No. I mean that if I order to make a bed out of ash wood the workshop will still call it bed instead of ashen bed, like it does with anything else (ashen bucket, ashen door and so on)

[Untrustedlife]

By custom wood he likely means when you choose to make it out of a spceific kind of wood.

So, I think i'm in love with the customizing of objects, and the ability to create bone items in adventure mode and also customize them, however, it seems like you only get the option to go into specifics when carving figurines in adventure mode and not , for example, amulets.When will we be able to do this or does it depend on your skill?

Also, on a related note, when will I be able to legitimately open up a "bone carving" shoppe in a town or something similar instead of just peddling to people on the streets?

[Random_Dragon]

It is kinda interesting, but...

Are there any plans to add more materials options besides born, like horn or hoof? It's doable, but the most efficient way to make it work out (using reaction_class to group all desired materials for use in the same reaction) will work different from the way you have the reactions working now (namely, reaction_class makes it consume an entire stack, while).

Though personally I don't mind the other method consuming whole stacks, as it allows reaction mods to use bone and related materials in a way that's consistent with how leather reactions and the only non-buggy cloth reactions are used.

Amulets don't have images on them by default. Unless you mean when you try to put an image on an amulet, then I can't answer that.

As for when you can set up a shop, the answer will probably be "when I get around to it". No specific timelines here, but I would wager that shops and other property ownership would come into play once development starts on a properly functioning economy.

I mean when you try to put an image on one. You are unable to AFAIK , which is why I asked .

[Random_Dragon]

If I recall, images on amulets and other items are an improvement or decoration, hence why they don't yet work in adventure mode.

In contrast, figurines have image properties on their own, hence working differently.

Will sand and clay tiles remain as infinite sources of the respective materials or will they become finite at some point in the distant future?

[Knight Otu]

Will sand and clay tiles remain as infinite sources of the respective materials or will they become finite at some point in the distant future?

Toady has mentioned a few times that he would like sand to work more like a liquid, and he mentioned back when the clay industry was added that they considered making clay finite.

Where would you obtain clay from?

It would be nice to see a mechanism where there is at least a small chance of a tile being mined out if clay mining will use the current sand collection interface. (Same for sand  actually, but less so.)

Right now it works like sand, and we were considering making it eat up the tiles after a number of uses, but it doesn't currently do that.

As such, it seems reasonable that sand and clay won't stay as infinite as they are right now.

In relation to Deep Dwarves. If we could establish a reasonable trade relationship with them (assuming they can speak/no diplomats until a mayoral or barony stage for easy trades on hitting caverns/within range in the caverns/have access to the fortress depot from topside or cavern entrances) besides from trade goods like wood and maggots, would they offer a variety selection of animals from the caverns additionally?

Given the scarcity of some cavern creatures that appear in small numbers and the interesting barriers of [cave_animal] preferences to level 1 obtaining additional jabberers at a high price or selling off some troglodytes (into slavery? ethics unknown, would they eat them? force them to work? I realise these are all questions in themselves.) would be helpful to breeding programmes that have hit a dead end.

@Knight Otu Thanks for the answer!

Once player fortresses will be able to interact with hillocks and mountain halls, will they be able to interact only with nearby settlements that aren't too far away? Also, will new hillocks and mountain halls be founded near the player's fortress over time?

From what I gather the smaller settlements are part of a push to have your fort expand without needing more chunks loaded to the same level of detail as fort mode. This is in part so we'll have big enough populations to draw from for the giant armies we'll need.

[Witty]

Toady, I've noticed that nearly all tavern fights seem to erupt into a large scale fortress-wide conflict and end lethally. Is this an intended aspect of drunken brawls? I was under the impression that the fight would end once one of the fighters was knocked unconscious or yielded - but is that actually the case right now?

Because of all the performing, dwarves don't talk to each other as much any more. This means dwarves don't form relationships as easily, though I have noticed that lovers marry sooner. Are you going to do something to balance this out?

Not to mention that kids now are so intent on playing (alone) that I've so far failed to find any kid who's even passingly familiar with another. Kids occasionally recognize the beard of one or a few adults.
