Some dwarf went crazy early and wanted to build something with "rock blocks." Knowing of that bug, I quickly built him a magma forge and a magma smelter, smelting one galena ore for a bar of lead. Luckily this was fast enough before he went totally insane, but he created some named lead battleaxe. Is that crap?

I tried "remove construction", but it didn't work on the downward stairs.
Are you removing them from the right z-level? Are you sure they're constructed? You can try channeling down or building something else over them.

Depends on your map. Some maps are deeper than others. I've seen magma on level 20 and on level 120. I'd say you'll see it 20-30 levels up from the bottom of the world.

How do I delete early save games? I get lots of files and a big file size by year 5 and it only gets bigger. It's also hard to find which one is the latest.

Require one mechanism to build, and will automatically be loaded, provided you have an empty cage (can be made out of wood, metal, or glass*) for your mechanic to load it with. Will catch any unit without fail, but can only catch one before needing to be reloaded. Build enough of them and watch as sieges become your helpless toys. Build the cages somewhere (b-j), preferably in an arena, mass-dump (d-b-d) over the cages (to strip the goblins of their weapons and armor), link them all to a single lever, station your military near the cages and pull the lever. Your goblins are ready to die.
*Glass cages are called terrariums. They're still cages.
Can I release them one at a time? I want my dwarves to have a challenge. Maybe a little one-on-one?

How can I trap invaders? I want to drop them down into a pit where I can send my guys to finish them off and not have them run away. Is a retracting bridge the best way to do this? Maybe a set of large retracting bridges? How can I lure them there?

Can one guy in full adamantine take on 5 goblins at once?

« on: September 12, 2010, 10:35:54 pm »Confirmed. Mining adamantine is guaranteed to leave behind a stone.As far as I know, adamantine functions just like any other rock/ore. It might be different, but I've never heard of it before.In 40d adamantine tiles would always leave raw adamantine rock when mined regardless of the skill of the miner. AFAIK this has not changed in 31.
How much stronger is it than steel if I make it into armor?

Can I potentially lose an adamantine ore if an unskilled miner digs it?
