts you can make
 
 
 
-> Alerts and announcements
 
The alert statues (i.e., "Stay Indoors") have been entirely redone. You may set several custom alerts with user defined reactions. For instance, you could set a "Underground Attack" alert where you force soldiers to equip melee weapons and head to a predefined location
 
These alerts can also be assigned to civilians, such as telling them to flee to the great hall
 
Combat reports have been redone in hopes of consolidating sentences and making it more interesting to read
 
Combat reports are separated into combat, sparring, and hunting reports. You'll see a notification on the side of the screen letting you know a combat report has been generated.
 
They are also timestamped
 
You can choose different options for each announcement, like whether you want it to pause the game or recenter your view
 
 
 
Healthcare
 
 
-> Doctors, hospitals, and how to cure what ails you
 
Hospitals are used like zones. Items it can used within these zones (beds, tables, boxes) are allow for hospital use
 
They also use a new item, called a traction bench
 
Doctors can "prescribe" treatment, such as bedrest, using splints for broken bones, amputation for infected limbs, and surgery
 
Doctors will set bones for simple fractures, use traction for difficult overlapping fractures and use surgery for disgusting compound fractures. They also excise rotting tissue and amputate limbs too rotted off to save.
 
The system where dwarves heal on the season change is gone
 
Wounds are dressed with bandages, which speeds healing and slows bleeding
 
Sutures make wounds heal faster
 
Sutures can be ripped out in combat, causing pain/bleeding
 
Crutches are now in the game, allowing one legged dwarves/injured people to walk normally (as opposed to crawl). They will move faster as they get comfortable with their new crutch
 
Casts are also in
 
Creatures can now clean the filth they acquire due to various materials, like mud, blood, vomit, etc.
 
As such, soap has a use now, which deserves its own bullet point
 
You can appoint a "chief medical dwarf" to handle the various medical information, which requires the "Diagnosis" skill
 
What type of various medical information? "unit wounds/status/required treatments/medical history, etc."- Think of it like the bookkeeper
 
Dwarves are more proactive in saving wounded people, and will do what they can in regards to bleeding on the way to the hospital
 
"Eyelids clean the eyes so you don't have to soap them off, but if an eyelid is torn off, I think they might soap the eyes"
 
Patients can use soap/water to clean wounds and grime to reduce infections. Sutures, casts, etc. will reduce infection as well
 
All cloth and thread items have associated lengths/areas now. Threads are use for sutures (thus, one "thread" item could be used for multiple sutures) and cloth is used for bandages. Items in this way aren't split (ala coins or bolts), but rather, they're consumed in pieces
 
Unskilled or apprentice doctors can make mistakes when treating a patient or doing surgery
 
"Healthcare" as a skill is gone. It's been replaced by 7 new labor settings, 5 unit types, and 6 new skills
 
There are different type of doctors associated with the skills
 
Dressing wounds, diagnosis, surgery, setting bones, suturing and walking with crutches appear to be the new skills
 
 
 
The new wound coloring system
 
 
 
-> Wounds and injuries
 
The current 15HP-per-body-part system has been dropped in favor of individual wound tracking
 
The above also allows for scars
 
Open wounds can get simple infections, which results in oozing pus, slow healing, and can even kill.
 
Rotting wounds smell and contribute to infection levels, as does grime buildup
 
Tissue layers can boil off when exposed to extreme heat
 
Phantom pains are gone
 
You can damage a creature's motor and sensitivity nerves. Motor damage prevents that part from work, and sensory nerves makes you lose feeling in that body part
 
Partial and compound fractions are now possible
 
Fractured bone can be knocked inwards to cause damage to organs, like forcing a jagged piece of skull into the brain. Bones can also pierce layers, like having bone sticking out of your skin
 
Guts are under pressure and can pop out of a wound
 
Injured creatures can continue to work if they are treated. A miner who breaks his left hand will go back to mining with his right hand (after his broken hand is set in a cast)
 
"There are lots of wounds that won't heal now if they aren't treated (aside from the nerve stuff, the three kinds of bad breaks won't heal if not treated), and infected wounds heal very slowly."
 
 
-> Poisons
 
Types of poison effects: pain, swelling, oozing wounds, bruising, blisters, numbness, paralysis, fever, bleeding, coughing/vomiting blood, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, necrosis, impaired vision, drowsiness and dizziness
 
Poisons can be contacted, injected, or inhaled
 
You can be immune to poisons; creatures seem immune to their own poisons
 
Severs transfer containment, so that a ripped off venom fang from a Giant Cave Spider will remain venomous. As of now you cannot use it as a weapon
 
 
 
The Underground
 
 
An example of the new caverns. Here you can see open areas and underground lakes, as well as passages linking them together
 
 
-> Underground Features
 
Underground layers have been entirely revamped, allowing for more diverse underground with new creatures, features, and other interesting goodies, such as Mushroom Forests
 
The standard amount of layers (around 15) has been scrapped and increased dramatically, upwards of 50-100 layers.
 
Each cave layer region (which is a certain depth and portion of the world map) has its own name, animal populations, civilizations, etc.
 
They also show up on the legends screen
 
Caverns now exist underground. Caverns are open areas underneath the earth, and are home to creatures, underground lakes, and other interesting features
 
Features are much more easy to discover, and almost every site is guaranteed to have SOMETHING interesting in it
 
For instance, magma is almost always guaranteed to be at the very bottom layer
 
Features can span multiple world tiles, and can be explored via adventure mode and dwarf fort mode
 
You can use world gen parameters to get rid of underground features. The default settings are set for cavernous so you're guaranteed to find cool stuff
 
Features are not instantly revealed anymore. Underground areas must be explored by dwarves prior to revealing features.
 
So yeah, the new system is to have a 60 or so tile flood out from your dwarves as they go underground, and any time they get within 30 tiles of the 60 tile flood (flags are kept when the flood got out to 30, roughly), it'll flood out again, picking up those flags and placing new ones, so it moves out in a kind of chunking way.
 
Squads can't take orders to walk into hidden zones (must reveal first)
 
It's possible for an adventurer to enter a massive underground cavern on one side of the world and journey all the way to the other
 
Bottomless pits and chasms are gone for the time being, replaced by finite caverns
 
 
-> Critters (normal and animalman-y)
 
Underground animalpeople can use crude weapons and mounts now
 
Batmen could ride giant bats and shoot poison darts at you with makeshift bloguns made from giant cave spider legs - whoa
 
Their goal is to cause as much havoc as they can before sneaking back home
 
Underground critters are "drawn" from a large population that is off site. They will replenish their population so long as a cavern has an open "edge" allowing them to spawn in.
 
The above, coupled with other changes, allows for the possibility of never-ending attacks
 
Antmen now have creature castes which separate them, including queens
 
There are also antmen nests to worry about
 
Gremlins are back. These sneaky dudes are invisible until spotted, and will step on pressure plates, pull levers, and open cages
 
There are many new underground critters
 
 
-> Critters (random beasts)
 
Random critters are now possible. They come in two flavors: "Titans", which are above ground and serve as megabeasts, and "Forgotten Beasts", who live underground
 
Random creatures are just that - random. The can have unique attacks, like firebreath or poison, as well as a random number of body modifiers like legs, wings, etc.
 
Some examples: a ribbon worm with wings made of stretched skin. An eyeless antenna lizard. A glob of vomit inside a round shell.
 
They pull from certain base types (blob, quadruped, humanoid) as well as various animal/creature features.
 
Dinosaur types (?!) are also now possible
 
They have feathers to boot
 
These are seen as the ultimate challenge of the game
 
 
-> HFS
 
The old HFS that we know of is gone, replaced by new baddies. The critters of the HFS seemed to have survived the version change, however
 
Toady has spent countless days working on the new HFS, and he's been silent on what it could entail
 
There is a lot of nasty stuff underneath, seemingly related to the old "end of the world" timers
 
It should be a bit different, a bit the same, and always a threat rather than a one-time problem
 
 
 
The World
 
 
-> Civilizations
 
There is now the notion of a split leadership. Some leaders may prefer to be "traditional" rulers, hanging back in their cities while appointing generals to command their armies. Others may prefer to lead battles and wars themselves
 
Goblin society is more violent than ever. They respect those with power, and demons will be forced to kill for their loyalty. Other goblins, however, can do the same
 
Goblins obtain their structure over the course of world generation. For instance, demons are not hardcoded as leaders, and must earn their position
 
Forgotten beasts can escape from the underground and try and pass themselves off as gods, gaining worshipers and taking control of civilizations
 
Leaders of civilizations can now own "pets" - and by that, I mean they can tame wild animals and use them in war. Giant eagles, tigers, everything is fair game
 
Elves have a great advantage here for obvious reasons, but dwarves will be able to make use of underground beasts
 
Priests are back
 
 
-> World Generation
 
"I've added the ability to specify in the world gen params the number of sky z-levels, the number of z-levels minimum between each layer (it'll often be more because of elevation changes), and the number of extra z-levels down at the bottom."
 
Much of the map feature code was rewritten to be more flexible in future expansions and updates
 
 
-> Megabeasts (general and Titans)
 
Megabeasts aren't pushovers in worldgen anymore, and will survive longer and get more kills
 
Titans in good areas will be benign/neutral to creatures
