Admire stockpiled items?
« on: June 24, 2014, 03:02:12 pm »

Do dwarves get positive thoughts from admiring stored items when they walk near them?  More specifically, if I create a special 1 by X stockpile specifically for artifact quality items in my dining hall, will the dining dwarves get happy thoughts from all that useless garbage loveliness on display?

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

No. But there does exist a pedestal mod that allows you to turn these usually useless items into constructions that provide happy thoughts.

Also, otherwise useless artifact weapons can be admired by building them into a weapon trap in a high traffic area.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

This is what I use. It requires a new world gen if I remember right.
