This is a controversial idea, but I like it.

DF Suggestions / Re: The Kobolds

Actually, that's not bad! It sounds like mobility would definitely keep them alive longer, as long as it takes time for opposing empires to find each other's sites.

DF Suggestions / Re: Construction suggestion NOT related to area placement
« on: January 17, 2008, 11:42:00 pm »
Something similar has been suggested before; the difference being that the default item would be selectable from the list and not the most common or closest.

Yes, I think Turgiridgedlidg Bolt has a great point. I also agree with the OP's idea, this would be very useful, although Acceleration might take some time to get used to and I would prefer Ctrl-Arrow = 1 tile. Might I add that Ctrl+Shift+Arrow = Move 100 tiles? Of course, this all probably goes under the Presentation Arc, so it could be a while for Toady One to get to it.

DF Suggestions / Re: Gaskets
« on: January 14, 2008, 11:47:00 pm »
Hmmm... actually, to take your idea further, make normal doors, windows, and etcetera non-waterproof. Then, have a gasket addable to these items that would make them waterproof.
If you want a reason why, consider having a human town in a valley beside a lake. With doors as they are, these worthless humans would be able to avoid a watery doom by hiding in simple thatched-roof cottages! It must be fixed!

DF Suggestions / Re: Gold Thread
« on: January 13, 2008, 12:46:00 pm »
You just might be able to add 'thread' to gold in the raws and bam, there you go! Then you will be able to extract gold thread in the same way you extract Adamantium. It seems that it could be good practice for dwarves who will work with adamn. later on.
Hmmm... yet annother Idea for PTTGs Mod.

Always neat to read what the new players think. I quite agree with your suggestions. Though most of those have been suggested, you put them well. There has been some suggestions for mithril, but, well, I don't know how much you've played, so let's just say that steel is not the best stuff you will find.

DF Suggestions / World Gen Rivers
« on: June 12, 2008, 10:47:00 am »
As so much is being worked on for world gen, consider this: while rivers erode inland, where they cut deep into the soil, at the shoreline they slow down and deposit all the silt- this has the effect of building up terrain to the point of making land. For example, see southern Florida. My suggestion is to have rivers, in proportion to there size, create these silt deposits in dwarf fortress world gen.

That is.... the twelfth time someone has suggested that this month. It is in the Dev List, people!
That said, I have made some stupid suggestions in my time. So, it's ok, just don't let it happen again.

DF Suggestions / Re: Digging vs Mining - a new designation to help with clutt
« on: November 09, 2007, 10:05:00 pm »
I have to say- this sounds pretty good; especialy now that Legnendary Miners get 100% of the rock the mine. As it is now, all my best miners have to retire or they'll clog up my fortress! This has my seal of approval.

Yes, as the good captain said, I'm sorry if that came out harsh. I don't blame you; those are good ideas, and everybody has suggested them at least once. It's Tradition! I think mine was the Carts idea - that's really popular.

Whooo boy, not again. Looks like we stumbled on a nest of noobs. Well, everybody gets one suggestion thread like this. Before you post next time, guys, check out the Dev Notes, especially the cores and bloats, as well as the "what's next" segments. All of your Ideas are already planned or have been suggested before, and "warnings options" has already been done. The search is weak, but use it first.
Now that's out of the way, welcome to the forums. Normally, we're nice.

DF Suggestions / Re: State Religion
« on: February 19, 2008, 11:02:00 am »
When the Otaku are done, let's discuss the idea someone mentioned; I think that the state religion sounds very usable, perhaps by allowing the player to select a 'patron god' of the fortress.
Or, to take this idea in annother direction; perhaps the player can build and designate a 'shrine' room. Some advanced nobles would require private shrines, most dwarves would be happy with a great temple to their particular god. And, of course, temples could be built with particular features that modify the value to the dwarves and presumably to the gods.
I see a temple to a sea god detecting the presence of water in the temple and thus making it more valuable, especially if it is saltwater. A plant god shrine gets a bonus for trees, and a mineral or mining god shrine does best in a rough chamber with ore and gems in the walls.
How's that all sound?
