Insomniac Dwarves
« on: December 10, 2008, 11:27:09 pm »
Can anyone confirm that dwarves will never sleep if their only option is to sleep on a cage trap?

I stationed a recruit on a cage trap, set him to sleep on ground. He eventually became drowsy but would not sleep until I stationed him on the square next to that one. I set that test up because my previous test, involving the hammerer and a room with nothing but cage traps, a well, and a dumped-but-reclaimed food barrel led to a really pissed off and really really drowsy noble a couple months later.

And before you ask, yes, I am up to no good.

He once spent a week visiting a cave in which there lived seven giants.  Each day, he would come in, track down each of the giants, and beat it to the point of unconsciousness.

IIRC there used to be a lot of problems with dwarves sleeping on traps, so I'd guess they have aversion to sleeping on traps now. Though I can't confirm for sure, and by the way, don't try to sell him back to Mountainhome, he might escape from the cage  ;D

An aversion I get, but that hammerer was locked in that room a very long time and never slept. Am I just not patient enough?
