A bear drank my hooch.
« on: April 02, 2010, 09:54:47 pm »

So, enjoying the new version and all. Interesting experiences concerning animals:

1. Started off right next to a polar bear. I think I spawned next to a cluster of macaques once in an older version, so I guess that's intentional.

2. Polar bear wasn't hostile. Was thankful for this, but I'm not sure if they're supposed to run from your dwarves as your dwarves run from them.

3. He drank my booze. Apparently polar bears have a taste for dwarven wine now, which is incredibly awesome.

Sadly he ran off after helping himself to a drink, so I guess he had to drive later and didn't want to overdo it. For comparison, the walruses tracked snow onto my trade depot, but seemed uninterested in my culinary supplies.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

3) Bears and some others, always had the tag:    [CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER]

Or something similar to it.

Lucky you, all you have are polar bears. A giant zombie rat absconded with my alligator sweetbreads earlier today.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

In all seriousness, "hooch"? I like it.

Bears aren't too much trouble. However trouble comes from confusing a regular polar bear with a skeletal polar bear.

That was a really short fortress.

A mountain gnome drank all the booze I embarked with before I could get an underground food stockpile set up. Good thing there's a brook nearby.
