This is probably a stupid question since I don't know any code outside of old ancient BASIC. But one of the big gripes I have about z levels is how the old non z-level buildings have no roof.

Wouldn't it be possible to have the game see if a building lacks a roof layer and just check for walls and tiles with the roof or ceiling flag that prevents it from raining on those tiles, and just generate a basic flat roof on the floor above those?

EDIT: I mean yea, I'm sure there is a reason why it wouldn't work or else it would have been done already, I'm just kinda curious why it does not.

I guess it could, but the current system relies on the floor to assign a roof to it, and those rooves are limited to a few hardcoded types (i.e. a concrete roof or a 'floor' roof.)

Is it me, or does smoking marijuana with a pipe, or smoking a joint guarantuee falling asleep when needed? It never failed me whenever I needed to go to sleep before the tired debuff shows up onscreen. I haven't tried it with the insomnia trait though.

So I've been using goo canisters to ward off manhacks and such in a lab challenge and... I have a request.

When you 'e' a friendly blob can you make it so we can.... hug it...

A ... head?pat is also an acceptable alternative.

I usually use cough drugs for that.

To add on to this, maybe we should have more non-drug non-book recreational activities

Like swimming! Or model cars. Because honestly, it feels kinda weird that there's apparently no model car kits in new england.

I misread that last bit at first and was amazed at humanity's ability to make anything sexy.

I still love checking this thread after the emotions threads and being briefly confused.  Sometimes it fits too well.  Sign of a good (or at least expansive) simulator.

You actually can go swimming for fun. Kinda. If you're only wearing clothing that lies close to skin (the sort of thing you'd go swimming in), "wet" changes from a morale hit to a morale boost. It's a pretty powerful boost too, up to 40 points IIRC. I say kinda because you can get the same benefit from standing outside in the rain for a little bit, so the only mechanical reasons to actually go swimming are to train the skill (how I discovered this) or clear weather.

Also with the right equipment it seems like it's easier to fish by actually swimming after the damn things than using a fish trap, remembering not to wait too long before coming back and checking it, only to catch nothing anyway.

A fishing rod may be better, but I don't know.  Last time I tried to use a fishing rod in a river I kept getting told there were no fish, so I was probably doing it wrong.

You can use bear traps to catch big game and keep it alive.  Dogs seemed able to survive 1 snap.  At least within my mod they did.
