Well with what he said about unifying materiel raws it sounds like we would be able to chop down a fruit tree and mod it so if you shove it in a smelter you get "(10) Juicy apples"

Wait...that may be possible now.  And it would be pretty dwarven to chop a tree down to harvest the fruit anyway.

And am I the only one who sees deep meaning in the ascii fish in today's devlog?   I see it as either a sign of mild boredom induced insanity, or a secret message to an elite few that fish will become even more lethal.  I am deeply hurt that I am  not one of those elite few.

a sign of mild boredom induced insanity

I'm leaning towards this.

e: hey Toady, if there's nothing to post in the dev log, you could give us a peek at some of new material/body/caste/appearance raws.  I at least would find it interesting.

I like the idea of making apple pie by taking an apple tree to the smelter and setting it on fire.

A flip-the-bird kinda move towards the damn elves and a very dwarvenly way of making apple pie in one go? I approve.

I agree.  It's not like he'd be really releasing part of the game early, but it would allow us to start making and/or thinking about user-made content for the new version.  I'm very anxious to see some stuff for this new way of making bodies.

I'd like to see the uninteresting stuff appear in the devlog, actually. The devlog is a great reading material for budding game programmers, and the tedious bits can help us anticipate problems in our own games.

I kinda wonder how Toady will describe a French Braid without the term "French"

could be a [random culture] tag, or [random region] (esp for critters, but it'd be nice if it figured out which region they wanted to be in first)

I'd love to see how the new raws are looking so far.

Caravan plant stuff? What is that means?

that boy needs therapy
I'm not sure, but my guess is controlling what plants the caravans bring. Just a shot in the dark.

[Footkerchief]

^^^ Yeah.  I think the caravans already know how to select biome-appropriate plants, so maybe he had to change the way caravans reference plant byproducts.

[Neonivek]

Judging by Toady last few updates, where he only got 1 thing done, I don't know if Toady is disapointed in himself or disapointed/peeved that he doesn't have more to tell us

I am leaning towards the second

[Random832]

^^^ Yeah.  I think the caravans already know how to select biome-appropriate plants, so maybe he had to change the way caravans reference plant byproducts.

Probably has to do with the fact that wood is now unified with plants.

[Duke 2.0]

 One would think that would be handled in the caravan arc. Then again, it could be helpful with the army arc resource management.

 Eh, who knows.

This is the army arc he's working on.  So must be spies.  In the caravans.  You know that suspicion that elves might be in league with the kobolds?  It's all true!
