Rate of consumption
Does anyone know the rate at which dwarf eats food? --Okita 01:18, 6 June 2008 (EST)
- Someone calculated it way back in the 2D days. IIRC, they came up with 6 food and 18 drink per dwarf per year, but I don't think that was very accurate. --Savok 08:49, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Starvation
Once my butcher starts hunting for small creatures - how do I get him to actually slaughter an animal so everyone can eat? Or do I need to make someone else a butcher so my butcher can have a snack?
Why does this shite always happen when the merchant turns up?? ;) GarrieIrons 07:36, 13 February 2008 (EST)
Hunger bug
First of all, i'm a new user, so if this needs putting somewhere else or whatever, just send me an e-mail or something. Anyway, I have a bug that keeps crippling my fortress. Sometime halfway through the year, my dwarfs (dwarves? i dunno :S) stop eating. completely. they then get hungry, tantrums kick off, and chaos ensues. any tips? --Shabang50 05:34, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- Do you have food? If so, what KIND of food? They can't eat raw dead things, and they can't even eat butchered dead things. They also can't eat most kinds of uncooked fish. Also, did you make a food stockpile? Food left outside of a food stockpile will mass rot before long. --Shadow archmagi 06:20, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- Yep, I have plenty of edible food ( non-rotten, stockpiled, etc). The food is definetly edible, but the dwarfs, after a while, jsut lose the will to eat! they still keep drinking, though ;)--Shabang50 12:55, 7 March 2008 (EST)
Meals
Do Roasts fill up dwarves more than biscuits? It seems logical that they would but I'm not sure. Also, do roasts take longer to eat? --Niaba 00:20, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- AFAIK, no. And it's not logical. Suppose you take 2 units of meat to make two bisquits, or four units of meat to make four roasts. Why would roasts be any larger?--Dorten 00:25, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- Oh yeah... Well, then what's the advantage of making biscuits over roasts? Am I missing something?--Niaba 04:39, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- None. With roast you get bigger meal stacks that are more likely to not fit in barrels - good cos you save barrels. You have a higher chance per meal that you please the preference of a dwarf. You have half the number of items - less clutter. Some people claim that the cook collects more experience from easy meals since he cooks more, but i cant confirm. --Koltom 10:41, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- A cook gets 30xp per meal, not depending on the size. That's been on the wiki since late 2006.
- It might've not been written into the new wiki yet, though. --Savok 11:55, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- let's see - if you combine [info on DF] with [2006] what do you get? ;) --Koltom 15:31, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- Ok, thanks for clearing it up.--Niaba 16:59, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
