I would enjoy a rhombicdodecahedroncraft mod, at least for a couple minutes.

I think many of us accept that Toady simply does do so. He DOES include some things, but, obviously, most of us would be surprised if our idea was included only because we mentioned it. Besides, most are either A) Ways to implement things he's already plannign to include, and B) Stuff that will never ever be included.

And the countless suggestions in the suggestions forum would like to have a word with you ;P

The thing is he is still focused on super medieval realism, so if it falls in that path, he will include it in some form or another. If it doesn't, well, not in there.

True..

I just don't get it! It clearly says good and peaceful. WHY AREN'T MY DWARVES DYING?!!

There used to be some good suggestions in the suggestion forum. Like the one that vouched for making oceans not a place of "fuck i dont want to be here its boring" but giving them life.
The difference between MC forums and B12 is that Toady actually READS b12. Notch does not. At the end of alpha he had, what, 20 posts?

I guess that's the key difference: Toady scours our forums for stuff. A lot of other one-man devs don't :/

Given the average quality of MC forum posts... Who can blame him? In Bay we even try to give our derails quality.

Also the fact that Minecraftforums are an unofficial third party forum that is not run by Mojang, and was in fact contracted out to an external external agency, making them even more crap and non official than they previously were.
Combine that with carebear mods who lock topics and ban you for even mentioning something they disagree with, and why would he bother reading them?

dwarf fortress the most complex game ever made rofl? try starcraft bud

Okay, just what.
They had like 40 years of gaming history and they could have picked any one of those games, and they chose Starcraft? That is such a simple and straightforward example of an RTS I don't even...

[crazysheep]

Well.. I wasn't referring to MC in particular when talking about one-man devs, Icefrog was actually the first person other than Toady who sprung to mind. And he doesn't really scour the Playdota forums that much either.

On the other hand, balancing is complex. It's the reason SC is still in tourneys while RTSes from the Command and Conquer series aren't there.

Yeah, as crazysheep said it's all down to the balancing... But in terms of complexity, starcraft is much less complex than DF - and for better reasons too. I guess it's mostly opinionated stuff.
