DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Burying limbs of a living dwarf
« on: January 12, 2016, 02:12:32 pm »
My mason had a tussle with the reanimated corpse of a gorlak. The military got there in time to rescue him but not, alas his hand. He got dragged away to the hospital, the bleeding stump sewn up and his wounds tended to. He may die of infection, he may live, time will tell. In the meantime, what do i do with his hand? I can dump it in magma, but if i do that will he be properly entombed if when he does die, or will i have to slab him as well? Alternatively i can stick it in an out of the way refuse pile and disinter it when the inevitable occurs?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Taming baby animals
« on: December 17, 2015, 07:05:14 am »
Since time immemorial i've had a giant bat farm. They're the size of grizzly bears, moderately lethal and they wander into my cavern cage traps on a tediously frequent basis. I sort the babies from the adults and i assign them any trainer so that the next generation is domesticated. The problem is this: the trainers (i have about 6) take forever to get round to taming them, sometimes longer than the childhood of the bat. Often the trainers will idle instead of taming the babies, and taming them seems a very low priority job. Is there any way i can expedite training?

DF General Discussion / Arena Mode z-levels
« on: November 23, 2015, 10:23:14 am »
In my fortress I constructed a 15z level tower with a platinum floor. As corpses seem to take an eternity to decay into bones, and my dorfs are a little chary about butchering the various trolls and troglodytes that wander into my cavern traps, i sought to expedite the matter with a long drop and an explosive stop. However, 15 levels onto platinum doesn't seem enough to explode trolls and trogs. Therefore, I took to arena mode to do some !!SCIENCE!! on how high a fall needs to be to explode various sentient creatures, but the 9 z levels available in the arena do not give me sufficient range. Is it possible to alter the raws to get a object testing arena with more z levels of sky?
