Construction Removal speed
« on: August 22, 2012, 08:43:57 pm »
Does anybody know what factors affect the speed at which a construction is removed?  I positioned a large wall improperly, and am surprised by just how long it's taking to get rid of it.  For some reason it takes longer to tear down a wall than it does to build it in the first place.  Dwarven engineering, eh?

Is there a particular skill or job set dedicated to removing constructions?  I haven't found any labor for it, and children seem to do it as well as a proficient mason.

Toughen Dwarves by dropping stuff on them.  (Nothing too heavy though, and make sure to wear armor.)

Yep, it takes longer. I guess because there's no skill associated with it. But it seems to vary according to something - i guess attributes.

I recall testing this back in 40d, and I believe that it was based entirely on the Agility of the dwarf doing the deconstruction.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Deconstruction speed should be based on artistic skill.

Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.
