Each and every person finds their own entertainment. Perhaps he likes to stare at falling water drops.

How do spores travel though walls?

[brainfreez]

the wall gets soaked with spores and the wall cannot handle the pressure , so it spits out the spores in other side of the wall .

why kobolds don't trade their gems for weapons ?

[pisskop]

When a peoper caste system is invented, kobold will be as the hutts are from Star Wars.  They will grow corpulent and sluggish and rich, pooping eggs for bikini-clad captured adventurers to tend to.

Why do dwarfs refuse to conquer the world?

[brainfreez]

booze is more important than world .

why are dwarves so afraid of wildlife ? (cancels make wall : interrupted by doe rabbit x200)

[Frontestro]

Dwarves are afraid of wildlife because they live in a world where a xXpigtail fiber left sockXx falling 1z level can cripple you for the rest of your life. As for the rabbit..."That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!  It's a killer! He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about."

[Joben]

What sort of a gonzo economy does this world have so that I can buy wagon loads of food, cloth, animals and metal tools, for a few hampers full of well used, often bloodstained, clothing?

Clothing, I might add, which might not even fit the species I am trading it to.

[GoombaGeek]

Caravans bring barrels of blood and ichor for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Clearly, there is a large blood industry behind the scenes of DF, and the bloodstains on the clothing are top-grade for extracting and packaging to be sold. Honestly, it's a bargain.

So onto the next question.

Why do caravans bring barrels of blood and ichor and how on earth do you fill an entire barrel with mosquito ichor? Are there mosquito farms?!

[acetech09]

What do you think human children do all day? They run around catching mosquitos one by one, suffocating them, and putting them in a bin. Then they run the bin of mosquito through a screw press. And if the price wasn't low, we couldn't call it child slavery.

And the blood? They bring it to the dwarves because, frankly, god knows what goes on inside our fortresses, and it's a unwanted byproduct of butchering the meat that they also bought. Just like us selling worn clothing to the traders. God knows what they'll use it for, but we don't need it anymore.

Why do smaller crabs have nastier claws? (Actually a RL question. I caught a blue crab about 30 mins ago in a homemade crab pot, and it bit me when trying to take it out. Lobster claws hurt less than the absolutely excruciating pain of a tiny blue crab pincer.)

[GoombaGeek]

Force divided by surface area equals PAIN. Serrated blade traps work on the same principle - imagine if the crab had tiny but very long claws and pinched with the same force because it would have your finger off.

If an unusually moody dwarf were to go about making an ultra-compact wristwatch, would it use creature logic, mechanical logic, or fluid logic?

[Joben]

lol Goomba your asnwer makes a wonderful amount of (non)sense.

Sometimes they bring me things like Honey Bee Venom. I always wonder if htere's a way to weaponize it.

[pisskop]

Booze power.  But then it would be consumed when afforementioned moody dwarf comes to and realizes how sober he is.  He made a(solid) bloody timepiece out of rum and a cat-spleen, instead of naplom covered cat-bombs.

What does dwarf heaven look like?

[Wrex]

Magma. More magma than you can imagine. But Magma made out of booze


Why are my hunters both stupid enough to attack an elephant, and good enough shots to succeed?

[crazysheep]

Because they can. Everything is fair game, from unicorns to undead badgers.

What do dwarves do with all the blood brought by caravans?

[pisskop]

Armok?!!  Everyone worships Armok, and if you offer enough enough boood he brings you glory, sometimes in the form of upright addy weapons.

Why don't worldgen dorfs settle good or evil mountains?

[Loud Whispers]

Everyone worships Armok

Well about that... Dwarves never worship Armok. We do. But enough of the philosophy, you asked a question and I shall answer it.

Dwarves are neutral. The good despises them and the Dwarves despise evil. There's no sense in settling on a mountain that tries to kill you more than a normal one would.

There is my answer and now I will posit a question of my own construction.

Moods and martial trances. How do they work?
