Is Building Designer gone?
« on: July 17, 2024, 06:02:38 pm »
I've been away for quite a few releases-I see that Architect/Building Designer (job/skill) are no longer embark options. Were they removed, or folded into/replaced? I like having a Chief Architect.

The job is indeed gone, defunct as of v50.01.

Can always keep the job title though, nothing wrong with giving some special treatment to your favorite mason.

They were replaced by carpenter/mason/metalsmith designing buildings out of their respective material. Such buildings still get a quality like before.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

However, those buildings now only have Construction quality - in the past, they also had Design quality.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

What if there was an Architect noble who needed an office and needed to approve all buildings and constructions before they could. Be built?  Would that be a good idea?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Makes me think of the trade nobles from the older versions who seemed hellbent on mandating a constant stream of coins, but it'd be with blocks.

Civs that have procedural positions have sometimes a 'building official' with the responsibilites CONSTRUCTION_PERMITS and/or BUILDING_SAFETY, so that'd give some use for the tokens in fort mode.
