I see a lot of tag suggestions, and I just wonder if perhaps it would be best to just have a tag suggestion megathread?

Done.

Where tho?

That depends entirely on how the system would work when actually in the game. It could be specific, where a unit has to move to the items and interact with them, it could be abstract, like just sitting at a pot and watching the product manifest.

ay ay ay, mamma mia... :/

I added "The bedroom" and overall cleaned up a lot of junk and fixed some spelling errors and formating problems.

Im curious what the tavern update will bring, because if what I hope happens will happen, then it may also be possible to just set up a "shop" zone, not just a trading depot.

EDIT : Or, trading depots would be exclusively for bartering in bulk with other political entities, while shops may deal in more abstract notions of value and... I just really want to import a bulk of marble in one caravan and export all my turkeys...

The way to go about this kinda ties in with my zones thread...

But other than that, I am all for a bit more autonomy in the fortress as long as it is meaningful and makes itself notable.

EDIT:

... nonsense...

My God... The Toad walks among us...

I would rather have the games training system be tweaked slightly. This sort of fix seems rather gamey and overall unsatisfying. The idea is that the military is where the dwarf comander should order the dwarves, so maybe thats a better fix than making a labor for it.

I don't thinkk you really lazy -- i have seen two your suggestion and they are really huge amounts of intresting text... Moreover, i have seen good answer to my questions(Questions have arisen when I reading) before i asked it... So I think you spent a lot of time to it...

Thanks, that means a lot. I put it up for voting. It's called "Emotions, desires and love should be a driving force behind the actions of entities in the world."

I have a lot of inspiration but I have incredibly low willpower irl. I just get bursts of desire to do something and then long periods of self loathing where nothing gets done and I hate myself for not getting anything done. I don't know how to help it. Those complex threads mostly are just me sitting down one day and realizing that I wana do this cool thing and writing about it.

Wut?

Posting to watch

No, is not stupid, don't say that. I think it would be as difficult as Toady find it to be. That's it, since he's the only one working on the code no one else could really know.

However I can feel that since hospitals, and now taverns and temples (specially taverns and hospitals which do host complex interactions) are up, it would be relatively simple to do it.

Now, let's remember that, precisely Toady is the only one working on the code, and he works on it depending on whatever he feels like and how he sees fit. Thus even when something might look simpler (or even complex) to add to the game, is up to him to do it, whenever he wants, which might be anywhere in the future.

As for him applying this, yes, it is the plan on the long run. I don't have the quotes right now but if I recall right he stated that this would be the next step on workshops, current workshops being mere place holders. Regarding this, one can imagine once that's up, carpenter workshops would require assorted tools, nails, workbenches, chairs, tables, cabinets... and so on with each kind of workshop.

I would very much like to see how that works out, because we still know very little about how the taverns actually interface. Is it a crude "define this zone" like a pasture/hospital thing or is it more like a very special burrows? Only time will tell. As for the implementation, I think it would take some time because figuring out all the connections, ironing out all the kinks and polishing it all would be a huge buren for out precious Toady. But let's ask him what he thinks about that.



Hmm....
