Missing the most important room of all.
« on: April 04, 2007, 07:33:00 pm »
Hello,
  hate to harp the whole realism thing, but shouldn't DF really address the pressing need for restrooms/bathrooms/latrines.  Not that it would make the game, just can't see a real fort without (and, no, no one is going to walk a mile to the river; and, yes, you could use a bucket in your room, but, that whole thing is not factored-in, and nobles would expect better; and bathtubs??).

p.s.  what does "Bay Watcher" have to do with DF (well, actually, with anything)?

Well for Bay watcher I'm assuming the whole "BAY 12" thing has something to do with us checking out how it develops so... yeah bay watching. But for restrooms that would give me a reason to work on channels and stuff. Indoor plumbing. Oh yeah!

I think it would turn Dwarf Fortress into The Sims: Fantasy Edition, or something. I'm all for some realism here and there but it'd be annoying to see "Hackem Slashem cancelled job Mining: Reason: Gotta take a dump."

It would really increase traffic and make room planning more complicated...

"Hacken Slashem cancelled job: Fight Evil Demon Lord: Reason: Gotta pee! Gotta pee!"

Yeah, I really don't want yet another reason for dwarves to drop their jobs and run off.  Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, and monsters are about enough for me to handle.

I find enough use for channels in defense, farming, and aesthetic decoration.

Hahah I literally lolled!

I recently thought of that myself. Like said, it'd give great reason for designing an advanced waste disposal system, especially with the 3D stuff to come.

Uh... what about... dumping a tankful of waste water on some siege invaders  :eek:

Nasty! Course, once disease is in, you could sicken a siege group, and just wait for them to die off...

I'm thinking you could have running water carry the waste away.

But everyone knows, REAL dwarves poop in magma flows, and if they're in combat they just go in their armor and use it to some obscure tactical advantage.

You could kill people with sewage steam, or drown goblins in it! Imagine the possibilities!

They get a union-mandated break every three or four months - what more do they want?
