Has toady ever commented on mods that he really likes?
He has a ton of features he wants to add. Has he ever said anything about how some of these features can be done by modders and you don't need access to source code?

just curious to see if anyone has added mods that fall under Toady's planned arc and his opinion of mods.

This is likely a question for Toady himself. I believe that many mods are largely outside the scope of what he wants to do in the near future. The features he plans on adding are largely things that require updates to the game code, not updates to the game's raws. Activating the world, for example. Wars, sending armies off screen, an improved dwarven economy. Playable elves, playable kobolds, alternate dimensions are all things he's mentioned as being in the cards eventually, and mods are available for these things, but they're rather far down his priority list right now. In short, the vast bulk of the work on the game will need to take place in the game's code.

He's talked about mods in general a couple of times - essentially, he doesn't play any of them unless they're part of a bug report, and so he doesn't get the exposure to have anything like a favorite mod.

I just assumed he got the pleasure out of creating, rather than the creation. In other words, he doesn't play df, so therefore he couldn't play mods. I think it'd be awesome for toady to participate in a community succesion game.
