- This patch adds a hundred animals that went extinct in the real world. Each of these animals also gets an animal person. You'll need to create a new world to see them. There are five options for the frequency of the extinct animals. You can have them in untamed wilds, small isolated areas, every wilderness, or even domesticated by most civilizations. You can also keep them extinct.
- This release also brings a graphical update to existing animal people. You can now see their held equipment and some of their bodywear. This should work in your old saves without a new world.

Anniversary Celebration Stream[edit]
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original Dwarf Fortress, we are hosting a celebratory stream on August 5th. You'll see Tarn and Zach play the original build from 2006, and we'll also be giving out awards to gamedevs and creators who have inspired us over the decades. You won't want to miss it! More details to come, but feel free to follow the Kitfox Twitch channel ahead of time.
Celebrating Dinos![edit]
We received a sample of the gorlak plushie that will be included in the Serenity Forge 20th Anniversary box set. It looks like he's also encountered some dinos of his own kind! You can still pre-order the set which includes the gorlak plush here.
Other changes[edit]
- Added setting to display all errors to Game tab and init.txt
- Added announcements for stuck citizens and creatures.
