101 things you can do in DF (and in DF with mods)
« on: March 09, 2011, 11:41:57 am »
So... I was thinking of making a list of 101 things you can do in Dwarf Fortress. And then another list of 101 things about what you can mod the game to do. All sentences start with: "In Dwarf Fortress you can" or "You can mod Dwarf Fortress to" You don't actually have to add those beginnings in front of sentences. Try to avoid things already said or similar to what has already been said.  The things should be funny, weird, awesome or something like that. Post as many in one post as you want. A few examples: "In Dwarf Fortress you can build a million ton fortress attached to a cliff only by a piece of soap." or "You can mod Dwarf Fortress to have kittens explode and set the forest on fire."
So here's the list then:

In Dwarf Fortress you can...
01. build a million ton fortress attached to a cliff only by a piece of soap.
02. burn down a forest leaving the trees completely unharmed.
03. have babies born with beards.
04. have magma everywhere.
05. have troll wool.
06. have all internal organs in a row. (belly to back)
07. litter the ground with half-eaten prepared Floating Guts's guts.
08. have a funeral by encasing the corpse in obsidian and making a sword out of it.
09. get away with genocide and still have admirers.
10. use kittens as livestock.
11. fight a war against hell.
12. dine in hell.
13. be killed instantly by a gigantic one-eyed flying elk that spits poisonous goo.
14. create a calculator powered by magma and pressure plates, with a liquid magma display.
15. build a 70-story high statue of your ruler, with boiling magma glowing behind glass eyes.
16. kill a jackal by cutting it's head off using the axe mentioned in point 8 of the modded part.

You can mod Dwarf Fortress to...
1. have kittens explode and set the forest on fire.
2. have babies born with adamantine beards.
3. be able to harvest bones from living creatures painlessly.
4. make poisonous gas spew forth from dwarves eyeballs.
5. make your dwarves have 6 or 7 arms, 3 lungs, 5 eyes, be made of steel and spit fire from their beards.
6. have MSPA trolls.
7. make female dwarves have beards. With only two button presses. Sexy!
8. make an axe made of fluffy wambler fluff and add rings and bands of fluffy wambler fluff all over it.

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

4. In Dwarf Fortress liquid pressure is broken down to the point that river/brook/etc. water refuses to stay forever in a level lowest to its max level.

3. You can mod Dwarven women so that they have beards. Sexy.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

9. In Dwarf Fortress, once you're satisfied, you can through no fault of yourself just litter the ground with half-eaten Prepared Floating Guts's Guts.

7. You can mod Dwarf Fortress to make you dwarves have 6 or 7 arms, 3 lungs, 5 eyes, be made of steel and spit fire from their beards. Puts any Iron Man to shame.

I don't quite understand the first one. Maybe a simpler explanation is required?
Don't female dwarves normally have beards?

One of the most awesome funeral methods ever:
1. Put the corpse underwater.
2. Drop magma on it to encase it in obsidian.
3. Dig out the obsidian with the corpse in it.
4. Make a sword out of it.

Admittedly it was more impressive in 40d, when obsidian swords weren't horribly bugged.

Well I'm just going to believe you and add them. Though I would still like to know more about that sword thing. Is the sword special or something? Does it have any traces of the corpse?
