Glass weapons
« on: March 03, 2009, 10:23:37 pm »

Is the types of weapons creatable at a glass furnace hardcoded? I'm considering modding in additional glass weapons for a sand/magma fortress.

This is a Dwarven corpse. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of pathetic and menaces with spikes of fail.

Yes, but the wiki says only trap components.

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.

You could use the smelter reactions to create glass items. However, keep in mind that glass only does 50% of the damage of steel.

I don't really care about the damage-if I go ahead and set this fortress up, it'll probably be on my current (modded) version of DF, where bolts are already gimpy compared to vanilla DF. GLASS BLIZZARD AHOY
