"gibbing"
« on: August 13, 2012, 10:15:20 pm »

Does it still exist in this version? In object test arena, my legendary striker/kicker/biter Giant Sperm Whale, that using DFHack has 5000 for all attributes could not gib a no-skills lowest attribute rabbit even when tail slapping it two tiles into a wall.

You mean falling apart when a creature is thrown? Yeah, but there has to be a gigantic size discrepancy. Try rabbit and colossus.

Giant Sperm Whale is the biggest creature in the game. I tried colossus earlier. Does it have to be a throw, or can it be "propelled by force of blow"?

The thing that gibs it tends to be the impact with the wall, not the throw/propelled by the force. Make sure that they are crashing into something and not just going flying.

seems you need to throw it against the wall to gain the full advantage of your size:

Throwing works better than propelling. Dropping long distances works better than throwing.

Just did more tests. A legendary wrestler BC with 5000 on all attributes could not gib a rabbit, as it could not throw it more than 20 tiles.

Yes. I then tested it with no walls around for 50 tiles, and it only threw 21-22 tiles. No gibbing, but the rabbit took fall damage.
