DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: ‼Science‼: Masterwork Wood vs Artifact Adamantine Menacing Spikes

I think I got an idea!
If we create 2 sets of upright spikes:
-one with 10 silver spikes
-one with 10 candy spikes
and connect them to a lever, would their ability to land a hit on an unarmed target be similar if not equal? If yes, do clowns count as unarmored targets?

This test only proves that luck is a factor when it comes to stabbing. If a spike hits a vital organ (brain, lung, heart) target will probably die right away. But if it hits a leg, hoof or something less critical the target will survive for another round, unless it bleeds out.
So, if you want to kill off unarmored cattle: save the candy, wood is enough.

About safety related issues regarding "dodge-it" traps:
- as Flare pointed out, drawbridges to avoid exploding dwarves
- you can link a Hatch to a pressure plate (triggered by dwarfs) in order to create a one way passage
- some lucky invader might get through, so make sure you got plan B
- make sure there are no enemy snipers near the trap while mining goblinit

Above posters pretty much got the subject covered, so I'll just leave this terrible drawing here and move on:

Damn you Urist!

I tried the glass meat grinder tactic once, better turn it to a dodge it trap. As Girlinhat pointed out, glass has almost no dmg, but you can mass produce it. Falling 2 or 3 levels on glass spikes will give better results IMO

Weird... Vermin can be tamed, but I don't think you can embark with them.
I picked a calm temperate area to embark and chose one of the presets for the dwarfsI assume l n p has some presets? Is it possible that one of them is bugged? Or maybe someone modded in surprise fire snakes on embark?

Hmmmm... the only way to get to the bottom of this is checking out your world and that specific embark. Upload your save somewhere and post the link here. I'll check it out as soon as I can.

So, it's not the old world gen bug in which the rain was so hot it melted faces...
and you didn't mod anything...
Did you see the fire start? Or did you notice it when it was 3 tiles away?

« on: September 07, 2011, 01:13:51 pm »Also, if a weapon gets stuck in the enemy, the second one can take over and the killing never stops
That is a good point, even if it doesn't happen often. Your legendary + 5 Axedorf means almost nothing without his axe.
