DF Suggestions / Necromancers and the Justice System
« on: March 28, 2024, 07:45:25 pm »
I think having a necromancer as the Captain of the Guard or Sheriff could have more features. Namely, in events of murder, they could resurrect corpses to figure out who murdered them.

DF Suggestions / Add a "compensation" and "gullibility" stat to Fortresses
« on: March 11, 2023, 10:27:35 pm »
I have a fortress that has been well-off for a while and when I get caravans, I usually send a fortress-owned artifact. However, the price discrepancy between the stuff I buy from the caravans and the price of an artifact is substantial. However, I usually dont mind the difference as it usually helps diplomacy.

I think it could be interesting to instead have a "gullibility" and "compensation" system where if you trade high-value items, a caravan can either start reducing their items 's quality (assuming you would pay for it anyway) or add in bonuses (as thank for you giving them an artifact). This way, trading has a bit more of a reward/detraction beyond the simple "having and artifact versus not having it."

DF Suggestions / Add Default Mods

Please add the option to set mods as "default" so you won't need to manually click them when creating a new world.

DF Suggestions / Dwarf Fortress Steam Saving
« on: November 16, 2022, 01:46:55 pm »
I really think and hope that the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress has better saving mechanics especially with:
  • Steam Cloud saves PLEASE
  • Cross-platform sync: so, the saves between the Windows version of DF Premium and the (hopefully) upcoming MacOS and Linux are compatible (including their Steam Cloud version, if implemented)
  • Better saving system so that it doesn't quit out of the current game (also applies to Dwarf Fortress Classic)
  • A quicksave option (in a similar system to Bethesda games) even if it's just a simple hotkey binding (e.g. F6) would be helpful (also applies to Dwarf Fortress Classic)
  • If Steam Cloud is not a valid option, I think a built-in way (or mod, hint-hint) to access Cloud Services (OneDrive, Google Drive, or GitHub 8)) for saving would also work, just not as intuitive.
