      First Impressions:

      The game runs much slower than the old verion, I have to use the smallest map size to get reasonable FPS.

      The new maps are pretty cool, but it makes fortress design much harder. I have had trouble finding any mountain features other than water so far.

      The z-axis is hard to deal with, it can be somewhat disorienting moving up and down levels.

      I havn't figured out how to use the new gadgets like pumps yet...

      I don't think I'll play it again until some of the slowdown issues are resolved.

        I'm going to try after disabling things for speed up. In the last version I did the same thing since temperature etc didn't do anything but slowed everything down. Personally I think stuff is a lot easier. You can pick a nice site which doesn't need any water setup anymore. My current site I can just farm at the first level down, then mine at the level under that. I think design will be much easier with 3D.
