Horrified
« on: December 01, 2014, 09:35:15 am »

Does this happens frequently with you?
I have a bone carver who isn't exactly brave or bold or anything at all. Sometimes when she goes make totems she will cancel job: horrified. Is this common?

I'm not sure if she can overcome the fear. But maybe it is not worthy to train her. Just assign her another non-corpse-related job.

do you have sentients on your refuse pile? I think sometimes even non-sentients will horrify those with weaker constitutions. It's a real pita to sort them. I also think civies don't get increase discipline from stuff like that.

Guess this is a matter of time then, everyone in the fortress here is part of the military, she may get some discipline in the next training session or maybe killing the occasional thief...

Dwarves get "didn't feel anything" from watching animals die but get "horrified" or "traumatized" from watching sentients die. I started dumping sentient corpses away from the main stockpile and it seems to help.

Training discipline also helps with rampaging and bloodthirsty dwarves for some reason, my weavers are the only dwarves without it because they spend all of their time collecting webs. Sometimes they just attack the peaceful troglodytes and literally shred them into pieces for no reason.

Give your weavers an electrum cabinet in their room, they deserve it.

My military can hardly fight the cave animal men without sustaining at least one loss.

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.

FTFY. Yay bugs.

Putting a hatch over the dump pit, although this is kinda exploity, doesn't allow them to see what they are dumping their item into.

Well maybe not "exploity" because I guess they could technically open it, throw the stuff in, then shut it. But if they did that, they would possibly see the fun things in the hole.


Forget what I just wrote. I am incorrect. They just dump onto the hatch cover.

Trogolytes are just the Dwarven punching bag. They're renewable, put up little fight, can be found almost everywhere, and are even smaller than Dwarves! Man, I love training my military with them :D

I did out little "trog nests"; series of pointless tunnels around my fort that I then fill with trogs. It's only accesible from within the fort. Occasionally an invader with Building Destroyer makes it in and pops open the trog nest and the lil' buggers get everywhere.
I don't know why I do this.

I once used a bunch of elk birds, yaks, cows, bulls, rams, and pecocks shoved into a single cage to attempt to slow a gemstone FB by releasing them. The results were...interesting.

My bone carver would get horrified thoughts because _someone_ placed an entire forgotten beast in the bone stockpile (which is only set to accept bones, skulls, shells, etc). Half my fort is horrified now anyway, since they keep running into the trap corridor to loot all the bodies in there :)

Depending on the amount of each, I'd expect the beast bomb to win. If the amounts were large enough (and assuming that you did this before the most recent update), there were probably zere net casualties. I've heard that even though they won't be replaced as quickly, 100+ creatures will kill anything even if they aren't all the same species.
