I have a dwarf (UristMcFoodMan) and he spams messages that he can't feed his pet because his bunny drowned. Ideas on how to get rid of him?

[Owlbread]

In this world we'd give him a hug and help him bury his pet, in the world of DF we'd burn him into black smoke by dropping him in a volcano.

[Sutremaine]

Has the rabbit been reported dead? Maybe you could try using DFHack to autodump the corpse on dry land and have it found so that the dwarf knows it's dead, or get the corpse out manually. Or you could lock the dwarf in his bedroom, which would stop the spam temporarily and then permanently.

[Mimodo]

how useful is said dwarf? If not so useful, perhaps assign him to prospecting the bottom of a magma pipe

[Loud Whispers]

Do you have a necromancer?

[crekit]

they feed their pets?!

[weenog]

they feed their pets?!

Not very reliably, but yes.

[Loud Whispers]

they feed their pets?!

With the best food they can find. It's not uncommon for a Dwarf to attempt to feed a yak roasted yak for example...

Important note here is that ALL animals on the same square will be fed.

Do you suppose it works like this with caged animals? Ie: if there are a dozen pandas in a cage and someone feeds them some bamboo they all get fed?

..I need to try caging most of my useless peasants in order to reduce their food/alcohol intake. All of them can gnaw on the same plump helmet.

I usually get flooded with plump helmets even with one or two 2x2 or 3x3 farms, I wish they would drink and eat more than they do.

No it hasn't been reported yet. I shall try this. As for the bedroom idea I am trying to do that now but he is really occupied with being annoying.

This is a new fort and it hasn't struck magma yet. And he is just a farmer. We have 2 others and thats enough for a small fort.

Do you have a necromancer?

You mean like an invading one? If so, nope.

[Replica]

He is just a filthy peasant farmer.

[Kaos]

Do you have a necromancer?

a necro would make it worse, I had one of my dogs killed by a wild bear, then a necro raised the dog before anyone noticed it died, now I have the dog perpetually missing, and another entry for the raised dog that was killed.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, the necromancer could help the farmer feed its pet bunny...once devouring flesh is implemented, at least.
