I know recruits will fall off if they're sparring in a room that has no walls. Perhaps this was his issue.

Question on this topic: do launched objects become immune to temperature? What would happen launching lignite through a burning bin? Also, what about ballista bolts?

I'm also interested in the results of casting on top of constructed floors. If I mine out the obsidian, will that reveal the object used to create the construction, or will that item be removed from the game, or will it remain in my stocks screen as a ghost item?
Also, regarding the bridge scenario, will a cave-in occur if the cast obsidian is connected to a wall when it's created?

Unless I build an iron bridge on the bottom level, pour magma onto that, then cast it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Filling Bottomless Pit With Magma
« on: March 29, 2010, 09:37:21 pm »
Seeking input from players who have experience with using the bottomless pit as a magma reservoir. I'm playing on a map with a magma pipe and a bottomless pit, and I want to create a screw pump tower between the two that will create three multi-z level magma stores.
My main question revolves around the bottom of the pit. I think I remember someone talking about smoothing the pit's lower tiles to create a surface that will support magma. Does this need to be done using constructions, or can it be accomplished a different way? I'd rather not use constructions for this job if I can avoid it. Casting the magma is an option, since I have a river nearby, but that's gonna be a lot of effort.

No.
If you want to see what else your finder turned up, try adding extra filters like temperature, evil or rainfall.

Swap 1 with 4 and you'd be about right.

If you want a fast browser, get Chrome. Frankly, nobody should be using IE6 anymore. It's the new millennium, ffs.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Is this stealing?
« on: March 29, 2010, 06:18:54 am »
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Known bug. You're advised not to deconstruct the depot after the traders arrive. They track their wealth entering the map and compare it to their wealth leaving the map. Results showing positive gain result in positive relations, and negative gain will result in hostilities.

DF General Discussion / Re: WHAT WILL YOU DO?!?!
« on: March 29, 2010, 06:04:36 am »Anyway. Since the first release of DF2010 should be in the very near future (yet oh so far away)... will Dwarf Therapist be updated fairly quickly for it? Or has the creator of Dwarf Therapist perhaps lost interest in DF or become too busy to deal with DT?My fork of DT which uses DFHack will be updated very quickly after DF2010, as soon as we can get DFHack updated for the release. The main fork will not be updated unless chmod comes back to do it himself, which he may do at some point, I don't know.
My fork is available at Dwarf Therapist - DFHack, so check that for updates.

Not read it, so can't comment on the book itself.
As for your argument, it's the reason why there are so many organizations out there begging you for money to save the starving children in country X. Go ahead and adopt one if you feel the burning of your social conscience.

Reduce the amount of plants you're growing, or alternatively cook some booze to free up barrels.

Found this thanks to my RSS reader, but I'll throw my hat in for saying it's a fun way to spend an evening. I played this a few weeks ago, but sadly it lacks replayability.

Don't get your knickers in a knot. There's bound to be a crack for it a few weeks later.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Hammers in the new version?
« on: March 29, 2010, 05:36:38 am »
I would like to see weight increased by studding a weapon with lead. Lead studded steel war hammers would be quite nice. Better yet, have it menacing with spikes of blue metal.
