I would heavily advise anyone especially with coding experience to come talk to us in the thread as well. Suggestions on the general use of said mechanics to the gameplay loop is useful but what really matters is how to programmatically make any of this happen. If a way could be demonstrated to make this work and still be performant and allow for a more realistic water cycle and river flow and stuff that would likely be a huge boon the possibilities for vanilla, assuming I can convince the rest of the team of how important it is.

You’re on the Discord, right? If you ping me in the mod development channel it’d be easier for me to give you a good explanation there, but the shortest answer is that the languages files *are* JSON and I meant that it’s possible without a code mod, now. You still need all the language strings, but rather than it simply not working at all or only allowing for one static name there is now a “generic” namer that you can take advantage of to make more dynamic names like, say, `Honey topped frumenty with egg” or “Frumenty with egg and blueberries”.

There are some tricks to get the proper dynamic naming purely in JSON but you can even add all the proper language strings too and this can easily be a mod!
