DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Dwarven noise complaints

Okay, I did a couple experiments with a "starter fortress" I'm running to get the hang of the changes.

Result:  noise complaints within 4 levels of a workshop.  5 or more levels away, and the dwarves sleep like babies.

Not sure how any diagonals may affect things (three squares up, one west, for instance).  Further trials continue.

Well, that could be problematic for the "department store" design ("third floor, housing district, fifth floor, heavy industry, going up!"), unless carefully structured.  I wonder how far up and down it goes?

Has anyone figured out if the 4-space thing still applies in the Z-axis?  In other words, if a dwarf's bedroom is directly over a workshop, how many floors away does it need to be for the poor dwarf to get some sleep?

"One-humped camel" and "two-humped camel" sound pretty awkward, though.

Suggestion: change to "dromedary camel" (from the Greek "to run") and "steppe camel" (since that's where they live).

Terribly minor, I know.

I asked this question in the "Dwarf Mode" forum and nobody knew, so I did some experimentation.  The rule for workshop noise in the z-axis is the same as for horizontal: within 4 levels, they'll be disturbed, 5 or more away and they're fine.
