- [IMPORT_ONLY] or some equivalent. Products of any kind with this tag cannot be produced in Fortress Mode; they do, however, appear on trade caravans and the embark screen.
- Make crafts and misc items RAWed. That is, anvil-like items that have no specific use as anything other than building materials and reagents should be in the raws, allowing these useful "tech-tree" items to be added by mods.
- Generalize all buildings to the raws- but it's not necessary to move all reactions over too. I'm thinking that the appearance, name, construction materiel and such of all the vanilla buildings can be moved over to the Buildings Raw, with special unique tags for each one that define it's function wholesale. For instance, you would have a [WORKSHOP_CRAFT] tag that would be the only special attribute of the Craftdwarfshop. Any building with that tag would have all the attributes of that building.
It would then be possible to gradually break building functions apart in later versions without moving buildings from Hardcode to Raws one at a time, and would allow some modding capacity to all buildings; for instance, a modder could add the requirement for custom-made "tools" to each workshop.
All of these would be useful in one way or annother to my Liberal Crime Fortress mod...
