Dwarf Fortress 0.47.05 Released
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up)
Here's an interim release - this is a fixer-upper for the old version, and not related at all to the new graphical stuff. This isn't meant to address everything of course, or even most things, and we'll be cleaning up a lot more bugs and issues for the Premium release itself. This one gets rid of some long-standing crashes and also attempts to address most of what we learned from the stress discussion from the forum. There are still a few unmet needs (which don't contribute much to stress, but are an eyesore), and a few outstanding ideas related to winning sieges, ending wars and unattended children, but we'll need larger changes there that are better integrated with the Premium work.
It's always a little weird splitting the bug fixes into the two major/minor categories, but especially here, where the stress changes add up to a lot, so the division below is particularly arbitrary on that score.
Major bug fixes
(*) Fixed w.g. crash related to dark fortress civs having fixed positions not held by demons
(*) Fixed zero-size creature crash
(*) Fixed off-site werebirth crash
(*) Stopped visitors from siding against fort in any conflict where the fort's tame megabeasts are involved
(*) Made cave adaption negative effects less frequent
(*) Made people get used to seeing dead bodies
(*) Stopped corpse raising, shapeshifting and non-living non-vampire visitors
(*) Made basic friendships easier to form for slow-to-love people
Other bug fixes/tweaks
(*) Made people that work outside a lot get used to bad weather
(*) Made valuable food satisfy good meal thought in addition to preferences
(*) Added some additional dwarf chat types to meet some other needs and reduce stress
(*) Stopped many minor thoughts from forming memories
(*) Removed stress from migrants (e.g. ones from old forts)
(*) Vengefulness is no longer stressful (as it was mainly related to defending others from attacking animals)
(*) Changed balance of migrant professions
(*) Patched one form of military item corruption on load (root cause not identified)
(*) Expulsion exception 'child not present' now only applies to minor children
(*) Fixed MUNDANE and HAS_ANY_CAN_SWIM for interactions/transformations

Awesome 👌
Excelsior Comrades! To the barcave!
Thank you for your amazing work! Dwarf Fortress is my favorite game and I have almost 300 hours on Steam. Keep up the good work. I'm happy to contribute this small but regular amount here on patreon. I adore this game and its creators. @Dexikovicek
I have to be honest, I bough the steam version and am just NOT able to get into because none of my hotkeys work. Does anyone know of a simple fix?
Congratulations!! You've given me so much fun with your creations I'm glad I could give a token back until you released!
I'm really digging the steam version. I have known about this game for ages, but I'm not quite good enough to fuck with ASCII. I have enjoyed many of the games it's inspired, now I can see why it's the king. Honestly I had 4 days off work when I started and played over 60 hours in that time. It's safe to say you've earned this membership from me thrilled to contribute to future development.
Congratulations.
$1/month wasn't a lot to give but would have been nice to get a post on here or something. Regardless here's my money and thank you hahaha
Worth mentioning that the steam release of dwarf fortress is tomorrow, 12/6/22 if anyone cares to support the game further.
Somehow I had never run across Dwarf Fortress until a friend of mine mentioned it a few weeks ago. I've spent probably 20+ hours reading and watching tutorials, and another 20+ hours playing the game on both Windows and Linux since then. This game is absolutely fantastic, and I've barely gotten under the surface! I might have missed the development of the past 16 years, but I plan on being around for the next 16!
Welcome aboard!
for all y'all who like me never much play, check out plumphelmetpunk on youtube for a super chill Dwarf Fortress experience. his mellow DF playlists really get me through the night sometimes.
his most recent season of Splatterface is seriously one the most entertaining things i've ever seen
I "played" dwarf fortress ONCE (3hrs) when I was 16 and quickly realized I didn't have the patience or time to learn how to play. Always told myself I'd try it again at some point. I was really stoked hearing about the UI updates and plan to pick it up when that drops.You are amazing devs for putting out and maintaining something this large and niche for so long.
I've never played Your game and probably never will. I have followed it over the years and always felt that Dwarf Fortress' existence was a good thing. It seems as earnest as any form of art I know of even if its not my thing. That also goes for the Creators (the earnest part). I hope You're well.
I've been playing and following development since 2016, when i was just 16 years old. This game changed me in a deep way. Love you guys! Someday im gonna write a book about this magnum opus. Kisses from Brasil!
I have dabbled in dwarf fortress over the years, but I am extremely excited for the steam edition! Hopefully my contribution will help get you guys by until then. Thanks for all that you do!
I've been enjoying DF for years. Glad to contribute.
Nice. I'll drop you guys a few bucks per month. I've been playing DF for ages. Down with Elves! Up with FUN! Edit: Hey, noticed I could get you guys to 10 grand per month. There we go! :D
DF 0.47.05 has been the most rewarding gaming experience I have ever had. The more I learn, the more it gives back. From game mechanics to story telling, it towers over anything I have ever played before. To not support this effort would feel wrong. Glory goes to the generous!
Only just found out about the patreon. Had to join; playing for years. can anyone help me get Dwarf Therapist to work on the latest release?
Hey there 'General' Dipper - the release you can download from https://github.com/Dwarf-Therapist/Dwarf-Therapist/releases should work with DF 0.47.05. If you are having trouble getting it running, feel free to email me at urist at dfroundtable.com
Awesome!
Woot-woot! Maybe fewer tantrum spirals now.
Awesome!
"Made basic friendships easier to form for slow-to-love people" - Can you patch this in real life?
