DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Ultimate lava trap!
« on: January 21, 2010, 12:00:37 pm »
I finished! At last!
After 10 years of construction, several miscalculations, redesign, mistakes, it's finally completed!

And what is it exactly?
Well its a re-usable, fast cycling, lava trap, that leave behind only the metallic weapons and armor ready to be melted. Its large enough to allow caravans to come, long enough to trap ennemies easily, its the perfect fortress entrance!

Here come the links to the map and a video in use:
Map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-21036-thetrap
Video: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1931-theultimatelavatrap

Here are some numbers:
160 green glass pumps
161 service doors
36 gear assembly
63 water wheels (26 needed only, I went a little overkill on the powerplant)
104 iron grates
19 iron bridges
10 years of construction
8 deaths from accidental cave-in, lava, ambush and other mishaps.


If you have questions about it, I will gladly answer them.
Hope you enjoy it  :D

I have a strange bug with the orders. The last forge item in each order is never built.
For example, I asked for 30 silver battleaxe. 29 are forged, and then nothing... I reactivated the job cancellation messages, and saw this:

".. cancels Forge Silver battle axe: Needs refined coal."

Wich is stupid since I only have magma forges, and the 29 previous axes didnt asked for coal.
And this bug happen on any forge order I make.
