Is there a way to weaken or delete cage trap ?
« on: August 04, 2017, 01:10:30 pm »
Hi everyone,
An other silly question,
Is there a way by modding DF to prevent cage trap to be perfect or, if not possible, to prevent the construction of cage trap.

Of course i have seen that there is the [GNAWER] token, but it could be really NOT FUN to add it to each creature, and as far as i understand its working it simply made wood useless and metal 100% effective... which is saaaad...

I imagine that a script that run each X tick on Dfhack to apply some evasion formula to the prisonners could also be made but not sure about that...

If you have ideas, i take ;)

How about not making cage traps? Just a thought.

Haaa, the classic game of "question-answer"

"The game have a limitation, i want to remove it, how ?"
"Plz limit yourself"

Classiv on every modding forum, and not relevant at all sorry. ^^
What i want in first place is to weaken cage trap, just a question to know if there is any way to achieve this or not.
If not i prefer delete it to the list of the construction. I know this seems to be feasable (seems to have a package with dinosaure which has no cage trap) but don't know how.
If someone have an idea.

And no i don't want to resist to the tentation of mass cagetraping every tick of my game by limiting myself, it's pretty anoying. Yes, maybe i'my weak :p

That really is the answer though, the only time I ever use them is when my biome has something like giant tigers or rhinos coming through. My defense is usually a wall of steel, beards, and dogs and it works just fine.

You can remove [metal_pref], if the wiki's accurate, that'll remove metal cages. Leaving you with just wooden ones to work on those gnawing prisoners you mentioned.

Gnawer doesnt work on anything other than vermin. Sorry, your only way is to ignore them.
