FB silk is magmaproof by the way. I [MANDATE] a set for each of your military dwarfs.

I'd like to be able to filter out any webber clowns, maybe use the same trick on them, since their silk is supposedly anything-proof, and, if I'm not mistaken, worth a good deal of moolah to boot.

Yep, iirc clown webs are fire and magma proof at least, so you can create fancy diving suits for your nobles!

Only clown silk is fireproof and magmaproof, because of:
Code: [Select]
[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
 [MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10040]
 [HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
 [COLDDAM_POINT:NONE]
 [IGNITE_POINT:NONE]
at the end of their raws, after the web/silk material declarations. FBs don't have this, not even the FBs made of fire or snow.

Ahem.

Code: [Select]
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:[b]10040[/b]]

Won't that burn the weavers who gather and weave the cloth, the loom the cloth is gathered and woven in, the clothier shaping the cloth, AND anyone wearing the cloth?
...
Excellent export to the elves. Make sure you have a fireproof depot.

The first time i touched raws, [trying to add an extra set of eyes to test if i had a clue as to what i was doing] i gened a world to find everyone of every civ was an animal.

I dont know what i fucked with, but i had to download fresh after that.

You probably added an entry that had the same name as another one--e.g. two [CREATURE:TOAD] entries.

It's also possible (although unlikely) that your diagnoser is so unskilled that he is diagnosing cuts and such as rotten lungsa, and amputating them. That's happened before.

It wouldn't have been if I was running that fort. A legendary kobold weaponsmith who made an artifact adamantine sword? Sweet!

Do you mean when the wereape turns back into a human? I dont think it will turn back into a human if its a skeleton
It does turn back :D (undead version though)

Better yet: Any hands, arms, or heads will change into whole creatures, then change back into full...uh...creatures. Point is, cut it to bits and watch as up to three new were-critters grow from partial corpses! Repeat for an army of undead werethings! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Have you tried using large serrated discs?

And if all else fails:Magma.

Why not both? Magma-safe mechanisms, put 2 steel and 8 green glass large, serrated disks per trap, and add a magma-safe pressure plate near the end that fills the corridor with magma. Simple!

My weirdest DF-inspired dream involved me being transformed into a kobold who was somehow adopted by a dwarven fortress. I was engraving messages (hydra, elephant, lion, gigantic panda, flask, hydra...) onto the hallways, and eventually went into a weaponsmith mood somehow, making an awesome adamantine artifact sword. I don't remember how it ended, though.

Bucklers weigh less and don't protect as much

Not really, shields block any attack aimed anywhere, the difference is:

[ITEM_SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_SHIELD]
[NAME:shield:shields]
[ARMORLEVEL:2]
[BLOCKCHANCE:20]
[UPSTEP:2]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:4]

[ITEM_SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_BUCKLER]
[NAME:buckler:bucklers]
[ARMORLEVEL:1]
[BLOCKCHANCE:10]
[UPSTEP:1]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:2]

Bucklers have less of a chance to block than shields

Also, since MATERIAL_SIZE seems to be working again, bucklers cost less to make.

While you're at it, muscles on insects don't have any arteries and could use a specialised tissue. :)
While you're at it, bugs with any part thicker than around an inch (half an inch?) can't get enough oxygen to their innards, given how they "breathe." Point being, the bugs who this matters for aren't normal bugs anyways.

Soap shields wouldn't slow your dwarves down as much, though.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Wow. Migrant arrives with 313 Kills to her name
« on: March 10, 2012, 06:41:14 pm »
If it only killed animals, it isn't necessarily a vampire. It's probably a worldgen hunter of some sort. Vampires come with a metric crapload of trinkets made from the hair, bones, teeth, and nails of their kills. Their sentient kills, I might add. They won't drink the blood of non-sentients.

Maybe if you have at least one manager-type noble for each 10-20 dwarves, the job manager jobs would be approved automatically? And maybe, once we get bookkeeping knowledge to decay, multiple bookkeepers would make make it decay faster.

Hm. When I think dungeon master, I imagine someone who designs and builds deadly places to put prisoners and criminals. Beast taming? Neat. Death traps? Even better. And so forth. Maybe animal tamers tame the wild beasts, smiths ake the chains and weapons, mechanics make the traps, and the dungeon master helps make it all come together in a way fun for adventure mode and deadly for gobbos. Or something like that.

Just build a migrant deathtrap, collect the clothes, and sell them to the next caravan.

Or maybe set up a way to cage the migrants, and then sell THEM to the merchants. Or at least their corpses.
