Plump helmet men should sometimes spawn in farm plots when farmers are harvesting, they should also have switchblades large daggers when they spawn so they can stab the unsuspecting farmers.

Plump helmet men should be able to make pipe bombs.

Kobolds leave useless crap in place of the items they steal.

Kobolds leave literal useless crap in place of the items thay steal.

New marine vermin: Urechis unicinctus
If spotted by a dwarf, the dwarf will laugh so hard all sleeping creatures on the map experience noise equivalent to 50 tiles being mined at once and the dwarf risks death by suffocation if low endurance.

Yeah, "starwars intro" doesn't seem like the worst way to introduce the world's story to the player. Provided that the game can figure out which snippets are interesting enough to show, at least. :v

In 3, Urist was present in The Halls of Shambling.

New designation:  Dig without care.

This designation will cause miners to dig carelessly, with significantly higher chances of destroying ores and gems. 

In addition, there is also a significant chance that the miner(s) will accidentally mine out tiles that are adjacent (or at least “close”) to the designated tiles, but not actually designated.  The probability of this happening increases significantly if the tile is the only thing separating the fortress from magma, water, a forgotten beast or titan, hostile wildlife, werecreature, invader, or other existential threat to the fortress or it’s denizens.

Wet tile cancellations still apply to the actually designated tiles

Half-ghosts can switch between ghostly and living at will.

They switch between ghost and living randomly while tantruming. If they're inside a wall when they become living, they get atomsmashed. If they're in a tile with a non-prone creature when it happens, both of them fuse into a single creature, usually resulting in death horrific chimeric entities a toad.

I found a surprisingly useful feature.

Roots of a tree can spawn twigs and fruits of the tree around them if there's space. You can in principle access fruit trees from below the tree, without putting a dwarf in danger or walling off the tree.

So can you like dig a massive pit just under the tree (while sparing the roots) that goes to your food stockpile to automate fruit picking for, say, cherries?
