Food and syndromes
« on: August 26, 2011, 06:32:23 am »
I just got this strange idea and didn't find any threads discussing about it, so here it goes.

If I put a syndrome in plant products, for example plump helmets or alcohol definitions, is it possible to make the syndrome affect creatures that eat/drink those products? And how about meat?

Also, if what I described above is possible then does anyone knows how cooking affects to this? Does prepared meals have the properties of the materials used?

It's not currently possible, but it will be in the next version.

I have big plans for this.  Energy drinks, withdrawal effects, semi-poisonous delicacies...

Same here.

Poisonous meat and plants, herbal cigarettes and so on.

So, it is already confirmed that those things are possible in next version?

IIRC, he mentioned that he already has ingested syndromes working but they're just not implemented yet in DF talk 15 or 14. So I'd count on them being in the next version, yeah. Probably included in some form with vampires drinking blood to get more powerful or something, too.

...highly potent booze that causes slow liver necrosis but gives dwarves happy thoughts from decadent drinks...

What about gnomeblight?
How does it work, or is it hardcoded?

Gnomeblight works by contact (which is why it's nearly worthless.) It would be cool if it was a sort of fake booze that only the gnomes could drink, though.
