Do tools have any use?
« on: September 15, 2012, 01:37:48 pm »

I'm referring, in particular, to stuff like boning knives, mortars and that stuff.

Are they around in Dwarf mode simply for flavour?

Knives make good weapons.
And since they only occur in adventure mode, this may be the wrong subforum.

'DF Gameplay Questions' doesn't necessarily just mean dwarf mode.

Anyway, most of the tools seen in Dwarf Mode do each have a use, but you shouldn't see things like mortars and boning knives. Carving knives are in dwarf mode, I believe, but not the other knives.

I thougght it was one of the Dwarf Mode Discussion threads I had open, and he specifically noted that the knives and mortars are the ones he was speaking of. I have never seen a carving knife in Fortress Mode.

i do remember seeing knives in merchant inventories, and bought a copper mortar to melt.

I just wanted to know if all they were good for in Dwarf Mode was melting.
