Awesome ranger accidentally kicked stairs

I can see how it should, but I can also see how
it should eat up more than one turn to drop a
thousand items. There are lots of things in ADOM
that make no practical sense, but work fine from
a game perspective. Food that weighed less than
armor would be the best place to start.

Hell yeah, when I saw the weight of iron rations for the first time, I thought that they certainly must be made out of actual iron, and large rations, good lord.

Kind of amazing that a hurthling can eat 1000 stones of food
at one setting, yet still wiegh as much as a small dog.

And seeing that one only provides enough nutrition for five hours of dungeon exploration...
A normal troll will consume almost 100kg of iron rations a day, that's in the vicinity of an elephant's food intake.
I assume that large rations are not so much actual rations of actual food, but small bales of straw. With medievalish technology, those could be rather incompletely threshed, so you could still pick maybe a quarter pound of grains out of such a bale. Why they get sold as 'food' just shows how incredibly stingy the inhabitants of Terinyo are.

Or the fact a non-troll can starve to death in a few hours. People have been able to go months without food.

I always imagined that there was 3 stones of food,
incased in 197 stones of wrapping, but that's probably
based on how the stores sell food products these days.

It's probably junk food. Munxip's Magnificent Munchies Mall must be the Ancardia equilavent of MacDonald's then. :P

[gut]

You eat rations, your hungry again an hour later.

[flibble]

I think they're made out of rat tails and fat worm.

I like the bales of straw theory, but where do loaves of bread get all their weight? Does each loaf come with the mortar, pestle, and oven used in producing it?
