If you could have one SMALL thing in DF...
« on: September 23, 2008, 07:10:06 pm »

...What would it be?  Nothing huge, and has to be usable within the current (40d) version of DF (i.e. no massive framework changes to make it work).

If I could ask for one thing, it'd be just a rotation sensor (I'm predictable, what can I say).  Just, no unknown-tick-count lags, so that way I could go off and make my own massive mechanical devices.

So, what one thing would you guys want?  More stone types, more weapons, bigger sieges or more ways to piss off the elves?  Speak up!

The ability to fastforward the world.

Like, Resume historygen, but after you retire an adventurer.

Oh god, not more stones.  The last thing we need is more stones.


Anyways, I can't decide between more extensive tabbed browsing (slogging through a hundred pages of dead cattle to find the one friggin' goblin you're looking for SUCKS) or having a "just mine the whole damn vein" command.

A nice little thing that I would like a lot would be the ability to give military dwarves daggers and whips.

I just changed my vote.

I want to equip some sadistic recruit cheesemaker with a scourge and leave it with a naked, injured goblin.

I would easily say page arrows for menus like item piles/stocks.

Bigger caravans. I mean massively bigger. Charge me 500% markup if you must, just haul me those damn bars in decent quantities. I'm getting sick of getting 3 bars of platinum tops per year. They're wagons, why the hell is their carry capacity so small? Or is it the bar weight that's fubar?

For the most part they are weighed down by HEAVY cheap objects such as Stone.

And don't forget, those bars aren't "bars" as we think of them.  They're more like whole bundles of bars.

An area selector function for changing outdoor/indoor property. This would let the player, for example, make his Siege Operators to use siege engines that are outside (Like in a built tower), when setting "Only soldiers go outside"/"Dwarves stay indoors".

And it still takes 9 of them to make one suit of plate armor.

And takes less time to make Chain-Mail.
