DF2014 Talk:Temple

The article states:

 Currently there are no known incentives to make dedicated temples for a particular deity. 

It's most likely that there is no incentive whatsoever, and that specifying deities is a placehold for the eventual guild and sect additions to the game. However, we should investigate whether praying in a space dedicated to a dwarf's prefered deity has a bigger effect on mood than praying in a shared space. --Calite (talk) 04:13, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Dance Floor Size?

The Article states:

 Temples also require a certain amount of empty floor space (called dance floor)

How do you determine a good dance floor size? Altaree (talk) 17:12, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Visitors

The article states:

 Visitors won't visit fortresses specifically to hang out in temples, even if they're set to "All visitors welcome".

This does not match with what I have witnessed. My current fort was getting a lot of monks and prophets visiting until I set all the temples to citizens only. Is this because of something the starter pack turned on in DFHack or something that changes in 0.44.12 (which I am running) and never got updated on the wiki? 35.191.3.224 (talk) 11:16, 9 February 2020‎ (UTC)

Perhaps this depends on what deity the temple is dedicated to? I always set my temple to "No specific deity" and none of these visitors ever came in. --DarklingArcher (talk) 11:58, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I've had a necromancer scholar visit my month old, non-affiliated temple in 0.47.04, so i think that visitor will show up regardless. Seamustk (talk) 07:39, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

25 tile dance floor?

The current edit states a 25-tile dance-floor is required for temples in Fortress Mode. Is there a reference to back this up?

I have just tested in my game that a 8x4 dancefloor is highlighted in yellow text while a 5x5 is in white text. I can test farther but I suspect it is not 25 tiles but an empty 5+ by 5+ empty space. ----Ealon (talk) 01:26, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
