df-light-1.0 is an extreme cut down version of vanilla dwarf fortress that's playable.
It can act as a petri dish for other mods in development.

Longtime lurker, first contribution! hope its useful, I'm planning to use it more but haven't made anything else I want to post yet.

I think there are a few things to add back but I'm not sure what industries/supply chains got crippled in the removals
Paper and fiber threads so probably pigtails need to be added back.

How about fish? Ideally there should be something for both fishing and shell industry - pond turtles, mussels, oysters, or nautiluses.

I see no grasses, which means your donkeys and sheep are going to starve to death.  Lack of shells and plant/silk cloth will also likely mean problems with strange moods.

On the against simplification without going over stuff people have already said.

- Caravans will be disabled without wagon pullers (Yak or Horses, horses are more versatile as mounts).

On the pro-simplification, to essentially make a journalist demo.

- Kobolds rarely survive w.g in great numbers and are largely unnessecary antagonists.

- Paper can survive through animal-hide parchment but is reliant on milk of lime

- No omissions in minerals or alloys on file (who really needs billion silver or electrum)

- W.G can be downscaled, with many additional vamps, titans, necromancer summon types, and FB's being reduced, just add a w.g file to replace.

Keep up the good work, im intrigued, we must go deeper.

This makes me curious, how many tokens can be removed from the Dwarf Fortress raws while leaving it still playable in both fortress and adventure mode?

That depends on your definition of ”playable”. Is it ”includes most core features” like this mod, or ”does not crash the game on startup”, or somewhere in between?
