I have a dwarf Characture with high craft skill but i can't find any items to use, i cant get ore from the rocks in the mines and there are no hides on roths, is there going to be a crafting system implemented or have i just not found anything yet?

Crafting isn't really high on our priority list, and isn't in at this time. I'm not sure whether it will go in at all. It takes lots of blueprints, scripts, and time. It doesn't add much to the game compared to the costs. We can be scripting much cooler stuff instead, and not have crafting causing module bloat and lag.

However, those skills still have uses within the game.
