Well, though utterly generalised furnaces perhaps isn't perfect, then at least it seems to be sensible to have less exotic functionality implemented (microspecialisation) and more task-specific additions directly addressing current gameplay deficiencies and natural dwarf extensions.

Current gameplay problems and building addressing this:

* Injuries - Hospital
* Military training - Arena
* Skills and academic training (and knowledge transfer) - Academy/University
* Dwarfness - Vault and Feast Hall
* Civilians in the line of fire - Military-only Zones, Safe rooms or zones (panic rooms?) and "martial law" order

You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

all of these are soooo seconded

and yeah, generalized furnaces would actually suck. it would only remove a nice feature from the game

Seems like "power plant rooms" (animal and steam power "plants") have been suggested.
