December 4, 2016 - . | 8 Comments

Hey everyone! Life keeps happening and I irresponsibly let this group fall off my radar entirely. I'll be looking into bringing on others who are interested in covering releases and dev blog updates, and anyone who is interested is free to post in the comments here.

12/05/2015: Released Dwarf Fortress 0.42.02

Toady One: Here's a quick follow-up for some of the worst bugs. There are still some strange things going on (horses all over, duplicate companions, etc.), but hopefully this version will work much better than the last one.

Major bug fixes

Fixed world generation freeze caused by error in poetry refrains
Fixed crash from building constructions on tree leaves etc.
Fixed calendar crash from bandit bar hoppers
Fixed crash with children joining socialize activities (most common with migrant waves)
Made worship activity branch properly (so prayer needs can be satisfied)
Fixed world gen seed not repeating after abort

Other bug fixes/tweaks

Can see deity for temple in location screen
Cannot spot vampires from occupation list anymore
Fixed a few typos
