Dwarves and items get shuffled around in cave ins. There's a good chance the dwarf will get captured by the cage trap even if he pulls the lever himself.

Yes, I've just been trying to cage a dwarf deliberately, and when you're actively trying to do it it suddenly becomes difficult. First attempt, the dwarf flew up a z-level (since I built it outside), completely ignoring the trap room and getting slightly injured to boot.

But still, setting up the support and lever is enough of an annoyance that it's worth avoiding the chance of the dwarf falling on it.

heh, i can remember wanting to cage a bunch of champions so i could come back and free them in adventure mode. i thought i would stick them in a room full of traps till they fell asleep. turns out champions are like chuck norris, they never sleep. i had to keep dropping food and booze in through a hole in the roof to keep them from going crazy, and eventually one snapped, set the others off, and i got my caged champions only without legs and arms and unconcious. also, they dropped most of their adamantium gear as they grew unhappy, so all up it was an epic fail.

doing the cavein thing indoors is the easiest way, better to have the falling floor tile on the other side of fortifications. constructed floor works just as well as natural. very important to check whats underneath the falling bit. dont want to open high presure water or put a hole in the kings bedroom. also, its hilarious that the aparent solution to an unhappy armor smith is to knock him out with a cavein, cage him, then release him. only dwarves would think up such an unusual substitute for prozac...

I was under the impression that anyone who was starving and thirsty wasn't gonna sleep until passing out from dehydration. Thus it probably had little to do with your champions being bad motherfuckers.

[Cheshire Cat]

nah, i kept throwing food and booze in to keep them happy. when they get sad they start taking their armor off and dropping their weapons, and i wanted them to keep those. plus in another test i found they still tantrum before passing out from starvation or dehydration as well.

start churning cheap masterwork items like crazy. That way you will make their loss affordable

Why the fuck not?! My legendary cook makes them all the time and I have yet to see him complain about art defacement.

when mine get eatin he gets sad and usuly goes berzerk

[Jim Groovester]

Masterwork foods rotting causes art defacement. Eating masterwork food does not.

I suspect that may be the problem, not them being eaten.

Yep, rotting food makes crabby cooks.

aww can i sig that =D

[Peewee]

Sure you can.

At least legendary cooks tend to make a large amount of masterworks. So as long as you save the vast majority of the cook's creations, he/she/it/they shouldn't get too... violently destructive.
