Early morning math YAY!

It just means the point you were making is 49 times more impressive :)
In that case, minecarts should go at approximately Warp 3.
Which version are you talking about? It differs between the series.

NOPE, Minecraft has red stuff which creates power, and music boxes, and minecarts.

We have Pitchblende. It's only a matter of time before someone mods in Yellowcake to run a steam generator.

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

The way I see this, dwarves are about to stop talking to each other altogether and can get away with being completely sealed off.

I support this idea completely. The new model for dwarves' lives will be:

  • Age 0: Born in fort to random migrant.
  • Age 1: unceremoniously dumped into a 1x2 pit full of dogs. [Grr! I'm your new mommy now!]
  • Age 12: any survivors are assigned a profession and moved to a 3x5 room containing a workshop, bed, table, chair, food stockpile. All interaction with the outside world takes place via carts that arrive to give raw materials and take away finished products.
  • Age ??: natural death from starvation/failed mood/FB syndrome/goblin invasion/drowning/burning/accidental cave-in/ghost dismemberment.

This way most dwarves can be allowed to go through their entire natural lives under total automation without ever laying eyes on another dwarf after age 1. This will also work for familyless migrants.

The only exceptions will be the miners and the service dwarves who maintain the tracks and haul away corpses.

This setup should prevent dwarves from getting into too much trouble, provided that tantruming dwarves aren't able to destroy the minecarts and screw everything up, and assuming that you can run a minecart track into a room while still keeping the room completely sealed off from the outside world.

WEEEE MINECAAARTS. With happiness modifiers and chance of terrifying vicious death!

Ofcourse, this does mean that to actually makes this useful the game'd need slower hauling (as mentioned) but vertical travel is now just as fast and tiring as horizontal travelling whilst it should be respectively less and more. If that would be implemented there'd be more of a point of laying tracks for minecarts or else you could still just send a dwarf down with a bin to carry it up the seemingly-never-ending staircase.

And if that climbing speed is altered then it would be fun if you could make a sort of elevator/block and tackle device to haul stuff up faster.

Does anyone read my posts anymore or do people just latch on to a random scrap of text?

What "wat"? Read the bloody post, get a brain, think about what I said.

Or, for your convenience: I'm not talking about revamped picking-shit-up-hauling with bins, I'm talking about serious boulder-hauling, dagnabbit!

In minecraft you can carry 4.5 million kg without slowing you down. We can safely apply the same logic to DF.
