I kind'of like it. It doesn't even need to be as in depth as Granite seems to think. Just drop the 'hard freeze' temp a little, and add a new 'soft freeze' that only adds a floor of ice on top.
It means fish don't have to die, rivers can be crossed, but not damed up. And, when cave-ins are supported again, maybe even have falling through be possible (with refreezing, gaurenteeing death to even adept swimmers).

As far as multi-depth waters go, it seems like a bit too much work to add a handle beyond the top-most celing freezing before the rest of the water.

Okay, I did a little poking around, searched, and checked the wiki and couldn't find anything like this. If it's already suggested somewhere under a diffrent name I couldn't think of, sorry.

Right now, if you have a barrel full of unwanted whatever, (fat, 2 beer, etc) or else a bag breeming with pigtail seeds, you only have 2 options, dump the offending container, or go through and dump individual items (which may/maynot work for the beer issue). I would probably make a lot more sense to be able to make a container with an "empty" designation. Once marked a dwarf would come by, pick up the offending barrel/bin/bag/quiver/etc haul it off to the nearest dump and start dropping the contents off one by one (to account for flat dump sites).

I think the best way to then handle various issues that would pop up (like running out of dump room) would be to un-flag the container whenver it's either emptied, or there's nowhere left to empty it.

A sort of side effect to this that may/maynot be entertaining is properly handled dump-to-lava occurences. Right now, the only thing I know of that burns when dropped into lava without vanishing first is raw hide. More things there means needing chimneys, booze boil outlets, etc. and would otherwise be fun.

Nevermind. I found them. If anyone else runs into it, from my docs, it's appdata\local\virtualstore\(dwarf fortress' path)

I've found that if you forbid the vermin in the trap, it'll keep your dwarves from eating it, but still lets you train them, 'cause they apparently train the trap, not the animal  .

Umm... would someone mind posting a generated world? Mine keeps crashing at recounting legends...
