Found a nice slade quarry full of undead penguin people. It's still inaccessible to my fort, so I can take my time making sure the dorfs don't starve or something, then go all out at it. The time of ‼SCIENCE‼ is almost upon us.

Also, it's unfortunate that we can't use slade to make chains or something, it'd make the perfect prison material...

I can see the ending...

1) turn off cave-ins
2) build a floor around that nasty hole and make the slade tower unstable
3) turn cave-ins back on
4) ???
5) profit!

I can see it now...

Urist McDeathwish has created painhauling, a slade anvil!
All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. The object menaces with spikes of slade and encircled with bands of slade. On the object is an image of painhauling, the slade anvil in slade. The image relates to the creation of painhauling, the slade anvil by Urist McDeathwish. On the object is an image of socks in slade.

They're most definitely quite useful as bait - imagine the unfortunate Kobold thief who finds that small, shiny object.

The question is thus: would you like to have a hand in my...groundbreaking... research into the uses and potential of slade? All you require is a Curious Underground Structure from which to harvest the necessary materials.

Although, imagine (if there was a realistic weightlifting system) how hard it would be to throw a slade anything... even for a dwarf.

Observe my master ‼philosophy‼:
Spoiler: What Dwarves give a shit about (click to show/hide)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Looking at the Ethics, I remember the what makes a Dorf a Dorf thread. And I just realise - If we were Dorfs, the Dorfs would kill us for being Ethically incorrect :|

Not just Bay 12, the entire human race would be cruel in their eyes... Scary idea...

Both happen with humans.

Actually, if you remember, sometimes [ETHIC:TORTURE_FOR_FUN] happens every once in a while as well.

Physics really doesn't apply to DF does it?

It does, it's just that Dwarf logic dictates that "what you don't know can't hurt you" meaning that as long as they don't realize something is impossible, dwarves can do anything.

Oh, that's easy, assuming you find a curious underground structure. All you have to do is ramp up from under it. Depending on your miner(s) skill level(s), you get slade boulders just like when you tunnel through other stones.

Compared to other necros, this barely counts, but I'll be back to testing slade in a new fortress.
Just so you all know.

QUESTION! can we butcher elves? :D
You can mod the raws to do so. Also, you'll hear it on every forum ever, but double posting =/= a good thing.
If I need to bump a thread, I usually delete my last post and repost it (if the forum allows deleting) and that'll usually work pretty well.

Look on the bright side, in 20-30 years all of the Goblins/Elves that get stabbed with it will die of lead poisoning, and all of their children will be born severely handicapped.

I had been doing research into slade as a usable material before I took my hiatus (which is what I just now realized I've been doing since break started), and I found it works as a mason workshop material, so you can at least make miscellaneous object users happy with it.

Have a baby punch it, or something. It should fall apart pretty easily.
