Spattering of Blood
« on: June 03, 2013, 12:07:42 am »
I have noticed recently when one of my Dwarves was planting wild strawberries he left blood? How do I know where it is from? His blood is also in other places as well? UPDATE: I don't have a dwarf under the name that the blood is there by? What!??!

We appreciate light because we have been in darkness.
By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.

it could be a named animal, goblin, kobold or other invader. Was anything killed in a weaponstrap for example?

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Was it raining at the time? Rain washes off contaminants.

The dwarf could have been a caravan guard or merchant. If you're that interested, you could make a copy of your save, abandon the copy, and then look up the dwarf in the copy's Legends mode.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
