This episode we talk about version 50.11 of Dwarf Fortress, and 50.11-r2 of DF Hack.

If you are interested, I'm doing a livestream this morn

Highlights

Search! Search! Search!

We finally have search widgets for many of the screens with long lists. No longer will you need to scroll endlessly to find Bim Zasitisos, Cook. You can just type "bim", or "cook", or maybe "knifedales", since that's what "Zasitisos" translates to and it's the name you see in some contexts.

Preserve tomb assignments

Have you noticed that your nobles don't actually get buried in the nice tombs you assigned to them while they were alive and demanding nice tombs? This is because DF loses track of that assignment when they die, which is amusingly and tragically ironic.

Enable preserve-tombs in the DFHack gui/control-panel ("Fort" and "Autostart" tabs) to keep track of those tomb assignments and ensure they are actually used for their intended purposes.

Starting a new fort series, thought I'd share it to the fediverse.

I'm also looking for fediverse alternatives for streamers ... I'm not really concerned about monetization or anything like that, just looking for alternate places to host my content and someday break the youtube chains.
