Hai , I'm a first timer in this forum and dwarf fortress. Was wondering if there were other types of trap that can be built in the shortest time possible, other than drawbridge related traps. Anyone willing to share knowledge?

You can build weapon traps, and cage traps. Get a mechanic to build a mechanic's workshop and then make some mechanisms.

For a cage trap, a carpenter can make cages. For a weapon trap, he can make giant trap weapons, like spiky balls.

Then you use b-T-c to build a cage trap, or b-T-w to build a weapon trap.

Otherwise you can look on the wiki and no doubt you will find more complicated ways to make traps.

There are also stone-fall traps (b-T-s), which drop a boulder on whatever triggers them (not the most effective) and spear traps (b-T-S), which are slightly more complicated to set up since they can't be triggered directly by a creature.

Goblin grinders are very effective and only need very few resources.
