Small Requests\IDeas
« on: October 12, 2010, 09:12:36 pm »

New to DF and have been having a great time so far:

A: For above ground farming, please can we override\plow under the damn little shrubs and saplings
B: Can we set outsides areas to trash pickup via the zones menu (like a KeepClean zone)
C: Per-Dwarf priority sliders\config so I can put Hauling Stone as the lowest priority and task B as a high priority per dwarf? E.g. a weight we can specify under the labors menu
D: ambient noise based on what on the map
E: a Lock and Follow option so I can select a creature and lock and follow it around (great for when I have a lone archer sniping bad guys and have trouble keeping an eye on him on hilly terrain.
F: Link pressure plates and levers to ballistas
G: An option to do more select-all or shift-select blocks. Pain in the ass moving 40+ pages of crap to a trader...
H: Option to send invading parties and subsequent embark groups from an established fortress. (I want to sack this elf town soo bad) I want to be the ambusher from time to time :)
I: Storage options for stone and wood piles besides stone blocks (so they can be used in crafting). Quantum storage just feels to cheaty for me.

Agree

not sure if nessasary
C: Per-Dwarf priority sliders\config so I can put Hauling Stone as the lowest priority and task B as a high priority per dwarf? E.g. a weight we can specify under the labors menu
I think DT covers this(don't use it meself)
D: ambient noise based on what on the map
Already planned
E: a Lock and Follow option so I can select a creature and lock and follow it around (great for when I have a lone archer sniping bad guys and have trouble keeping an eye on him on hilly terrain.
Like this one
F: Link pressure plates and levers to ballistas
I think it would be imbalanced with the current state of traps, but could work when sieges are improved
G: An option to do more select-all or shift-select blocks. Pain in the ass moving 40+ pages of crap to a trader...
Agree
H: Option to send invading parties and subsequent embark groups from an established fortress. (I want to sack this elf town soo bad) I want to be the ambusher from time to time :)

Did you know that if you write 3.14 on a piece of paper and hold it in a mirror, it will say pie? And if you divide 42 by 3.14... you get 13.37!

It is incredibly satisfying to kill a man with a butterfly.
