no more low boots
« on: September 09, 2007, 10:53:00 am »

I don't know when this happened but all of a sudden the option to make low boots disappeared from my leatherworks build menu. I can still make high boots but no more low boots.
Actually I never make them anyway but it is rather odd.

Thanks. Hmmm. Could be that I cannot build them from the start of my fortress I never payed attention until I wanted to make 1 pair of low boots just for fun.
But if it is climate-controlled, it does not really make sense for a warm, tropical climate to have only high boots and no low boots. Except maybe if they are safety high boots with Kevlar noses, then it would offer some protection against elephants trampling on dwarves' feet  :D

A lot of it is just randomized.  Each culture has vague solutions for each temperature zone (even if they don't live there, it has how they attempt to deal with), and it won't necessarily always give high/low boots.

Yer it's this ridiculous level of detail that makes df so replayable.
