Wells do not need a room designated, just a water source zone, IIRC.

Ohhh. He went melancholy and refused to drink because he wanted to die.

Well, considering that everyone's done some mechanicing, that's not so unexplainable.

No ideas, but you should make this guy mayor and give him a legendary bedroom. He's the most dwarfiest dwarf I've ever heard of.

Anyone who passes out from their injuries will die. No buts. They are dead. D-E-D, dead.
If you run out of booze, everyone will die of thirst.
If you have no soil or sand, you're fucked.

Okay. So, I should just put in a 'wandering creature' zone around the depot, and a bypass door to make sure I get every last one of the buggers.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Humans leading goblin ambushes avoiding traps?
« on: May 12, 2009, 02:33:19 pm »
Well, I think it's a matter of the 'trap immunity' flag being attatched to the species rather than the civ.

Hmm. So, if the bridge is mounted in a long corridor, it still won't send them in the up direction instead of the other way?
Fuck.
Fuck.

That actually sounds like a decent challenge. Survive the initial hostility and wipe out the invaders to take their living space, as the entire point of the fort.
While still recieving migrants and caravans.

DF Gameplay Questions / Flow blockage queries.
« on: May 11, 2009, 10:42:05 pm »
I have a few questions, before I start serious work on the Elf Drowner ver. 2.
1. Do raised drawbridges block flow?
2. How long do drawbridges have to be to catapult occupants?
3. Do they catapult reliably in the direction of operation?
4. Will a raised drawbridge completely prevent movement through it?
In essence, I'm intending to use a raising bridge to cut off exit from my trade depot and cause the traders to drown to death. The previous system of floodgates had the issue of being blocked by animals standing on them, so I'm hoping I can catapult anyone standing on it into the depot itself, while stopping the water escaping so they can actually drown.

It's not rare in my forts. Every one I've run for more than a few years, I had two or three artifact mechanisms.
Of course, this is probably due to me considering it an unskilled labour job and simply jamming everyone on it because I want it done RIGHT THIS FUCKING SECOND BEFORE I RUN OUT.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Mist irrigation
« on: May 11, 2009, 10:04:02 pm »
Dwarves clean up blood and puke readily, but not mud. It's odd. A fort of mine has had a muddy staircase for a decade thanks to me screwing up the levers on the elf drowner and turning on the pumps before shutting the floodgates.

Sic the military on the buggers. Nothing like watching monkeys fly, propelled by a hammer, shedding limbs.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Minimum magma level for obsidian?
« on: May 11, 2009, 09:35:53 pm »
I think it was 2/7 or 3/7 that was the minimum on my obsidian farm, dumping between 2-3/7 water into it through channeling out a chunk of solid obsidian next to the magma. 1/7 water just flashed into steam, 1/7 magma didn't move and just evaporated.

Nuts. Deleted, regenned, re-embarked, dug the other side of the river.
No soil layer, so I'll have to piss around with irrigation.
