I like stabbing things in adventure mode. Bronze Colossi are very difficult to stab, and I'm not good enough at fortress mode to make anything better than iron before being eaten by kobolds. As a work-around, I tried making Dragon Bone better than steel as a weapon material by adding this to the dragon raws:

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_MATERIAL:BONE]
[MAX_EDGE:10000]
[SOLID_DENSITY:9000]
[IMPACT_YIELD:1600]
[IMPACT_FRACTURE:2600]
[SHEAR_YEILD:500000]
[SHEAR_FRACTURE:800]To my surprise, this hasn't worked. Can anyone help me get the desired effect?

[sackhead]

what hasn't worked?
can you not make weapons out of it or are they just bad ?
what weapons did you test, only density effects blunt weapons?

I tested a masterwork dragon bone spear on a bronze colossus (including bashing with the shaft). All attacks glanced off. I was hoping for denting and chipping, but nothing actually happened.

You misspelled "shear yield" and I'm pretty sure that shear yield is capped by shear fracture, anyway. If it bends at 500,000 force and breaks at 800, it'd just shatter like glass.

Up the shear fracture value, too.

Ah, that's fixed it. Thanks! In future, I shall double-check the wiki to make sure it hasn't compressed measurements. And that I haven't misspelled anything.

i just copy+paste iron or whatever I think I should.

Those values are extremely low, where did you get them?
