It is not possible to do so as both heavy and light aquifer stones/soils use the same token (i.e. [AQUIFER]).  However, fortunately most aquifers are light anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Tumblr, please go.

I have an idea for some new zones that would reduce some of the game's tediousness and give the player more control.

1. Tree Farm - In this zone trees would be cut down by your woodcutters when they reach maturity.
2. Greenhouse - Similar to tree farm in this zone any plants that grow are automatically collected by your herbalists.
3. Hunting Ground - Works the same as the existing fishing zone but for hunters instead.
4. Clear Ground - In this area dwarves would automatically clear any grass, plants, trees, and saplings from the ground useful for both dirt roads and for keeping parts of you fortress built in the dirt layers clear of obstructions.

Tell me how you feel about these and offer any other new zone ideas.

My !!science!! shows that single grasping a multigrasp weapon greatly reduces combat effectiveness even if the other item is a shield.

Creatures can be generated with scars from worldgen fights.

I always embark with Two growers one with cooking the other with brewing make several large fields and put lavish meals and brewing on repeat.  Those two dwarves can make enough meals and alcohol for any size fortress and still have plenty of meals left over for export.

Great horned owls doesn't seem to make noise in vanilla. I'm pretty sure only capybaras make noises for now.

only capybaras make audible noise many other creatures make "noise" with announcement text.

Also think starting is too slow already and making enough bedrooms is already impossible.  Besides you do realize that making an effective minecart system would be as time consuming as making a magma pumpstack a megaproject in its self.
