Honestly I'd think Vampires would want to kill someone sleeping alone and not in a bunker if they could help it.As with many things, they would if they weren't not programmed to do that.
If they're Children, then they were probably abducted by Goblins - when they're taken from the map, they're removed from the snatcher's bag and given the final thought "is happy to be free" which instantly makes them ecstatic.
Wait, seriously? That's actually really deep, like we were really the oppressive ones all along...
Ahahah, I'm just joking, we're all just evil madmen here. I don't think that that was ever really in question.
*facepalm* I totally missed that you can make metal mechanisms. Your first objection to wooden ones applies 10x more to stone though. Lets see you make a practical stone latch. Meenwhile I'll be over here making one in a few minutes with a pocket knife and a few sticks. Also wood works fine for gears. Hell that's what most water wheels and windmills were made with IRLDwarves have metal tools, rock is stronger than wood and lacks a grain you have to worry about, and there's no cultural issues about dwarves and stone. The opposite, in fact.
It doesn't, it never did. Burning lignite did, because it would never melt, but I hear that issue got fixed.How can a goblin steal a baby from its mother without the mother noticing over and over again? You'd think they'd learn to pay more attention to their kids, considering how much they complain once they notice...
Dwarves believe strongly in independence. A baby disappearing is a sign of independence, and a source of pride. It's the theft of the baby from the fortress, very nearly resembling death, from their perspective, that so bothers the dwarves.
Why does burning coal in an iron bin create an eternal flame?
That reminds me, we still need a genetic modification branch.That would be mine. I am the First Officer of the Really Great Organic Technology, Engineering of New Biological Equipment, And Stuff, Thing; head of the Bioweapons, Internal Organs; Growing Lethal and/or Desireable Organics Section.
Well, all the info on the monitors will come from the AI, so you dont really have a choice.An AI. There can be others. I certainly wouldn't want to be the main AI, then I couldn't make genetic stuff.
You could be part of the AI if you wanted. If you ARE the AI, you can hardly distrust it. It will not be a piece of coding, Wyrm wants to be the AI.Quote from: MiauwVolounteers to be stored on a disk and used for the AI?I'd be interested to be turned to an AI, once the bugs get worked out and robot bodies are available.
How about: Heuristic Intelligent Vehicles for Multiple Interesting/Notable Devices?
Dont make mistakes.And I'm sure as HFS not going to undergo AIfication until it's been perfected!
And with long expirimenting, we could get the code to be right. Aperture science did it, we can do it too.
The liason related screen that says "Stop listening in on conversation" baffles me.The way I understand it is, the game is telling you the important parts of the conversation and leaving out the rest. When the liason says "
It tends to pop up randomly like 20 realtime minutes after we've set the trade agreement up.
It's kinda like having someone burst into the room yell "Goodbye" and leave.
What conversation is this supposed to be anyway, the trade agreement notification? Certainly nothing else is ever 'said'
Who in a narrative sense was doing the listening anyway? It seems a kinda fourth wall breaking way of putting it too considering this is a game with no player avatar, where ostensibly the dwarf nobles and managers are overseeing things.
