I need to see schematics of your GCS silk farm.
« on: April 09, 2012, 07:15:07 am »
Title says it all, show me your farms. I'm sick of dealing with Pig Tails.

Also, rather than having a hostile GCS, I have two Domesticated GCS and a couple cages of zombies. How would I make that work?

Also, can GCS fire silk down a z-level?

Looks pretty solid to me

Im sure the gcs can shoot a z-lvl but it would probably be easier to just have the gcs and bait in the same lvl like it is in this diagram

I watched a zombie dwarf tear off a girls dress and hit her with it so hard it became lodged in her skull.

It is much simpler than that. GCS do not need to have a valid path anymore in order to shoot webs. The following design works for me (34.07) with a hostile CGS. For a tame CGS add a second row of fortifications after the bait creature (and move the drawbridge up such that it blocks line of sight to the (hostile) bait creature).
Code: [Select]
  d       : bait creature which is hostile toward the CGS
╞════╡  : drawbridge, to block line of sight toward the CGS when collecting webs.
╔╬╬╬╬╗  : fortifications
║ S  ║  : CGS
╚════╝
