Realistic Dwarves
« on: June 30, 2011, 07:48:49 pm »

Does anyone else think that dwarves should produce, ummm, waste? And it piles up everywhere if you don't have a sewage system and bathrooms and provides bad thoughts if it's everywhere. Early game it could be a zone outside and later it could be a room. I think this would make it realistic, also it seems like you never have to worry about this in games, I wonder why?

because for the majority of people it is annoying and gross.

I'm guessing this idea's been done before, but would you mind telling me why it wouldn't work?

Giant cave spiders can produce webs. Copy and modify webs and add a tag to dwarves that lets them make the modified webs. Then make the modified webs let out miasma. That would work, wouldn't it?

Well you could do something like that but then they only fling ..um ..stuff as an attack when in combat.

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.

So that's how to make monkey-dwarves?

Also, it might also be possible to take the cave spider version instead, since cave spiders do it at random...

Didn't Toady mention in a DF Talk that you could mod dwarves to lay a liquid egg and this would result in a splash of liquid at a nest box, so the weirdos who want to handle waste could? Me, I just set my meeting area over the farm and assume they fertilise it. Makes sense, doesn't it?

This actually sounds really hilarious.  Your woodcutter is encountered by a goblin thief.  Seconds later, SHIT EVERYWHERE.

Lays unusual eggs: poo. It shouldn't interfere with reproduction either.

I wouldnt be able to make it smell though because I don't have access for the code to miasma so I probably wont do it now.
