The castle of monkey blood!!!
« on: August 10, 2010, 02:40:42 pm »

I had a fort(Yes a dwarf castle. Don't you get tired of those stupid tunnels?) and there were the usual Rhesus muskpants coming to steal all my crap. I was like "No way Mr.Peanut brain!" and sent my military one-dwarf-army to kill them all... Yeah, I would have rather let them steal my anvil instead of that... The blood from the monkeys just kept flowing, and flowing and........... And the warfs were carying it all over the place until everything was so red that even Urist McNewborn was bathing in it. I had a well so my dwarfs could stay clean but the blood was so much that it even filled up the well. Being dwarfs my men didn't give much of a cowbeard but the sole fact that I have ROADS(Yes ROADS) That can be distinguished by the fact that they are BLOOD RED FROM BLOOD POOLS started to pull on my wishlist for soap. Sadly I could not make any soap. Apparently the smell of blood caused a massive Orc(It's a private mod. I use the latest version.) invasion and I had to abandon due to tantrums(My dining room could not be engraved). Is there anything I can do about this kind of problem in the future?

I guess you don't have a screenshot, then? I kinda want to see this.

DFhack has a remove blood option, no?

Removing bloods is currently broken. There is a dfhack will indeed let you remove it.

As I said, I abandoned, So I have no screenshots. But I can try again. It wasfun when EVERYTHING wasbloody but not when only certain things are bloody.

Ok, Frikkin forget that. I reclaimed it and the only person(Besides thefriendly orc's) Left alive was a liason. The place had like 50 corpses all over the place!!! The best part is about the liason: He was in the caverns, wandering alone, in the dark. I love that dwarf!!! Walking threw a pile of corpses deby and prepared cats... in a cavern!!!

Yep. Blood has a tendency to spread everywhere and never be removed. Take for example the most recent screenshot of one floor of my Fortress. None of the roads or bridges are supposed to be red. They're just drenched in layers of Goblin and Dwarf blood.

Awesome fortress. Yeah, dwarfsneed to be designated to clean blood and  vomit. Or colect it. I want a moat of blood booze and vomit.

This really needs fixed soon, i can't help but think that a single tile bearing 30 different smears of blood is contributing somewhat to fps loss... and i have a dozen of them leading to my depot >.<

i don't know if you can do anything for blood outside, as that seems to spread the most.  for inside though, i just put statues up in the hallways and temporarily declare it a statue garden and the dwarves will clean it fairly fast.  My fort also has a waterfall dwarves must walkthrough before going from one part of the fortress to the other, aside from making them happy, it drops pools of blood everywhere when a bloody dwarf walks through it.  the stone floor is smoothed though, and occasionally the pool of blood gets big but the dwarves do a good job of cleaning it up..  Ever since i lost a fortress to foot fever due to forgotten beast extract I've been adamant about including a dwarven shower in my fortresses.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

I keep hearing this about blood messiness, but my dwarves seems to have no trouble cleaning it up. I wouldn't mind blood everywhere, it's good fueng shue.

It works for you? Are you sure you are playing DF, not something else?

Also, Is that how you spell it? You learn something new more or less daily...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
