Remove Pathfinding. Dwarves just randomly move hoping they get somewhere before starving.

Remove all line of sight to save FPS. Creatures can no longer see or otherwise sense anything. This also means no need to waste cycles on pathfinding, as without senses creatures cannot navigate.

Remove the ability to alter the landscape and build, also replace the randomly generated world with a flat grass map, while also removing all trees and plants to save FPS.

Remove any kind of processing whatsoever from the game and let players place sprites/ascii symbols onto the screen themselves. Imagination is the most powerful game engine after all.

Add crates to the game for holding boulders.  Each crate should take up one stockpile place and hold a maximum of one boulder.

For cross-platform consistency, please update Dwarf Fortress to include all of the updates found in the most recent StarCraft patch, PTR 5.0.9.

These crates can hold only boulders. Anything of a smaller size can not fit in, and should go into the new containers that have been made: each item type now has their own container, which holds one of said item and takes one stockpile place.

This way different items won't get mixed and the fortress remains tidy.

Items can only be placed in stockpiles if they are placed into their appropriate container, if you don't place the items into their proper container they are immediately take to a refuse pile.

“Items” in this case includes containers.  No exceptions!

These container containers also have their own container container containers. And so on.

The endless nesting of containers will somehow function in a way that is Turing complete, thus all of existence can be simulated, by continually putting pots inside other, equally sized pots.

The outpost liaison just gave me a 191% premium on rock musical instruments. My suggestion is to REMOVE this possibility, as dwarves buying & selling electric guitars & synthesizers is way beyond the alleged "technology limit", and clearly breaks the immersion of a fantasy setting.

Any crafts made of rock types containing silicon, with an image of an apple on them, will be vastly overpriced.

There are some dwarves that will want those items more than any other item even if the other items are better.

Many dwarves will only use items and work in buildings made by certain crafters. If there is a shortage of products by a popular crafter, these dwarves will tantrum.
