Bay 12 Games Forum

I haven't played 31.19 as yet, so I'm unfamiliar with what changes have been made so far.

Basically, destroy the rocks to get the ores they contain. This also gives the benefit of removing the excessive quantities (tens of thousands of units) of stone that we can get. Veins and pockets would essentially be higher concentrations of whatever ores that particular layer (can) contain.

Bumping to add a couple things.

Eggs, specifically their shells, should be added to the engraving workshop. The engraving workshop should have a new effect as well: chance of failure. Rookies will have an incredibly difficult time engraving fragile things without breaking them, while masters of the art will have incredible feats of beauty.

Also, bring in some of the elements of dwarven happiness. And make dwarven thoughts/feelings matter, too. Even if a dwarf is legendary, if they're goofballs and can't concentrate, they'll mess up more often. Especially in close proximity to loud and noisy places, like near a meeting hall or next to forges.

So, with eggs and grazing here, could we do something like taming a bronze colossus, feed it rocks and get bronze (eggs) out of it?

And create a grass that grows on a specific rock type? So, bronze colossus feeds on granite grass, lays bronze eggs?

Restart of DF.

Magma-safe cages will even protect their occupants from being submerged in magma.

That's not true in my experience. I've caught gobbos and dumped the cages into magma. Then, checking the units list (much, much) later, they're listed as deceased, not caught.

Old age? O.o

Doubt it, as I'm sure I saw smoke a time or two. I'll make a test run in my fort and report what happens.

I've had goblin corpses in my cages with no magma involved.  I think it happens when injured goblins die from their wounds while in captivity?

Gobbos had no injuries when I caught 'em. Like I said, I'll run a test and report back.

I'm curious about how cave spiders would behave, especially with their web-laying.

I could swear that you can turn off gravity for floors in the init files - atleast Lazynewbpack has an option for it.

d_init; Caveins setting.

Is it designated as a meeting room?
