DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Lame artifacts!
« on: December 06, 2010, 06:33:51 pm »
Scratch what I said earlier. I have a new lamest artifact. My bone carver claimed a craftsdwarf's workshop, and gathered a bunch of materials. Exactly what most of them were, I am not sure, but the finished product was a horse bone amulet... stupid glitch

I mean the obsidian shortswords... the kind you can make at a craftsdwarf's warkshop.

I like aquifers if I lack another source of infinite water.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: A Newbie's Fey Mood: A Magma Accelerator
« on: December 04, 2010, 11:05:55 pm »I may not understand the principles you're using here properly, but I have some questions about the linear-pump accelerator:
- If Pump A drains 7 units of magma from one tile at its entrance and pushes it to the single tile separating it and Pump B, wouldn't it need to appear in the tile momentarily before getting sucked into Pump B?
- If Pump B was accelerating that same unit of magma to a speed (?) higher than it was at when it exited Pump A, wouldn't there be an instant where there was not enough magma to fill Pump B's chute? (see the Moses Effect)
- How would Pump B accelerate that magma to a speed higher than Pump A did -- would the magma essentially be "in motion" for the instant it was occupying the tile between A and B, and the mere fact that Pump B was active when the magma hit it would clue the game to flag the magma exiting Pump B as moving faster than the tile of magma that the pump took in?
You know what this means? Magma machine gun!

« on: December 03, 2010, 09:25:37 pm »
Make sure it is never exposed to the light, ever. If a tile has ever been exposed to the light, it will be light forever.

Doesn't smoothing the floor also keep things from growing? Then you could engrave it too.

I'd set my military training barracks to just inside the entrance of my fort. If the thieves want to get in or out, they have to go through your military.

No. An item which is product of a strange mood is of the highest possible quality for the materials it is made of. However, the highest quality copper armor is still nowhere near as sturdy as the lowest quality steel armor, and probably not as good as even bronze or iron.
