Has anybody ever considered the idea that dwarves where still-suits? Why do you think they only drink/eat once or twice a month?
It would be a sufficient explanation for me.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

Why is this thread not in suggestions like the other million that are like it?

Anyway, yeah, I'm pro-poop.  It would make the engineering of a sustainable fort all the more difficult and,therefore, in my opinion, more fun as well as more Fun.

I really don't understand two things:

Why people are against the suggestion. Knowing Toady, he will add an init option to remove it entirely anyway if you don't want it. Extra options are never bad if they can be bypassed by people who do not want to experience them. If it is the "We want Toady working on other stuff" argument well Toady works on whatever he works on, and we don't have much say in it.

Why, as others have pointed out, is this not in the suggestion section?

Oh man, i've been giggling uncontrolably reading this thread. Then i remembered the documentry i saw last week about sewrage disposal around the world. The japanese are trying to turn the protien from refined sewrage into artifical meat (shitburger...). Took me another 5 minutes to calm down.

Now, seriously, the suggestion as outlined in the first post would be something i'd be quite happy to have. Changed my vote around on the enternal suggestion list thingo, but i'd really love it if this thread's first post was put in there instead of the current suggestion which isn't as fleshed out.

historically, sewage wasnt much of a burden, you'd just dig a big hole and fill it up, and farmers would take it to spread on the fields

It's really not necessary, nor useful. Just another annoying burden.
You're against annoying burdens and you play dwarf fortress?
I'm against vulgar annoying burdens.

I mean, SOMEONE would build a drowning trap that runs on sewage. And that's just wrong.

Yes, someone would.
Me.

What do you really need to turn Elves into Dwarves? Mutation could make them grow a beard; insanity effects could make them evil-minded, aggressive, tree-hating cave dwellers, and instant, full necrosis of their lower legs could make them short.

Well then Toady would need to add genital body parts... which I foresee ending poorly in wrestling.

If the game turned more open in the future, I'm sure it would be better for Mr. Adams to give us the layout for it, and have the community take care of this idea.


Worst case scenario, make it a by-product of the 'eat' command

Adding the parts isn't hard. I already did in my own mods.

I know this topic probably has come up a million times. but i thought of this a lot playing DF actually (i know weird right?), why with all the complicatedness that DF is, with just about everything necessary to survive in real life also implemented in DF. Only thing missing is POOP!

I think it would be something that should be implemented at a later date, But should be a toggle. for all those that complain that they don't want to have to manage a sewer system or have another hassle in DF< i say screw them. i want it, more challenge the better, and if it's a toggle on/off switch i don't see the harm. This is a thing that should be in DF!
