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.

It won't bother them emotionally, but they won't drink from 'contaminated' water. Not good if your only water source after a siege has been bloodied up!

However, pumps will filter blood out of water.

[Yanlin]

Hooray for wooden microscopic lattices.

....Oh. Wish I had thought of that before the tantrum spiral started...

Carp and gobbos don't have that tag.

The answer then is to mod Carp to have the building destroyer tag.

We are all doomed.

[Dwarf]

Yes. Yes, we really are. Go raid the nearest grocery store, the ten plagues are upon us.

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.

Seriously?

Oh man, I gotta build some Cat-O-Smash traps...

Enemy walks over P-plate, cage opens, perfectly timed cat smacks through the floor and hits the enemy in a bloody explosion.


Possible?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but . . .

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.

However . . .

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.

Well, the cats would explode and make a mess.

But thats all that would happen.

Psychological Warefare my friend...

[Wahad]

You might want to watch out for locusts, frogs, and fire from the sky.

That said, a river of blood would make a good blood-moat, wouldn't it? Provided you'd get enough blood in there, of course.

Such a good thing I'm near the head of the river, then.

Hmm. On the subject of contaminated water, is a suit of =steel chain mail= worth draining a pond to retrieve?

[grimlock]

For the execution tower, you could build it over a dam made out of floodgates, empty it for an execution, retrieve all the useful crap, then flood it and watch as the blood fills the riverbed.
