yeah i'm thinking about having some fun with war animal traps.

my two worst artifacts right now are a wood and a rock floodgate.  They have cool pictures on them though, and are buildable, so they aren't that useless.

I've also got an electrum pick, a dog leather backpack with a picture of the pick, a steel crown.

The best is an adamantine short sword decorated with obsidian and some kind of exotic leather, and bears an image of itself on it.  It is worth over 800k dwarf bucks.  Interesting to note, the weaponsmith grabbed some crappy rock blocks as his first item, which i promptly forbid.  He then grabbed some adamantine and later for his rock block requirement grabbed obsidian.  I wonder to what extent i influenced the creation of the artifact by forbidding the first item after he'd brought it to the forge.

This topic should have been titled "How do I collected webs?".

Why would you have him use improper grammar?

he's under the impression that its some kind of internet joke.

Speed of magma death needs to be checked out.  My adventurer was getting stomped by a zombie elephant in a pool of magma recently.  I had really good armor, but between the drowning and the bleeding I still seemed to survive several rounds of stunning and standing up and getting knocked over repeatedly.  Still, I would like to try this on some small scale to test the concept.  Also continuous flow stuff is bad for fps right?  Still this might be a great way to off prisoners.

  Do I have to have the splint actually in the hospital? I have bonesetting turned on for many of my dwarves, but none have any skill at it, so there she lays, arm healing at funny angles wondering why no one will help her.

I don't know if the splint has to be in the hospital, but i think it would help.  just build a ton of coffers in the hospital and make sure you have haulers available, it will get stocked with splints eventually.  As for cast powder, it isn't always necessary, splints work fine.  I have one dwarf stuck in an infinite surgery loop, but i have no idea how to reinjure him.  removing the bed hasn't helped, since he's still pretty messed up.

change the keybinding then.

i think that making sure you have enough haulers and that your record keeper is on top of things makes a huge difference in making dwarves equip stuff

don't use training weapons.  Ever.  Then select the training weapons to be dumped.  I've read this doesn't work on your military commander, so if he gets too many weapons you have to disband the whole squad and remove him as commander for him to drop his stuff.
