Alcohol Spills
« on: April 23, 2013, 08:08:47 pm »

So I embarked on a glacier and was setting stuff up, this was a reclaim and I noticed outside, for some weird reason, there was pools of beer.

Wot. It's all tuber beer too (Playing human), there's just pools of the stuff, it's bizarre. Any reasons for this nonsense?

As far as I know when you reclaim everything is scattered including the items in containers, the beer has just been randomly scattered during the reclaim process. This is why I believe most people say don't bother with food on your first embark if you are going to abandon and reclaim.

Does that mean you shouldn't listen to my pervious sentence and infact listen to everything I say?

Plus you mentioned glacier. If it's cold enough, containers can take cold damage (Similar to burning, but not quite)

Once embarked on an evil region, and it began to rain TUBER BEER! and I was wondering that this isn't dangerous weather at all!
even though it spilled on the ground, no dwarf tried to drink it though.

I strongly suspect this is the case.  Wooden barrels will wear away in very cold environments, as will anything made of wood save I believe constructions.

Was this in a mod?  I believe in vanilla you only get syndrome or blood rains.  It sucks that there's currently no way to capture the rain either way, though.

Vanilla DF HONEST! I don't even play evil regions, that happened when I just embarked just to see how it was.
