Migrants with animals
« on: June 13, 2009, 02:43:37 pm »
I hate every last one of them, I have nothing against migrants but when they bring their pets I start ripping off my hair. It makes my fort look so ugly and slow.

It also dosen't help that my meeting room is 1x2, the resulting tantrum spiral would be enough to kill an army of titans should I decide to butcher the pets.

Any ideas on how I could remove pets from the equation? I'm open to all suggestions.

If you make coffins for the pets and kill them, then the dwarves shouldn't tantrum too much. I haven't had problems when a pet or two has died by accident in my fortress, just try and give them enough happy thoughts to counteract it.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

You could also do something fun involving organs in the raws

Well I was hoping for some information to actually remove animals arriving with dwarves.

I would normally have no problem killing a few animals, but when there are raids I tend to forget to forbid movement outside >.>

Dig a path above the meeting room  and channel an opening for the liquid hot death to pour through, take all the important dwarves out of course and leave all the others in....

Military dorfs are the busiest if their partner is also in the military, Military children are my forts future, also its hilariously tragic when a mother carrying her child into battle gets hit, and the baby dies....
I fixed that up for you.

Can you just put your meeting area behind a door only pets can go through with an atom smasher in it? I've never tried that.

pets can't go through a locked door but you could use this tip:

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Aaah, the ol' pet killing corridor.

XXXXXXXXX
DIDIDIDIDIDL
XXXXXXXXX

D: Door
I: Spike
X: Wall
L: Lever

Make it so the pets can open the doors, have the owner walk through. His pet might make it past the first or second door before they close. Then just pull the lever, and tadah! Pet parts everywhere!

Repeater spike hallway (Restricted) leading directly to meeting area + side corridors (High traffic) = Profit!
