 Yes. Thank you for answering our questions!

[Valtam]

Awesome, thanks Toady for your priceless time! I feel relieved by touching the ground again with those answers.

[arkhometha]

Thanks a lot for the answers Toady!
Now I have that urge to play DF but I don't want to because I can't wait for the new version.

Footkerchief has a post here with relevant quotes. The short of it is that they're planned, but, they're something that's not very dwarf-fitting.

Thanks for the answers!

Do we still have those buildings overrun with tables and trade goods in computer-run sites? If so reclaiming worldgen forts might yield a vast amount of furniture.

Boats are planned. I also think they are quite dwarf fitting.

Nobody said boats have to be restricted to water, right? This would mean in the future one might have a lava-capable ship to cross a lava lake to a dwarf fortress in the middle of a caldera.

When you add multi-racial forts (it looked like a valid thing for forts in the upcoming version as of devblog on 12/3/2012), as some players play goblin fortresses, these will get immigrants from other races. Goblins don't need to eat, but the other races do, so if you had a multi-racial goblin fort would we be able to set up farms anyway?

Your civilization won't learn new techniques, so I imagine in your modded case you'll need to import food.

so far as i know, nothing prevents goblins from farming.  the only thing is you cannot embark with seeds, by default.

if memory serves, in the current version, abductees tend to starve unless they are made to be [NO_EAT].

i think the major hurdle is that goblins use evil plants (which do not show up ingame still, i believe) or lack tags to use "normal" plants.

as it stands, do hunting and ranching food animals actually provide food to a settlement in worldgen?

oh, as a final note, i recommend removing the no eat and no drink tags from goblins after worldgen, before play, when playing a goblin fort

[Bohandas]

Other than adding the ability for figures not attached to a fortress to form relationships while the game is running do you plan on making any other changes to the current relationship system before the nest release?

Just on the offchance I'm missing anything, relevant questions are those which cant be answered succinctly and relate to the near future?

[pbnjoe]

It's always awesome to see these FotF replies. It always pumps me up more for the game (like I don't get excited about this constantly anyway )

Usually they're questions that directly relate to recent devlogs.

With climbing coming in, will we have use for ropes in adventure mode, like say tying an end to a rock or something and using it to climb down a smooth surface?

Or, with non-lethal combat coming in, will we be able to hog-tie someone or otherwise restrain them?
