Looking at Rimworld gameplay, there are definitely more accessible and streamlined ways to rig up a "fortress builder" UI - I wonder if Toady plans to overhaul the interface, taking a few pages from their book, at some point.

@ryusei @matt
Then again, with wands, those generally also have an "aiming" prompt, which can be considered another different input menu - I wonder, how feasible it would be to restructure DF's menus to be more accessible in a fashion similar to how Brogue does it? I know that as things stand, the "labor" menus are a lost cause, and people rely on DwarfTherapist in its place for managing job permissions on a decent-sized fort.

@matt @ryusei
Hmm, with dwarf fortress, the actions with different keys/menus have fundamentally different means of interaction, yes? Like zones, or squads, or building placement? While here, all the actions are just "choose an item from a list"?

@matt
The roguelike "brogue" has a comparable suite of items to what is listed here, but indeed restricts the actual "interaction" commands to a straightforward "use", "throw", or "drop".

oh.
then, go to bed now so you can wake up with a useful/usable consciousness later?

@codl
why stay up to 6 am when you can instead wake up early, ready to ambush what stumped you the night prior with a rested mind and a fresh perspective?
