Marksdwarves fixed in our lifetime edition?

Previous: >>2028502

Avaliable for free at https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
or as a paid premium version on Steam or Itch.io

>What is the difference?
Both are the same game on the same version (51.xx). The free version uses ASCII as a tileset (but you can mod other usermade tilesets and graphic packs)
With the premium version you pay for a premium tileset + premium OST + access to beta branches and steam integration (if on steam).

>What is next?
Fort mode siege mechanics changes, rework and general spice up is the next update. Hatches and doors no longer stop invaders, and constructed walls vulnerable confirmed so far. Ranged combat reworked in the most recent update.
End of Lua beta and merge into the main branch

For the unknowledgeable, the Steam version of DF REQUIRES a new gen every RAW change due to mods not being baked into the save anymore.

sleep deprivation is one hell of a drug

I take back everything I said about the steam release. With DFHack how it is now I'd say the game is much better than 0.47. My biggest wishlist is to be able to zone multiple separate bedrooms with quickfort at the same time (currently it just zones everything as the same zone).

A reminder for Steam Fortress fags that the graphics IDs are hard baked into each save(ironic considering the Toad seperated the Raws from saves entirely to avoid something similar, making save sharing that much more annoying) and require a world regen to see changes IE the forgotten beasts of old saves will still look like shadowy beasts/blobs unless you regen the world
