Irrational demands. What do?
« on: June 15, 2011, 06:25:00 am »

So, my mayor has decided that his bedroom would look absolutely dandy with a copper slab in it.

Only problem is, I'm pretty sure those don't exist.

Is it time for me to consign my mayor to the meltiness of magma?

It's a demand, so it's not of great importance. He'll gain unhappy thoughts for the next year and a half or so, and then he'll forget the demand and that will be the end of it. No punishments are caused by failed demands, unlike failed mandates.

Or a steel bed.

That being said, it sounds like your mayor is a time traveler from the next release.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

Slabs already exist in the current version - but only as rocks.

I solve irrational demands by swapping out to a new mayor.  No one gets punished for not making the item, and you can move on like nothing every happened.

He deserves the bad thoughts.

Since it's a demand and not a mandate, that's all that'll happen. I'd just let it.

Just wondering: If a mayor/baron mandates something and it doesn't get made, and there's no captain of the guard, and there's no jail, what will they do?

Nothing, just pout and sulk around a bit until they runs into masterpiece furnishing or legendary room. And it's back to high as all.

The punishment will sit in the queue until a captain of the guard is assigned.

If you've built the jail since then, the CotG will drag them over and lock them up. Otherwise, it's time for a beating.

i hope in future versions they will make some of these nobles useful.

Currently the only reason we need (most of) them is for self induced fun

Dumping copper ore next to a mason's workshop could provide for a copper slab. I unintentionally made some tin doors, by dumping cassiterite in the wron place in 31.18.
