Missing Food? Also, cavespider habitats?
« on: November 25, 2008, 05:41:21 pm »
Every time I have a fortress for a while, the 'Other' classification in my food stockpiles seems to become more and more inaccurate.
Currently I have 1200ish 'other' food, but when I add up what I find in my stocks and kitchen pages I get
30 Longland Flour
179 Prepared Meals

Any idea what is happening here?


Secondly, I dug away part of a mountain, some of which included a bit of cavespider webbed areas. Now, the cavespider silk appears on my constructed floors. Will this always happen when I dig away at webbed areas, or is it possible to permanently destroy a cavespider habitat so that silk can no longer be gathered, if I dig away too much of it?

I'm pretty sure the only way to permanently get rid of the cave spiders would be to have 30 FPS-killing-balls-of-hatred, or to flood the chasm/pit with magma. Magma works for everything, including a drink for the wounded, and a nice place to take a swim.

(Sarcasm should be noted regarding all-purpose magam, please don't screw yourself over).

Cool, that adds another 285 - still well short of the listed amount though. What else could I be missing?

Any milled products even if inedible also get included, so flour, sugar and dyes.

IIRC the list of what appears under other is:
prepared meals
fat
tallow
flour
sugar
dye
leaves
syrup
cheese
milk

No, I accounted for that

This did it however.
Dyes...
Why in the blazes are dyes considered 'other' food?
Silly...

Thanks for the help everyone!

Raw fish counts as "other" too. Don't know if that helps.
