Adamantine Minecart == Boat?

That's a great question! Putting it to FotF as we speak.

My dwarf worships the goddess of suicide. This can only bode well.

I'm going to have to revisit my shooting whales with ballistae fort to test this, aren't I?

Hell yeah, water surface anti-mermaid torpedoes.

More than perpetual, exponential....

Im thinking Dwarven earthquake machines....
(well actually it would be more of a shockwave generator)

I'd still like to know where the ripple idea came from, cus I've read all the devlogs and I think I've read all of toady's posts...

Yea, I'm not sure either. But still it's quite typical of us to be planning ways to weaponize even hypothetical updates.

I mean, I think if toady were re-writing the entire liquid physics system, more people would know.

That'll leave intermittent splashes at the points of contact depending on the speed and nature of the objects. There are also splashes now when a creature or vehicle falls into a liquid.

People probably assumed that splashes=ripples.

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

Ripples don't interest me nearly as much as the idea of shit being able to skip along the water surface.
That and proper transfer of momentum, Can a dwarf being struck by a minecart collide with someone else with enough force to kill him? Hell yes.
Can the teeth being knocked out of a goblin fly out with enough force to cause a serious injury to the dorf inflicting said damage with a hammer? No but i can dream.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Why must you hurt yourself by seeing feature changes where there are none?
