I'm a sandbox player personally, and consequently I find it useful to use the "cheat" utilities so I can set myself up in an ideal place for a good fortress, or to find a feature I really want when I've already arrived.
I find it quite irritating, to the point where it discourages me from playing, to have to find, download and configure utilities such as Gibbed's DF Tweak for every new version - this wasn't such an issue a while back when there was a long stretch without updates but now that the updates are coming thick and fast, it is a real chore trying to keep up-to-date. I've yet to figure out if Gibbed's DF Tweak even works with the current version and if so, how to configure it for the current release.
It would be nice to include, perhaps in the pause menu, a means of revealing the map automatically without having to use an external tool, activating magma buildings and tower-cap growth as well. It would also be nice to include the embark stats and setup in a file, so I can configure number of starting dwarfs, embark points etc without having to run an external tool and, if I use the d# version, having to put up with the kerfuffle of transferring saves between the raw version and the OpenGL optimised version, since Tweak didn't work with the OpenGL version.
This would mean that it wouldn't be necessary to wait or depend on someone else to come up with the solution to adapting an existing utility for every new version that comes out. It also greatly simplifies downloads, as one wouldn't need 3 or 4 different utilities running when trying to set up a fortress and avoid this save game transfer bollocks as well.
Something to think about?
