Feces and Urine
« on: September 19, 2008, 03:40:32 am »
Hello, I really liked the game. But I noticed something vital missing - the feces and urine. How can Dwarf, Elfs, Human, animals, and all the living creatures out there staying alive for years without taking a poop and leak?

It could be added to game among with toilet.

Dwarf (or some living creature) want to take a shit or urine, they'd go to toilet if it exists. Feces or urine would go down to sewer, magma, or bucket if player would like. If it doesn't exist, they could try do it outdoor. Feces can also be another use for farming fertilizer. Perhaps toilet can boost dwarf "positive" thoughts ("ahh what a relieve, in door waste deposal" or something among those line ;) ). There can be more pro and cons with feces and urine but I ran out of idea what else could be suggested for the game related with those two.

This is my first post and first suggestion, please go easy. Post away.

Edit - It's been added to Eternal Suggestion, go vote! Thanks teefek.

Not this shit again...


Sorry, had to say it.  Don't take it the wrong way.

Truth is, this idea has been suggested quite a few times before.  The results have been mostly the same, with a split between those who would really like to have it and those who would really hate having it.  However, the majority tends to favor keeping it out of the game.  There is such a thing as too much detail.

Especially when you're considering creatures as brain-dead as dwarves.  Having to personally wipe the butts of a fortress of 200 could get unbearably tedious.

I think this is OK. Attack the iron-packet transferrer goblins with your feces. After that, you can literally blow them all.

Oh fuck, not the toilet suggestion again. Also, "I miss feces and urine in Dwarf Fortress" makes me very happy I don't know you IRL.

If I wanted to recreate the world of one of my favorite stories, I should be able to specify that there is a civilization called Groan, ruled by Earls from a castle called Gormanghast.
You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

Just imagine the option in the init file if this becomes init-configureable

I think this might one day actually be implemented in some form or other - see the PowerGoal called "Digestive Tract Lesson".

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.

I'm all for this. Including designating a latrine zone.

Yeah, I like this too. It goes well with the gritty/"realistic" feel of the game and makes for an interesting bit of logistics. And really, it's not like the graphics will be offensive. The ASCII is actually a big advantage in this case! :D

I'm more than fairly certain Toady said no to bio-waste.

Also I think Digestive Tract Lesson was refering to Food Poisoning, Poisoning, and the effects of eating...

Rather then Silly poop jokes (Well alright... I could picture him adding "Farts" to the game as part of it)

Note: I am not saying this topic is a silly poop joke

PowerGoal89, DIGESTIVE TRACT LESSON, (Future): You are eaten by the dragon. It chews on you briefly, and you are grieviously wounded, but it swallows you and you survive. The powerful acids in its stomach surround you, but you are protected by your ring. Eventually you are passed into the intestines, where nutrients and water are absorbed, and then you are excreted.


But anyway. I agree that implementing feces seems silly at first. But they would create a need for stuff like sewers (which is awesome) and you could use manure from the livestock as fertilizer (which is realistic and not bad).


Edit:

Bonus fun fact: Toady was at one time working on a game called "Shit Thrower Cannibals".
