I think a possible idea would be that once endgame is triggered and whatever is the global problem defeated , spawns may be less and less monsters/zombies but more about human groups (either rogue or  factions aligned) , after all people would still fight each other to be the ones in charge.

Meaning the game even when moving in the state of "rebuilding the world" would still be a game about survival.
Though i guess it would need a working faction system with some good AI to simulate each faction trying to top each other, but not AI complex enough to kill performance.

That'd be another way to go about it. Either way I suspect we'll need to have some sort of actual global variable or some other effect that gets triggered by completing the endgame, because dialogue variables (otherwise one of the best ways to track subtle stuff in JSON) are local to either the PC or the NPC involved, not global.

Will Cataclysm NPCs ever have good AI as it is in Dwarf Fortress?

DF has good AI?

In 34.11 it was good enough for my fighting adventures needs.

DF has good AI?

Look, all things are relative. Einstein said so.

Spoiler: As useful an answer as any you'll get (click to show/hide)

I'm fine with there being no ending to the game, since the Cataclysm doesn't really seem like something that can be fixed withing two or three years.

2. The audience is people like me who play mostly for simulationism, I guess. Not everything has to have a wide audience.

I'm not here for simulation, I'm here for a game I find entertaining.


Also what's the point of adding hygiene if it's automated?

And this right here is why it's not a priority to add.

...
Overall, I think the mainline simulation caters to players who are already highly experienced with the game and thus need more challenges. It's a common fault with video games in general.

I do like it, however, because it generally has new stuff, even if it also takes stuff away. It's valuable.

Have been playing it again recently, and am really enjoying it.  Less bugs, more content, seems like better game loops/progression systems in general, and ~everything customizable by the player via easy .json editing.
Looking forward to installing more CBM's and shotgunning those Mutagens. 
The only thing I had a hard time with was trying to build a second storey, but otherwise, very fun.  Can build up, can build down/underground, very DF in that respect.  The electrical 'grid' for structures is also very handy.

They just dropped 32bit support, guess that's the last version I'll get to play for the foreseeable future.

Just noticed this was added (failure chances shown):


Good QOL.
