And would they? Deciding whether or not a cistern/well needs securing.

From the wiki: "The only buildings that will be spared by a building destroyer are wells, bridges, roads, traps (including levers and track stops), animal traps, chains, cages, stockpiles, and upright weapons."

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

I ask because brooks act like floorgrates. They might not actually be buildings; that same wiki doesn't list them as such.

I guess you will have to figure it out. My guess is no, they won't break the floor to get into the river to attack you. You are probably safe.

Brooks, for all intents and purposes, function exactly the same as a constructed or natural floor, and are therefore immune to building destroyers.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Figured as much. Thank you.

Except they allow fishing and water drainage, (supposedly).

This much I can confirm, magma and water will pass through brooks and Dwarves can drink through brooks. Never seen them fish though, so I can't confirm that.

Dwarfes fish brooks with no problem.

I am guessing brooks are also special in terms of building destroyers, they just ACT as floor grates, not actually ARE floor grates.

Oh they know. Spiders are not stupid. They've just got disproportionally huge balls.

Does this mean that a building buster will destroy supports?

Could one bring down an entire fortress with one swing of a hammer?

You all do know that we everytime we gen a world in DF, a new universe is created somewhere, and everytime we delete a save we kill a whole world?
Aye, we are Armok, god of blood, evil, villager gutting, fortress building, legend making and elf thongs.

Nup, supports are fine. This is supposed to avoid BD dropping floors on their heads.
