You need your dwarves to be idle from time to time, otherwise they are overworked.
Incidentally, the dwarves _do_ get symbols over their heads when they are hungry, thirsty, wounded, insane, etc. Also, the appearance of each dwarf is based entirely on that dwarf’s profession. The fact that all of your suggested improvements are basic features of the game and have been since the beginning is telling.
- db48x 4y agoOn reflection I feel that I should be more specific. Your dwarves need many things in order to stay happy and emotionally balanced. They need rest, relaxation, socialization, friendships, relationships, family, music, dance, worship, knowledge, culture, art, beauty, competence, alcohol and nostalgia. (And possibly several others that I have forgotten.) One or two of these things can be gained while they are working, but the rest all require that they not be pursuing tasks dictated by the player, which means that they are counted as “idle”.
