No, yaks are as pretentious as dwarves - they require a steady supply of grass to subsist off of, while the more noble animals are fine with just air.

Suicide Sam E. posted:I already have 2 or 3 legendary engravers. Also, a lot of my common areas are already engraved with exceptional and masterful pictures — mostly the "giant jaguar kills someone" motif, but finally my dwarves have begun acknowledging the accomplishments of our fortress in the past decade or so. Finally some engravings of people who are not the mayor or broker! A new section of giant jaguar history is still revealed now and then. Maybe my dwarves are like the Aztec or something? I engrave everything, but I use ironhand as well, so it is easier for me.

Given some historical contexts, I think appointing animals to various positions should be kept in.

1 m3 = 1000 dm3 = 1000000 cm3 = one short ton and change.

So roughly equivalent to a washing machine drum. Or 2/3rds of a bathtub. Also 210.4 pints, for a nicely dwarven measurement size.

I just translate every 1000 cm3 as a single kilogram when it comes to creature sizes. Stops me from going nuts.

Maybe Toady is considering adding more fluid dynamics, like displacement of water due to the volume of bodies in it?

 Muscle density is around 1.06gml and fat is 0.9g/ml whereas water is - obviously - 1g/ml. So yeah, how much fat and muscle is a single dwarf?

DF actually does use those densities for muscle and fat (and 0.8 g/ml for liquid fat).

PublicOpinion posted:DF actually does use those densities for muscle and fat (and 0.8 g/ml for liquid fat). Of course, the only time your dwarves would have liquid fat is when you're trying to burn it off. (With fire, for all you exercise nuts) Speaking of wrestling and size, there's no good way to up an adventurer's fat is there?

Triskelli posted:Speaking of wrestling and size, there's no good way to up an adventurer's fat is there? Not sure if it works in adventure mode but just eat. A lot. Pretty sure dwarves get skinny if they are deprived of food and vice versa; there's the idler dwarves that do almost nothing and eat regularly and get lardy. Unless I'm just imagining poo poo.

I tried it out in adventure mode and after eating three berries, waiting an hour, and repeating through 102 stolen berries the test character was still "thin" at the end of it. I might have to try it again with eating animal products since they're heavier but I'm going to guess it isn't remotely worth the effort.

You bulk up as your strength and toughness stats increase. You end up being a mountain of muscle that shoves over every stray goblin you encounter. It is fantastic  It also makes it easy to play my favourite adventurer game: Goblin stacking. You get to the edge of a cliff while in super-sneak and charge multiple goblins off it one at a time so they land on top of each other.

We all knew Dwarf Fortress would become self-aware at some point, we just didn't know how accurate it'd be.

I've been poking around on the wiki, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer, so I'll ask here: When an outpost liaison discusses trade options with your expedition leader, they will open a bargain option for you to select "priority rankings" for items. There isn't any primer to explain what these rankings do. The only thing I can gather is that putting something at a high ranking makes that item more expensive in trade. Whats the purpose of putting anything at a higher ranking?

The higher the priority, the more they'll bring, from what I understand.

They'll bring that thing next year. The higher it is, the more they will try to deliver, but having to scrounge around their suppliers drives up the fee for their trouble.
