What color should the chandelier be?
« on: September 06, 2010, 02:18:05 pm »

Since clear glass just isn't voluble enough, I'm going to make it out of diamond windows, but I cant seem to trade for clear diamonds. I've been trading for all the colors of diamonds for my other projects form the dwarves, but never gotten the option for clear.
The colors I have available are black, red, green, blue, yellow, faint yellow, light yellow.
Ideas?

Faint yellow for the "lights", black for the rest?

No, make the lights out of black and have a laser tag tournament under the black light.

What would the lasers be? Bolts encrusted with red or blue diamonds?

Multiple magma cannons firing at each other.

No, mod in a magma -> magma bolts reaction.

IIRC, 'overkill' is not a concept that exists in the dwarven psyche.

I don't think magma is treated as a real workable item as of yet, so that first thing would be really hard to mod in, I think.

A normal ballista does damage by piercing with overlarge arrows, a dwarven ballista does damage by crushing with entire trees.

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.
