(Oh yeah, souls are a thing in DF, I forgot.)

After a small dance, two or more dwarves should combine into a larger dwarf that has their combined skills, personalities and physical appearances. With sometimes extra limbs and eyes present.

This fusion feature should also involve the dwarves painfully liquifying and mixing together.

[Egan_BW]

Dwarves should advance from childhood to adulthood by weaving a cocoon from their beards, inside of which they liquify and then rebuild themselves as an adult.

[Mr Crabman]

Creatures without beards will still liquefy upon adulthood, but won't be able to make a cocoon, and therefore won't be able to rebuild.

[SixOfSpades]

So the only female dwarves will be lolis, got it. Pedobear approves.

[Eric Blank]

No, they will be puddles of dwarf goop. God can't you read

[SixOfSpades]

Replace all the barrels of [animal type] blood with barrels of [animal type] goop.

[Egan_BW]

Barrels of cytoplasm.

[☼Obsidian Short Sword☼]

Reduce the game's viewport to one tile.

[King Zultan]

All characters in adventure mode should spawn without arms and legs, and they should be blind, def, and dumb.

"Characters" includes NPCs and creatures.

Incels should be added to DF.

Most of them are elves.

Making them incelves.

I deliberately avoided going there, damn you!

[Bumber]

Dwarves get wrinkles with age and will inject Beetox™ into their faces to smooth them.

Known side-effects of Beetox™ include itchiness at injection site, swelling, difficulty breathing, and—in most cases—death. Dwarves who are allergic to giant bees should avoid taking Beetox™. Ask your chief medical dwarf if Beetox™ is right for you.

[Mr Crabman]

So Putnam just confirmed this on Discord:

ironically i don't think multithreading the pathfinder would actually help, either
no, because you see, you have to wait for the pathfinder to be done before you go on to the next tick
and the pathfinder is the slowest thing in a tick by such a huge margin that any tick you pathfind on will have to wait for it anyway
pathfinding is way slower than people think and happens way less often than people think
i've seen people claim they think that dwarves might repath every time they move
if that were the case the game would not run at even 1 FPS
when a few animals are repathing every 10 ticks due to tightly closed doors the game falls to 3 FPS
even worse, it's somewhat rare that more than one thing is even pathing at the same time
meaning that you'd have it all threaded up only for only one of those threads to be used at once

Clearly then, Toady should make it so that all creatures do pathfind every tick, so that threading it will be beneficial!

Asking about an evil region to an NPC in adventure mode should always trigger a dialogue response of "One does not simply walk into [evil region]".
