Will we ever get more Legends Mode tabs? Like for music/instruments, maybe?

Will the amount of food that can be fairly effortlessly gathered off the surface from trees and bushes be nerfed a bit to help food/drink resource management not feel so trivial?

I don't think it will be nerfed. What may happen is that unprocessed food may soon not be as nutritious as processed food, or different foods may have different value of nutrition, so to feed a meal to a dwarf you may need one bread, or 2 plump helmets, or 5 apples, for example.

Because three lettuce leaves and three prepared elephant hearts do not have the same nutritional value.

...honestly, which is more filling? Most people... don't eat elephant hearts.

In Soviet Russia, elephants eat your heart.

Wait, that's the norm. o3o

I bet weapons are to exacting to be rng'ed up.
I doubt it. The main problem right now is that there isn't much to vary for random weapons (and even less so for other items), as I've noticed in my random entity creature script. The main difficulty would be the "exposition" I guess.



Exposition would defiantly be the load bearing feature. If you take thing like, swords or spears or hammers, as simply descriptive instead of prescriptive, the game could just generate us some very broad, dull "swords" that'll use the sword skills, but they're maces or hammers. If we get abstracted description of the sword that might help us? But unlike musical instruments, where its mostly abstraction, for combat there a fair bit of simulation.

Eventually the playerbase would learn what the descriptor mean for weapons, and we'll be able to tell when it give us fat swords or light hammers.

Certainly I think the majority of the weapons would have to remain unprocedural, but perhaps each civ could have a "Signature weapon" of sorts.

Currently, underground plants are seasonal and aboveground plants can be grown at any time. This makes no sense. Will it ever be fixed/changed?

You'd think the reverse would make sense, wouldn't you.

Right now, human villages aren't very interesting when compared to their towns, who now have several different types of buildings. Are there any plans to expand the buildings available to the smaller sites, so that we can perhaps see the occasional small inn, shop, or shrine in them?

The funny thing to me is that, while towns are more interesting than hamlets overall, the mead halls are more interesting than keeps. Keeps seem to never have supplies to take.
