Where exactly did you get the numeric values you posted for cave adaptation, alcoholism, and psychological trauma? I ask because I analyzed the game code responsible for displaying those messages and found that your numbers were completely '''incorrect''' - alcohol withdrawal is based entirely on the time since last drink (3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year), opinion about outdoors is a simple 0/1/2 value, and while trauma uses a number from 0 to 100, the breakpoints are completely different from what you originally reported. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:18, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

-:The numbers were incidental and just there to show the various levels (they should have been replaced by ??'s in the Preview step but I got sidetracked and neglected it).  Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the info.  I wanted to include those traits on the page in some fashion, but I suck at tables and the new Personality-Trait-Like Characteristics section is much better, so I'll rework them in that manner.  Alcohol Dependence, for example:
-{| {{prettytable}}
-|- style="background:#ddd"
-! Attribute
-! Time Since Last Drink
-! Description
-! Effect
-|- style="border-top: 3px solid #aaa"
-! rowspan=5 | Alcohol Dependence
-| < 3 months
-| Needs alcohol to get through the working day.
-| rowspan=5 | The longer a dependent creature goes without booze, the greater the penalties to their speed become.  See [[Alcohol#Consequences_of_a_Sober_Fortress|Alcohol]] for more information.
-|-
-| 3 to 6 months
-| Needs alcohol to get through the working day and is starting to work slowly due to its scarcity.
-|-
-| 6 to 9 months
-| Needs alcohol to get through the working day and really wants a drink.
-|-
-| 9 to 12 months
-| Needs alcohol to get through the working day and has gone without a drink for far, far too long.
-|-
-| > 12 months
-| Needs alcohol to get through the working day and can't even remember the last time s/he had some.
-|}
-I seem to recall Dwarves getting the 'scarcity' thought the instant they drink something that isn't booze, and that might trigger the count toward a year, but I haven't yet verified this speculation.
