− | Vermin | + | '''Vermin''' are small [[creature]]s such as [[rat]]s, [[bat]]s, and [[lizard]]s which are difficult to see, and also the type of [[fish]] which are caught by [[fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]]. They are below 2 kg (4 lb) in size, much smaller than [[cat|cats]]. The presence of vermin can be noted if you are particularly observant, as they will occasionally blink into and out of view on the screen. The main distinctions between vermin and [[creature]]s are that vermin: |
+ | # Do not attack and cannot be engaged in [[combat]] or trigger [[trap]]s; | ||
+ | # Do not usually provide [[meat]], [[bone]]s and other by-products of butchery. There seem to be some exceptions - [[creepy crawler]]s are somehow butchered for meat and organs; | ||
+ | # Do not breed, but "spawn", spontaneously appearing in their natural environment or [[biome]]; | ||
+ | # Are sometimes "hateable", meaning dwarves can have an anti-[[preference]] which gives them a negative [[thought]] when they see the hated vermin. | ||
− | + | Vermin can be problematic as many types feed on [[stockpile]]s, thus making it more difficult to keep enough [[food]] and [[alcohol|drink]] to survive. Vermin can be hunted by [[cat]]s and [[peregrine falcon]]s to reduce this problem, though the [[remains]] will still need to be [[Activity zone#Garbage Dump|removed]]. Cats and falcons can be [[pasture]]d at the relevant stockpiles to further reduce the problem. | |
− | + | Vermin can, however, be captured in [[animal trap]]s, and can be tamed as [[pet]]s. A few captured vermin can be used to produce [[extract]]s using a glass [[vial]] and the [[animal dissector]] labor. Captured [[purring maggot]]s can also be [[milk]]ed at a farmer's workshop. | |
− | + | Dwarves will eat vermin if no [[food]] source is available, resulting in an unhappy [[thought]]. | |
