Title: Exploit at preparing carefully in DF mode
Post by: Hazman on August 22, 2006, 08:03:00 am

I've noticed that when picking items to take with you, barrels are 10 points each but dwarven beer is only 2 points per unit and comes with a barrel.
So for the 10 points you spend on a barrel you can buy 5 barrels + 5 dwarven beer.
Perhaps you should only be able to buy it in groups of 5 for 15 points or something?

Yeah, you're not the first to notice that. Toady has mentioned that he needs to fool around with the prices of things (Cheese is another one, but it's way the other way, 5 dwarf cheese costs 500, which is nuts.)

For now, just take advantage of the free barrels.

I'm using Reclaim mode to stock my fortress... SINCE I GET WIPED OUT every 2 months... I'm trying to get the traps installed, but I am afraid the cave river hates me. I noticed that as well, so next time I reclaim, I'm gonna invest in some barrels of ALE... because ale = no insane dwarvises.
