I think a more appropriate form of dwarven economics would be having each civ value goods differently. If, for example, platinum is found in large quantities in a city, they're not going to pay much for it. You could even saturate the platinum market yourself if the city happens to be your fort. But I suspect Toady is already at work on this with the caravan arc.

The first thing I remember was being in a little valley in the first 3D version, trying to figure out how to dig. I could see some of the stone walls already from looking at captioned screenshots, I just needed to find the dig command. Surely, in a game about mining, there would be a fairly simple way to tell my dwarves to mine into the rock?

After I found it in the thoroughly unintuitive designation menu, my next challenge was to get around "Build Door: Needs Door". The workshops, the things I needed to build these identically named building materials, and some of the only constructions to use raw stone, were at the bottom of the build list, of course.

Dwarves picked out of worldgen would indeed be cool, because then dwarves could come with their own history, family, experience and battle scars right out of the wagon.

[N2O] actually does that on the goon server, now. It was pretty funny, there was a leak, and I thought that there were monkeys chasing me around the station killing me, turns out it was, well, an N2O leak.

No, it actually doesn't. I've tested it. I do like the way they added giggle and laugh emotes to the effect, and the sleeping is much more like a pill overdose, where it turns the actual sleep button on. In this way, you can resist it's effects.

'Sides, I wanna be the one to code and implement hallucinations.

How sophisticated is the BYOND code? I heard it's better then C++ and java, but are there any codes better then it?

It is bytecode, meaning it is inherently slower than C++, but java is bytecode too. however, BYOND has some highly optimized assembly language bits for list manipulation, so can process lists faster than many C++ list implementations despite being bytecode.

All of the tests I've seen indicate it has tons of native network lag, though, even with no intensive code running.

Hello, Aryn here. You'll see me around. Key is I-Aryn-I. I've played for about five years under the key TikaPSO13. Also, playing Code Geass-themed characters is fun.
