Holy Shit, Guys: Elephant Bones Make Stacks of 80 Bolts
« on: September 23, 2008, 11:45:57 pm »

Well, I just realized that I had to do something with all my elephant bones that I had lying around, so I built a bunch of bowyers shops and craftsdwarf's shops and sent my peasants and bonecarvers off to make weapons out of the bones. Well, elephant bones make 80 bolts stacks. Masterwork elephant bone bolts are worth a lot. I just wanted to tell you guys.

This makes up for everything that has ever gone wrong in my fortress. Thank you Toady.

Dragon bone bolts are even better, they give stacks of 100.  A little harder to get a hold of though

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.

This. You can get insane amounts of wealth with a legendary Gem Setter and 'Encrust Ammo with Gems.'

I may sound a little nerdish/bookish right here, but the stack of bolts made from bones is 5* the stack of bones. So elephants, being freakishly big, drop stacks of 16, dragons drop stacks of 20.

I should mod in a slow, weak, common domestic size 100 creature.  The marksdwarves could practice FOREVER.

 Be sure to have a damblock of -75 or more. 'Else these monsters will punt things across the map and be untouchable, despite 1-1 damage. Unless you can somehow have .1-.5 damage.

If you really wanted to be nasty, you could just mod dogs to be size 100.  You get massive piles of bolts and pets that step on dragons without noticing.  Win-win.
