I think my dwarves are jesus
« on: October 01, 2010, 12:31:00 pm »

My fort has a brook flowing right near the entrance with 7/7 water and I just saw one of my dwarves walk out onto the water without falling in or starting to drown.

How the hell did you get a table stuck in a guy?
Where did you even GET the table?

The top layer of a brook acts like a grate until you dig through it, i.e. it lets liquids through, but creatures can still stand on it.

I do still find it odd that the brooks are deeper at the bottom than the top.

You're so sweet.  Why don't you just come in here so I can give you a hug.

You seem to be under the illusion that we give a shit about what happens to dwarves who are too dumb to live.

Me too, but I'm never going to understand why Toady won't just make brooks have 2/7 or 3/7 most of the time... they're brooks, not streams/rivers, they should have little water flowing through them, because they don't even show up on the regional map when embarking...

I've always thought it was weird that brooks/minor rivers/major rivers all have the exact same depth.

I've only once seen a river more than one tile deep. Maybe that should be fixed?

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

It's a work-around until he sorts out proper riverbanks, apparently.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.
