I don't think any suggestions about this have been mentioned yet, but:

The ill-named burrows

What about "boroughs"?

Yes, hence "ill-named."  I think it was an awful pun right from the get-go.

[Leafsnail]

Would it be possible to assign borrows in areas you haven't mined out yet?  For instance, let's say that I want to find a magma pipe which I know is on the map, but it's quite a way away from my main fort.  Could I assign a big borrow in an area where I want to dig, and get haulers to take food/ booze there for the miners?  It would be preferable to have unskilled haulers running back and forth to the mining area than my miners spending all their time running back to eat/ drink.

I am pretty sure he mentioned that you could assign a burrow to an area with a mining designation so that only your legendary miners would mine it, if it has a vein of something.

Which means implicitly, yes.

Yes, but say I'm trying to mine out a big area, in order to find something.  Would I have to reassign the burrow repeatedly?

[Neonivek]

If you do world param mods, reducing rain and shrinking the forests should control your elf problem somewhat

Thanks for the advice though I don't really find it personally problematic so much as it is somewhat rediculous in concept.

((opps I sent this...))

Edit Addition: I am glad Toady is putting limits on the amount of destruction the players can do. As much as I know people enjoy killing off their nobles, Immigrants, Peasants it kinda drove me nuts that as far as the game was concerned it was all fair game. I know you put some things in the Devs as well (such as Nobles taking people with them when they die) but I am glad to actually see you take it further.

...wait, so the burrows name was a deliberate inverse of my suggestion?

Now I just feel kinda stupid

[Warlord255]

The one-miner-per-burrow idea just inspired me. MINING RACES.

I just noticed in my game that military dwarves don't use assigned dining rooms, making all the work I put into making dining rooms for all my military dwarves useless. Could you add an option like the sleeping options whether to use a dining room or not?

[SirHoneyBadger]

I like that idea. Having assigned dining rooms for squads could tie nicely in to military cameraderie. 

[penguinofhonor]

I love having burrows named burrows. Just for laughs, when we get to Human Town Mode they should be called Boroughs.

And Goblin dark fort Borrows.

Are we going to be able to have persistent workshop orders in the new version? so we can 'r'epeat and then 'p'ersist an order?

[Byakugan01]

Seems unnecessary to me-you can use the manager to do something similar, and the constant job cancel spam you would get at times might end up causing major lag. That, and workshops on R get really cluttered-which slows down production. I mostly use it for things like booze, ammo, and only very early on for things like furniture and the like.

Well, instead of canceling the orders then, couldn't they suspend them for x seconds/minutes? I bring it up because I though I read Toady saying something about dwarves were going to suspend more things rather than cancel them.

*quietly slips in a request for an "auto-render fat" option that would work just like the "auto-tan hide" option*

[Baughn]

All I want for christmas is a "do job A when output of job A is below N" option. That's it. It'd handle pretty much everything that annoys me.

(Of course, there are details. Like the output of a "create a barrel" job is specifically empty barrels.)

[LordNagash]

This question just came to me in another thread, so here it goes. I can't remember if it's been answered before, but I don't think it has

Will there be practical limits on just how high attributes can go in the new version? And what will determine these limits? For example, if two creatures are exactly the same, except one has a bigger 'increases with strength' (or whatever that tag is) layer, will the second creature be able to be far strong than the first? And how will it work with mental attributes?

EDIT: Remembered another question

In the current version, if an entity has a king (or similar) they act as one big nation (like elves), but if they only have site leaders they act more like a series of city states (like humans)

I was wondering, if in the new version you had it so a nation could only be ruled by a specific rare caste, would they revert to city states until another king candidate was born? Or would they just keep acting the same, sans king?
