Old worlds should be compatible with new stuff
« on: April 18, 2018, 03:58:26 pm »

If I were to add a new species (such as a Phoenix or slimes) I would have to create a brand new world. With the upcoming addition of portals, there should be some way for portals to create new creatures in the world. A portal would simply appear only to create the existence of this newfound creature.

When fortresses can have purposes, these should be compatible with the old world, I.E. all current fortresses are set to “Fortress” and the gov’t can issue requests to make different kinds of fortresses.

If the creature no longer exists, ie the raws are removed, they (if not already) should simply be wiped from existence, never to be seen or mentioned anywhere, ever again. Engravings that have these should simply be converted to smoothed walls, ready to be engraved upon again.

I know that this idea may be controversial, but I want to see my works of art my creations in my world.
