Something I had been thinking about... If I remember correctly one of the new features of the next version was skilled Dwarves teaching other Dwarves. In the example I read the skilled dwarf sat down to teach a few other dwarves the skill.
And ever since I read about there being a chief medical dwarf... I wondered if it would be possible to (either have this as default or something to mod in) have him only teach while walking - preferably down hallways

And have a team consisting of a human and two dwarves (one male, one female) who do all his dirty work while he runs around pissing off the other dwarves and generally being an ass?

Perhaps he should have a wounded right leg too.

oh god i lol'd
but that reminds me.
Toady, will we be able to designate specific surgery in the future, such as neutering or tail docking? perhaps even to ethics based operations such as stitching a POW's eyelids shut for fun and practice, even to the utter ridiculous:inserting adamantine plates under a dwarf's skin, and severing sensory nerves to make an unfeeling super soldier
...but that's plain stupid

Will it be possible in the next version to add a building that takes a craft item as a building material, so that otherwise useless artifacts can be displayed in a custom display case, or on a plinth or similar? If so, will it work similar to a statue, or a particularly fine building? And is there a way to determine which level of Building Destroyer is required to topple them?

Yeah, you can easily make a custom workshop that does this.  Just put this line somewhere near the bottom of the workshop raw:

[BUILD_ITEM:1:RING:NONE:NONE:NONE][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

Unfortunately I think you have to specify what kind of item you want to use, so you'll need to make a different building for each kind of item you want to display.

Since dwarves often admire well-made workshops, they'll admire the display case in the same way.  BUILDINGDESTROYER level is probably hardcoded, though.

[SmileyMan]

SmileyMan, are you talking about Discworld MUD?

It was an LpMUD variant, but it wasn't Discworld.  Probably some local thing that died a death years ago.

[DeathOfRats]

Discworld MUDders unite!

Here! Man, that brings back some memories.

 I look forward to new and exciting ways ones can commit genocide on various freak-of-nature men as you colonize the underground. Although I have to wonder how far this effect will go.

A little bit of me died today. I no longer care when the update comes, or if it comes at all. I've spent 2 months being hyped up and checking in twice a day to ensure that the release hasn't come out, but I'm done. It's not so much the zen art of acceptance as the final bit of care slipping for a childhood friend.

It's going to come out the day after you stop checking.

Oh how I wish Unfortunately the universe doesn't revolve around me, so even Sod's law doesn't apply here.

You'll never know if it's true or not, because the only way to check if it updated is to actually look, which violates the premise that you've stopped looking. Ergo, you've made it into Schrödinger's Update.

Only two months? Amateur

Oh how I wish

Now, this bit, I don't understand. If you don't care about the next version, how can you wish for a swift release?
