The first feature that went into the next update is manual control over workshop production. The randomness in the previous versions was temporary, al

Can I have something like: …?

.Cheap flammable wooden floors
.Expensive fireproof stone floors
.Gold floors for attracting better monsters
.Red magic floors (costing mana) for attracting monsters faster
.Blue magic floors (costing mana) to stop the room attracting monsters completely
.Green magic floors (costing some mana) to somewhat increase efficiency
.Yellow magic floors (costing lots more mana) to really increase efficiency
.Iron floors that give a defense bonus when occupied
.Muddy floors (costing wood) that give a defense penalty when occupied

Hey, floors defining which rooms attract monsters is a great idea, thanks!

[Keeperman]

Rooms could start off standard (muddy/wooden/flammable). You could choose from a variety of upgrades such as:
.Efficiency/productivity upgrades
.Monster lure upgrades (eg. attract better monsters, specific monsters, no monsters, attract monsters faster, libraries that don’t attract shaman, lairs that don’t attract wolves etc.)
.High ground upgrades (to boost defense of occupying creature)
.Low ground (to lower defense of occupying creature)
.Fire proofing upgrade
.Combinations of these sorts of things
.Compounded upgrades like “Vampire Lure I”, “Vampire Lure II”, “Vampire Lure III” for graveyards.

The floors could look different depending on the upgrades the room has. The type of upgrades could change the patterns and colors of the room tiles.

[Keeperman]

Each room could be developed through a different upgrade path, where you choose the direction you want to take from the available options.

Ideas for library upgrades (costing 50 mana each):

No Lure
Shaman Lure
Shaman Lure II
Shaman Lure III
Spell research basic (monsters learn basic spells here)
Spell research advanced
Spell research expert
Mana generation
Mana generation II
Technology capacity (5 techs can be researched in the library)
Technology capacity II (All techs can be researched in the library)
Fire proofing

[Keeperman]

You could give the forge upgrades like:

Quality I (Better quality equipment. More likely to get +6 chain mail etc.)
Quality II
Quality III
Production Speed I (Make things faster)
Production Speed II
Production Speed III
Production Cost I (Cheaper weapons)
Production Cost II
Production Cost III
No Lure (Doesn’t lure monsters)
Goblin Lure (Attracts goblins better)

[Keeperman]

There are 2 types of tasks.

1) The sort that imps do (mining, forestry, construction)
2) The sort of activities other creatures do (training, study, sleep)

Could you make it so that I can stop an imp mining or building etc. by choosing his activities?

Currently if I want to stop mining and start cutting trees then I have to micro manage the selected tasks on the map.
