You forgot the pitchblende toy boats.

No, I keep the pitchblende to myself. For when Toady finally implements nuclear power plants.
And give the elves the byproducts  8)

Depleted uranium? They could use those for powerful arrows, I don't think so.

You talk as if they could be bothered, and I never said we had to trade nuclear waste  ;D

This is late but:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What I don't want is for things like this to be impossible in Dwarf Fortress. The moment Toady makes the actual gameplay of Dwarf Fortress more forgiving ('Dwarves no longer go insane from annoying conversations') without a valid reason ('because the new personality rewrite causes many dwarves to be considered annoying to many other dwarves') is the moment Dwarf Fortress becomes boring.

Though I know this will never happen. Toady knows that losing is fun.

I wouldn't call depleted uranium waste, it's got plenty of military applications. And it's not made of wood, meaning they will find a way to kill us with it.

At least U drops bolts, not only bleeding arrows

What DON'T I want? Modern tech. Cars. Planes. Intertubez. Radios. Guns. Although, I'm sorely tempted to mod oil into the game.

Guns are not modern. In fact the Chinese were using explosives and a primitive form of kinetic projectiles long before the 14th century technological benchmark that Toady has expressed keeping to.

So yeah. Guns are fine.

One generally doesn't think of the Dwarves as being Chinese/Far Eastern in nature. I would generally westernize them in my imagination. Western audiences didn't get primitive guns until the late 1300s, which was pretty well after what I thought the time period we were playing in (I guessed it'd be the 12-13th century, actually.)
Also, historical relevance aside, I'd still personally rather not see firearms for the simple fact that anyone can use them and be effective in combat. Oh, noes, a Kobold thief! Send out a swordsdorf to dispatch him.

*Swordsdorf has been struck down.

Oh, the kobold had a hand cannon. Fun.

I know. I remove them from Gobs because I don't think they should have machinery. Now, if they were to steal them from Us or Dorfs, fine, but Gobs shouldn't be smart enough to make winches.
