This has benefits, in that dwarves will get happy thoughts from admiring fine or finely placed statues, cages and the animals in the cages, as well as from making {{L|friend}}s and talking to them. They will also slowly develop social skills. However, parties may slow down your fortress's work as your dwarves idly hang-out, sometimes for more than a {{L|season}} (dwarven partying is serious business). |
