Why stop there. We could have dwarf submarines even if it is an unofficial feature.

Built with magma safe materials for the win!!!

I created a squad, created a barracks, assigned the squad to the barracks, and ordered the squad to train. They go to the barracks and engage in individual combat training. I cannot make them train together. Furthermore individual combat training give almost 0 benefit to the soldiers. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug?

When you get to the map rewrite, how far do you intend to go to change the current system of mining? Right now a large number of tiles cleared do not drop stone. This practically annoying when you mine an ore vein and see a large number of tiles not drop ore. This seems like a quick fix for something you intent to overhaul later.

I could see a couple dwarves mining and another dwarf loading a mine cart and taking the unwanted rubble out of the mine.  We already have mine carts!!! We already have dumping zones too. You might have to tweak how quantum stockpiling works, but it could be done. Quantum stockpiling also seems like a quick fix that will be overhauled later.

Traditionally, he would also carry a birch rod (Dutch: roe), a chimney sweep's broom made of willow branches, used to spank children who had been naughty. Some of the older Sinterklaas songs make mention of naughty children being put in Zwarte Piet's bag and being taken back to Spain. This part of the legend refers to the times that the Moors raided the European coasts, and as far as Iceland, to abduct the local people into slavery. This quality can be found in other companions of Saint Nicholas such as Krampus and Père Fouettard.[9] In modern versions of the Sinterklaas feast, however, Zwarte Piet no longer carries the roe and children are no longer told that they will be taken back to Spain in Zwarte Piet's bag if they have been naughty.

I would like to host a secession game in the not too distant future. The bay12 forum is no longer very active and the steam forum might not be the right place to attempt it. Where would I host it and how would I make people interested?

I think putting [MAT_FIXED_TEMP] on the material the clothing is made from would work.

What about mercury...

We have the ore Cinnabar and it can be obtained with the level of technology the Dwarfs possess..

I have a bold question. Would a full or partial rewrite of the code give a HUGE increase in performance? Is this one of the things you are determining by profiling the game?

this is basically always true, especially of old-enough code

Is this a serious option that is being considered?
