I can't turn off temperatures -  I have a breeding pair of dragons as part of the fort defense. This would do bad things to their dragonfire attack.

yeah, but the little buggers being turned to mush and not pathing would certainly help a little bit.

use a bridge and catapult the children off the map.

Edit. Oh Jesus Christ, Necro would be proud. The second horse in the caravan came in and immediately caught on fire. I looked into his inventory and found a burning pig tail fiber bag. Curious, I looked inside.

I don't think the game allows you to build close enough to the map edge.

Also, I don't think creatures can leave the map edge non-consensually.

I dunno if mine got squashed by but I catapulted a couple vamps a fair distance if that counts...

Only in DF can you have a group of people get together to discuss the most efficient way to slaughter 40 children while leaving no witnesses. And someone was just wondering why DF isn't available on Steam...

For the record, I couldn't be more proud of you guys. *tear*

I know right? My favourite quote so far is by Caddybear: "Like any mass murder solution, this is simply an engineering problem."

Hmm, - how about putting them in a fast mine cart that derails close to the edge then?  ???

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Get 40 slabs ready, and maybe build a couple extra craftdwarfs' shops to speed up the engraving once the deed is done.

Make bone crafts, you mean?

Actually this is a pretty annoying aspect of it all. I consider it gamey to do stuff that does not make sense within the confines of the game. Sure, FPS might be improved. But usually when you do something in DF there is a ingame product. Atomsmashing succesfully leaves no valuable ingame product, only theoretically improved FPS.

Come on people there must be a beneficial way to do this

Ok so get a dwarf. Make it an angry dwarf. Kill it's pet, chuck its wife into a shark pit, whatever. Lock him in a room with a butchery and a baby. Babybone artifacts forever.

So... essentially the best option is a room completely filled with a drawbridge, and a burrow for the problem.

BTW, children will eventually go to a burrow, just takes a bit. Earlier at some point someone said that they wouldn't, and people ran with it. (at least I did...  :-[)

you really need to study more

1: there is only a chance of getting a fell mood, more likely is berserk, SRM or melancholy
2: noone gets more than one mood in a lifetime (might be wrong on this regarding fell moods)

Fell moods are a type of strange mood, not a type of insanity like the others you listed.
