Well, the devlogs seem to imply that moving objects other than  minecarts can collide now, so that's there already.

You could use just a regular (or modded to be heavier) cart for this sort of trap; if you don't want to store anything on it just don't hook the stop to a stockpile, I'd think.

Are there any plans to make useless artifacts (like scepters and rings and whatnot) usable, like with the display case mod?

I'd be very happy to see that included. No more using weapon traps to display artifact weapons, or building asheries in noble bedrooms to make use of artifact barrels.

Toady, will multiple forms of government ever be possible? Will we always have to have a baron/count/duke/king, or can we have a republic or a democracy?

Since you are tackling bugfixing again, how is the Mantis bug tracker working for you? I know that you've had it at least since early 2010, and that several volunteers help filter out duplicate entries and "not bugs". Are there other ways here that the community could make the system more effective?

The short answer, is yes. Toady has spoken about Artifacts in dwarf fortress talks.

Mr S cancels Be Productive This Week, interrupted by release of 0.34.08.

[Keldane]

Of course, it's released when I'm asleep because I have to work in the morning. It'll be about ten hours before I can play. >_<

[Karlito]

Alright, well it came out before my finals, so I suppose that's better than during them. Fingers crossed for lack of save corrupting bugs!

DORF democracy!  Much happy chuckling in contemplation of this wondrous idea. Can we guillotine all Our nobles in the revolution? ;-)

Yeah. And still at least twenty years until retirement when I can take up DF playing full time. =D I wonder if it'll be v1.0 by then.

In further news, the Fortress Overseer's party lost in the second round of elections today as public unrest over their "alcohol austerity" measures reached a fever pitch following a failure to properly oversee still jobs resulted in a solid year of nothing being brewed, culminating in a "military and legendaries only" alcohol rationing system. 

With the ouster of the moderate party, the parties elected were far-left and far-right wing parties which seem to be incapable of finding any middle ground upon which to forge a coalition government, especially on the contentious issues of kitten adoption vs. cat butchering.  If they cannot reach a coalition government, new elections will be held on the 14th of Slate.

Was reading some posts earlier and got this question:

Is it possible/will there ever be an option to, instead of abandoning a fortress, let it become a full blown town/mountainhome? Like, an option that lets the computer take control of your fortress so that you can trade and interact with npcs in it just like a normal town in adventure mode?

This would make using the same world over again much more fun for adv mode. Also would be cool in fortress mode if you get merchants from your old fortress, trading things which you made. Thus you could trade for the artifacts you made then.

This is already planned and is a large part of what the current Caravan Arc hopes to achieve (allowing world gen to continue).
