DF Gameplay Questions / Trap Questions
« on: April 22, 2009, 09:45:10 pm »
Alright, I have a few questions:

Are pressure plates triggered by creatures that evade traps, such as kobold thiefs and orcs?

Is there a delay between activation of a pressure plate or lever and the activation of a spike trap?

Are there any good ways to keep dwarves close to a lever besides having all the levers at  your meeting area? It seems every time I want a lever pulled, my miner runs from his expedition to the center of the world all the way up, in which time, the orcs have already built a thriving civilization in my husk of a fortress.

Also, someone unrelated, will forbidden doors keep out hostiles that are able to open doors? (Elves versus racoons)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Challenges

Alright, how about we put out some challenges. I'm bored, and haven't really had much challenge so far. Just post anything you'd like to see built, done, or whatever else. Preferably something not requiring a crazy specific embark site (such as a lava shaft adjecant to a chasm), but normal features are fine.

I'll start: I've always wanted to see a huge tower that pumps water from a nearby source all the way up, then dropping it out to create waterfalls, preferably on all four sides. The whole thing has to be powered by either windmills on top, whaterwheels nearby, or a combination of the two. No dwarf power allowed.

Good luck  ;)

DF Gameplay Questions / Spike Traps
« on: April 17, 2009, 05:34:54 pm »
Ok, the wiki was rather unclear about this. Do spike traps do ANY damage to creatures that fall on them? I wasn't sure if "no (additional) damage" meant no damage in addition to what the trap normally does or in addition to the falling damage. If they don't do damage, then is there a way to actually have the spikes trigger when a critter falls on them?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Self-referenced mug?

What do you guys think of this mug?



I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems to show an image of itself, which would contain another image of itself containing an image of itself, etc.....all done in topaz.  ???
