As one might guess from my name, I like dwarves. As such, I refuse to attack the Dvergr. I have obtained multiple extractors and a fair amount of soft tissue without ever aggroing a single dwarf. That said, I have regrettably had to bring a great deal of unfortunateness to some Dvergr sites while not assisting them at all and even pushing some recalcitrant dwarves into melee range of certain insectoid enemies. I really do wish there was another way.
