Why haven't dwarves come up with a way to make a fountain of booze yet?

How can hair and pearls become undead and move around?

[Tarzanello]

Well, I don't know about hair, but pearls, that's just how they roll .
I'm funny and I know it.
Now for a serious question: how come the only mastiff I've trained as a hunter went apeshit insane and started chewing my dwarves? I could still control it and he would show up in my unit list, so I thought it might be this "loyalty cascade" I've heard about. The only "friendly" he attacked before going insane was a berserking insane dwarf though... I'm playing Masterwork btw (as you might have guessed).

[Mr Space Cat]

That could be a loyalty cascade or something. Generally a full fledged loyalty cascade would cause the fort to collapse into anarchy as everyone kills one another. If the only casualties were a berserk dwarf and a hunting mastiff, that's pretty fortunate. I'd just disregard the odd mastiff death and order more from the next caravan.

Why do dwarves like alcohol?

[Erils]

How can hair and pearls become undead and move around?

They used to be part of something organic so they are treated the same way as a chopped-off arm is and therefore still organic/dead and can become undead

Why do dwarves like alcohol?

[WanderingKid]

For the serious question about undead: Anything with Grasp (don't ask me why hair can grasp) can reanimate.

Regarding booze: If you were stuck underground for the rest of your life and your wife was as hairy as you were (or you got stuck carrying your infant into battle), wouldn't YOU drink your life away?

Why don't FB's eat the local Crundle population in the caverns?

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Crundles are quite stringy, greasy, unhealthy, and disgusting.
