No, I'm not drunk.  My dwarves have just had a caravan visit from mountain home and one of the items is

Liquid Barrel (Cedar)

Contents:
(Liquid[10])

... wat?

I think I'm going to buy it - just to see if any dwarf is brave enough to drink it.

I recall that this is a recent bug. The liquid is just a generic object and won't do anything interesting, nor will anyone drink it.

[Quietust]

It's a bug that was introduced in version 0.31.01 - if a civilization has access to any creature with a "suck blood" attack (e.g. sea lampreys or mosquitos), then it will be capable of trading a "liquid" which is actually made of nothing at all.

actually made of nothing at all.

That's got to be marketable as a diet aid.

So, it's a barrel of diet soda?

[Crashmaster]

Liquified nothing, sort of a liquid vacuum I imagine.

It's like drinking distilled water that doesn't contain any water

[Quietust]

The liquid's material literally decodes as "NONE:NONE" (material type and subtype both equal to -1) - it has no material at all, therefore it's made of nothing.

[Kaos]

let's just say is another element of DF quantum physics quirks, a barrel of liquid nothing... probably when you atom-smash something with a bridge in another part of the DF world an empty barrel, gets filled with the liquified quantum nothingness or something like that...

So... It's just a bunch of distilled?

And if the caravans don't bring you enough, you can request even more liquid from diplomats who offer trade agreements.

So let me get this straight, you got a barrel filled with a liquid that isnt a liquid, but is a liquid that just doesn't exist, but does exist at the same time?

I blame !!Science!!.

It is a liquid and it does exist. These two things are absolutely certain. The liquid however is made of nothing.

[Kaos]

I wonder, has anyone tried spilling it? leaving it outside so it freezes? can you get "a puddle of liquid" or "frozen liquid"?


technically speaking a puddle of liquid would be like the acme portable holes they used to have in the loony toons, a quantum hole into nothingness 


Edit: found the pic!

[forsaken1111]

Would it become a 'cloud of liquid' if heated?
