0011430: Veils and masks protect the head instead of the face

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 08:31:20 -0700

Veils and masks protect the head instead of the face. Additionally, there is no tag support for making head items that actually cover these areas.

0013472: Trade goods in some shops do not appear in trade screen when talking to shopkeeper

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 03:25:48 -0700

Inside some shops in towns, trade goods will be visible and labeled with dollar signs as $available for trade$, but choosing the "Trade or settle debts" option in conversation with a shopkeeper will open a trade screen in which the shopkeeper's side is empty.

As an example, I provide the following saved game:

https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17747

In this save, the adventurer is in an armorsmith's shop on the east side of a north-south street. There are two items for sale in the shop, but none appears in the trade screen when talking to either shopkeeper. You will also see this bug in many but not all nearby shops.

0006685: Companions are getting robbed while the player just watches.

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:57:09 -0700

Companions being robbed while player is right next to them, fighting ensues while player can just watch.

0013507: Adventure mode merchants will always accept sell trades as long as you are not buying items at the same time

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:26:55 -0700

Shopkeepers will give you all of their money for a single piece of cheese as long as you don't try to buy any items at the same time.

It seems like the formula that checks if a merchant will accept a deal either isn't being called or has an error when selling items but not when buying or when buying and selling simultaneously.

This bug must be newish because I don't remember having this problem before the steam version.

0007013: Some Adventure Mode shops don't accept coins/currency

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:50:06 -0700

Some shops in Adventure Mode have currency listed in their "trade goods" window. In said shops, using the "ask for currency" option will give you a range of 0-0. You can barter for the stacks of currency. However, it seems to be valued as if it wasn't valid currency for that civilization (I traded some giant cave spider silk trousers I got off a goblin for a shop's entire stack of 200 gold coins). Using the "offer currency" option will also give you a range of 0-0, regardless of where you obtained the currency (I had some gold coins from elsewhere in the civ, and also tried using the stack of 200 gold coins I got from that particular shop; neither work as currency).

Note that this is technically a duplicate of 0001284, but that issue was marked as resolved, so I am submitting this report to reopen the issue since I have proof it is still a problem.

0013506: entities.lua missing adjective randomization for many item types

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:41:30 -0700

In looking at my options for what type of weapons I could designate for inclusion in one of my stockpiles, I found that "Crossbow" was listed four separate times. I brought this up in the #bug-discussion channel on the Kitfox Discord, and after a bunch of discussion, we determined that these were all most likely to be different types of crossbows that had somehow been overlooked when setting adjectives to differentiate them. After some further digging, we found that in entities.lua, some items, like the bow, had a line of code to pick a random adjective for the item — line 737:

lines[#lines+1]="[ADJECTIVE:"..pick_random(angel_item_info.weapon.BOW.adj).."]"

However, most other items in the file did not have such a line, including crossbows (lines 806-829).

I tested what would happen if I modified entities.lua to add a line for Crossbows based on the line for Bows, inserted at line 809:

lines[#lines+1]="[ADJECTIVE:"..pick_random(angel_item_info.weapon.CROSSBOW.adj).."]"

I then generated another new world, and this time found I had one "Crossbows" entry and two "Jagged Crossbows". So the fix appears to be to add a line like this to entities.lua for each type of item that doesn't currently have it.

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:05:21 -0700

Intelligent undead vanishes after leaving a location area

0013414: Linux native build leaks GPU GTT memory continuously (Windows/Proton unaffected)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:16:21 -0700

The Linux native build has a GPU memory leak causing GTT to grow continuously until system becomes unresponsive.

The Windows build running via Proton does not have this issue.

Evidence:
- Tested twice
- Linux native: GTT grew from 0.4 GB to 15+ GB in 0000024:0000020 minutes (idle at menu)
- Previous session: reached 64 GB before system froze
- Windows/Proton: GTT stable at 0.24 GB after same time period

0013502: Glazing Eatherware Pots

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:03:01 -0700

Dwarfs will glaze a pot with a 100% bar of ash, when trying to use a 99% or less the job will not be able to be qued (says requires glaze item). I found some Cassiterite and was able to que the job, the dwarf gathers a un-glazed pot the <100% ash bar AND a cassiterite ore and completes the job. The ash bar goes down 1% and the ore is not consumed.

I have not tested with just the ore as the glaze item.

0013501: Diplomats always leave unhappy and unable to have their meeting

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:50:40 -0700

It started happening like two weeks ago. Most or if not all the diplomats are leaving unhappy, didn't have that problem before. The leader/mayor is available, the office is accessible, the trade depot is accessible, I even did an office outside my base to be sure it was accessible. Just did a new game and I have the same issue.

0013504: Visitors' explanatory text overruns text box

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 13:32:07 -0700

When a visitor speaks to a citizen, they give a reason that they have come, which then appears in the bottom right corner of their overview panel where citizens' needs are shown. Sometimes this text is too long and does not appear scrollable.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:02:15 -0700

A dragon injured a bunch of dwarves, they're situated at different places in my fort. No one is carrying them to the operational hospital, and they do no transport themselves, they just stay at the same place.

0009846: Metal Mechanism made in the wrong place.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 09:35:41 -0700

When assigned from the job manager construction of metal mechanisms are assigned to a mechanics workshop. The mechanism is then made by a mechanic using metal bars and charcoal.
When assigned from the workshop metal is not an option at the mechanics.

0013503: Bins in trade interface only show value of bin itself

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:19:40 -0700

Small cosmetic thing - with the most recent update, bins only show their own value, instead of showing the value of the bin + all the contents in it. It would be nice if the UI would show the tallied value of the bin+contents as well.

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:59:23 -0700

0013497: Military gear erroneously assignet to nothing

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:38:30 -0700

Certain parts of existing military gear are marked as "assigned" but without actual position or sqad, thus blocked from new assignment and upgrades for positions.

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:37:31 -0700

The world map for Embarking does not display for the first embark after clicking "skip tutorial". The details are still present, displaying temperature, rainfall, etc, but the map is completely gone.

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 05:48:24 -0700

A log that's a permanent part of a building (e.g., windmill) is listed as only its material (e.g., "nether-cap") on the stocks screen instead of as a log (e.g., "nether-cap log").

0013435: Dwarves ignore certain bolt thrower settings

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:46:41 -0700

Dwarves will reload bolt throwers even if "Not in use", treating it the same as "Keep loaded". They also won't return them to resting orientation after firing.

0013494: Bolt thrower deconstructs on retire if contains artifact

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:10:27 -0700

A bolt thrower built from an artifact bin is deconstructed when I visit the fort in adventure mode. The non-artifact bolt throwers are still intact. Possibly affects other buildings.
