Yeah, I agree it should be added, but while we already have external things that do it, it doesn't really need to be added until much later on, when and if toady every polishes up and finishes the game.

I think keeping references to existing religions out of Dwarf Fortress would be a very positive thing.

Alergies and preferences sound like a perfectly valid addition however.
But then first the cooking system needs an overhaul. Currently the Cooks serve "several random things thrown together Roast" or nothing.

We could do them at the same time, though they are slightly different, overhaul cooking and then add allergies.

Just a random idea here, but if you had the hauling power, you could have a 'sorting stockpile' set up to accept all goods or w/e. Through some extension of the take from stockpile option we already have, and some manager options, you could basically have a stockpile that gathered all your crafts, then haulers sort through bins, reorganise them into type and finally haul them over to the correct stockpiles.

So each craft shop dumps into a general bin, this is hauled when full, put in a sorting area, and then haulers sort out the contents and send them on their way.

Couldn't you do that currently, with the take from stockpile option? I don't know I've never used it but I thought you could.

Maybe, but we don't need to get into illegal drugs, that just seems to far for dwarf fort, we don't need to make a political statement.
I don't see why this would be needed, but I mean, it could exists, as a little thing you can do to make dwarfs happy. Dwarfs buy pipes, and smoke when they are on break or something. Works for me.

Why dont you just make adventure mode dwarfs, able to do everything fort mode dwarfs can do? Which I think is mostly already planned.

Maybe not make doors one way, but being able to build a special door thats one way could work. I would agree this would be nice.

I think it could make sense to have dwarfs party for things such as completion of a public royal dinning hall, or a hospital, or a dormitory. Something that suits the public. Though theres gonna have to be a limit, we dont want dwarfs partying after each chair is added to a dinning room, or celebrating the irrigation of every single farm plot one after another.

Maybe we could have mayor run, and player implemented fort wide holidays, which we can designate like, party over here kinda thing, and give are dwarfs happy points and social points depending on how good the surroundings are. Also parties for births. And maybe funerals for deaths. Funerals would alleviate the happy loss from a death, it would be like lost a friend recently, had an honorable funeral for a friend.
