v0.31:Anatomy
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
This page contains a list of all the body parts in the game.
Head
- Hair
- Eyes
- Eyes, while not essential for life, are annoying to lose. The loss of one or both eyes alone will not cause death, but may have other adverse effects. If both eyes are lost then the creature will lose its vision. Currently, eyes cannot be entirely lost, only damaged.
- Eyelids
- These can be damaged and Toady believes that eyes will be washed with soap if they cannot be washed by the eyelids due to injury.
- Brain
- Any damage to the brain will likely result in death.
- Also if the damage is minor the dwarf may experience periodic unconsciousness.
Upper Body
- Lungs
- Damage to one or both lungs can be sustained, but will cause difficulty of breath and may result in a loss of speed. Major damage will cause death.
- Heart
- Major damage to the heart will not cause death (until major arteries are fixed)
- Stomach
- It's bad if it's damaged.
- Liver
- Used for processing alcohol. Dwarven livers are much stronger than human livers and have never been damaged by alcohol. The loss of a liver is a terrible thing for a dwarf. (Actual effects of a lost liver seem to be nil, but correct this if that's wrong)
- Guts
- Under pressure, and can pop out of wound. Also damage here causes vomiting and pain
- Arms
- Upper Arms
- Lower Arms
- Hands
- Fingers
- Nails
Lower Body
- Legs
- Upper Legs
- Lower Legs
- Feet
- Toes
- Nails
- These will grow and become unkempt if not taken care of. This is done automatically by dwarves.
Skin
First protective layer.
Fat
Fat can be gained or lost depending on how much a creature eats and how much it works. It will melt if heated to a high enough temperature. This is a layer below the skin and above the muscle.
Muscle
This layer is under the fat.
Arteries
If damaged, heavy bleeding will likely result in death. They appear to contain several gallons of blood.
Nerves
If damaged, the body part they are connected to will become useless or less effective.
Tendons
If destroyed, the limbs they connect will be useless.
