Every single option is game breaking

4. Using crates is immersion ruining because it's quantum stockpile lite (or it's just #2.)

If you believe that, then you play without bins, barrels and pots, therefor you let your food rot and your alcohol splatter on the floor, and your dwarves hate you.

I imagine that your forts don't last much longer than a few months, with conditions like that.

It should happen the next update!

This is a major, game breaking issue that needs to be addressed NOW!

Without a way to manage the large amounts of stone that result from delving lodgings, players are forced to either just let the stone sit around, make a massive stockpile for it (Which results in even more stone if they delve another room), or make a quantum stockpile to stick it in.

Every single option is game breaking

1. Letting it sit around tarnishes the beauty and splendor of the delving's players are trying to do, and is very immersion ruining.

2. Creating a huge stockpile for it makes the fort looks both A. Ugly and disproportionate, B. Nearly useless because every extra room delved makes more stone, so the stockpile is quickly filled to it's limit, requiring more space to be delved to expand the stockpile, which makes the fortress look more ugly and disproportionate and in the end produces more stone you don't have room for.

3. Creating a quantum stockpile is immersion ruining because you have to use the dump function for something that it was never intended for, turning it into a game breaking exploit.

I'm not gonna let this issue go, from now on i'm going to let toady know that his game is broken because he hasn't implemented crates yet.

If he wants his game to be not broken, he needs to implement crates post-hastes, in the very next update.

They're just bins with a different name and a different function, Toady, it shouldn't take you more than a day to implement them.

Why havn't you added crates to store logs and stones yet, toady?

It's very immersion breaking to have to quantum stockpile all the stone because there's just so much of it.

Crates as a method of holding up to 10 stone or logs makes perfect sense to me. If we have bins, why not crates?

Please add crates Toady.

Place furniture piece by piece is very slow and annoying in the steam version, and the absence of keyboard support and macros makes it even more slow and annoying.

Toady, just let us click and drag to place a line of furniture, let us worry about whether we even have any to place.

For example, say I set the max temp to 100 and the min to 75, would such a world be more dangerous than one set to max 0 min -50?

Pump stacks arn't really realistic, Instead my idea is to allow the construction of large pipes that attach to the upper end of a screw pump, and allowing the other end of the pipe, whether it goes vertically or horizontally.

This would allow for ease of power management and make it easier to move liquid around.

I'm pretty sure this has probably been suggested earlier, but having pipes would be pretty nice.

i did a magma moat, 2 tiles wide slowly filled up (like 2 years to go around a 3*3 embark) and it was almost FPS neutral ...
but i drained it directly from a magma tube so it did not involve many moving parts.

Well that's good to know. It's mainly the scale of the project I have in mind that's causing me to work. I don't want to start working on the project if the game is just gonna crash every time I try to fill the moat.

I'll have to wait and see I suppose.
