Or you could flood a part with magma once you burn away the mud trees won't be able to grow without the mud problem solved. Alternatifly you could smooth a large part of the cave (about as much work as paving depending on stone positions and dwarven skill).

I would try to make shure I become a weaponsmith those guys take little risk and are usually assigned good rooms. With this in mind I would just want a lot of cage traps in the fort to make shure I would remain save.

I think that the main problem with dwarf fotress nerve damage is that we get to know about it. This should be something for highly skilled diagnostics to determine since it's often not obvious (currently a dwarf can't be wrong) in real life (at least at the time(someone was cut open and can't move his hand tendon? nerve? muscle? brain damage? bone?)).

(name one place where it's going to matter if there is a lot of metal in the whole world or whatever the player just flooded the markt)

Literally anything having to do with trade. Enjoy your worthless gold and less complex world trade economy?


The problem here, as I've probably stated, is that we're in a kind of strange limbo state between two stable phases. Earlier, trade didn't matter a hell of a lot, so we had all kinds of things available to us locally. In the near future, the goal is that you have more specialized things locally and sites trade in a robust manner so that people still have what they need. Right now, we're in between, in a state where we don't have a lot of interesting trade yet, but also don't have a lot of local resources either.

Yes but that's still not in any way diffrend from having the player flood the market with a much to large fortress. This is not a case where the option is going to have a lot of influence on game options. Value calculations can remain the same, yes metals will be worth a lot less if you do this but it still allows the player some level of control (aswell as the option to embark on a very small region and still have some sort of economy). Now I understand that for example saying that combat is optional might end up screwing a lot of systems alright it already is. This is simmulair to say putting the tempreture really high or low it will simply have effect the world but the same systems as always will still apply (so name one feature that will (or would) stop working if we make this optional).

837: Your cat kills a spider and you're afraid of it giving off a disgusting purple cloud.

839 you then realise that a spider is a type of vermine that does not produce purple clouds but just to be shure you walk down to the centre of the earth to dispose of it into the magma.

I ran some experiments a few days ago and running world gen while also using the dwarf thereapist and df hack (constantly ordering things to happen on both programs)seems to result in al kinds of weirdness opon embark.

Great to see so many updates now if only the trader interface was somehow improved (with the ability to select all of a certain kind of object and the ability to sort the trader's items) and more trade would allow us to have much bigger traders then this could actually work really well!
