I feel like I'm wasting forum space, but i just had to say that Rock Salt trade goods give me the giggles, at least from a role playing perspective.

First bit of rain or river crossing - BAM!!! Goodbye thousands of Dwarfbucks of profit.

Gosh Darn it! I just LOVE Dwarf Fortress!!!

I sell lead goblets to elves. Try living forever with lead poisoning you hippy bastards.

[MaximumZero]

I sell lead EVERYTHING to elves. Goblets, crafts, weapons, armor, pots, ammo, statues...

(I've made some minor raw modifications.)

[omg_scout]

I always sell 'em rock mechanisms. Bastards won't understand its concept anyway.

Oo, I have a good one in Swampconstruct:
The exit from my trapdoor pit is via a chamber that has exposed pitchblende walls and a pitchblende bridge for floor. Naturally, the chamber has a second layer of outer walls and a roof made of lead bars.
"So, you survived the fall and the weapon traps? Good luck trying to have kids though..."

Being Wrong Genre Savvy, I always try to keep any pitchblende or lead as far away from my dorfs as dwarvenly possible, ideally turning them into trade goods for the hippieselves or humans.

[McMagma]

what? do lead really poison dwarves?

[GoombaGeek]

what? do lead really poison dwarves?

No, but we like to think it does.

Just like how pitchblende is a purple rock that does nothing in-game. Still, though, purple! Purple is always worth it.

But, doesn't marble and granite have a higher radioactive output than pitchblende?  Imaging the radon levels in your standard marble or granite fortress!

LOL OP, I actually quick read, and kind of thought you were saying rock salt goods melted in the rain in DF lol. I read up it on wiki and then laughed at my stupidity.

I was gonna say "I always have my finished goods stockpile for mugs, or whatever im selling, in a place 1 z level below, where the rain couldn't hit and in bins so never knew they melted".

But its all good, I read your post

Yeah we probably won't get that until DF 0.68 or so, when atomic structures are fully modeled along with realistic chemical reactions.

[Nyxalinth]

I've done this many times

regarding pitchblende, one of my dwarves had (she was killed by goblins) this as a favored material.  I should have renamed her to Marie Curie.

I sll them rags stained with pus and vomit. It makes them static.

This is a dangerous weapon you are giving the elves. It only takes one dabbling mechanic to begin building magma pumps...

Anywho I just give the elves all of my rope reed for all of their stuff, works out nicely.

[Hammerstar]

So, Bay12 has evolved from bathing elves in magma to giving them slow, painful deaths via lead poisoning.

I'm actually not sure if that's more or less sadistic.

Oh boy that one got me
