2 questions here. My legendary stone crafter keeps churning out masterwork obsidian swords. Would it be safe to give these to the military or put them into weapon traps, or should I leave them alone so he doesn't freak out?

Also, just how do I make a zoo or aquarium? I caught a neat little firefly and tried to put him in the cage I built in my zoo area. but th eonly animals that came up on my list were my horses and dogs. I don't want a petting zoo.

Obsidian does as much damage as steel 133%, so its useful for everything, weapon traps OR military.

I'm not sure you can put small creatures in cages, instead tame it and give it as a pet. An aquarium uses a glass cage (terranium) instead. A pond is a channel re-assigned..

You can put small creatures on terraniums

It's perfectly fine to use stone swords in traps as they can't break there. Be careful with military and only give them to people who don't go near magma/demons often.

Ahh. I see. Unfortunately my map has absolutely zero creatures. No cougars or macaques for my zoo. Maybe I can request some. Untamed wilds in a temperate zone. Go figure.

^^^ If it's a swamp or marsh or bog or whatever, they are bugged to sometimes have no creatures or something ^^^

Who puts small creatures in zoos? I just eat them in adventure mode. Fairies have a surprisingly strong flavor, and their blood tastes like cherry coke!

Eventually, Toady has said that Obsidian weapons will break over time with use, but weapon degradation in this manner is not currently in the game, and as such, it's simply and for all practical purposes a more plentiful version of steel that you just have to use a bit of wood with.
