[Sarda]

In another thread, I wondered what happens if you mod slade to show up outside the bottom layer, since in the bottom layer it is impossible to do anything to it, making modding it to be diggable useless.

What if you mod it to show up outside the bottom layer? Could you then mod it to be diggable and then make stuff out of it?

[Alkhemia]

maybe but it ungodly heavy

[Sarda]

That's kinda the point. It'd make excellent blunt weapons, and its density would make it nigh-invulnerable to most attacks, if I'm not wrong.

[krisslanza]

If I remember correctly, even if you mod slade to be diggable the game won't let you use it as it isn't coded to recognize it. Not to mention it weighs so much that you'd probably never manage to move it.

[Sarda]

It's magma-safe, so couldn't you use magma pistons or suchlike to move it?

[Girlinhat]

Magma pistons don't move material, only magma.  Well, the do move materials, but only directly down.

You CAN move slade, it's just that I think 1 cubic meter weighs around 14 metric tonnes, if I remember right.  Since dwarves can move anything, then yes, slade will eventually get hauled, but it may be one square per season at that weight.

[Sarda]

Hm. Wonder how to negate weight with dwarfen physics.

[Girlinhat]

Bigger dwarves, which then negates the value of slade as something heavy.

I've mined slate in vanilla, first by exploiting the downward stairs bug, then later because something apparently glitched and allowed me mine it directly.  It's mostly useless, and yeah it takes forever to haul (altho not nearly so bad as 1 a season, more like 10 percent of their normal hauling speed).  However, dwarves will happily pick it up for artifacts and to make rock short swords.

[SirAaronIII]

A bit late, but how about super-speed dwarves? Would that work to haul heavy stuff more quickly?

[LordBistian]

You could allways add

Code: [Select]

[ITEMS_WEAPON]
[ITEMS_WEAPON_RANGED]
[ITEMS_AMMO]
[ITEMS_DIGGER]
[ITEMS_ARMOR]
[ITEMS_ANVIL]
[ITEMS_HARD]
[ITEMS_METAL]
[ITEMS_BARRED]
[ITEMS_SCALED]
to slade.

Oh, and [IS_METAL] to the material.

So essentially, you get

Code: [Select]

[INORGANIC:SLADE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:slade][DISPLAY_COLOR:0:0:1][TILE:176]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'*']
[DEEP_SURFACE]
[ITEMS_WEAPON]
[ITEMS_WEAPON_RANGED]
[ITEMS_AMMO]
[ITEMS_DIGGER]
[ITEMS_ARMOR]
[ITEMS_ANVIL]
[ITEMS_HARD]
[ITEMS_METAL]
[ITEMS_BARRED]
[ITEMS_SCALED]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:0:0:1]
[SOLID_DENSITY:200000]
[IMPACT_YIELD:4000000]
[IMPACT_FRACTURE:5000000]
[IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[COMPRESSIVE_YIELD:4000000]
[COMPRESSIVE_FRACTURE:5000000]
[COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[TENSILE_YIELD:4000000]
[TENSILE_FRACTURE:5000000]
[TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[TORSION_YIELD:4000000]
[TORSION_FRACTURE:5000000]
[TORSION_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[SHEAR_YIELD:4000000]
[SHEAR_FRACTURE:5000000]
[SHEAR_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[BENDING_YIELD:4000000]
[BENDING_FRACTURE:5000000]
[BENDING_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:100]
[MAX_EDGE:1000] no swords until you can pick mats
[IS_STONE]
[IS_METAL]

I'm not sure if [IS_METAL] cancels [IS_STONE].
Requires testing. Have fun.

And [SPEED:0] Dwarves still require long time to haul slade.
