I am crossing my fingers for [PREFSTRING:erotic slipperiness]

one word: MAYONNAISE

I am crossing my fingers for [PREFSTRING:erotic slipperiness]

Beware its erotic slipperiness!

Yep, works well.

[Pilsu]

Hopefully though he'll fix the bug with not being able to cook liquids.

That's not a bug. Meals made entirely of liquids used to turn into a puddle in a puff of logic. Solids are needed now, not only as a workaround but as padding to the current placeholder system.

Oil? Excellent. Time for greased hallways, greased dwarves, greased pigs, greased babies, fire channels, greased fire channels, cakes, cakes at the end of burning greased hallways, and so on.

Deep fried baby, anyone?

I look forward to be able to give orders to oil up the statues.



On a more practical note, how will oil interact with machinery? Hopefully we can use it to reduce standing power requirements. Why does that gear assembly use up so much power? Cover it in delicious oil and set fire to it if it won't cooperate.

I wanna see some hot dwarfette-on-dwarfette oil wrestling.

Heard they serve deep fried cat's paws at the events -- crunchy!

If more than just sheep are amongst the new shearable animals, does that mean...

HERE'S A LLAMA THERE'S A LLAMA
AND ANOTHER LITTLE LLAMA
FUZZY LLAMA FUNNY LLAMA
LLAMA LLAMA DORF?

Perhaps... I'm waiting for [shearable] being added to Dwarves for new dwarven justice options...

Because, you know, there's been talk on the news.

I wouldn't put it past Toady to have already coded in heart disease or obesity as a result of overeating fatty foods in the upcoming version.

Pfft dwarves already eat roasts mostly made of tallow, vegetable oil would be the healthier choice.

[caknuck]

As stated above, I am all for a more varied menu. I'm sure that Urist McFoodsnob would go apeshit for a bloated tuber and one humped camel cheese quiche.

[Fredd]

Heck with the french fries. Any worthwhile fortress needs vats of boiling oil to dump on goblins.Besides using vegetable oil, would provide a use for fat from animals.
 Imagine catapults raining fire down on a stupid kobold, trying to sneak into your fort. Yes, I know magma is more worthy to incinerate the foe, but several deep fried goblins, littering your fortress's entrance, would scare the heck out of potential invaders, besides providing snacks for dwarfs who love porkskins.

This is a step in the right direction for the possibility of hearths, meaning that my already over-elaborate funeral parlor/dining hall is due for a Kennedy-style eternal flame.

I *was* reading something wildly dwarfy from history the other day, the phenomena of "eternal lamps" that were common in the pre-Christian period. It was a sign of allegiance to the royal dead to seal tombs with lit lamps in them. Several legends then cropped up about Greek and Egyptian tombs that had been broken into to discover the lamps still burning, centuries later. Athanasius Kircher, a monk who specialized in recording "pagan deviltries" theorized that these involved asbestos wicks and some early form of solidified petroleum as fuel, combined with the low but steady amount of oxygen in the tombs, leading to this being possible. According to Kircher, one such "eternal lamp" was also burning in the Temple of Delphi clear through to the Christian Era, where it was finally destroyed as a devilish artifact.
