Oh Boy!
« on: April 01, 2009, 04:07:07 pm »
Just broke into my first batch of HFS. I did it accidentally in the first month. Guess what came out ???

Good thing I save scummed.

Any good ways of eliminating them? I'm thinking of diverting the river into the pit

i remember seeing a movie where somebody trapped multiple tentacle demons in wooden cage traps by lining the whole room with cage traps then rigging part of the cavern to collapse. when the cavern collapsed the dust knocked all the demons onto the traps. i'm not sure if it will work with sof's but its worth a try.

wait a minute how did you breach the hfs in the first month?

Odd thing really.
I had found the HFS by sheer luck, and decided to dig AROUND it. There was a second pit OUTSIDE the HFS. You can picture the rest

Yep, they boil water from several tiles away. Best bet is to drop the roof on them, or make a retracting bridge over a chasm/bottemless pit.

Try to knock one out with a cave-in, and capture it in a cage.

Then dump the SoF into a pit somewhere near the bottom of your fortress. Have it endlessly boil away water, thus, turning it into a drain.  ;D

Also, steam for saunas.

SoF can fly. So they'll need to be trapped in by fortifications somehow.

Take the repeater in the other thread and hook it up to a long covered hallway of upright spike traps. Upright spikes on a lever will kill anything (including your miner), and trapavoid doesn't apply.

For whatever reason, this got me thinking about that old Zelda cartoon. I used to watch it when I was little.

So, I looked it up. And, my god...

It's... it's so horrible, it's funny.

I would think the spirit of fire would burn/boil away the cage in short order, unless it was adamantium...
