He needs to fix the embark screen, I think there should at least be an option to see what kinds of http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Stone_layers you have, or, better yet, the stone and metals themselves. I don't like it when I see Shalow Metals Deep Metals Flux Stone and there's no flux, or it's a tiny pocket in the middle of the earth, nowhere to be found, or the Shallow Metals means sphalerite and cinnabar..

I am very pleased to see him fix the taming bug, though.

Also, it would be nice if cleaning was an option in the [d]esignations menu, so you can clean where you want.

Play the older versions.  .18 (DF2010) listed the pertinent stone layers explicitly.  I rather liked this, and it makes sense.  These are Dwarves, children of the mountains.  They probably know age-old methods to prospecting and can sense the stone beneath (or above) them.  DFHack is now able to prospect a site from the embark map, though, so you can get a good idea of what's there.

You just saved my sanity, good ma'am.

Strange, I usually have the opposite effect on people...  Either way, DFHack has become fairly amazing.  Use the "ls" command, and "<plugin> help" often, you'll be surprised at all the options tucked just out of sight.

but what i would really like to see is designation patters. you could think of them more like a stamp. so when you are making a room with 1 entrance and 3x3 you could kinda just "stamp" them down the hallway you already designated. it would save alot of time                                         

This is already in the game as macros. See http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Macro

Two bugs I would like to see handled:

1) Owned items can be moved by other dorfs or ownership is automatically revoked if its left sitting around on the floor for longer than a season.
2) Dorfs will be more aggressive at cleaning up messes, even messes that are outside. Perhaps the best way to handle this would be through the orders menu.

i like the first idea but dorfs cleaning up messes outside would be to time consuming if you ask me. Ever send try to cleanup the aftermath of a siege? not fun

Thats why I think an option would be best. Sort of like refuse hauling. Ignore all refuse, ignore only outside refuse, ignore nothing. Same deal with cleaning. Don't clean anything, clean only indoors, or clean everywhere.
