[Uzu Bash]

Because crundles are not a civilisation and as such are not suceptible to the terrible wrath that is world-gen.

Why are orcas so rare?

Because they hate each other as much as everything in their biome hates them. Only humans seem to love them.

Giraffe hair thread. Why?

No body warned me about this stuff.

EDIT: Even more wtf; why does it never rain on my embarks? The local area is called The Wet Points. It's the tropics. This region has a North Pole so I assume it's the north hemisphere tropics, and August should be the peak of the monsoon season -- why no rain?

[Max™]

Because my adventurer got all of your allocated rain dumped on them at once.

Seriously:

Now for my question: WHY WAS SOMEONE THROWING SWIMMING POOLS AT ME?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Oceans and other natural bodies of water will freeze. Naturally that can't be too healthy.

Why aren't there any meteorites or other things during world-gen?

Because the great turtle A'Tuin, cleverly swerves to avoid them all.

What level of modding would it take for my Dwarves to get seasonal colds like I do and drain large amounts of mucus from their sinuses? ( Acceptable alt-question: Why don't Dwarves already get seasonal colds? )

The regular vomiting keeps any infectious vectors at bay, it's hard for a bacterium or virus to overcome stomach acid.

Wait, oh god, does that mean they're also vomiting out of their nose?

Yes, and direct sunlight kills. 

Do other dwarves witness a couple doing the deed when the bed area are shared, and what thoughts to get from such when clearly blankets aren't invented yet.

"Witnessed an unusual wrestling match recently."
"Was forced to watch free dorfporn recently."
"Was uncomfortable after trying to uh... scratch an itch in public while watching free dorfporn."l
Actually they probably don't even notice it, npcs barely notice when you cut their neighbors head off unless it lands in front of them, and honestly I'm not sure they even have the contextual clues to understand what they are seeing since sex was literally just invented not long ago.

Why does the game add the x(male symbol)x to indicate that a reanimated head is gelded, isn't that a given? Was this not always the case? Is it possible for a reanimated head to not be gelded? Is... is it... hlkljasdf

*Max cancels post: interrupted by madness.*

[TheFlame52]

You never know, best to make sure.

Why is my mayor's husband named Fikod Womancrystals?

[Quartz_Mace]

Yeah, check to see if he might be transgender. For all we know, he didn't change his name when he changed that.

Why do militia women still carry babies to battle and still get upset when they die?!

[Aslandus]

Dwarves have no foresight

What other problems does this cause?

[Quartz_Mace]

Orphans, tantrum spirals, drownings, murders, hammerings, Dwarves being eaten, Dwarves being stabbed, and general !FUN!

Why do I feel nothing when most Dwarves die? I only seem to care about vital workers, soldiers, and my starting seven.

[UnicodingUnicorn]

You're not a dorf but a callous, ruthless force that rules upon the fort.

Why are siege engines generally so unamazing?

[Button]

Reported gore spam.

Why are siege engines generally so unamazing?

Because we're fighting against invaders, not against a stationary target. Siege engines are built for sieging, not for fighting things that can get away.

Why the fuck did Zicit spam gore in the thread?

[TheFlame52]

Because he's spamming gore in a lot of threads.

Why didn't my militia kill the elk birds until I told them to, despite being right next to them?

[The Cafe]

Because they were secretly elves.


Why did the trade caravan path straight to the edge of the waterfall, and why dd my dwarves decide to collect the remains at the bottom of the 10 z-level waterfall?
