Will visitors be able to pursue romantic relationships with other visitors and the permanent residents of your fortress?

With the ability for jobs like butchering to affect the creature based on its ethics will elves be able to butcher a sentient corpse if given the task if they are a member of your fortress or will they attempt not to offend the dwarves?

There has been no talk about fortress entities refusing to do labors they have set. So probably not.

You just answered this a second time and the question still isn't anything to do with refusing labors...

the magic 8-ball points to yes, as they keep their ethics. If you slap [CIV_PLAYABLE] under the elf civ and start a fort with them they have no problem butchering sentients right? The code is there already.

Toady mentioned that just because a human can forge iron high boots, your fort can't just start teaching the secrets of high boot production. But i think the difference for this case is that [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE] is a core ethic where forging with specific reagents is it's own system, with it's own separate tags.

Wouldn't it follow the same principle as as high boots? I don't know anything about the inner workings of DF except what Toady's posted in the Dev log, but it seems to me that a butcher shop in a Dwarf civ's fortress won't ever put out a call to butcher a sentient creature and so there won't be a job for the Elf to do.

Mind you butchering seems to work in a different order to other workshop jobs, so perhaps I'm mistaken.

According to the devlog, it is just the work satisfaction thought that is affected at the moment. So elves may be depressed or angered by chopping trees, for example.

Though if non-dwarven residents can still use their original ethics, then it may be possible for them to butcher, though I wouldn't know for certain. It may rely on the base-civilization's ethics, which may prevent the butchering of sapients entirely.

It's something to look forward to discovering, at the least.

I imagine that civ-playable elven retreats will have horrified dwarven butchers butchering dwarven invader corpses rather than dwarven fortresses being inundated with goblin meat butchered by their elven immigrants.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

So the question is, will things that are forbidden to dwarves due to their ethics be allowed by immigrants, like an elf butcher or cook making sentient creature products? Or did I misunderstand again?

Forget elven butchers and wood cutters.


Put them in your military, give them metal gear, and watch the goblin guts fly.

I wonder if this stuff also plays out in Adventure mode when Human civs get random/procedural ethics. Would be damn funny if a Butcher from a Civ A that cant butcher pigs or somesuch works for Civ B, has enough of this shit and start throwing slicing knives. More diverse ethics would be cool for such cases and/or religion relate ethics.

procedural/random ethics? I hope civ ethics can be turned static or variable on a per ethic level in the raws, I usually like to modify my games so no matter how different the cultures of DF are, they can all agree on one thing: baby-snatching and slavery are A-OK.

(It's a great way to get multi-racial factions in world-gen don't judge me)

There is literally no way the random ethics can work except having it in the raws, since humans are the only ones who actually get the randomness.

Also, baby snatching ain't an ethic.
