Hey Toady, What's your favorite DF drink? Are you a Dwarven Rum man, or a Strawberry Wine guy? Or some MYSTERY THIRD OPTION!?!

Purring Maggot Milk?

NOT A DRINK

[IronValley]

I've always wanted to taste "Swamp Whiskey"

But I'm pretty sure it would be a one time thing.... I never really get along with Whiskey... Dwarven Beer would be great though

When coding, I prefer Longland.

He doesn't often drink beer, but when he does, he prefers Dos Equis.

Stay dwarfy, my friend...


[edit: fixed it for you...]

Now the big question is: Are they floodgates, bins, or up/down stairs?

[Cruxador]

Currently, creatures pass on physical characteristics to their children. At least theoretically, this is respected in worldgen and over generations of breeding yields nations of dwarves who appear ethnically similar to one and other, but ethnically distinct from those of other nations. How will the entity sprawl interact with this genetic data-transfer?

[Untelligent]

How far out will this entity sprawl, er, sprawl? Will cottages and hamlets start to pop up somewhat far from the city centers? Will we get an indication of sprawl on the embark screen -- perhaps an additional local map screen, similar to the relative elevation and steepness screens? Will we even be able to embark on the sprawl, or will the majority population and their homes be too abstract to actually create for now?

Will we have goblin bones re-enabled for use in decoration? I recall I used them for that purpose in 40d.

That is a bug. Skeletons require butchering to produce bone stack as they will not decay on their own (this is result of fix that added unrotable links to keep skeletons intact for pruprse of enabling skeletal undead.) and since dwarves do not butcher intelliget beings...

If you manage to sever limb that decays to single bone, you will get goblin bone that can be used for decoration and crafts.

I don't quite see how it's a bug that dwarves don't butcher goblins or use their remains to decorate stuff or create crafts when their ethics say that this isn't a proper thing to do. Sure, I guess you could tell them to ignore their ethics and have them suffer bad thoughts, but that's more of a feature request, isn't it? Well, and the possibility to make use of sentient creature corpses for more practical things like bolts.

Anyway, With the entity populations and according site rewrite, what are the chances that more religions spring up, even if only as small shrines? Currently, it seems that it's almost always the same divinity in a given civilization that gets a religion dedicated to it, so that when you see a Cult of Gold, you know that it is likely dedicated to, say, the dragon Sloron Gemheat the Flames of Taxes.

No no no, the bug is that skeletons do not decay further into separate bones.

Only way to reduce skeleton to bones is to have dwarf butcher it instead of just waiting. Hence bug.

Dwarves not butchering corpses and skeletons of sentient beings is working as intended, but you should not need to butcher skeleton to get bones at all.

[Knight Otu]

Ah, well, that sorta is a bug, though as you say, it's needed for undead skeletons. The original post was about goblin bone decorations, though, so it didn't quite register what you meant.

Actually, it would be kind of nice if there was code that could keep skeletons together for the purposes of making undead, but could recognize when it's just normal-dead, and things could just plain rot so our stockpiles don't fill up with various unrotting body parts either for all eternity or until we use some kind of exploit like an atom smasher to get rid of them.

It's not like this HAS to be either-or.
