Basically, post ideas for any tag here that won't appear in game, and will be more for mods.

e.g.

[EDIBLE]: Add to any material to make it considered something that can be eaten. This way, mods may have dwarves mining for cheese and tofu.

[LATEGAME:x]: Creature only starts spawning in your fortress area after x months. Alternativly, this could be done in fortress wealth, like seiges.

Why?  That goes against the realism-based spirit of the game.

I also note you've made like twenty threads in the past few days, and kindly request you stop flooding the forum with every idea that pops into your head, and instead try to form one coherent thread for your ideas.   Likewise, I suggest that you read the devnotes and try searching for ideas before posting them.   The majority of things you've posted have been discussed before.

Hmmm ignoring the fact that Toady does break realism for gameplay quite a bit as it is anyhow. (Examples too numberous to be even worth mentioning. Endless Sieges are already on the drawing board as it is.)

Lategame would be better if it was changed to a Population, resource, and other kind of requirements (perhaps noble) for the creature to even think about attacking.

I like [EDIBLE] but I'm worried because foods have all sorts of other data associated with them that you would need a way to connect to.

I don't like [LATEGAME:x] for a couple reasons, but mostly because sieges stop appearing out of thin air SOON.  Maybe not this next update, but quite possibly the one after that.  It's already possible to extinct some critters or to run out of goblin commanders, etc.

If you wanted any sort of tag like that, you would need a new tag telling it that it's supposed to spawn out of thin air.  And that might not be a bad thing.  In fact I like that idea.  I just can't think of a good name for it.

Capntastic, please don't tell him not to post ideas.  I don't think I've seen an idea like [LATEGAME] before and it's actually a very good suggestion that needs some refining.  People who post ideas with thought behind them are very much needed, and I think that's what we have here.
