v0.31 Talk:Kennel

Volouscheur:

I have been having trouble taming creatures, but other than that it seems like kennels haven't particularly changed.

==2010 [TRAINABLE] animals==

Since apparently [[Elephant|Elephants]] are now trainable, someone needs to compile a list of animals that can be trained into war animals and added to this page for easy listing [[Special:Contributions/68.161.167.37|68.161.167.37]] 13:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Here you go, this is everything with the tags in the raws. Note there are none with [TRAINABLE_WAR] --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 13:48, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
*[TRAINABLE]
**[CREATURE:DOG]
**[CREATURE:BIRD_EAGLE_GIANT]
**[CREATURE:BEAR_GRIZZLY]
**[CREATURE:ELEPHANT]

Does anyone know the difference between [TRAINABLE] and [TRAINABLE_WAR]? If there's no difference can we assume Toady has an idea he has yet to implement... [[User:Numeral|Numeral]] 17:58, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
:Given that [TRAINABLE_HUNTING] only allows the creature to be trained for hunting and not for war, it's rather likely that [TRAINABLE_WAR] only allows the creature to be trained for war and not for hunting. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 18:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
::My bad, I was under the assumption that [TRAINABLE] was only for war animals and that to have an animal be hunter trainable and war trainable it needed both [TRAINABLE] and [TRAINABLE_HUNTING] [[User:Numeral|Numeral]] 18:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Animals appear to have to be uncaged prior to being trained; a lack of uncaged trainable animals throws up a 'no trainable creatures available' error. Fortunately, dwarves still recognized caged wild animals if ordered to tame them.

Volouscheur:

Confirm that trading leather is a no no? [[User:Cpad|Cpad]] 02:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:see update. leather is fine in all forms. --[[User:Birthright|Birthright]] 16:53, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Needs game data

Creatures that you purchase from them do not appear to breed, even if you have enough of both genders chained or caged in close proximity. Perhaps the elves practice spay/neuter policies with the creatures they trade? [[User:Volouscheur|Volouscheur]] 21:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Cleaning appears to be functionally similar to the previous version so far, with a few exceptions:
* dwarves no longer clean adjacent tiles in addition to the tile they are standing on - only the tile they're on becomes cleaned;
* blood, ichor, and vomit no longer vanish on season-change, and rain only removes the liquids from the tile it hits

v0.31 Talk:Bed

2010-04-05T18:03:56Z

Volouscheur:

==Stuff from 40d that needs to be confirmed in 2010==
*Can artifact beds be made from any material?
*How does an injured dwarf decide on its bed?
*Are there any adverse effects to deconstructing a bed while a dwarf is sleeping in it?
Also, while we're at it, it seems like a lot of the info on this page would be better suited to the {{l|bedroom}} page, like the stuff about how to assign a bedroom to a dwarf. --[[User:Mikaka|Mikaka]] 02:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

*Dwarves appear not to consider dormitories or barracks proper rooms any more. (Mine keep complaining that they haven't slept in a proper room, even if I have a barracks.)
* An injured dwarf seems to pick (or be taken to) the nearest bed that is either in a hospital zone or in an area that's not a bedroom. -- [[User:Volouscheur|Volouscheur]] 18:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

40d Talk:Moss

Volouscheur:

Moss may just be an in-game indicator that the area is truly abandoned and that no one has gone in to do the little things like making sure the statuary gardens stay clean. [[User:Volouscheur|Volouscheur]] 02:08, 28 December 2008 (EST)

40d:Badlands

2008-08-14T03:02:41Z

Volouscheur: Adding a little bit of info.

Badlands are arid areas rich in soil. In real life, they are areas that experience infrequent, but intense, rainfall and are subject to severe erosion as a result.

40d:Rocky wasteland

2008-08-14T02:47:52Z

Volouscheur: Adding info on wastelands

A wasteland is defined by Wikipedia as "a landscape devoid of nutrients, soil and/or moisture". They are arid, barren areas; although stone is likely to be plentiful, it may be difficult to find soil or a reliable water source. Additionally, because trees and other plant life is usually scarce at best in these areas, wood and seeds may have to be imported.

40d:Sand desert

2008-08-14T02:39:35Z

Volouscheur: Adding in info on deserts

Sand deserts are large areas of sand. They can be difficult for a beginning player to found a fortress in, due to the fact that there are usually few trees and plants to be found (although [[Camel|camels]] are likely to be found in abundance) and it may require digging several Z-layers deep before any stone is found.

However, considering that the main ingredient for glass can be found in abundance, it should be easy to make a profitable fortress if some stone can be found (or imported) to build a glass furnace with.

Deserts are most likely to be [[warm]] or [[cold]], but may be [[scorching]] or [[freezing]] as well. They are always arid, so it is advisable to find a reliable source of water before embarking; additionally, [[cold]] deserts may only have flowing water for a few months of the year, and [[warm]] ones might have rivers that evaporate during the summer months.

In real life, deserts tend to be very dry places that vary between the two temperature extremes - usually scorching during the day, and freezing at night. Although they are much drier than other locations, most deserts do get a small amount of rain - usually a few centimeters' of it, during the winter or spring; the exception to this is the Antarctic desert.
