Well, guess what released 9 hours ago… Dwarf Fortress on Steam.
I already managed to crash it by designating a Meeting Hall as a Tavern, so day one Bugs exist and you should save the game as much as possible (Autosave only goes down to every 3 months in the settings). So if the game Crashes, it just goes poof and all your unsaved work is gone. You can have multiple Savegames of the same “Timeline” (yeah basically explained as time travel), meaning it shouldn’t be too bad of an Idea regardless.
