elephants are typically friendly for me...but then again I also play with them modded as domestic creatures...with one hundred tusks and 10000% the mass ;)

Time to test both of these...FOR !!SCIENCE!! (I have decided the pit should be steel spikes, magma safe everything, and flooded with magma. :D)

...Where did radioactive lead come into this???  I was talking about leads ability to block most radiation. (excluding neutrinos. ;))

The point of his system is the pure low cost of it.  you only need mechanisms and hatches (and a water source) for it to work.  While weapon traps would be very effective, you need to make a lot of metal or glass components which takes time and resources.  (or use stonefalls.  but will those lead to dodging off the ledge?)

OP, no offense but your system is incredibly overcomplicated and likely won't work the way you want it to. Have you actually built this?

Hmmmm....you seem to be under the impression that overcomplicated is bad... :P

...or a ten z level fall with green glass menacing spikes below...hooked to a repeater just in case.  8)

But seriously that is a really nice design for a trapped entrance...but why the 3 tile entrance?  Just stick with a 1 tile wide entrance that forks twice.  And I would use this as the "back door" to my fort so that my dwarves could run in and out of a five tile wide entrance that seals off the moment an enemy is detected.

He was commenting on how you want tons of lead.  Lead blocks radiation pretty effectively and I assume there must be some pitchblende in the fort somewhere...I WANT A PITCHBLENDE ROOM! :D

oh yes they are...them or prepared meals...(if you mod elephants to have fast growing children and multiple litters food ceases to be an issue if you embark in elephant territory 8))

EDIT:  There is no such thing as too much booze.  Remember that...

I suggest volcanoes.  embarking near one lets you get glass industry going...(this is how i survive.  selling glass sawblades.  that and selling elephant and quarry bush and syrup roasts ;) )

or if you use each plot for specific crops (i have one quarcaine plot, two sugar pod plots, a rope reed plot, the pods double as wheat in the fall, a longland plot, and everything underground is ph in the winter.)  but i always make plots as large as possible (usually a 10x10) just because it is easy.  my farmers never seem to plant enough crops or harvest the crops in them :(  how many farmers should I have for the equivalent of 500 farm squares?

yeah...what i want to know is how to get my farmers to produce enough booze for 93 dwarves...they seem to neglect growing booze crops in favor of babying the quarry bush plot.... ::)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Yet another mist generator! (now with 4x the mist!)
« on: September 10, 2010, 09:47:12 pm »
that was on a version that was at least as new as 31.8...the mist was not consistently formed but as the magma rolled down a mountain side (ramps) it generated pockets of mist.

Hmmmmmm...Bismuth bronze is more resistant to corrosion... (IRL) forgotten beast ichor containment suits anyone? :D

And I would love it if the metallurgy were expanded...Imagine getting a Blast furnace which requires massive amounts of coal (or be submerged in magma.  Think magma forge, but dwarfier) to fire and processes obscene amounts of ore at a time (ie, 100 ore required to fire.  you must have the actual percentage (number at 100) of ores to forge specific alloys...that would be so overly complicated and require so much micromanagement...)

It is exactly the same?  I remember reading that adding the bismuth bumps it up a bit...:/
