On the 28th of Sandstone, the dead rise from their graves and start dancing. Skeletons popping out and jamming to some music. Farmers are taken by moods and carve various plants with faces and light them up with candles. Cooks will prepare delicious meals with sugar and give it to dwarven children. Necromancers rise their dead friends for a night. Werewolves don't attack people for once.

You could totally do that now. Make a "meaty" inorganic layer (or large cluster) that appears in sedimentary or alluvial environments and has additional meaty/bony inclusions and veins.

Words can't describe how much I would love procgen "meat biomes".  We're already partway there with evil zones!

but would it be in the shape of a giant? or would it be slices scattered through the layers?

It'd be like one of those displays where they slice a human cadaver into layers so you can see it in cross-section, but all stacked vertically.  Like this: http://thescienceexplorer.com/brain-and-body/dead-body-sliced-5000-times-create-virtual-human

Oh God, I remember seeing part of a movie about entering a psychopathic serial killers dreams once and he did that to a horse, a hundred panes of glass came down from the ceiling and trapped slices of it between them. It was quite gross. There was also a guy having his guts pulled out by a medieval torture device that wrapped it up like a spool of wire.

It would be horrendous, and it would be in weird disjointed cross sectional slices that don't make sense, and there would be thousands of them spread over a region like horrific hamburger patties, but we can do it.

Dwarves have a pumpkin spice allergy, resulting in the usual painting the fort brown that this thread has come to expect.

The game is now developed with the main target group of nazis, anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and similar folks in mind.

It simultaneously tries to pander to SJWs, Bill Gates, and time-cubers.

[Nordlicht]

I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Gates plays DF, though.

But I guess the financial situation would look different then.

[Egan_BW]

cly we need to get him hooked on it then

That's ridiculous, why would--

-Players are encouraged to commit war crimes against other races, and only barely discouraged from committing them against their own dwarves.

-Medicine is a joke, any exposure to pathogens is a terrible idea and most doctors are butchers.

-The world is literally flat.

...oh.  Oh no.  We're too late.

Oh, you meant the GAME'S financial situation.  I thought you meant that Bill Gates would be funding Dwarfy-style projects in real life.

...

I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk plays Dwarf Fortress.

[Starver]

I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk plays Dwarf Fortress.

When he's taking a break from playing Kerbal Space Program...  Because he has to plan his Mars colony, as well as how to get himself there.


Suggestion: Savefiles are now entirely in Autodesk Revit format.

[Nordlicht]

Savefiles are now written out like a novel:

Four tiles from the left and three tiles from the top on the 20th level is a grass tile. The grass is green. It's a happy little grass. It's shaded by a tree. There is small vermin on the grass. It moved here twenty ticks ago. The vermin has no plans to move elsewhere.

New saves are added to the bottom of existing saves, making load and save time longer as you play.

The game autosaves every five seconds.
