My first fort in v31 (I think it was .01 or .02) had one. Soooooo slow.
I haven't found one again.

Dem dorfs, man. Dem dorfs.
Looking forward to it. And how about getting on with some of those animals too?
(Mainly the big cats and their giant versions.)

I'm using the QI Book of General Ignorance as a source. I don't have it in front of me, but is states blackboard chalk is made out of gypsum. It might have been actual chalk in ancient times, but I think it would crumble too easily.
Wikipedia might be right for all I know.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Which version do you like more?
« on: October 18, 2010, 06:21:26 am »
Top one. Preferably out of a realistic stone (I'd say granite and marble are the best, chalk and gypsum the worst realism-wise).

« on: October 18, 2010, 06:18:19 am »With strict birth control (child ratio = 0) and restriction of total population (80 max) in my latest embarks, I have use for every immigrant. And I found it to be much more utilitarian to let the elves live so they can take their useless crap (and some of mine) with them, as opposed to burning them alive.
So alas, no more senseless killing for me. Except goblins, but y'know.. Asking for it and all that.
Every immigrant? Even the High Master Cheese Makers and Great Lye Makers?

In fact, that's because Toady started using period-appropriate numbers for bronze in the game, but he's still using the modern values for iron, copper and other metals.
Which means copper is better than bronze.

I'm using Mayday's in 31.12 because TTF isn't working. Once that's fixed, I'll move on.
I've tried vanilla, but it ends up distorted all the time and never looks right at fullscreen.

I'm thinking you should make an entire fortress built aroud the spire.
Like, a reversed version of the standard staircase-in-the-ground layout people use.

Chalk wasn't and isn't used as a writing tool. Gypsum is.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: 2 weapon ?'s
« on: October 16, 2010, 02:13:18 pm »...maces have 800 size and 20 contact area, while warhammers have 400 and 10. So maces are better.
Although arena testing shows warhammers to be better.
Actually, a smaller contact area is better. Weight distributed over a smaller area has more force. In other words, mace's 20 contact area is worse than warhammer's 10.
That's true, but all things being equal it is also double the total force. So, even though the psi is the same, there is more damage since more area is being hit. Of course, the trade off is that it hits less.
Someone should mod lead to be usable for weapons. Or the bedrock of the circus. THAT would be a hammer fit only for the strongest dwarves.
That... I'm going to have to figure out how to let all metals be usable now....
and oh god bedrock... a warhammer with a wt of...Code: [Select]400cm^3*200000g/cm^3=80,000,000g is about...oh dear god, that's EIGHTY EIGHT TONS.
Edit: silver hammers are 46 tons. Iron are 3 tons. O_o
Kilograms, not tonnes.
I think. Still heavy as hell.
