Evil regions have aquifers of blood and other liquids
« on: January 21, 2020, 07:25:40 pm »

Evil regions rain blood, snot and vomit but you're safe inside.  I think the aquifers in these regions should be able to contain the same fluids.  What's more evil than the walls of your fortress seeping elf blood? 

With the new slow aquifers it seems like we will be able dig through them with some directed drainage into the caverns and just live with a wet section of stairs into the fort.  I'm guessing that will become common, which means a blood aquifer would slowly fill magnificent pools of horror in the caverns.

Inspired by:
Likewise, could we create the equivalent of aquifers for other fluids (pettroleum, gas)?

Sounds great. And why not add flesh block (veins) instead of stone/ore veins. Instead of the sand layer you get a partial skin layer. Would fit great in the eyes and tentacles biome.

Would be in favor, maybe only vampires and creatures like Mosquito's, blood gnats/ (vampire bats of either verminous or otherwise?) can drink from it without feeling the need to actually drink from our dwarves.

Mmm blood-mister, and horrible blood drinking thoughts.

+1 Before the liquid rework, this could just mean aquifer water has a (decently) chance of being laced with the rain material. Do dwarves feel bad for drinking blood-water already?

Some of these fluids should have syndroms.

Given it's the same material as the rain (and not separate fluids) the syndromes should carry.

So the entire region is a living biome, and the dwarfs embarked there like blood sucking ticks?
