Titan poison
« on: November 23, 2013, 06:26:06 pm »
Hey all.  Still sort of newish and could use a little help.

A Brush Titan with a poisonous bite came to my fort and created a little havoc.  One of his achievements was biting and poisoning a llama, which he later killed.  This fight happened to occur right along the edges of the pond I have designated as a water source and llama teeth and blood splatterings can now be seen at the bottom of the pool.  Does this mean that that pond is now poisoned also?  I do not believe the actual corpse was ever in the pond, if that matters, but I'm not 100% sure, as I can not seem to locate it anywhere.

If this pond is now poisoned, should I floor it over or something to be safe, or will simply deleting that water source zone and creating a new one elsewhere, work just fine?

Well, if you don't see any FB/titan extract in the pool, it should be safe. Not sure if the pool is contaminated anyway due to llama blood.

Ok, thanks.

They are drinking alcohol, but the Titan left me with some injuries and I don't have a well complete yet.  The way I understand it is my dwarfs will now be taking water from my possibly poisoned pool, and both feeding and cleaning my injured dwarfs with it?

I'm very sure that the pool isn't poisoned, but it might be contaminated anyway because of the blood.

Great, thanks.  And the wiki says contaminants have been disabled in 2012...this is true?

You might be thinking of contaminant spread?

Maybe.  I'm reading this:

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Contaminant

It is kind of unclear.  The way I read that is due to the buggy nature of contaminant spread, contaminants have been disabled completely?

Yeah, its referring to the tracking/spreading feature of it.

If you pump the water though a screw pump, only pure water is pumped through and contamination is left behind - if you're unsure, you can use a screw pump as a filter. For the amount you'll use you probably can use dorfpower for it rather than fancy mechanisms.

Oh, I haven't messed with screw pumps yet.  Good idea, thank you very much.
