1 creature per tile (a question)
« on: September 05, 2009, 05:04:03 pm »

I am always annoyed with having 5 dwarves and their dogs milling about on the same tile. Could this be prevented by drastically increasing their size in the raws?

 While I don't assume to know everything, as far as I know size just effects what clothing and armor a creature can use and their attack/defense formulas.

 This requires testing with size 10000000 creatures.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I believe an infinite number of critters can stand on one square, as long as all but one are laying down.  Toady said something to that effect in an interview.

The 100,000 dragons comment. There is room for 100,000 dragons on one tile as long as 99,999 dragons are lying down.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.
