On that note, I've always found it weird that the only thing separating a normal forest from a "savage" one was big animals and "highwood" trees. Making savage biomes even more savage by adding actively hazardous wildlife like Machineel trees and a vertebrate-version of the Cordyceps fungus would go a long way to explaining why civs actively avoid settling near them.

Probably because the AI of dwarves is stupid and if I add poisonous plants, they would eat them. Or do you think that I should add them as non-edible to allow people to make poisons?

[Lottanubs]

Poison coated weapons/bolts would be cool, and I think are already present in MW.

Do you think it would be possible to make a plant poisonous to one race, but not to another?

Easily. Gnomeblight in vanilla is actually specifically designed for this.

Non-edibles that trigger syndromes when handled?

[Putnam]

There is no [SYN_HELD] or anything of the sort, syndromes can only be triggered by interactions, contact (which is for spatters, like powders or liquids), ingestion, injection and inhalation.

I may be forgetting one or two.

I know how it works...

My question was more aimed at: Do you want these savage plants to be a reward for players that embark on savage biomes, OR should they be another level of difficulty added?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Both. A reward AND a danger would give an incentive, yet the danger would be upped.

A little of both, deadly poison for weapons but with the cost of tolerating of all the other dangers that Machineels present, simulating the deadly, blistering vapors alone would make chopping the trees to prevent poisonings a tempting thought for risk-adverse players.

[Darkond2100]

A poison that's dangerous to collect, but safe after refinement, and highly rewarding.
Like, I would set one of my gatherers to collecting poison and refining it, knowing that they'd be out of commission for a couple seasons afterwards.

Some "income" feature from fortress visitors.
1) Add payment features for non-residents in inn/tavern/temple/library.
2) Add museum where should be located artifacts (manually selected). and also some payment due it total value.
3) Payment with copper/silver/gold coins,nuggets or bars or selected acceptable items. (Visitors should have some when comes from the edge of map).
4) Add shop for individual item retail trading with visitors in opposite of waiting caravans.

So I would be able to build tourist paradise 

[Putnam]

1. Not too practical, since they probably won't have money on them
2. Can't add locations, this may change with DFHack but I  wouldn't rely on it
3. can't mod behavior like that
4. can't mod behavior like that

You can play make-believe and just store our artefacts in display cases in a very nice statue garden.

id like to see some crossover between different races workshops,so when i re-embark as dwarves in a Gnome/Succubi fort i can use one or two of their workshops.

That was an idea I'd like to see implemented.

Also some crossover fort/adv mode items could be nice, like producing stuff to read or drink for the adventurers to use or some extra rare component to be brought into a retired fort by an adventurer to be placed as a furniture in fort mode.
