PLEASE do some, "scalpel, nurse."Yech, Don't you mean, "Nurse, Scalpel." Cause scalpel nurse sounds like bloodshed with a missing "the". But then again...
On that subject - what happens to Subjects who're too infirmed to ever walk again and will spend the rest of their lives in the hospital?
Um.. well.. thats interesting. An Elf merchant and his donkey went insane for.. no reason. They just stood outside for ages until they both went nuts, the elf going melancholy and the donkey going berserk. The donkey then killed my weaver. I'm busy building the outer fort for the Subjects..
Now the donkey is chasing a giant moose around my map..
Suggestion: Experiment - drop subject on a second subject (standing in the landing zone) from 20 stories up. Document wounds of both subjects.Both will be stunned, but unharmed.
Assessment: Results haven't been terribly promising so far.
Query: What is done with testing waste? Hygiene must be taken into account. Building coffins costly endeavour - consider burning remains.
Suggestion: Consider dropping the next subject from 15 levels. Results may be more promising (or at least less messy).
Suggestion: Food - doctor and nurses' health should be put above those of the subjects'. Sub-par food goes to subjects, quality food intended for medical staff.
Suggestion: Vermin - acceptable food source in times of scarcity. Less fat = less mess during surgery, besides.
Suggestion: Experiment - drop subject on a second subject (standing in the landing zone) from 20 stories up. Document wounds of both subjects.
Suggestion: Cat - after determining survivable fall height for dwarf subject, try to determine if small animals survive from higher altitudes. (This suggestion is mostly for my own amusement, I'll admit - will leave more vermin for subjects to eat, though.)
Comment: Keep up the good work.

I hate elves, and their super-donkeys. This one had a nice little title going for it.. not sure what it was though, as I save scummed.
The donkey killed his elf, killed my weaver, then chased the moose around until mid summer, when the moose ran into my fort, donkey trailing it, where the donkey killed the moose (note, this is a GIANT moose), a dwarven child, and three of my militia before we could kill it, and thus began a tantrum spiral that caused me to have to save scum. :|Sig'd.

Perhaps at the bottom of the pit you could engrave onto the floor,
"This is the special surprise..."
This sombre phrase would be the last thing to go through the dwarf's head. Both figuratively and literally.
Screenshots?
Island of Dr. Moreau, anyone?With less surgery, more tape!
At least he likes workingwithon people...
I remember reading somewhere that falls of 10+ z-levels remove the living tag or somesuch from a falling critter, but that seems suspect. Seems like a nice, round death-number, though.Enemies sometimes survive it, particularly lightweight ones.

How are you going to keep attracting immigrants after the deaths mount up?
On the down side, no life insurance.How are you going to keep attracting immigrants after the deaths mount up?
Health Insurance. Free Health Insurance.
One question tho, who or what do you have in line for anyberserkuncooperative dwarfs?
Is skill rot off? Otherwise there's no way Morul II will be as awesome as Morul I. Just saying.
Edit: Also, didn't read the whole thing yet, but if a creature falls on another living creature it takes no damage, but both are knocked out for a bit. I suspect that the cat landed on one of the others that was bleeding out.
The cat obviously used its telekinetic powers to prevent any damage from being done, of course!Is skill rot off? Otherwise there's no way Morul II will be as awesome as Morul I. Just saying.

Skill rust is off for both Morul II's and Dr. Logum's save files. And as for Subject 2.75 (The Kitten), it couldn't have landed on either Subject 2 (The dwarf) or Subject 2.5 (The puppy), as they didn't get the chance to bleed out - they died as soon as they landed. It said "Subject 2 has died from colliding with an obstacle".
I think you should be studying what extra organs Subject 2.75 has mutated since his first pet died, instead of how he manages to live.
Because quite obviously, that cat can levitate.
Is there room to place doors that you can then lock? I also read the whole thread before my last post. I like it.
+1 If you construct the whole testing area and hospital out of billon/light grey stone w. white furniture/bridges.
And make the lever-puller a dwarf sealed in a room with no contact to the outside world - Genetic Lifeform and Dwarf Operating System.
If only you could make Subject 9 stronger, faster, better...
I wish I could draw, because this whole tread, and specially the two nurses, are perfect manga material. Sort of like Franken Fran, just with less love and more insanity. (Specially when the new release comes and we get necromancy)
The other nurse, Helene, is large, round, and bald, with a bad temper. Emma is constantly cheerful.. and also very clumsy.
I am strangely reminded of this Fallen Art (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9afMixLlXSM)

dwarves have the best rebuttal to anything.The Necro910 Effect, correct?
So falling 11+ z-levels leads to a dismemberment death? I'd be interested in knowing how deep a dodge-trap pit has to be to maximize death while minimizing hauling (if you have to clean it).If you have one tile of magma at the bottom of said pit, there would be no clean-up required!

Let's have the best of both worlds.
Normal hard pit when stuff falls down.
Once everything precious is pillaged and stocked inside the fort, release 1-z level of magma to clean the rest, and drain it back somewhere else when it's done.
Rinse, repeat.
... I think I'll do that.

I think it would be easier to just make the landing pad a bridge, under which Our Dear Friend resides.
I see the actual word for it a trademark of Necro.
EDIT: On reading more on Josef, he was the dorfiest ‼SCIENCE‼ist to ever live in real life.

My grandfather had twin sisters. We honestly don't know what happened after they were taken, no record ever surfaced. By the way they weren't jewish. To quote a movie, so many people forget that the first country that the Nazi's invaded was their own.
Sorry for the threadjack and downer, just happened to hit one of my three hotbuttons.
I've updated the original post a bit guys, with links to each of the journal entries to make finding them more organized. :DIndeed. I was not insulting the victims, I was stating that Medele had traits of dwarven ‼Science‼ist.

I'm sure no one meant any harm or insult to the actual victims or families of victims of WWII. Myself included, even though I've based Dr. Logum off of one of the most infamous doctors during that war myself.
I would be very interested to know if armor provided any protection from falling damage. You could dress a few test subjects in, for example, chainmail, breastplate, gauntlets, and helm, but no greaves or leggings or boots, and then investigate whether the incidence of serious injuries skewed towards the lower body.
It will be the ‼Science‼ task, after you're done with the proletarians, of course ;DI would be very interested to know if armor provided any protection from falling damage.

I'll attempt something of the sort, though at the moment, the supply fort does not have access to materials to make armor, nor do they have the fuel to make a ton of it. But I can work on it.
I'd probably try a season of danger room training, to see how maxed stats changes impact rating.
If I may,
"Your left arm takes the full force of the impact, shattering the bone through the organic armormetal left gauntlet."
This confirms that fall damage at least recognizes armor, I am unsure how much it helped, this was from a 4 Z-Level fall in Arena.
EDIT:
Yeah, I am pretty~ sure armor affects fall damage, I dropped two of the same creatures, one with armor from 4 levels, one had mostly bruising a few broken bones, the other was.. well, mangled would be the word for it, proceed with the science!
Science has been done before:

Try dropping a creature that is wearing a steel or addy breastplate and greaves. Read the combat report.

I hope the delay is because of school and not because somebody got offended.. this story is too good to end over something like that!Me too.
And if those people are harmed or insulted?It is always possible to find someone insulted by what you said, regardless of what you said. Always. You know, give me one line and all of that.
