[Magistrum]

The only reviews they recieve are from zombies, and those things are well-known for being suck-ups.

Why do dwarven cats never drink booze?

Because they are the hivemind hosts, if they drunk booze they would subject to it too, and you could have control over them, plus, they know that.


How can dwarves walk trough the caverns without any source of light beyond a caged fireimp without getting bruises everywhere from hitting the walls?

[Nidilap]

Low light vision.

Where are the hobbitses?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Low light vision.

Where are the hobbitses?

On their way to Mordor.

Not that I'm complaining, but how can an infant dwarf drag his mother to the infirmary?

[jcochran]

Not that I'm complaining, but how can an infant dwarf drag his infant mother to the infirmary?

By her hair.

Why haven't cats taken over all the fortresses?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Butcher brigades.

Not exactly fitting, but who here hopes that Toady never fixes the Perpetual Motion set-up?

[Magistrum]

Not exactly fitting, but who here hopes that Toady never fixes the Perpetual Motion set-up?

Anybody, we are mostly expecting Toady to force us into making !!Science!! in search for new methods.



Thoughts on goblin prisoner powered machines?

Thoughts on goblin prisoner powered machines?

I probably need a few dozen more.

Why can dwarves survive with their heart missing?

[Doktoro Reichard]

They can? Maybe they're undead to start. Honestly, I always thought any "severe" heart injury (as such, this includes a missing heart) meant death.

Why is there a mention to ►Magic◄ items in the ingame help, despite not existing at all in the game?

[CaptainMcClellan]

It's a reversal of the norm in fantasy worlds where the magic dies off. In Dwarf Fortress, it hasn't been born yet. ( They are waiting though! )

[Deus Asmoth]

Currently, the heart just bleeds a lot when it gets damaged, it doesn't actually do anything for the dwarf (unlike their precious, precious liver). I would guess that if the heart is completely removed, the game only makes the dwarf bleed as much as they would for any severed body part of that size, so they survive. I have no idea how their heart could be cut out without damaging it though, unless you just removed it from their raws or something similar.

Why can't flying or swimming creatures remember where they were going a second ago?

[Mr.Mountain]

Because they're too busy trying to dodge all the steel bolts flying at them from bored, trigger happy marksdwarves.

Why are my masons totally free to do irrelevant labors that I'm sure I disabled them from doing, but have no time for ACTUAL masonry?

Doing things against the rules gives a thrill. Even scrubbing the floors clean of filth, apparently.

Why did my active military run after some passing keas and left the front entrance open for a few kobolds to loot our wares?

[blazing glory]

They were afraid that the keas would steal their shiny armor.

Why are horses so powerful?

[WoobMonkey]

1200 pounds of muscle can't be anything other than powerful.  That's about 5 Schwarzeneggers, if measured at his peak condition as a competitive body-builder.

Why is it that miners can feel the slightest trickle of water on the other side of a wall, but don't notice that there's no support to a floor they're channeling out?

[sal880612m]

That is a feature. Miners have a limited scope of vision so while they will see/feel the water right next to them it doesn't occur to the to be sure the floor is supported somewhere they can't see.

Why is it in a fort with only about 25 Dwarfs nine of them are children?
