[PatsyPatarchy]

Was playing a new fort, looked at the river on my map and it's filled with blood.
No carp in the river, just salmon and shads. The blood is all in the left side and stops at the edge of the map
Wtf?

[Musluk]

It needs more blood.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[Barag]

I was under the impression that all non vermin fish are fairly deadly in their own right.

[Skorpion]

I've recently acheived that effect with a goblin being tossed off a wall.

There's a shocking amount of blood in a leg.

[Archaeologist]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

Legok shall provide.

[Aldaris]

The question is, are there any skulls for the skullrafting industry?

[Yanlin]

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL GOD!

[LegoLord]

Legok shall provide.

Hrm . . .

Anyway, that could have been caused by all sorts of things.  A limb cut off a goblin in a recent battle, for example.

[Guy Montag]

I always thought that was a neat effect, even if it is a WHOLE LOT OF BLOOD.

I'd dump fresh bodies into the river for the visual effect, but I need those skulls for my skull throne and I just can't have them floating down the river...

Hey, I just got an awesome idea. An execution tower, high in the air, that dumps my prisoners and unwanted animals right on top of a narrow grate platform crossing a river. That way, the bulk of the useful stuff is recoverable, while all the bits and chunks that fly off land in the water and lend to the atmosphere of the place.

[Ampersand]

Not sure, but the grates might break.

[LegoLord]

The game hasn't gotten that advanced yet.  There'd need to be a building destroyer in the river.

Well, if you drop objects onto a floor tile with nothing under it, it can break. It isn't just cave ins, either. Cage traps dropped from a great height have done it too. I'm not sure if it applies to just the animal, though, or if grates will break in the same way.

[Guy Montag]

Yeah, your right, animals/goblins DO IN FACT smash right through thin natural and constructed floors.

I'd have to make it a solid wall then. It complicates it a bit, but I'm going to try it out.

[Skorpion]

Does blood in the water cause unhappiness or anything? The river running red with blood seems to be a near-constant thing now, what with the goblins and now a dead monkey in there.

I have never seen this happen, and I made a 15 z-level death tower.  The bottom is just a thin natural floor.  I've used it several times.

If I tried building a grate with no floors surrounding it, it would collapse and break a floor, but there are no creatures that can smash through floors and walls without a pick, regardless of wall strength.  There are creatures that can destroy grates, but only if they have the [BUILDINGDESTROYER:X] tag.  Carp and gobbos don't have that tag.
