I suspect a watchtower would be the best use of a vampire. Do vampires avoid pathing into water as much as normal dwarves? If so, we could set up a system which would cause the vampire to flee into water at the sight of invader, activating a pressure plate and, through it, some of our defenses (the water is to prevent the pressure plate from being activated at other times).

Seeing as Toady is mostly working on the programming and not on the actual creatures, I think that at most we'll just get a few more tags to play around with.

It's under the filename, so it won't break the raws.

If I remember correctly, syndromes won't stack (a major issue for the DFscratch mod I'm contributing to), so giving them a single syndrome should stop them from being infected by others.

All of those routes seem like they would simulate things pretty well, but the problem is that creatures won't spawn at the top of the map, so you won't get attacked by alien monsters, an essential part of any space simulation.

I think we should try what was done by accident in Deatgate (1.0): dwarven vaccination by using a relatively harmless syndrome on all dwarves.

I vote for putting that miner into the military.

Sorry about that. I thought the OP changes were simply the same updates you had already given.

Anyway, looking at the map, it seems pretty impressive, although we clearly need better defenses. All creatures on the map can simply stroll into our center of operations (and in the case of goblins, slaughter us all).

I wonder what else I've not noticed/forgotten about this fort. Hopefully nosomething important. Anyway, how is the fort itself progressing?

I think there might be a simpler way to make an auto-resetting system: set up the system so pressurized water flows out of the bridge, over two pressure plates and then draining away, out of the chamber. Link one of the pressure plates to the bridge so it resets, the other to whatever you want to power. How long the "external" pressure plate is held down can then be adjusted by simply changing the distance the water has to travel to the "internal" pressure plate.

How to deal with the undead: take an area which is sealed off from them. Make a two-wide bridge add one end of the passage. Add a single bait creature under and behind the atomsmasher. Put the pressure plate on the second spot the bridge will smash. Add some cats or other creatures to tear the creatures too large to smash into smashable chunks. Open it up and let the creatures be drawn to the bait and then smashed.

I'd advise sealing the area with the spider in it off. That way you'll be capable of harvesting it's webs for silk using a bit of ingenuity (there are several pre-made designs for silk farms, which you can find on the wiki).

Best of all, with a bit of creative designing, you should be capable of making massive fortress complexes, spanning the entire map.

Dwarf4Explosive, as a marksdwarf, as he wished to be "the weakest of your military", armed with a set of iron armor and iron crossbow, purchased from humans the last summer.
Excellent. Are non-council members allowed to vote? If so, I am pro-squad leaders. I'd like my dorf to worship Datan, Dasel and Kidet.
