DF Suggestions / Re: compost pile
« on: November 07, 2010, 02:59:30 pm »
+1 to idea, +1 to barrels, +1 to no bones (finally a place to put refuse!)
however it should be less effective than potash and should require some fertilizer to start making more.

DF Suggestions / Re: Cooking and Brewing Diversity: the Food and Drink Megathread
« on: November 07, 2010, 02:57:45 pm »
nice!
my idea for the thread (this has been partially mentioned):
[there is a dining room, a kitchen zone, a food-pickup zone*, an ingredient pile**, and a raw pile^]
COOKING ON
COOKING OFF
**This is where you tell the "pile" how many of which ingredients you want in it.
^If dwarves can't get an available cook and there's no food in the pickup zone, or you have disabled cooking, they will pick up food here. You can decide what you want here, which would typically be preserved stuff.
You could also make prepared meals specifically at the kitchen, and you could also set TIME BETWEEN COOKING SESSIONS (i.e. fast, normal, slow) to set food creation rates. These would not conflict with orders.
BTW, orders from nobles could be specific but should be from ingredients found in the fortress. Except for the king/queen, of course.
my idea for the thread (this has been partially mentioned):
[there is a dining room, a kitchen zone, a food-pickup zone*, an ingredient pile**, and a raw pile^]
COOKING ON
- Dwarf gets hungry.
- Dwarf looks for food in pickup zone and proceeds to eat it and get a very good thought about the great service (and another one about food quality)
- If nothing found, a "Prepare Meal (Ordered)" task gets set in a kitchen, preferably unused.
- Cook gets ingredients from the ingredient stockpile and goes to make a meal. Cook then brings it to the Pickup zone.
- Dwarf goes to zone and takes the food to the dining room.
- Dwarf not hungry. Dwarf gets a good thought about good service (and another one about food quality)
COOKING OFF
- Dwarf gets hungry.
- Dwarf looks for food in pickup zone, then spoilable items in a stockpile, then non-spoilable.
- Dwarf goes to dining room and starts eating.
- Dwarf not hungry. Depending on status, fort wealth, economy, etc. might get a bad thought of varying severity.

DF Suggestions / Re: Down with ramp channeling
« on: November 07, 2010, 06:13:54 am »
I like the system as-is, but it's kind-of annoying. Well, in freezing biomes, why not make stairs? or not under open air? But to the point...
I think that these designations need to be implemented in a "channeling" sub-menu:
this should make everyone happy.
I think that these designations need to be implemented in a "channeling" sub-menu:
- Channel with ramps
- Channel without ramps
- Dig up-ramp
- Remove down (and up) ramp (from top)
- Remove up (and down) ramp (from bottom)
- Cautiously dig a channel (not digging where you're standing, wait a few frames for liquids to fill, etc.)
this should make everyone happy.

DF Suggestions / Re: goblin trade
« on: November 07, 2010, 03:52:59 am »
great idea! I can already see me trading back my 20 (naked) goblins for loads of iron/steel stuff... but they should be wary of trading in the beginning but actually bring better things (like weapons/armor) if you keep a good relationship with them... but expect to still see goblin snatchers and occasional ambushes ("hey, I didn't send them here...")
plus add kobold caravans that try to "trade" for your artifacts (i.e. they offer you loads of good stuff/crap and proceed to try and take your things)
so... +1

« on: November 06, 2010, 04:53:01 pm »
+1 to whole idea
I tend to just get cubic shittons of wood cut, defenses set up, wall/channel in most of the map, get a way to let good guys in and gobbos out, and then figure out what the hell is in the rock in the first years. Then with loads of food/booze I, who almost never use a military, just go exploring. ambushes die real fast in my automatic traps, guard animals get thieves, and ballistae scared away myfirst only siege
then I do something wrong (could be on purpose) and suddenly my fort is on fire/flooded/filled with magma/crawling with fire imps/getting murdered by that one troll group/etc. and all this time I just buy reserve stuff (i.e. the whole caravan's load) for masterpiece crap and get them to leave. Fun, but trading right now is boring as I can get most stuff in the rock (in the caverns if need be)

i would rather sand-water interaction be like this though:

« on: November 06, 2010, 02:56:05 pm »
+100 the whole thread
oh and we should have the ability to actually build x-level-tall walls to stop certain creatures from moving through the tile... but only with legendary masons or something.
also I think that for the sake of simplicity (even though I'm for the most realism) there need to be fractions of stuff instead of "logs" and "dust"
edit: damn, wrong thread. anyways I think this is still kind-of relevant

« on: November 06, 2010, 11:31:12 am »
I think that some things in this don't quite work, I'm afraid:
- Brewing takes time, so there would be NO booze at times unless you prepared well (i.e. embarking with tons of it, getting a well) ... NOT very newb-friendly.
- Brewing would take much more stuff (reagents) if it were realistic, again turning away newbies.

« on: November 06, 2010, 11:03:52 am »
+1 to all the above. epic.
note: this will get a bit off-topic.
the question now is whether we should have the outer world also getting stuff done/made (only much more simplified) or keep it auto-genned like it is now. if the former, then this stuff should apply to them too.
