A few miscellaneous interface checks, and then back to the regional material emissions... and I still didn't manage to polish it off. Some changes are needed. For instance, I initially thought it would be enough to make the regions that rain blood draw from the civilized races, but then we ended up with regions that rain rodent man blood, which isn't as good as raining human or dwarven blood. Of course, you might prefer raining "blood", but we don't have generic blood anymore and I don't think it's proper to add it now that we've got real alternatives, though perhaps a slurry of some kind would be appropriate later. It didn't even work out right with the rodent man blood -- the indexing was screwed up, and we ended up with "a dusting of rodent man skin"... dandruff snow. Less Slayer and more Breakfast Club than we wanted, but at least I sorted that part out.

There is nothing I can imagine to say right now.

Discuss.

Use for milk BESIDES cheese? Are there bowls yet?

Well, dandruff snow isn't that far off from having it rain frogs and such.

Something went dwarfy if snow made out of flayed skin wasn't hardcore enough.

How about, "Eeeeewwwww, that is just wrong!"

Looking forward to homemade barrels of blood.  No more importing the stuff!

[dreadmullet]

Oh crap theres blood everywhere. It's been raining in this terrifying rain forest for months and my fortress is completely flooded with blood. Wait, is that dragon blood? OH GOD MY DWARVES ARE DROWNING AND BURNING AT THE SAME TIME

[Girlinhat]

The average dwarf will suffer drowning injuries shortly before burning in magma.  Cause of death will be bleeding (ie, fire) but they will also begin to drown if they have no skills.

[612DwarfAvenue]

Blood rain? Moats of blood for my enemies to drown in? FUCK YES SIGN ME UP!

[ayoriceball]

Rivers or seas of blood? Civilizations that drink blood? Fish that swim in bloody water?

[Oliolli]

I think we will first have to figure out if this stuff even forms 1/7 units of blood, or if it will behave like blood does these days. Luckily it is easy to experiment.

Hopefully no a bug will cause it to rain FB poisonous blood.

and this would be a bad thing how?
also, with a little rawing or by luck, the possiilites for weaponising bloodrain are endless

[ThatAussieGuy]

I forecast eventual rains of FB blood with that blisters/boils/melts dwarf skin clean off the bone

[Angel Of Death]

Dwarf Fortress is now twice as metal. AoD approves.
