Stripping and Pitting Caged Enemies: A Guide by Mechanixm has been posted.

That is all.

Thanks for the guide! I was just about to build a creature air friction lab in a far less efficient way.

Loving your guides!

I remember reading somewhere that falling on floors from more dense materials is more dangerous and vice versa, is that [still] true?

Don't know for sure but it would be a good use for cobaltite if it was.

Does anybody know what causes the pitting dwarfs to let go of prisoners sometimes? Lack of discipline, low strength?
I like to use undead as live fire target practice but they break loose often and endanger my haulers.

Yes. A floor built from platinum will cause more hurt than a floor built from feather wood. It is one of those cases where DF diverges from reality a bit. Werebeast material weakness is also respected.

In my single experiment the only case they let go prisoners was when I assigned multiple of them for pitting. Not a single time they released anyone if prisoners were assigned one by one, even when they had to walk ~5 tiles to the pit zone.

Well, according to these graphs the general trend line is respected:

Uggh, that isn't much fun if a necromancer shows up with 30 undead. Thanks.
