Improved late game engineering and mechanics
« on: May 28, 2014, 11:55:08 am »
(I dont know if this is already suggested but if it is can u put a link in)

I think a much needed addition to the game would be improved late game engineering contraptions. Which would manly be for FUN but could also improve your fortress and add more depth to the game.  For example, elevators, coal powered trains, conver belts, pressure plates, diving equipment, zip lines, parachutes, wing suits, driver able bronze colossus, hidden doors, mobile siege weapons, fire hoses
and the list goes on...

Maybe even gunpowder related things.

A lot of these have been suggested....... Though I really don't think anyone's ever suggested wing suits, for... multiple prevalent reasons. Gunpowder is definitely on Toady's list.

You have some good suggestions anyway, but engineering is planned in the future. In the year 20XX.

You think the date will start with a 2? Now that's optimism.
