Is there any way to weight likes and dislikes?
« on: June 28, 2010, 09:33:43 pm »
I'm making a fort themed around lobsters, is there a way to weight likes and dislikes (as listed in a dwarf description) so that they prefer to eat lobster, engrave pictures about lobsters, carve statues depicting lobsters etc.

I was thinking something to do with spheres perhaps?

I believe so.

Sorry i cannot get more in depth than that but I do know it is possible to weight things at least somewhat for the dwarfs.

As far as I know, all you can do with item/material preferences is use the PREF_FOO tokens to guarentee certain ones; that's why dwarves ALWAYS have a stone and a metal pref and it's at the beginning of the list, I think.
