Any chance we could have pressure occasionally equalize the top of a standing body of liquid once it fills the contain it's in? I'm talking about having that annoying one remaining 4/7 tile magically combine with the 2/7 tile at the other end of the 200 tile long tunnel so that we don't have to wait in-game months for RNGesus to allow the tiles to find eachother with the current random fluid wandering, distracting dwarves the entire time with "dangerous terrain" warnings. Might even significantly speed up the current pathfinding recalculations caused by large standing bodies of flowing mixed 3/7-4/7 water.

Perhaps even a more granular fluid model with 255 levels instead of 7? The dwarves at a dry end of long corridor filled with 7/7 water at the other end wouldn't have to wait years for any water to get to them, and we would be able to have much more interesting and/or reasonable evaporation and flow mechanics with what looks a pretty small change.

The only way to fill 1*1 holes seems to be to connect them to an existing stairwell and fill them in from the end (extremely tedious) or filling with obsidian (extremely complicated). Would be much nicer if dwarves could construct walls one level below them, as long as that area is dry. Or even better, even allowing the area to be filled if wet (and just moving the water up one tile)

Also, natural soil is essential for farming and tree growing, and also just looks much nicer than a giant flat area of stone if a player wants to flatten out an area around their base for easier navigation. This wouldn't be a problem if we could harvest natural materials like dirt and sand and also place walls of natural materials (including dirt and sand but also preferably any of the existing raw stones)

Are people still using this poll? Been no replies to this thread for over a year and some of the top suggestions seem to be outdated (second most popular is "full graphics support")
