I've recently (9c and 9e) had a few instances of bleeding to death.  Firstly, I find it hard to gauge the bleeding risk and how close to death a pawn is sometimes, and it often comes as a surprise that they succumb to bleeding.  As well I often see individual pawns bleeding, conscious, and while they have medical skill they cannot tend to their own wounds.   I understand you can't operate on yourself, but bandage your own wound to prevent a bleeding death?  This seems odd.

[Added new styles of raid: immediate assault (no staging time) and center-drop (they drop right into your colony).]

• Added new styles of raid: immediate assault (no staging time) and center-drop (they drop right into your colony).
• Reworked early-game alerts into a todo list style. “Need growing zone”. “Build a room”. And so on.
• Now, if someone tries to get food from a paste dispenser fails, they first try to fill it, even without being assigned as a hauler or cook.
• Corpse hauling is now globally prioritized above other hauling.
• Right-click prioritize menu now gives sensible reasons why actions cannot be prioritized (e.g. haul -> “no place configured to store this”)
• Bill dialog now warns you if you add a bill that no colonist has the skill to do.
• Drafted pawns now automatically beat adjacent fires.

Ouch.  Now go play Randy Random and hope for the best!

I hope crafted meals are eventually stackable.  Having to have a square available for each meal is quite challenging.

It's been almost a month since .254b.  Just wondering how Tynan is doing on the next version of the alpha, and if/when he'll be distributing it.
