Yeah but I doubt Toady implimented "Death by over-inflation"

I guess I could just go to the post office when it opens in 45 minutes.

That was random.  Sure!  Of course, I guess it's no more random than everyone's borgly borgle comments.  Everyone!  Back OT or Toady will be distracted!

And...
Toady wins the non-sequester contest.

Sort of. It WAS a direct reference to the dev notes, so it's not really a non-sequitur for this thread. He's talking about mailing out the crayon rewards.

Question for Toady: Will the new soldier changes let us stop a soldier from what they're doing? Or at least let us change their priorities mid-combat? I just had a champion spend an entire fight chasing a small animal around the map while enemy archers fired at her. Luckily she didn't get hurt and my other soldiers killed off the archers, but it was still aggravating. Especially since, in the current system, even switching a squad off of 'harass animals' only stops new targets and doesn't call them off any existing ones.

Although I'd be ok with dwarves that have some sort of single-minded personality attribute having that problem. Then it would just be more flavor.

now that all objects have a proper size, will throwing damage be fixed ?

one of my dwarves had a tantrum in a ammo-stockpile...again.....

[Toady One]

I'll get to questions tomorrow (as it's way after my bedtime), but the post office mission was successful.  I also upped my Crayola to the 120.  If they put in the effort to expand a bit more, Bay 12 might even have something with 8 bit graphics.

[Neonivek]

Ooooh questions? I better start thinking of some...

[Mephansteras]

Looking forward to the answers. Thanks, Toady!

[Akroma]

if a dwarf is killed in the forest, and no one has [HEARING] tags to hear it, does it make a sound ?

[Granite26]

Yes it does, however workshops in deaf fortress do not.

[Neonivek]

Here is my question:

Now that creatures can have non-standard materials for their parts will this allow dual purpose for them?

For example will a being with a skeleton made of Iron be capable of making both rather strong Bone armor and be capable of having its bones melted down into Iron?

Or for something less "Melt it down"ish. If someone's skin was made out of Jewels, could you cut it into gems or turn it into extravegant leather?

Basically stuff along those lines I am aware that there is also a chance that certain combos could do nothing (For example a Tiger with Ruby eyes may not give material for rubies upon cutting it up just by virtue of having ruby eyes alone)

[Patarak]

My question; Will just about everything become materials? Dwarfs will the made out of muscle and bone and whatnot, but will objects be able to be made out of "dwarf" material?

[Footkerchief]

My question; Will just about everything become materials? Dwarfs will the made out of muscle and bone and whatnot, but will objects be able to be made out of "dwarf" material?

Yes, the dev log mentioned that you can make things out of dwarf lung material, including other creatures like a "dwarf lung man."
