... then we can make the game into theme hospital

Bloating beard disease, pop with obsidian sword, then fill back up with magma and water for obsidian replacement.

But seriously, if you implemented bathrooms, for the most part people would just want to build pit drops turrets over a massive pit, and there's simply no way it would ever fill up. Plus, you'd probably need to implement a vertical stench thing and...

I'd rather have more complex machinery rather than play pipe dreams.

I'd be pretty satisfied with this game when I can make a literal pit of feces to drop people in.

I like the bucket/restroom idea, but you should also be able to build a chair over a hole to create a toilet. Then you can dump it onto whatever you like (magma, water, goblins).

This could ALSO make rotten food more interesting. Desperate dwarves might decide to eat rotten food, but this makes them have to use the restroom for a long...long time!

With silly-as-hell quotes  like this going on (and many others in this thread), it's pretty clear why Toady ISN'T implementing this stuff, I think.

If Toady ignored requests that spawned silly comments, Dwarf Fortress would be nearly devoid of features. Your logic is hard for me to follow, to say the least.

I know. It just seems like, by the nature of this thread, that adding this sort of thing to DF would just result in way too much utterly-tasteless junk that's better left out.

Goodness I can see it now... Megaprojects of building the game's largest Toilet... Over 100 stories tall.

Right ... we'd better stick with kitten drowning and baby butchering.

Killing kittens and babies is something natural and beautiful, while excreting is unwholesome and wicked.

I don't recall people intentionally butchering babies much in DF.

They butcher kittens, yeah, but that's to get around the whole catsplosion issue, which IS a problem. Butchering kittens, once proper solutions to that problem are in place, won't be an issue.

It will if I have anything to say about it. I've never had a cat problem, just infinite potential for entertainment.

And on-topic, I can see your point about how pits of feces are a bit unfocused as a feature, but really... Pits of feces. You can't deny the lure.

It's more like a power goal in that regard.  Hmm, and there is at least one poop-alluding powergoal already:

# PowerGoal153, THE CRACKS OF DOOM, (Future): You flee into the sewer with the baron's ring, but sliding in the muck, you drop it. Try as you might, you cannot locate the precious object in the town's filth.

Don't try and tell me it's just mud in that sewer.

Agreed, and if that title isn't a play on words I don't know what is.
