This might be shouted down as exploity but here it is.

0000
0    0000000000
0     DSD
0000000000000L

The 0 is walls the L is the lever the D is doors and the S is the training spear 10 stack.

I found it stupid hard to get the subjects in a 1x1 danger room normaly as station orders are for the general vacenity and burrows are ignored quite alot.

So with this design you station your dorf in that room to the left but before he gets there you forbid both doors.

Use the "." frame at a time slow mo button.

Have the dorf wear "ANYTHING" over all the sections of its body and it will be fine. BABYS WILL DIE.

I also noticed my most recent subject didn't need food or drink much at all but did sleep alot.

I think drink and food might be somehow influenced by jobs,job difficulty,and amount of jobs.

Thats another thread intirely.

So basically you built a danger room that's a bit harder to manage? Cheapest version I know of is pretty much

Code: [Select]

OOO
OaO
ODO
OSO

a being armor/weapon stand for designated barrack over the S
D door with internal allowed but forbiddened
S being the upright spear trap toggled elsewhere

And no twiddly assignment except to have a squad train at the stand, and they'll all cram into the S

Huh, interesting. I'd been building 3x3 rooms with 2-3 training spears per square, and just ordering the squads to station in them - they seem to fit well enough. A door that can be forbidden when the squad is all in (and is always pet-impassible, but double check before pulling the lever as pets can sneak through when the door's open!) is more or less mandatory. Engraving the floors and walls with images of dying goblins and the militia commander making a commanding gesture is not mandatory, but still helps.

The quickest way to train stupidly skilled dwarves is:

    SSS
ADSSSD
    SSS

S =Spears
A = Armor/Weapon Rack
D = Doors
Set the door nearest the armor stand as internal, fill out the barracks, then forbid the door. By using 10 spears per trap, you will end up with Legendary dwarves within a month.

Can only train 9 dwarves as once, and you may end up with dwarves collapsing from exhaustion.
Simply station needed dwarves in there, or rotate them in and out through schedule.

Wow I never used a barrakcs designation.

Should make it slightly easier to get the dorfs in the room.

Also the design I use only works on one dorf,this might do more it looks like.

Will have to try that.

Pretty much this right here. I've never had problems with getting them all to fit in the room if I use a "protect burrow" command with a burrow that just includes the danger room.

And personally since I nerf my danger rooms by pressure plating them (as opposed to levers) I use double or triple doors at the entrance to provide some more pet blocking.

[zubb2]

Crap I forgot about the protect burrow.

I've never used it on anything but civies but it has a squad extension too dosen't it.

I can put a full squad in there now.

Normaly I have just one super soldier for my fort of; usualy only live to 70 but currently 40 ish.
