I believe so; I haven't seen any sleeping in my fort residence area and if there aren't enough tavern rooms I see people sleeping on the floors.

On a side note, ever since I built my library and temple the dwarve split their time between those two and the tavern and I haven't seen any coordinated dancing for years and years... :(

Sorry you got the Puritan dwarves :(

If you give a dwarf one of the new roles (scholar or performer or whatever) will they still carry out whatever labours they have enabled?

file_changes.txt is our best guess as it is. :shrug:

code:
[SYN_CONCENTRATION_ADDED:<amount>:<max>]
	each 100 of amount will contribute SEV in general to each effect (before dilution), max goes up to 1000
	the concentration does not decrease, but will stay at the maximum attained until the syndrome wears off
It's used to control the dangerous effects of binge drinking, at any rate.

oh that covers it fairly well. the wiki didnt have poo poo on it.

i wonder if increasing the concentration refreshes the syndrome timer.

im just writing a bunch of interactions/syndromes and wondered if itd be useful at all

Oh boy. How old can Humans get in DF? I had a wandering Human Crossbowman join my militia and after getting curious if Humans hated being caught in miasma (they do) I noticed that he's 94 years old.

Also all my visitors ever do is engage with poetry and tales, I want some dancing in my tavern so how do I get it? I have an 8x8 clear space.

Urist has been upset lately. A wall mocked him recently. The visage of his dead wife appeared above his bed recently. His best friend was swallowed by the floor recently. He ate in a spectacular dining room recently.

I like how in old platform games and stuff the walls usually would have grimacing faces in them. That needs to be brought back.

If I'm reading the raws right, the max age for humans is 120. However, the effects of aging aren't really built in past childhood, so you won't see any skill or attribute degradation.

Don't worry though, I'm sure that eventually this will be replaced by a system that tracks each creature's dietary habits, exercise level, and blood pressure, while also calculating telomere decay and DNA methylation at each tick for a more realistic aging experience.

Haha, so an undead invasion promptly stalled when the necromancer raised a couple of Giant Kangaroos as skeletons and his living retinue of a couple of Speardwarves and Hammergoblins attacked the newly raised creatures. Doesn't appear to have triggered an invasion loyalty cascade but it's still pretty good that they're all just milling around now and crushing whatever gets raised.

I keep getting moody dwarves stuck on fruit picking ladders.

A google search is getting hits on this issue but it seems to be from bay12's private bug tracker.

If the other people complaining about this bug are right it's also causing my significant FPS drop.

Is there a workaround to this or do I wait for this idiot to dehydrate?

Couple Questions: How many Z levels should a pit be to produce a pleasing Goblin gib explosion when they hit the floor at the bottom of it? and how do I get my idiot dwarfs to dump Goblins from a cage down a hole without these dipshits opening the cage and getting goblin'd

The arena mode is specifically adjusted for scientific shenanigans like this!! Assuming a normal, naked goblin and a normal, generic stone floor, you need 3 levels before you get injuries and 6-7 until body parts start getting crushed on impact.

I say go for 15 levels and line the bottom with lead for good measure.

Don't forget to pipe in a magma drainage system so you can dispose of the rotting body parts and retrieve all their iron equipment.

I think I'll go for about 12 levels drop into a marble floored glass box.

For what it's worth 5-10 z-levels seemed fine in .34 but in the new versions I'll drop a gobbo 20-30 z levels and he'll be fine for the most part. Maybe because he falls onto another gobbo? But yeah the floor weight/density matters because of how fall damage is calculated.

I usually pit things in groups of like 3-4 and the dwarves don't panic or freak out - if you're on the latest version you're going to have to wait until the 'dwarves won't chain/pit/cage sentient creatures' bug is fixed.

In this latest release, only one of my herbalist dwarves was too cowardly to jump down from a tree before he starved to death. Everyone else jumped once they saw the woodcutter coming.

I had an inexplicable loyalty cascade. No idea what the origin was. It turned into a total bloodbath, so I ended up hard-quitting. No one was stressed or tantruming. Someone just started shooting and I couldn't even determine who -- the battle reports only showed that dwarves were being shot, not who was doing the shooting. Somehow it caused them to all recognize each other as enemies.

I also cannot get any dances to occur. I have a big tavern space, a bag and cabinet that NEVER get stocked with my drat instruments, a tavern keeper, and alchohol stockpile in the tavern....what do I have to do? There are plenty of visiting performers and bards with their own instruments.

In my fortress dances are quite rare and some of them last, like, 2 turns.

I think that dances break up because one of the participants has decided to do something else so instead of them leaving and the dance continuing on without them, the whole thing breaks up.

Let's see some photos of those current forts.
This one's mine. Temple district to the east, food production to the north, craftsdwarves quarter to the south, and the royal sanctum to the west. I just got through with the temple area. The big temple with the massive dance floor area is the temple to the most popular god in the fort, the god of suicide. Their choice in deity has me a little worried, but if that's who they want to worship then who am I to stop them?

His only visible bad thoughts are from a recent siege, but he was always in a terrible mood even in peaceful times. Maybe because he's the mayor? Didn't know it was a stressful job, especially since he always gets good thoughts from meeting people.
