Moods for pottery would be nice.

Boats that work like minecarts would be pretty cool. You could have little ferries to take dwarves over rivers and such like also. As they're only little boats they're not multi-tile structures. I don't think it would be that hard to implement.

Some sort of moodable pottery would be nice i agree, its a niche area but like perfect gems maybe 'vases' as a purely decorative object or something to push a few flowers in would be worthwhile? Your own little dwarf ming dynasty porcelain collection and the like.

Meanwhile on boats... That's a whole other kettle of fish. There are many, variations of ideas offered by Toady and other players how it could be done (searchbar in the top right) but the water-simulation and current dimensions of movement make it difficult on any sort of approach until they're overhauled in a workable way in the upcoming map-rewrite.

I dont feel like both of these suggestions should be together in the same space though, its asking for different sizes of things.

I only had two suggestions at the time! DF doesn't need new features, but they're always welcome! With what I already know's coming it's more of a concern that I'll even be able to learn how to implement all the incoming features.
