Not actually about the Wiki, but kinda...
« on: January 12, 2014, 02:04:13 pm »

So there's a link here on the forums in the suggestions sub-forum saying "everything in one place". It takes you to the Bay12 page, specifically to a development part that details hundreds of future goals. There are Core1,2... Req1,2... Bloat, Powergoal etc. On the very top of the page it just says "outdated". Does anyone have info about that? What does it mean? Is all of that endless body of planning just obsolete?

The best persons that can answer that are Toady One and ThreeToe. But think of it in this way:

- What's in there is, in short (yes, I know how this sounds), is the total amount of features that will eventually be added to the game. The page's dated from 2011-12-05, which is now outdated, as the latest Dwarf Fortress version was released in 2012 (but if the page was actualized at 2011, that means that even there it was outdated).
- The amount of features that will eventually be added continues to increase. This is a game that, if most, will be completed a long, very long time in the future.
- As stated here:

It has also proven too time-consuming to maintain all of the notes in a presentable form, so we're sticking with incomplete lists for the foreseeable future.

I hope this clears stuff up.
