This will prevent the Compilatron from dragging all the biters in and having them eat you while you are trying to build the steam engines, right?
Fixed that robots would still try to deconstruct trains that left their network.
Wait, does this mean trains don't stop moving, like fish, assemblers, and everything else if marked for deconstruction?
Fixed that disabling friendly fire prevented fish from healing.
There has GOT to be a great story behind how this happened. How does friendly fire interact with regeneration. Does it somehow break the regeneration timer or something?
Fixed damage technology migrations not migrating infinite technologies properly.
Is this a fundamental change to migration scripts, or did you just fix the existing migration script?

That's somewhat obvious: Fish deals damage to yourself, negative damage, but damage nonetheless. Disabling friendly fire prevents damage from your own force, including yourself.

OH. I read that as "Disabling friendly fire prevented fish from healing themselves, if you, say, shot them..."
But this makes sense....

I assume it gives an exception for any negative damage, so medians or other negative damage entities from mods also work.

Hee... fish are basically 'negative damage' capsules/grenades? :-) Can they heal biters? ;-)

I noticed this, but thought it was how it was supposed to work. I'm a terrible person for finding certain kinds of UI bugs.

Wow, I figured that was an issue with my outdated video card. Looks like it might be fixed for me too, fantastic!

Out of context, this sounds like one of those crazy DF bugfixes :D
Fixed a bug where animals could rent rooms
Hm.... so we have a mystery donor... intriguing.

Or the one where the necromancer was forced to flee after his undead minions became suspicious of him, forcing him to flee.

Dwarf fortress has the weirdest bugs....
