TLDR: Code was added that allowed substances to accumulate on fur. Cats lick their fur to clean themselves. Due to the calculation used for intoxication and body weight, cats kept getting lethally drunk from walking through spilled beer and licking it off of their feet.
This level of detail leads to tons of emergent game play and stories.
> fish and all other creatures are coded similar to Dwarfs for level progression, so training a skill not only improves the skill but also the relevant physical stats. Well, Carps have swimming as a skill. And they are always swimming. So within minutes of spawning every carp was a dwarf-sized mass of angry muscle and razor sharp teeth.
Haha lol. I maybe still have a screenshot of a Forgotten Beast killing himself by kicking up a dead cat's tooth (the cat was killed by some previous FB) (and the tooth deals a fatality).
Yeah there were pretty interesting edge cases with calculations. Like, for example, there is still [1] a bug for a whip doing unreasonable amount of damage in some cases because armour penetration logic was pretty much strength/area = penetration power.
And because whip hit only with tiny end, it pretty much went thru any armour
