Now that I think of it, do installed trap components improve the quality of a room? Forget about statues, my dining hall is going to be decorated with platinum circular saws!

(They shall menace with spikes of platinum, oh yes they shall.)

Well it certainly seems it ought to work as well or better than wooden trap components.

In the *old version* (pre 32a) of the game glass did 50% of the weapon's base damage (same as wood), but that might have changed.  Stands to reason, since Obsidian did 133% (same as Steel) and Obsidian is just the same thing as glass.  Weapon strength, I believe, is still waiting to be added - Obsidian will not be as strong as Steel though damage will still be similar.

Obsidian is not the same thing as artificially-produced glass. Obsidian can hold a MUCH sharper edge than glass, and is a bit stronger too. That said, green glass shards stuck in a baseball bat would still hurt like a sumbich, but I don't think they'd cleave through armor quite the same way obsidian would.

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

That's not a bug, that's just dwarves being dwarves...    :D

I also got the "needs 2 green glass bars" thing. Maybe there's some trick to selecting it I'm not getting...I can make them from any metal I have around, but not glass.

Funny thing about magic, it doesn't consistently go either way.

You know the new version is bugged when after the Dwarven caravan you just dropped two levels and completely submerged under water water isn't drowning, but dying of thirst.

You know the new version is bugged, when the dwarves drop what they are doing and run far away when there are monsters below a 500ft cliff who may or may not know of the dwarves' presence and have no way to get up to them anyway.

Not only that, the dwarves will try to pickup the dropped tasks but will then drop and runaway again.  And they will continue this routine for years to come because their fragile little minds can't comprehend the concept of safety - they can't tell if something is safe or not.
