DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Steel - should I start making it?
« on: August 15, 2011, 09:30:44 pm »
In a word, yes.
In some more words, steel is the second-best metal for almost everything military, the one exception being blunt weapons. Steel is the best material for edged weapons (swords, axes, spears, etc) and armor, both of which are nigh-vital for military. Copper makes somewhat better shields, silver makes much better hammers, and there is a blue metal sometimes found deep underground that is far lighter, harder, and sharper than even steel, but if you can make steel, don't settle for iron.

Why is it always yaks? A yak was dropped into a volcano and discovered cotton candy. A yak took the "un" out of "undead" and became the most badass livestock EVER in the process. A horse or cow or something NEVER does this kind of stuff. Not even piglets pastured near cave spiders do anything!

I have never seen any magma creatures other than passive magma crabs who don't seem to care if I mine a couple of holes into their ceiling.

SWEET!
Does adding additional metals change it, or only stuff you dig up?

Bear in mind, thread (like adamantine strands) is counted in tiny fractions of what you need for one wafer.

DF Suggestions / Re: Unsurprising, unobstructing underground. (unmarked spoilers)
« on: August 15, 2011, 08:31:33 pm »
A start would be having big, open caverns with pillars and such rarely more than 2 tiles in any dimension, requiring at least a little masonry to breach. Better still would be having tapering stalagmites and stalactites instead of even pillars. However, the main issue as I see it is that players can easily block off whatever, so burrowing creatures and wall-destroyers would also be useful. Magma creatures should actually do more than ba magma crabs swimming about and eating up framerate, they should spit basalt or breathe flames or whatever at me. Magma pressure is also a good idea.
As to adamantine? I have never found it.

Has anyone determined if duplicating certain entries or types of entries causes different LSD-comparable results?

Yes. Shield material currently does nothing but altering shield bashes, for which copper is better than iron. Plus, masterwork. Shiny.

No. They are listed as siblings and so cannot become friends (yet another way DF reflects reality), and so cannot become lovers and so cannot become married.
Also, eww. Dwarves may butcher kittens for armor, bolts, and cooking, and cut down trees just to spite elves, but they are FIRMLY against incest.
