There should be more structure, as said before adventure mode is too vague. Maybe an option to summarize all of ones feats or all that will not offend that particular person/civ.

Also there needs to be a quest list, sure I could write it down but it doesn't feel the same nor does if  function the same.

1. Aren't all the inedible bodyparts and organic crap lying around annoying? Wouldnt it be nice to use it?
     Proposal: compost, either a pit or barrels, a cesspit would be good if dwarves went to the bathroom giving plumbing a realistic use. The concept of the pit is it being a        zone  containing  liquid (like a pond) waste which once full 7/7 of waste will solidify into compost/whatever.This could also add a use for leaves fallen off trees (almost no one like huge brown patches all over the map) each item would add a 1/7 unit of waste to the pit.

End result: fertilizer substitute

 2.  Tinkers bench: A bench to recycle worn out crap, clothing gives either thread, cloth or leather depending on the reagent
     Foreign weapons could be deconstructed for a chance to enable your fort to produce the item.
Also non-artifact/named metal armor and weapons wear out either being refurbished at a tinkers bench with its base material or melted for 90-95% of the metal returned.

Edit: the idea of recycling low quality stuff has been floating around my brain too.

Exactly I have no frickin clue what I am doing or whom I am doing it for, it is overcomplicated. Plus no one has anything to say other than it was inevitable

Thanks, that was crucial

What if - and stop me if Im going to fast - you take coins in with you and drop them on the ground?  Breadcrumb

  Or water?
  Or thread?
  Or seeds?
 
  Maybe somebody could mod in zero-weight items that were represented by arrow icons?  Even just naming an item 'East arrowhead' would be sufficient.

not that this isnt a god idea but
1. this is a suggestion thread
2. the intention is to add a way to record one's journey personally i dont get lost unless i forget the entrance area i could just bump my memory attribute at the start but that isnt accomplishing the desire. The desire is not to not get lost but rather to ever forget

I know that there are fixes for some "broken" crops does anyone know where the thread is? I cant find it for the life of me.

I'm thinking with a book or scroll you press a key to bring up a menu then press another key for an option labeled MAP TO X were X is a book or scroll, at this point as you walk every structure part you see (that's not already mapped) will be mapped.

This will continue until one of three things happen.

1. You stop mapping.

2.you are interrupted by combat

3.the thing you were maping to becomes full.


If you finish maping before the book or other useable object is full you can write other things in it or even another map, if I mapped out a fortress and had some space left I could write in some notes about its history or things in the sounding area.


This sort of thing could be expanded further by writing down recent battles, conversations, people, and events.

In fact IIRC there are going to be other jobs in adventure mode we can take at some point right?
 I can see someone turning this into a good one.
If we can copy our books (this would take time and the needed blank or almost blank books) then we could sell are maps and journals.

Of course logicly NPCs can do this to so we could by maps and journals to, this could prove handy for learning more about the world, our enemy's, and other things.

And it would FINALY give us more books.

My thoughts mostly except that i want to be able to compile maps into a book, books into volumes each compilation requiring more stuff to bind stuff together.

woah my bad i say dwarf out of habit. Not trying to troll I am a human, oonce again my bad
