DF General Discussion / BUG/EXPLOIT roads
« on: August 20, 2006, 06:11:00 pm »
I had noticed that sometimes my road would get the pluses extending into the distance signifying its connection regardless of its completion, so I decided to test my theory.

I bridged the river, detailed all of the stone patches, and then queued the construction of the road. I suspended construction on all sections, and I didn't have the connection. I unsuspended the one section farthest to the left and, sure enough, a connection was made and when the caravan came, the wagons came with it.

So this is definitely a bit of an exploit, and something that should be remedied at some point.

Love the game! Good luck making it better like I know you will!  :)

I actually tend to hit silver very early, too. You're going to rue it more than likely, because although silver crafts sure are pretty, and it is a type of currency, it's a bit limited in practical application. You can forge most weapons out of it-- but not picks. And no armor or siege components. So enjoy your wealth, but you'd probably be happier with copper.

(My most recent fortress has actually only found sphalerite west of the underground river, and has yet to find anything east of it. And sphalerite isn't even refinable without malachite [copper ore].)
