Items made with rock salt will degrade when exposed to water.

That's not a terrible suggestion however.
it is if you're building on a coast. and there's a lot of rock salt. or if you're trying to store beverages in rock salt pots.

[edit] actually you're right. lemme fix that all rocks now have a randomized water safe tag, and will deteriorate even if not mined or if built into something. a wall might be able to hold out magma regardless, but should it be exposed to water for an amount of time...
No material is both magma- and water-safe, and several are degraded by both.  Additionally, saltwater corrodes steel, and all water corrodes iron.

Dwarves should have to be near magma to sleep and get bad sleep if this requierement is not met.

More realistic baby mechanics.  Any injury to a baby, however minor, induces enormous stress in its parents.  The babies, for their part, not only lack self-preservation instincts, but will instantly gravitate toward any and all sources of danger the moment they hit the ground, crawling across minecart tracks, off cliffs, into lava pools, or through the front lines of an incoming siege.
So basically they become human babies. How evil of you.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

They also sleep-walk.

Metalsmith's Forges and every furnace now all have chimneys that can be whatever z-level tall, as long as they end up outside, at the surface. Thought making the pump stacks for the magma was tedious? Now you need to make sure the chimneys have their way to the surface! Oh, and that extends both to the ordinary and magma-powered variants! As an additional bonus, each z-level uses 1 stone/block in the construction.

Also, something something choking in the greenhouse gases something something.

Model atmospheric makeup in worldgen. If you get a high-oxygen world, there will be lots of big plants, fires will catch and spread more easily, and most vertebrates including dwarves are replaced with giant insects.

What if we replace elves with a civilization made up of Godzillas?

Magma crabs, but they're the pubic type, and spread through dwarves socializing.

An update towards my chimney idea: The chimneys that are located in the evil biomes can and will create smog men, who will in turn go back through the chimney and start killing your beloved Legendary Metalsmith dorfs.

Smoke from fires can harm creatures and plants.

The game will automatically detect any similarities between your playstyle and real world historical fascist regimes and point them out to you.

It will then send you increasingly judgmental reminders about it every 5 minutes until you alter your playstyle (more likely just to get the game to shut up than out of any real moral epiphany).

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.
