I usually carve all my workshops into niches in the walls so I can just seal a dwarf in if I can't get him his materials.

But, more importantly, your base has levers that, when switched, drop 20% of your population down a hole?  Is your meeting hall set to cave in?   That's...kind of wonderful, actually.

no i killed 30+ goblins and they were walking on the mile lone fall trap.

All strategy is exploitation. Don't have any truck with it!

[Nameless Archon]

Easy way to danger room with out being too exploity is simply to only put a low number of spears (such as 1) in each trap, and stop danger rooming them once they get the desired skill. I stop once every dwarf in a squad is at skill 1, because I'm just trying to avoid the unpleasant thought of being drafted with no skill.

I see absolutely nothing wrong or exploit-y about cooking booze. It is possible to survive solely on ethanol, as it has plenty of calories. The problem would be deficiency in proteins, vitamins etc. But we can assume that dwarven body can get by without them.

the dwarfs skin eats nutrients when it sleeps. the skin cells in a dwarf take protiens and vitamins straight from the rock and then cobine the raw elements to from the building blocks of life

I would go even further. Based on all the things they can do, I think we can safely assume that dwarves are capable of performing nuclear fussion and fission in their bodies, then combine any elements they gain into any nutrient necessary. And somehow they need ethanol for that.

bear is broken into 2 thing water and a flamable fuel used to power the machines that cools the reactor that combines the elements. the water is used as a cooling device.

but how does the nucler reaction happen. i think has something to do with the beard.

[Reudh]

Syrupleaf stated that each of THEM (the Spawn of Holistic) contained a lump of semi-cooled obsidian in their chests that gave them their strength. Perhaps dwarves contain the same and the cooling gives off energy which powers the fission/fusion... Old age is when the obsidian has nearly cooled, and death occurs when no energy is released by the cooled obsidian.

Yeah, i'm pushing the laws of physics, but doesn't DF?

The DF world evolved without any of those, they have beardories, beardiens and beardamins and dwarves are just a beard warmer for the beards wearing the dwarves.


I felt like it

[Sutremaine]

dwarves are just a beard warmer for the beards wearing the dwarves.

What about the dwarves that don't have beards?

[Drago55577]

those are deformed elves, deformed by ma....necro!maybe

[jaxler]

ok so now we know the working of a dwarf

Never seen an empty shell on a beach?
