Every 28 seconds, the game informs you that it's raining. If you are one of the lucky souls with an oilcloth cloak, this equates to three lines of text given to you every 28 seconds in which you are reminded that it is, in fact, still raining, but worry not because your oilcloth cloak has saved you from a soggy fate! Serafina bless that cloak. I love it. But every 28 seconds is a bit much to be reminded of why I love and wear this cloak. I'd be happy with every 60 seconds, really. Or maybe even every 90.

I'm fairly sure this has been suggested before, but I'll suggest it again:

Please, for the love of all that is good, let crushing plants automatically move through a stack rather than having to crush one at a time. I think some other craft does something similar already?

Borrowing Kaiju's phrasing, a suggestion for armor encumbrance to be reworded as armor hindrance to clear up armor vs weight confusion given much have encumbrance in the phrasing currently.

Have DEPOSIT COINS work the same as DEPOSIT ALL COINS. I always try the first before remembering it's the second.

I just want more Company functionality options. Promotion to ranks where other members of the Company can recruit people. Perhaps an option to transfer leadership. An Option to Kick people from a Company so they no longer get company wide mail, that sorta thing.
Wut?

For hooded things to add a little bit of warmth when drawn over our heads.

Let us do NAMES SEARCH. That way when I name someone disguised as their pendant color and I see them again later undisguised and recognize their color, I can search what I named them while they were disguised and not have to sift through all the other names on my list.

It would be helpful, especially for items bought from festivals, if when you used EXAMINE on the item, it would tell you if it was dyeable.

A couple of things.

Firstly, similar to a suggestion above, I would dearly like to be able to type mail alias search followed by either a name or post number and get a single-line result, instead of having to deal with dozens upon dozens of useless lines of spam each time I'm trying to figure out what somebody's mailbox is, or whom a mailbox is associated with.

Secondly, for very similar reasons, it would be extremely helpful, especially to those of us using a screen reader, if all the chilly/cold body parts shoed up as a single line in the output of a health command. For example, "Your head, neck, chest and abdomen are chilly."

Thank you.
Stop putting watermellons into the first thing you see that looks like it can hold a watermellon. It is most rude, because you'll only make them feel like they don't belong.
