Yo - new artifact decorations are here
« on: May 03, 2023, 12:42:06 am »

GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD!

ANTLER!

As of 50.08 new stuff appears to be in.

Can you imagine trying to aim a crossbow that has like two entire bull moose antlers strapped to the sides of it?
How much would that even weigh?

But you could decorate with horn before. Or can you now specify antler or am I missing something?

Sure, but this is an artifact. Since when are artifacts decorated with antler?

Still looking for feathers though.

Ah, not sure about worldgen artifacts if that used to happen.

You post an image artifact with antler decorations, and I'll toss my best favorite armorsmith dwarf at my longest running fort into a volcano.

It's a deal then! :P

With a quick glance in a 0.47.05 world's legends, among the first ten artifacts there's a sword decorated with a horn image.



I'd assume if horn is possible, so should antler. Now, only to find that antler artifact...

...Aaand a few seconds later, from the same Legends and world gen artifact list:



“On the item is an image of figurines in elk bird antler.

Prepare to say goodbye to your best armorsmith, Mister Dikbut! :D

I. Wha. What. But. I. NOOOO!

Right, because world gen artifacts don't follow the same ruleset as in game artifacts, hence why you get earrings made of out sand on occasion. Okay, OKAY! Hold on. I'll get a a screen cap of this.

Last time I lost a bet like this I lost my weaponsmith. I suspected silk weapon artifacts might be able to convert their absurdly high shear yield into crazy bugged-out overflow blunt damage. Sadly that did not work.

Yeah, yeah... I told em' we were going to "entertain people."

Dragged them out to my fallen volcano fort, and dun did em the ugly.

I wanted to do it quick, but the first attempt actually failed, as they evidently bounced on the lava.
It ended up being a whole thing.

That was my only armor smith too! We evidently have 5 weapon smiths.  ::)

Pfft, somebody mark this thread for deletion.

"Tobul skips across the lava!"

Lol.

Well, that was entertaining.

Rest In Peace Tobul, for the mistake made by dikbutdagrate.

(Also, of course you would have a sperm whale man who is a night stalker. Of course.)
