I have tried to make the mouse work, I really have.  It's just so slow, and the lack of macros makes mass-designations actually painful with all the clicking.  The Feb. FotF said that keyboard interface is tentatively coming with the QoL focus.  All that got me thinking; a final sendoff for pre-mouse Classic.

There will be no particular theme, because I want to see everything in a single Fortress.  All the world's books in a grand library, striking back at the goblins with raiding, mega projects for both water and magma.  I have a special WorldGen that will create every feature imaginable.  I'm also thinking of adding a few mods for spice.  Specifically, crafting and hostile civs.  Maybe bring back the original Giant Desert Scorpion (though that would require a desert biome obviously).

Drop a line if you expect to have time over the next few months. (Also biome/feature requests)

I'm interested since I'm still playing 0.47.05, and I should have time during the next months.

No biome/feature/mod requests or other ideas yet, though.

+1 for the Giant Desert Scorpion

yeah completely agreed. I have stayed hesitantly optimistic that the premium DF will return to an enjoyably playable state - it just might take a long time to see that update. right now it's in a still-born state

I'm down to play since I'm too cheap to buy the Steam version and too stubborn to learn the new layout of the Classic version of 50.x.

I know folks usually sign up afterwards, but I was still hoping for more of a reaction.  I'll put a pin this one for now.  Maybe when Summer comes around.
