Pretty much as they sound. Its a burrow that if a dwarf is assigned they cannot enter. I Think this would be useful for separation of dwarves.

I am sure there is a farming overhaul somewhere in the mix. But hear me out.

Farming as it is now is really really easy. And makes the game really really easy.

Once you get a decent enough farm setup you have infinite food for free with no danger or issues.
I think a few changes could fix this to make acquiring food more of a challenge.

First, Crops should need to be watered or composted.
Right now dwarves just kind of grow mushrooms from nothing in the dirt. There needs to be some sort of watering or composting system. So you need access to rotting food (or bodies) or clean water depending on what you are growing

Second, Vermin should be able to eat and breed inside of your farms.
This would encourage somehow directing spiders to your farms or keeping vermin hunters like cats around so your farms don't go to shit.

Third, Farms should take longer to yield produce.
Maybe twice a season and that's being really generous. But currently we make so much food for dwarves that only eat 4 times a year and they can eat a mushroom and be fine.


But with some way of making farming a more in depth part of the game i think it should be a little more... fun for all of us.

"The gameplay consists of ordering the inhabitants of a dwarven settlement to dig, build and conduct research in order to strengthen the clan, whilst defending themselves from the terrible beasts from the depths into which they delve. The game generates a unique world each time a new level starts, making sure that the player needs to dynamically adapt their strategies and tactics during a session.

As the player advances, the dwarves will level up and gain new skills, progressing from weak dwarflings to near immortal warriors or master craftsmen. There are also rare resources to be found deeper in the earth that grant access to better buildings and equipment. However, the deeper you dig the more dangerous foes you might unleash…"

So yeah. What else is there to say?

I was thinking maybe have a game music folder. And after a song is one it randomly picks another song from the folder to play. So we don't have to compile all the gameplay songs we want into one .ogg or play it in a separate music player.

I was thinking of maybe having a toggle on nest boxes for if you want to gather the eggs or let them stay there to hatch.

So instead of dwarves immediately picking up eggs after they hatch you can set the nest box to hatching mode and they will leave the eggs alone.

Will make it a little easier than doing manual doorwork

How do i stack and unstack Items? Say I have a bunch of coins i want to turn into a stack or arrows and they are the same type or I have a bunch of arrows in a stack but I want just one.

I don't know if this has been done before but i was thinking of starting a fort where all my food and booze was imported.
