Kitten Crater
« on: August 02, 2009, 12:15:10 am »

I grew tired of my current fortress, so I pulled a lever:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I had a single square over a drawbridge where I kept all of my animals, suspended 13 z-levels above the ground.  At this point there were a total of 131 animals in there.  Needless to say, I was impressed with the the amount of limbs I got from it.  I even found a rear left horse leg 8 z-levels up.

Also, I have questions:

Were they caged?

If they weren't, how did you keep them there? Pit?

If they were, how did you drop the cage? Was the cage constructed or just an item?

Finally, if the cage fell, how did the explosion happen? Did the game just treat the cage as if it wasn't there and explode all the animals?

They were probably in a pit

If they were caged it would have had to have been attatched to a lever, suspended over a lever-operated support to cause a cave in.

I have this sort of farm set up in my current fort, Snaketributes.

Numerous animal types populate the farm, allowing for an endless supply of bones for my bonecrafters.

You should have put a trade depot next to the pit and pulled the lever when the human/elven caravan came around drenching them in blood.

If you dumped them into a closed fountain, I wonder how long it would have stayed red...

Next spring probably.
