If your not adverse to modding, you could use dfhack to drop magma, then water on it.

Cage traps are your friend.

Especially with flying-dwarf-slaughtering-hellspawn.

So I should wall and ceiling off the pit except for a single long corridor, and line it with cage traps? To create AIR CAVALRY-

I know most things in pits don't respawn, but do bats? I don't recall seeing one in there upon embark but I could be wrong.

As long as they haven't tasted dwarf blood I suppose. A few topics back I "Tamed" a nambed Giant Bat and it still went after my dwarves.

You could always sell em to the Elves, let them deal with the monstrous blood suckers.

DF Gameplay Questions / Make a what? at glass furnace?
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:26:58 pm »
I'm not sure how to fix this one... when I go into the glass furnace (And some other workshops) the options are cut off by the size of the screen.

"Make a green glass p" etc.
Is there a way to scroll to the side or fix this?

Last noob question today, I swear. :)

i'm assuming its the same thing as water, water makes soil or stone muddy or damp, this means you have to constantly tell your dwarves to dig a certain rock

its annoying, but just keep telling them to do it, they'll get it done

Water makes the tiles ABOVE it damp? Huh, never noticed that.

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma warms stone wealls above?
« on: June 21, 2009, 04:18:00 pm »
Is this supposed to happen? I mined out a "room" to build Magma Forges over, sealed it off, and channeled into the magma to fill it up. No problem so far.

But when I am trying to mine ABOVE said magma room, all the walls above it are showing up as warm and the dorfs keep canceling. When I tell them to do it anyways, no magma comes out to kill them of course.

What is up? I've never had this happen before.

Only in dwarf fortress do you see the terms bug and feature used interchangeably.  ;D

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarf Flesh = Delcious?
« on: June 19, 2009, 10:25:40 am »
So I caught a Giant Bat in a cage trap roughly 2 minutes before the Dungeon Master shows up. Not thinking about that the beast was named after killing 2 of my dorfs I decided to tame the monster.

Stupid me, I figured TAME meant it would STOP trying to eat my dwarves.

Trying to attach it to a chain at the entrance ended in tragedy for my poor blacksmith. The horror was brought down by the fortress guard. (How embarassing.)

So the question is this, even though something is technically "Tame" if its tasted dwarf flesh it just can't help itself ever again?

Huh. I didn't know they'd have things like executions in the histories. Guess I didn't read into individuals too much!

they werent executed.  They were killed by goblins and then their bodies were used as decorations.

Dwarves bury bodies, humans dont give a shit, elves eat them, kobolds loot them, and goblins use them to perfect their living rooms.

I just literally just burst out laughing. As I type my daughter is asking me whats so funny?

I'll wait till shes older to explain it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Face Palm moments you had
« on: April 21, 2009, 11:18:10 am »
Using stone stockpiles to clear out my other stockpiles before I  was informed of the dumping menu. <facepalm>

Losing my entire fort to one GCS due to not understanding the forbid menu. <facepalm>

And recently I mined out a small bit of a frozen river then backtracked to put in floodgates and controls... while I was waiting for the dorfs to put in the gates the river started to thaw... Needless to say it didn't turn out well. <facepalm>
