Every dwarf will like at least one type of booze, and may like none to several food ingredients. Dwarves get happy thoughts from eating food and drinking booze they [[Preference|like]]; the meal's value can improve only those thoughts. There are 76 types of booze and hundreds, if not thousands, of types of food preferences. The difficulty in obtaining all types of booze or food means that it is practically impossible to satisfy the [[need]] to eat a good meal. {{bug|10262}} Note that it is possible to obtain all types of booze, especially if modding is used. | Every dwarf will like at least one type of booze, and may like none to several food ingredients.

A dwarf's preferences (and disliked vermin) tend to feature in any artwork the dwarf makes, more often than subjects not listed in their profile. For example, a mason that likes [[cow]]s for their haunting moos and absolutely detests [[bat]]s, will make statues of both, presumably out of love for cows and horrified fascination for bats. | A dwarf's preferences (and disliked vermin) tend to feature in any artwork the dwarf makes, more often than subjects not listed in their profile.

A dwarf working with a material they like - or creating items they like out of that material - will produce higher-[[quality]] goods. For example, a [[mechanic]] that likes olivine generally makes better [[olivine]] than [[granite]] mechanisms. This is most important during [[embark]], when individual personality profiles and skills can be best matched up according to your specifications. For example, make the dwarf that likes [[bed]]s your [[carpenter]] and the dwarf that likes gold your [[blacksmith]]. [[armorsmith|Urist McLikesbreastplates]] would be a good candidate for Armorsmith. This works less well later on with immigrants, as it is usually more advantageous to train up the great armorsmith than the novice armorsmith who likes steel. | A dwarf working with a material they like - or creating items they like out of that material - will produce higher-[[quality]] goods.
