DF Suggestions / Re: New building: Fire

This would be a perfect use for flint.  Making fire.
And new wood byproduct: Tinder, aka wood scraps too small to use for anything else = Firewood + Flint = FIRE!

Apparently enough of the new achievements grant you superitems.  Right now there's only the super medic gun...thing.  I haven't managed to figure out what it does yet because while there is a listing of abilities when you get killed by the guy weilding it, it's so short I haven't been able to read it.</STRONG>

Your ubercharge gets powered up.  That's all it is.  Nothing special.

DF Suggestions / Re: A 'ding' upon announcement.
« on: May 13, 2008, 04:22:00 pm »
Actually, if it was a random tone, it might not be so bad.
Course, it sounds perfectly simple and easy to make a use of the Sound/Music Menu:
code:

---      Announcement Ding Tone: Random/Fixed
---      Announce On:            All/Important/None
---
---
---
---
---
---
---
(^Volume Control)
If that were the case, a symphony of announcements would make a fun pseudo-song.
If you've ever seen a Random Note Generator (as compared to the Random Name Generator, har har) you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
I was also thinking there's the possibility of the main "riff" of Xepher (0:47-1:10) by Tatsh to be reproducible using a stream of announcements...  An interesting suggestion, to say the least...  I like it  :D

I'm thinking this Rally idea is one of the things we need for the Army Arc, although it would probably require some above-ranking "General" (squad leader?) to be available to sound the call, to balance it out.

DF Suggestions / Re: personal engravings
« on: May 03, 2008, 04:39:00 pm »
He wants to be able to designate areas for engravings about something specific.  Doesn't sound too horribly difficult to implement, would just require a special engraving designation similar to how custom stockpiles are now.
I'm fairly certain he realizes everything you have said so far.

DF Suggestions / Re: Carpets, and related Ideas

Tents:
1 piece plant fiber/silk per tile
1 log (Cloth can't make a working tent by itself...) + another for each tile
Although I'm not sure you'd have enough wood for that in a desert, the idea is that you're meant to be underground as dwarfs are supposed to be.

DF Suggestions / Re: Deity and relationships
« on: April 29, 2008, 09:17:00 pm »
I agree with the church idea.
Being able to choose which deity the church worships would give you a good way to convert your Dwarfs to a specific religion..  Although it doesn't matter now, maybe having a certain % of your population supporting one specific deity could confer happiness bonuses or something?

But this isn't talking just his own dwarfs.
This is talking anything that wears clothes.
And the only time you get a death message is if it's your own dwarf.

DF Suggestions / Re: Laptop-friendly keys
« on: April 30, 2008, 09:51:00 pm »
I can't imagine he programs DF on a laptop.
So lacking a place to have his computer would be a problem, to say the least.
As far as the OP: Re-bind your keys or somesuch until Presentation arc rolls around.
Or you can buy a USB keypad, those are generally pretty cheap from what I've heard.
Me, I don't have a laptop.  No worries about that sort of thing for me.
Plus, the probable drain on the battery would make it useless anyway.  Unless you're by a power outlet and have your power cord with you...

DF Suggestions / Re: Resize Stockpile
« on: April 24, 2008, 06:46:00 pm »
In terms of resizing, it would work just as well if an adjacent stockpile of same type simply auto-merges with the first one.
Allows for resizing and non-rectangular stockpiles with one easy bit of code!

Collosi, isn't it?

At any rate, probably not artifact, but masterwork at least.
Or at least have a masterwork carving in it ie "On the item is a masterfully-designed image of Rith Kathanural, red dragon and Urist Uristurist, Dwarf.  Rith Kathanural is making a plaintive gesture.  Urist Uristurist is laughing. The image relates to the slaying of Rith Kathanural by Urist Uristurist in the mid-summer of 1053."

As long as they aren't considered part of the pedestal but won't get scattered..
I came to my fort to see my artifact and possibly take it, not search for hours for it!

[MAX_METAL:299]

Would use every metal except adamantine.
Sounds nifty.
