DF Gameplay Questions / Goblin citizens being kept from alcohol?
« on: January 22, 2022, 12:05:53 pm »
Vanilla fort, except for the aggressive chickens and small number of dorfs.  Recruited a goblin bard, two years later her husband signed up, too.  They've had two kids since he got here, girl's fourteen now, boy's eight.  They are all citizens at this point.  Mom and Dad are frustrated from a lack of decent meals, but that's understandable, because they have goblin tastes, which the dorfs and traders don't have foodstuffs for.  The kids grew up with dorf tastes and values, so they're fine, fitting right in.

The problem is, all three adults are frustrated / dejected / distracted about "being kept from alcohol".  The eight year old is not, doesn't talk about booze. 

What's going on?  Is there any way to get alcohol to these citizens?  Dad's a true blue goblin, but Mom's a peach, and the kids are alright.  Girl in particular shows a lot of promise.  Besides, fertile couples are always welcome, obviously.  So I'd like to solve this one.  Thanks!

DF Suggestions / "Simple" meditation suggestion
« on: January 20, 2022, 12:23:42 pm »
I did the pre-suggestion tasks and found nothing exactly like this.  I'm aware religion in DF is complicated, so a focus on meditation avoids that.

I have a DF game set in a stereotypical Eastern monastery.  One of the things done in such places is organized, scheduled group meditation.  There is currently no way to organize or schedule meditation in DF.

Suggestion: To improve the experience of monastic life in DF, I suggest a way be provided to compel the dwarves to meditate.

One implementation would be to make "meditate" a military order.  The dwarves would head to a non-denominational temple and meditate there, similar to how they would be stationed or trained there, meaning they may drift in and out, be more or less likely to go, etc.  A little more complicated would be to designate a piece of furniture as a meditation spot, as is done for training.

The meditation would be generic, not specific to a deity, not "on" anything.  Regular meditation would still occur.

That's it.  Thanks for listening.
