...Where do dwarves go to the bathroom?
« on: May 02, 2010, 02:26:00 pm »
Just wondering, this is such an accurate game, there must be a reasonable explanation of... where my dwarves shit and piss?

Dwarves do not "go" as you would understand it. The dwarven digestive system took a practical solution to all the messy business of waste removal. Dwarves live with the stone, lay in the stone, work the stone, tend the stone, and *cough* excrete the stone. Now, the next time you see a dwarf shaking gravel out of his trousers you'll know what he's doing.

Their highly efficient digestive systems absorb everything they eat and drink. What's not absorbed is sweated or breathed out of their bodies.

Oh, and this has been suggested a billion times already.

The dwarf is a highly efficient life form, powered mainly by alcohol. Its stomach is a glowing green pit that breaks down food into energy with 100% conversion. Sunlight, however, can cause the dwarven gastric system to overcharge the converters, resulting in a need to purge the reactant build up through the only known gastric orifice: the mouth.

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

They breathe it out, actually. It's why Elves are always afraid to go underground...

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.
