List Of Small Things to Toady
« on: May 21, 2011, 07:07:04 am »

This is just a little list of small requests and such to Toady which he'll never read or anything but I believe that these are things which the community as a whole would benefit from (open to discussion of course) and that wouldn't be too hard to add. It's not in suggestions because it's not really features or such.

Ok...

Personal request, allow custom description modifier editable raw things.


And now, things which I think should be done:
Fix Dungeon Master
Fix large starving grazing animals
Fix wagons
Fix clothing FPS killer (major!)
Fix starving-in-worldgen like crazy


Any more to add to this list?

Also, I must say of all the recent updates the one that made me the most excited was the bugfixes. You fixed so many long term bugs. I'd much rather have the game even less bug free and delay the new content for a few weeks or so.

Anyway, bravo Toady, bravo.  8)

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Toady will fix those things eventually. He is completely aware of most bugs anyway. Some things are just more important to do than others.

I agree with this list, I think. However, there's a suggestions forum a few blocks to the west of here.

While it is true that the OP has successfully listed things that need fixing, his topic did not contribute meaningfully to the forum, because it was not only restating old knowledge, but also doing so in the wrong location.

starving world gen people en mass and constantly will be minimized when the caravans and villagers move around more during world gen. Which is in a few releases.

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

List of things for Toady to do #3918: Make a new DF talk where he goes into detail about the future of dwarven personalities with guest speaker Scamps.

And if this already exists, please direct me to it.

Suggestion #4361: Remove petrified wood. No one likes it, it is horrible and a game breaker and it sucks.

ok fine, petrified wood becomes an init variable

Anyway, I think alot of the long term bugs are things that are going to be recoded eventually.  It wouldn't really make sense to hack wagons back in when they are eventually going to be recoded as multi tile creatures or moving buildings or something.

You never have enough to build a dining room out of enough. The rage that fills me when I find only one block of petrified wood, and the miner destroys it.

#4362: Feed Scamps.
#5724: Make pigs pork less.

It's like Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

But how is a mere light red stone 'game breaker'? Please give specifics because your analogy is vague and does not relate to the topic at hand.
