Are refuse stockpiles supposed to terrify certain dwarves?

Are they being terrified by dead dwarf bodies?  That's supposed to be scary, but there was that thing I mentioned back when I was talking about quests, where things like teeth would scare them under certain circumstances.  I think there's probably a little too much flipping out as opposed to just negative thoughts, and that'll change when I do that thought rewrite I need to finish before job priorities.

I found that some of my dwarves (those with low tolerances for danger) were becoming horrified on seeing dead goblin bodies in the refuse stockpile when dumping other things there.  Mantis item 0007435 has more detail.

I too noticed that one of my dwarves became frozen in terror and canceled his job upon seeing a dead kobold. Not too strange, I guess, if their personality details actually account for their actions.

I do hope that easily-frightened dwarves and pacifist NPCs will become more of a personality thing in the relatively near future.

Will removing teeth/tongues ever impair/inhibit speech?

Will removing teeth/tongues ever impair/inhibit speech?

Ever is a long time. So, probably yes.

Ever is a long time. So, probably yes.

Also, it's on the bug tracker, so you can monitor any progress there.

Looking into interaction details revealed two new breath attack types: TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW and UNDIRECTED_ITEM_CLOUD. How exactly are they used? Do they work with both CDI and IT_MATERIAL?

(I'm guessing "no" for IT_MATERIAL, since it's only used with weather effects, and there's no WEATHER_CREEPING_ITEM or WEATHER_FALLING_ITEM, as amusing as it would be to have it rain fish or have a cloud of locusts drift by)

For what's it's worth, this is an item breath that I believe works as well as any item breath currently will work (that is, no damage, item spatter coloring the floor, etc)

Item breaths don't actually create the real items, just make a "cloud" that covers the floor. (so no touhou flying daggers unfortunately )  At the moment the base mechanics thereof are pretty much only for tree growths, though I suppose, you could mod something like spore-spraying creatures.  Haven't tested to see, if syndromes activate with this interaction.

[Knight Otu]

At least they can be picked up by adventurers. I didn't expect much more than what we did get.

Happy birthday, ThreeToe!

[Witty]

With the current model of morale, do diffrent creatures exude diffrent levels of horror? IE is a dragon more horrifying to a militia dwarf than say an alligator or a gazelle?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Are "secret" critters like FBs and demons scarier than other more mundane creatures?

Stopped dwarves from breeding like animals, technically speaking

So... what exactly does this mean?

It was that dwarves were calling their own code but also the animal breeding code, which just picks out a dwarf male somewhere to be the father.

Thank you!
