Customisable raw tags.

Entirely defeats the point of having raws, doesn't it?

Unless you mean shortcuts for combining multiple tags, which we already can do.

Would like to see more bugfixes and maybe interface improvements.

[vlademir1]

Everything I want is to see is bugfixes, ESV  and on the devlist, which is all already in the works to one extent or another.

Would be nice if mining from 2D would return in a way. Mining stone wasn't as fast as ore and wouldn't always create stone when mined.

Also, a new way to mine where dwarves create a room but try their very best not to create any stone. Would be nice if I could make huge rooms and so on without leaving behind hundreds or thousands pieces of rock that eat away my precious FPS. Make the mining leave behind rubble or something that has to be cleaned.

User interface improvements.  Make the controls more intuitive.

Bugfixes/optimization as well of course.

Well, more raw tags, then. Like the [CAN_STRANGLE] thing, or maybe something to let us add extra crafting categories, like painting or pottery.

I would really like that Lavos type thing. DAY OF URIST, 1050! Society crumbled as Urist rode (like a cow boy) a meteorite into the region, causing a second ice age. Then your fort could be made to create food during these desperate times.

Nothing much to add to Toady One's to-do list, but some sort of sword-belt mechanic would be nice, especially since weapons are going to become breakable in the near future. Natural disasters like flooding, earthquakes or landslides would also be cool.

Volcanoes and magma pipes need fixing.  I don't so much care about the perfectly vertical walls, but the tube worm style pipes coming out of the mountainside need to be fixed.  Also, if there's any way to bring chasms and pits back that would be great.  Perhaps rather than being bottomless they simply end in cavern layer 3 or the magma sea.

Also, a way to designate forbidden areas, either through traffic zones or "anti-burrows", so that there's less of a metagame for building enclosed spaces or complicated structures without losing dwarfs. 

I'm pretty sure they won't make it in, but if things like superfast plate tectonics or meteorites are added, an init option to turn them off would be nice.

And though this has been discussed before, we really should go back to having channels rather than an alternate way to designate ramps.  There are a lot of situations I run into where I end up with ramps I can't get rid of and don't want.  If they're too much of a siege-breaker, then it's time to make siegers build bridges or fill the channels with logs or dirt or something.  Channeling was a very important tool for fortress design, and the ramp-designator-in-disguise is one of the worst remaining downgrades in .32.

... If they're too much of a siege-breaker, then it's time to make siegers build bridges or fill the channels with logs or dirt or something...

The former is actually going to be happening.

(Edited for improved coherence.)

I would like to see more machinery to take advantage of wind and water power.  Lifts and mine cart systems come immediately to mind.

[Grelf]

1) Dworfs who sleep in their own damn beds.
2) Optimization.
3) The ability to prioritize certain actions, (Hey Urist McFucknuts, go pull that lever NOW before magma floods us all!)
4) Being able to strangle things with their own guts.

Apart from bugfixes, I hope someday you can rename/erase/move newly generated world-files from within the game.

From the less-is-more school of thought, here's what I'd like to see happen.

* A much more streamlined interface; clump similar commands together under more intuitive headings, and make more use of sub-screens
* Clumping together of similar jobs under related skillsets (how does it make sense that a legendary mason who can carve the most intricately detailed statue of fluffy wamblers known to Dwarfkind can't figure out the logistics of stone carving?)
* A priority system which is both intuitive by default and player-changeable
* Many, many, MANY more automated functions
* Failed tasks resulting in suspend-until-possible-again actions instead of suspend-indefinitely or cancel-outright
* The ability to designate which message types you want to be logged for announcements specifically (this would solve a lot of annoying "cancel spam" problems)
* A streamlined stockpile system that allows stockpiles to be limited to use by specific types of workshops (or specific built workshops), with a forced-priority of taking from said stockpiles when working from that workshop
* The ability to reserve barrels/bins being relevantly tied to the above system so that you can, for example, force a still's stockpile to aim for X empty barrels at all times solely for use by that still (or all stills)
* An un-editable auto-burrow for all underground areas dug out by your Dwarves, designated as Default Burrow or somesuch; this would emulate the old "stay indoors" order very efficiently without a lot of trouble for players in a hurry
* The ability to define what direction things are built in; not just for wall/floor/etc. constructions, but also for when you're setting up workshops
