Pudding Stone: Why?
« on: January 09, 2011, 02:27:14 am »
Fellow Dwarves, I ask you this: Why is there Pudding stone? More accurately, Why is a simple "mineral" bearing an [AQUIFER]? What could this mean for a fortress? Caverns flooding due to exposed veins?  Infinite sources of fresh water? Flooded Bedrooms? I ask you these things, and leave it unto you to answer.

This is a puddingstone amulet,  All craftmanship is of the highest quality,  It menaces with spikes of puddingstone and hanging rings of puddingstone. On it is a image of dwarf and dwarves in puddingstone.  It commerates the drowning of your fort by a magical water producing stone amulet.

Why couldn't my vampire Hammerer eat someone useless, like a migrant? Instead, she went after my only gemcutter.. but sadly there were no witnesses, so I convicted someone's pet duck as the murderer.  It got off easy, with no beatings or jail time.  >.<

Puddingstone makes conglomerate jealous.  Everybody knows puddingstone is cooler.

When you see a picture of puddingstone, and realize it's referring to an older kind of pudding whose texture it resembles rather than the homogenous glop americans like me are used to then it makes sense.

When I breached my first aquifer, I remember recoiling in shock that there might be desserts lurking in the depths.

On that note, it would be quite dwarfy to mine your food out of food veins.

Serpentine fried up in olivine oil and limonite juice?  Sounds gneiss.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

As dwarves slowly lose their stats over time it's natural for them to get fatter as they age because there's no activities to train healing rate.
so dwarves that die of old age in DF dont get shriveled and weak, but huge round masses of meat and fat that explode spectacularly upon their final birthday?

Puddingstone is awesome.  Dwarf Fortress makes my inner geology geek very happy!

PUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDIPUDDI ..okay I'll stop.

It seems like it'd be hard to make a puddingstone amulet. What part would you use and still have it be able to be called "puddingstone"? Alternatively, how big would this amulet be?

Well, it would still be puddingstone regardless.  I think what you mean is 'Would it still be recognizable as puddingstone?'  If I had a piece, and some lapidary equipment, I could research this for !!SCIENCE!!
