Yet another reason to admire kobolds, they've made cuteness into a working system of government.

I thought kobolds had no system of government.   

That's what they want you to think.

Suggestion: make kobolds relentless, micro-managing bureaucrats.  They still steal your stuff, but now they justify it through a tangled web of logic concerning property rights, land use ordinances, and various obscure zoning laws.  If you attempt to dispute them, they'll get your entire fortress (including a new profession, the lawyer) wrapped up in endless legal battles* that slowly increase stress levels until your fortress collapses.  You can still just kill them, though, because everyone still hates them, albeit for different reasons.

*Note: court hearings are complicated by the fact that, even though they have an entire Byzantine power structure and electoral system, kobold speech is still unintelligible gibberish.

speaking of kobolds, i had a better idea for df+kerbal space program. kobold space program.

basically you have to deal with the odd failed kobold spaceship (ie all of them) falling out of the sky and blowing craters in the surface.

This sounds interesting, adding a new rocket part, Sensor, could allow you to find and dodge these falling rockets

Protesters!

Before getting to the point of "Oblivious" or "Berserk", upset dwarfs may start an "Organize Protest" activity where they influence others to join them, and this group would gather in a dining room to protest the lack of a food type, the rain, the dead bodies, not enough soap, no well, or whatever the complaint is.

This activity could reduce the dwarf's level of upset or increase it, "Others expressed sympathy and agreed with me, I feel better" or "Others support me, I am going to form a coalition and take over".

I actually think this would be good for the game to add

It does somewhat fly in the face of DF's "no post-1400s tech" rule, tho.

Strap the items you wish to take on a cannon, shoot it high, it will still be in the sky, the “sensors” can be things that vibrate asked on air currents also strapped to said cannon ball

Okay, but check it: gunpowder was invented in China before the year 1000.  All we hafta do is find DF Asia, cram a bunch of the stuff into stone pots, and put a chair on top, and we're golden!

This very much beats my cannon ball idea

Every new moon, a dwarf does an ungodly awful Tom Hanks impression which will always cause negative thoughts. If a dwarf is in a strange mood, it will just switch to the insanity part.

[PineMarten]

Dwarves spend about half of their time engaging in extensive and thorough beard hair and get very unhappy thoughts when they are unable to.

[BigUglyWorm]

Any time a dwarf enters a strange mood of any kind, there's a 1% chance they'll make something from Random Item Drop: https://randomitemdrop.tumblr.com/

[scourge728]

call dwarves something like terraburgers.

I've been thinking about this, and y'know, dwarves should have extensive beard-care routines, along with the accoutrements to go with them.  Like trimming scissors, forged from metal; special shampoos and conditioners; and pomade, made from animal fat or beeswax.  All dwarves will spend at least part of one day per week tending their lustrous facial hair, or else suffer unhappy thoughts.
