Booze and food variety
« on: January 09, 2023, 05:43:59 pm »
I was wondering how big of a variety is "needed" for the dwarves to be happy? (like 3-4 or more in a 8-10 range or even more to not feel too same ish for the dwarves)

it seems like, these days, it is based on preferences of the dwarf in question. I imagine they DO still get tired of eating the same thing, but I could not find explicit reference to this for the current versions...

Every dwarf will like at least one type of booze, and may like none to several food ingredients. Dwarves get happy thoughts from eating food and drinking booze they like; the meal's value can improve only those thoughts. There are 76 types of booze and hundreds, if not thousands, of types of food preferences. The difficulty in obtaining all types of booze or food means that it is practically impossible to satisfy the need to eat a good meal.

That is why i asked, but thanks none of the less. I know about preferences, but that is (as wiki says) impossible to cater for, but to make a "limited" kitchen set up, aiming for somethings constant might work well. (try to come up with a setup that will not yield 10k+ food / booze but still automated with orders.

Pretty sure this is out of date. Toady changed it to also be fulfilled by high quality in one of the 0.47.xx versions due to player feedback.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Yup, it's part of 47.05. That one was the first DF bugfix release that was released halfway through a big development cycle thanks to the power of modern version control, so you may have missed it, here's the notes.
