You gotta love Dwarf Fortress.

Olin Durden would have a field day with this.

Think of it; with all the materials in place, one can make BOMBS out of this stuff. Every dwarf would have a burn mark on their hands, and spar clubs would be formed all over the place.

The third rule is, if you bring candy, you have to bring enough to share.
You didn't bring enough, did you? Did you?

Pressure plates that go after weight can be used to keep the fat dwarfs out of the food stockpile:)

What I wonder is, will these kinds of changes affect non-Dwarves?  Will the King of Goblins be an Ahnold style Terminator of muscles, or perhaps some hyper-skinny waif, or even a right proper ball of lard, like all good kings?

Everyone will be affected by this new body system, so you could find a really fat cat.

I bet the first bug that comes out of this will be a spherical bronze colossus. That is going to be damn-near impossible to fight.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

Goblin Kings (who are not always goblins) are responsible for almost all of my recruit deaths, thanks to their love of crossbows. These are kings who go out and personally wreck your face.

Compare them to dwarf kings, who basically sit at home and make demands.

Gobbo kings'd better look like Ahnold! (Although being fat would probably give you more protection against blunt attacks?)

Now I'm picturing an epic battle cosisting of three goblin kings attacking my fort. One is an Arnie remake, one is an MJ clone, and the last one looks like Kingpin.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

I loaded up my save in the new version, spent a minute trying to find my archery range before figuring it was the room with Xs down both sides: bins of ammo and archery targets.
Urist McCrossbower cancells practice crossbowery: Unsure of which end of the room to shoot at.

Can you build an entire fortress out of the rendered fat of anything yet? If so I think I found a new challenge.
Lard Fortress.

Note: I never use soapmakers for well... Soap. So I have no clue what they're capable of.

Soapmakers? Oh! You mean prospective disembowelment reaction technicians.

Well, you could build buildings out of charcoal, too.
