1. They say, "Praise the miners!", indicating joy, not something like "Run for your Life!", indicating terror.They know what adamantine is. They declare praise the miners. Thus, logically, they know about adamantine and the awful consequences it can have. Also, just because the GMs word is law doesn't mean the GM has to declare absolutely everything. Did (s)he have to say dying means you make a new char? That mining gets rid of stone? That you can make things from stone and wood?But those tales have not existed, in-universe, in ANY version of Dwarf Fortress to date.JUST GIVE MY DWARF A FEW SECONDS TO WALK PAST THE WALL.Because of hereditary tales of forts laid low before the wrath of the demons, for the sin of abusing Armok's gift.
And how would Ūben know about the dangers of adamantine?In general, this game sticks to DF, so we should assume it's like DF.Anyways, surely the GM would have mentioned such apocalyptic tales?GM's word is law, so we should trust it.
2. Did the makers of the first gas-burning stove or steam engine or diesel engine or automobile know that they were contributing to global warming? No. Just because you now one thing doesn't mean you now everything.
3. The GM doesn't need to say obvious stuff, but important, unclear stuff (if dwarves know about adamantine's inhabitants) should be mentioned.
Isn't there a way to make a creature interact other creatures into existence? You know, the creating a part which falls off and gets reanimated?Actually, adventure mode reactions are the only way to do that. INTERactions, however, no.Well, not with an Adventure mode reaction.Without some crazy shenanigans.and don't know if you CAN have it bring things spontaneously into existanceYou can't.
How about, um, everything that involves interacting with more than a few people or getting decent, market-price deals on supplies? And there's plenty of business offers that could require us to enter atmosphere to pick something up.How do you suggest we enter atmosphere in the meantime? Parachutes?I suggest to not enter atmosphere meantime. There are many jobs that doesn't require entering atmosphere
