(Liquid[10]) in barrel?
« on: May 09, 2013, 09:51:39 pm »
I found this from a caravan that ran afoul of a goblin ambush. What is it, and what can I do with it?

I have had a "liquid" before I believe it is just a harmless bug... dunno what causes it.

I need some way to put armor on babies so I can start training them early.

It should be drinkable.  How do you know an unidentified substance isn't booze without drinking it?

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.

It's a glitch caused by civilizations having access to creatures with SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD. I guess maybe it's mistakenly grouping them together with the ones that have SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT and trying to make their extract tradeable even though they don't actually have an extract - that "liquid" is actually material NONE:NONE in-game, so it is quite literally made of nothing.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

liquid nothingness... and all the trouble when you try to divide nothing into its seperate components...

seriously (or maybe not serious), the things that come up in this game, by accident or design, are just funny

QUICK!!! @ JTTCOTE!!

You must move the liquid into another barrel, while leaving at least one unit of [liquid] behind. You will have divided nothing, and the final barrier of dwarven impossibility will be breached.
