Another, more research-intensive solution would be to design an entirely new type of car from the ground-up. As we've established, adamantine can be sharpened to a point so fine that it can casually cut through air. So, what you could do is have a car which isn't affect by either lift or downforce. This is entirely implausible if only because it would never, EVER be allowed on the road. Why wouldn't be on the road? Because it's too dwarven.

The adamantine battlecart strikes Goblin 1 in the left upper arm and the severed part sails off in an arc!

Works as intended.

Sorry to spoil everyone's fun, but Meph already invented the tracktrap, the spiked/bladed minecart, the slade minecart, etc. Still, yours looks cool too.
The slade bladed minecart?

This is a useful feature..and this is DF.. so im gonna assume its bugged
That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

No, he added slade as a metal. Hammercarttime!

I just had a horrifying idea; what if slade and adamantine are so paradoxical that thinking about it will cause it to vanish in a puff of logic! We must delete this thread now!

We must use this holy/unholy metal to destroy all inferior races.

I'll get the kobolds geared up.

Huh? Since when do we put addy into the thread title? Back in my day, we called it 'candy' so we could get those threads who had no idea what it was and lost their fort to it...

Third. almost hit, then the game crashes. When I re-open it, my fortress was... gone. The entire region file was missing from my DF folder.

That is just...

Words can not describe the awesome.

Has anyone retried this? Or have none survived to tell the tale? Do I Really want a answer?

The newbs would never comprehend the science going on in this thread. They will stay safe from safety.

Hm, theories on why adamantine + slade seems to kill the entire universe?

My theory is that the universe itself is trying to stop addy and slade combining via minecart crash, but why? What would be worth killing thousands of little Hs, Es and  :)s? I suspect that if we combined them both without crashing it, the multiverse would go puff, or possibly some sort of Dark God would be summoned, or perhaps the barriers between DF and reality would be smashed like glass, or all of the above in reverse order.

So, our world would become DF, Armok would be created, and the multiverse would go poof. But Armok would retain his saves when he rebooted the multiverse, and thus he'd play us again.

That sounds vaguely terrifying, If I could understand it, much like all else in this thread.

If we did that, the person in detail would find out the meaning of the entire universe, making its brain implode dramatically. Sadly, this means that they will be unable to post the result.  :(
