Will there be plantable trees in future versions?
Will the dwarven economy be fixed and republished in future versions?
Will the path finding problem of player civilization's flyer and aquatic creatures (if a aquatic creature enters a tile with over 3/7 water it will wrongly recognize that tile as dangerous terrain and start spamming "creature cancels task: dangerous terrain" and so do flyer creatures) be fixed in future versions?
Will the issue of egg laying creatures eating their own eggs be fixed in future versions?
Will hard coded buildings like smelter be soft codded?
Will hard coded raws like water be soft codded?
Will there be more multi-tile creatures like wagon?
Will amber and coral be added in the game?
Will there be more magic than necromancy be added in the game?
Will there be more threetoe's stories?
Will the "plane" features in this story be added in the game?

Yes, no, maybe, no timeline; apply to the questions as needed. :P




More seriously, most of these questions have been answered before, and for most, the answer is "yes, but there's no timeline for it yet. At some point, there will be plantable trees, a new economy, more hard-coded stuff moved into the raws (though actual fluids like water have more problems), multi-tile creatures have gotten experimented with, magic has been mentioned for the Artifacts section, the story was partially to highlight how planes could work in the game, etc

They are in the game, strictly speaking, but they're not used for anything besides forgotten beasts and other randomly-generated creatures at the moment.
Edit: It might be possible to find crafts made from these materials as well.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

I thought amber was a gem.

Unfortunatley, we can't genetically synthesize giant megabeasts from a time before time out of vermin entobed in amber, yet :P, that'll have to be a later release.

Are coral FBs are a hint that sea FBs (AKA Krakens hype hype hype) will someday be added in the game?

I think that's more a hint that coral will be added.  Forgotten beasts just take any material, Coral is a material, so it takes it.

I've had forgotten beasts made out of vomit and blue diamond.  Coral FBs probably hint at coral reefs or more entertaining seascapes.

Ok, both would be great. I know we already have "sea monsters", but they're of less cultural importance than grey langurs, and less military importance than giant keas, to most people.

I wonder how dwarves would get at coral anyway,  noting their super drowning skills.

Just hundreds of dwarves diving into the nearby ocean to collect some brain coral only to drown 3 seconds after they touch water...

Trade with merpeople. Unfortunately, that stopped long ago, and all we have left are trinkets, for reasons we are all well aware of :P

Dorf Engineering. Just empty a section of the ocean.

Humans from around oceans sometimes bring coral crafts or at least did in older versions.

Later, will it be possible to get Dwarves to hunt properly (as in, bringing the kill back to the fortress.) with melee weapons such as spears?
