dead robot parts connot be dissambled, even if you stop them from getting buried with the rest of the robot.

Also, i cannot get my military crossbowmen to pick up bolts

[Deon]

Probably, I will look into int, Jedia

Bodyless:
1) Do they come from someone's pet, not just a stray robot?
2) Did you assign the bolts through the ammo menu and did you make them quivers? They work fine for me.

[Deon]

Okay, Bodyless. I just ran the test and they DO pick up the bolts.

But I had one case when they didn't. It's when my first crafted 100 bolts were assigned to hunters (it's set this way up by default). Go into (m)ilitary->(f)ammunition, and remove bolts from hunters. Check if it fixes that.

[Bodyless]

The robots are stray, but they always come with unique names, even if i buy them from traders.
also, about bolts: i already tried that, they will only pick up single bolts. but i also have some large stacks (more than 25 bolts) from immigrant hunters. looks like these may be to big to be carried.

[Deon]

No, you just did some errors in your ammo settings. My crossbowmen carry stacks of 25 and 50 easily.

There's a special wiki page on how to work with ammo. It's a bit confusing but not too hard.

[Bodyless]

well, they did pick up my produced iron bolts (25) stacks. so please give me an link to that wiki page as i cannot find anyhting on dwarffortresswiki.org

[TomiTapio]

I just embark with 15+ quivers, saves time. (4000pt worlds I roll).
Maybe the squads tips at: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Squads#Equipping_Soldiers
or http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Bolt

Guess I'll add after seeing [ITEM:7:BOX:NONE:PLANT_MAT:synth-reed:THREAD]
that medical crates give you pouches/bags-for-seeds. OH AND military crates giving quivers since they're required for shooting.

Edit: a hive looks like a stack of logs, change?

Edit2: [ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW_WAR] how does one make it? (attack bayonet)
Also, looks like need 100+ wooden bolt hits on a brahmin to kill it. Needs bit more penetration.

[Deon]

There: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Squad#Equipping_Soldiers
It says about shift-C and shift-T.

Wooden bolts are really bad unless you hit eyes/brain, it's supposed to be so. You shouldn't be able to kill a big two-headed cow with a couple pointy sticks. The bolts are balanced not to penetrate armor.

I mean, look at italian bull sports. They stick large IRON spikes in a bull, and he runs like nothing, just angry. What would happen if those were wooden spikes? Nothing.

[magikmw]

I mean, took at italian bull sports.

Ekhm, don't you mean spanish?

I'll try this mod out as soon as some time clears out. Looks great!

[Bodyless]

i dont see how that should help me, i had one squad with 250 assigned bolts for both combat and training and hunters had no ammo.

Anyway, is it a vanilla bug when i can get my soldiers to use a weapon AND 2 shields? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9153113/twoshields.png

(I accidently added 2 shields to the uniform)

[Deon]

Ekhm, don't you mean spanish?

Yep, I am late at home after concert after some wine and cognac, so I may say stupid things


Bodyless, where are the bolts which are NOT assigned? They should be in SOME list, check it.
And yes, it's a vanilla bug, along with others:

[Mrhappyface]

Why can't my gunners equip bullets?

[Lecksand]

Bit of a typo I noticed. Blanket Mire is misspelled as 'Blanked Mire'.

[Bodyless]

all my bolts are in my main stockpile and are listed under ammunition. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9153113/ammo.png

[Deon]

Why can't my gunners equip bullets?

Guys, send me your saves where this happens. I will tell you what are you doing wrong .
Make sure that you have quivers AND you assign those exact bullets to your gunners. Go into ammunition screen and see which bullets are assigned.

Bit of a typo I noticed. Blanket Mire is misspelled as 'Blanked Mire'.

Thank you, I will fix it. It's a looong lasting typo .

all my bolts are in my main stockpile and are listed under ammunition. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9153113/ammo.png

No, I mean show me the list of your assigned ammo. Not the stocks, the ammo screen.
