You're going to need a Fremen Death Still for that.

Dune is destined to be a part of this thread, it seems.

Oh yea, are we going to be able to make soldiers carry booze instead of water in this release and what about giving the injured booze instead of water? I think I heard about the second bit somewhere.

Soldiers carrying booze is under Squads in the List, so yes to that.  Req573 is "Boozing the wounded," so it's coming sometime, but it doesn't seem to be on the List.

Heck, in ye' olden days, whiskey was the best thing you could give to a severely wounded man.

I was tempted to do another Dune reference at Tenebrais, but decided to quit with the dune references so much.

Anyways, cool on that. I knew I had seen those two around somewhere, but wasn't sure on the status.

Am I the only one who finds the expression 'boozing the wounded' sort of amusing ?

In my mind has flashed a young dwarf coming back from the battlefield with the corpse of a friend he went to rescue, trying to explain 'I... I haven't had the time... I couldn't... couldn't manage to... booze him up... [dramatic, painful, tear-eyed shout]I couldn't booze him up !!!'

That seems sort of parodic to me.

He'll never water it down, poor dorf.

As for visitors in emergencies: merchants will stay at the depot and liasons etc will follow your broker/leader wherever he goes.
Just a matter of protecting your hoard as usual.

Toady, I am loving the recent updates.  No other game developer supports their modders like you do.

But, a word of warning from a crazy cat lady.  Once you start calling your cat Mr Anything, you are but a short time away from dressing them in little outfits and throwing them birthday parties.

...Although Scamps would look very manly with his own little dwarven helmet...

Yes. I've always been really, really impressed by the amount of feedback and dev information provided to the community here.

With the advent of burrows in the next version, will it be possible to set up an area specifically for animals to wander around in (IE : The front of the fort, where they can catch thieves), while the jobless masses meander around the well?

[Aqizzar]

Toady is frying in his home as we speak.  Scamps can't take much more!  Time to start a window-unit donatathon I think.

[ToonyMan]

How much do ACs go for now-a-days?

[Aqizzar]

Supposedly, Sears has new ones starting at $100.  Used units are a dime a dozen, but I don't imagine anyone in Seattle is selling theirs right before the biggest heat wave in Washington history.

[ToonyMan]

We need an elite squad with jets to air bomb Toady with ACs.

[jamoecw]

i think power consumption costs is where the costs are, i mean i could make one or less than $100 easy, but it wouldn't be efficient or last long.

Yesterday weather.com said we'd get up to 94F today, which is around where we've been at, but now they tell me it is currently 101F.  It feels about the same as yesterday though, since the humidity dropped.  Scamps was camping out at the pet carrier hoping to be taken away, but my brother's phone isn't working for whatever reason, so I'm currently just sitting here half-braindead slowly reading random crap on the internet since thinking isn't an option right now.

1. Get a face cloth.
2. Fill it full of cold water.
3. Place on top of head.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 if the face cloth gets dry.
5. Watch Trading Places.

Ugh I can't help it. I find this hopelessly cute.

Then again almost anything animals do I find cute.
