"There's absolutely no reason to make a large world." Tarn said 3 years ago. Actually I'd been making large worlds with max history length for 5 years prior, and my reasons for doing so then are unchanged. It produces richer world histories with more active personalities that you can interact with, that you can influence, but will ever be out of your control. These are fundamental building blocks for stories you could not have anticipated, no matter what you're able to do to change the world.

A small bias of probabilities of rare events happening more often to entities in the game that the user pays attention to would go a long way towards sparking a player's inner storyteller. Dwarf Fortress does this by presenting the player with so many unique permutations of ordinary entities that each unique configuration feels rare and special; statistically, DF sessions are not surprising if you hold all the game mechanics in mind. However, most players aren't interested in memorizing the wiki, so they're in a state of constant surprise. As long as the surprises don't sour into frustration (e.g. 2022-12 Steam version doesn't let me build up/down stair constructs to extend a downstairs upward, wth), then the tongue-in-cheek "!FUN!" make for good stories. Stories are born when plans go awry; frustration is born when the story is unlikely to entertain people you love.

You can absolutely construct an upstair on a dug downstair, at least at the time of writing. All you have to do is construct stairs as a construction beginning from the Z-level of the downstair and up to the Z-level you desire. Ensure you build up instead of trying to dig up, and click on the accessible level of the downstair then move upwards - not the other way around.

An adventurer isn't exactly ground up in gears, because in Adventurer Mode the player has more agency than other units around them. Non-player units may be capable of the same behaviors as the player, yet they won't actually engage in them. NPC's who agree to join the player lose more agency because there are more behaviors they won't engage in, and more behaviors they're compelled to. Certainly a lot of narrative emerges from a party composition, but it's still constricted more than necessary for gameplay.

33:48 And that, right there, is why I hate STEAM. It's also to be released on itch.io (DRM-free), and yet, likely due to the same terms that prevent devs from posting links to STEAM _and_ GOG on their official websites, Mr. Adams here only ever calls it the "STEAM release".
