DF Suggestions / Biomes being an option in search menu
« on: May 06, 2016, 10:50:45 am »
So I am personally really surprised that it has yet to be implemented to be able search the embark map for specific biomes. AFAIK there are only about 20 different biomes, eg plain savanna and what I want this for mainly volcanos. I mean each square is already tagged as being of a certain biome so I feel like this would simply be an additional field with a simple bool to check whether its biome is the biome selected. Personally I think this would be an incredible update with a relatively simple bit of programming, however I don't program DF so I don't actually know. Please tell me what you all think and I hope this reaches the grand Toady.

Utilities and 3rd Party Applications / Military uniform challenge.

To my knowledge there is no copy and paste file for DF that you can move between saves in order to import military uniforms. Therefore I am issuing a challenge to the many experienced modders of Dwarf Fortress. Make a script or plugin for DFhack that allows for a person to export their uniforms and then import them into a save game. Honestly the uniform assignment is one of the most difficult aspects of the game for me specifically and I always want make themed squads, like the Night Watchmen from Game of Thrones or similar type things but I don't' because having to redo it every time is an incredibly daunting task. This would also allow a more gentle learning curve for newbies becuase they could download a file with a could of tried and true squad setups so they don't deal with ammo mixup errors because Urist McDrunkenMarksman forgot he needed a quiver or tried to take down an elephant with wood arrows. I just really feel like this is something that hasn't been done but really should be. Thank you for your time may Armok Bless your Fortresses with Elf Blood Rains.
