Why do the dwarves eat, drink and sleep, but no one of them ever made a fart after he ate a good olmsman roast? I think the dwarves need a new life-cycle parameter - the need of WC =). And if they don't have it fulfilled, they make a "chunk of used meal"     which creates a lot of miasma. We already have the miasma thing, why not to apply it to dwarves? And there should be a zone designated for toilet usage... And maybe a new piece of furniture - some rock throne with a hole to designate a toilet "ROOM", and if they use the zone only, make it far from home like REFUSE because there'll be a lot of miasma. But the toilet stool will create only very small miasma after a dwarf sat on it, thus we'll be able to designate a special room for toilet usage.
Imagine the dwarven public toilet. =)

At least I think it's nice fot some realism and flavour.
Give the dwarves a place to fart!

(Imagine this: "Urist cancels drink: troubled with wind").

Dwarfs don't shit, they simply puke all the waste out!

[ilnar]

because you think dwarves need more reasons to stop working/soldiering
 :eek:

dwarf cancels fight, crapping.

[Deon]

Because they need to shit =). At least fart. And if the toilets are planned good, it won't interrupt a work much. Also about soldiering - I think after army arc is released, there'll be an option to make soldiers ignore their needs in exchange for bad thoughts. "Urist has been content lately. He complained about the lack of toilets lately".

[Anti-Paragon]

The idea of adding waste/sewers/toilets gets tossed around on here. I guess the fact it keeps getting brought up is a testament to how much people want it...
It's really up to toady though. If he deems it proper, it'll go in (or rather, come out).

To continue to the chain of toilet humor...

Urist had the displeasure of having squishy boots lately.

Also, it might add another smear tag aside from water, blood, and vomit to your dwarf's thongs...  :roll:

[Sithlordz]

I really think we have enough waste products at the moment.  Blood, ichor, vomit, various body parts, corpses, bones, and we need less dwarf-fuss and more cool stuff.  Honestly, who wants to ensure your dwarves have somewhere decent to crap, when Toady could spend the time implementing it making something better, like magic.

[andris-berzins]

needs toilet with water supply

[Capntastic]

Toady's said many times he's not sure if he wants to deal with things in this direction.

[Fenrir]

Toady's not making a reality simulator. If it doesn't add to gameplay, it shouldn't be in the game. This doesn't add to gameplay.

[Helmaroc]

They could just crap off the side of a pit/river.

To remove waste for those who have to put it in a stockpile: Barrel it up, dump it on the goblins.

[Draco18s]

Only if we can make it fun.

[Eagleon]

If you think it doesn't enhance gameplay, you're not creative enough. I can see a couple power goals related to having this.

A royal assassin taking cover in a latrine as guards pass by is soiled from above, and later while sneaking through the camp is smelled out of hiding by a handmaiden of the bandit leader. The assassin is ridiculed and executed.

Snake-cult kobolds swarm over the gabbro desert bunker, using the only tools they have available to smoke out the dwarves - this morning's crunched lizards and the abandoned smouldering watch fires of the glass tower.

The archmagus traces the final rune of the archway, confident in his abilities, and a shimmering gate appears between the stones. Unknown to him, instead of creating the idem rune, his fingernail slipped and etched ocul instead - a catastrophic embarrassment for his career, but the portal to the dimension of horsely nightsoil has proven an indispensable boon to local agriculture.

Plus it's just amusing.

I've said before that it would be a fun new way to kill nobles.  A well placed ballista in the duke's commode would be quite entertaining.

Old enough to know better. Oh well.
