I appreciate the insights.  Half the fun of the mod is seeing the attributed creature names, 'water buffalo bone drawbridge', etc.  Daisy-chaining dump zones works for now, but hopefully stockpile settings can be updated in the future.

I tried [MATERIAL_TOKEN:BONE] and [IS_STONE], no dice.  Unless I'm horribly missing something, this is the reaction in its' entirety;

[REACTION:MAKE_BONE_BLOCKS]
   [NAME:make bone blocks from 4 bones]
   [BUILDING:BONE_CRAFTER:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:4:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [USE_BODY_COMPONENT][ANY_BONE_MATERIAL][UNROTTEN]
   [MAX_MULTIPLIER:1]
   [PRODUCT:100:10:BLOCKS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
      [MATERIAL_TOKEN:IS_STONE]
   [SKILL:BONECARVE]

The Church of Prime (Optimus) makes a good case

Is there a technical or design reason why a tomb zone can not support multiple coffins? (each coffin must be its' own zone)

Because dwarves claim zones right now, not furniture. It's exactly the same system as bedrooms and offices.
You'd need to make a new system for tombs which allowed claimable furniture to work the way you want it to.
(Not that it wouldn't be a good idea, and there are several suggestions threads asking for it already).

Also eventual plans for a catacombs zone were mentioned in an earlier fotf:

I was considering adding a 'catacomb' style zone that works like a dormitory for the dead.  Have to tweak coffin 'ownership' a bit to make it work.  (I don't remember if it technically counts as catacombs if the bodies aren't in the open rather than enclosed in individual caskets.  We'd still be using individual caskets here, just no doors.)

Much obliged.

Ore walls are vibrant and detailed, awesome.  However, as soon as you smooth a natural ore wall, it changes to something resembling peanut butter.  Burnt peanut butter even.  I suggest that smoothed ore walls retain the look style of rough stone ore walls.

I have tried to make the mouse work, I really have.  It's just so slow, and the lack of macros makes mass-designations actually painful with all the clicking.  The Feb. FotF said that keyboard interface is tentatively coming with the QoL focus.  All that got me thinking; a final sendoff for pre-mouse Classic.

There will be no particular theme, because I want to see everything in a single Fortress.  All the world's books in a grand library, striking back at the goblins with raiding, mega projects for both water and magma.  I have a special WorldGen that will create every feature imaginable.  I'm also thinking of adding a few mods for spice.  Specifically, crafting and hostile civs.  Maybe bring back the original Giant Desert Scorpion (though that would require a desert biome obviously).

Drop a line if you expect to have time over the next few months. (Also biome/feature requests)

Sorry for the necropost but are there any plans for someone to update this pack? (Not sure if the newest classic version supports this) Or port it to the steam version if that's possible.

This pack is basically the look I think of when I think about Dwarf Fortress

I have been given to understand that all the traditional tile sets will not work in 50.x+ due to the way that Premium rewrote the fundamental interactions for how graphics work.  I do not know what would be involved in updating the old packs.

Mhmm.  This along with finally disabling the tutorial messages.
