I often notice that our DF orphanage does not see the 'action' it deserves. It's rather uncommon for people to adopt fruits from there, despite housing quite a few tidy little powers to be taken?
Why do you think that is?
I think it's an issue of time and profile. Really, some might find it a chore to go through how many pages of fruit profiles to find one they liked? Titles only offer a hint to the ability and perhaps people are overlooking good abilities because it's hard to get an approachable view of the fruit?
What with our check in having recently ended, I think I have a solution!
Since our DF book already has tons of DF entries yet to be deleted, and there are rumours of a rework to the book itself, I think a section should be added for 'available powers'?
We could transfer the details of the fruit like name and ability, with the profile link, into a new section rather than delete them?
And, since all approved fruits should have a book entry, it's a simple task to retrieve these from the existing orphanage and add them to this orphanage area?
Of course, this would mean we may need to add a new section to the template so that linked orphanage options can be deleted from the book/removed from the section when their new incarnation is approved, but I think this would give a whole lot more visibility to fruits that are at the moment languishing in obscurity?
