DF Suggestions / Where The Rivers Run Brownish With Booze: Mixing Swill
« on: June 05, 2012, 02:15:09 am »
Dwarf Fortress has two liquids that flow, water and magma. I am here to propose a third: Swill.
In the same way dwarves can create a pond with buckets of water, they would be able to make a swill with barrels or other containers of alcohol. It would behave like water, with the difference that dwarves who drink it wouldn't get an unhappy thought from drinking water, or at least get a less severe one. It could be gathered in buckets or used as the source for a well, and would have a lower priority than proper booze, but a higher priority than water, in terms of what thirsty dwarves would choose to drink. However, the most important feature is that it would flow, and could be pumped, as if it was water. Players could create artificial rivers of booze, or even boozefalls, in their fortresses. Ponder that concept for a moment, and try to tell me this isn't the dwarven thing to do.
Don't let me down, Toady. Give me my rivers of booze.
