Is Nikov's server still up? I try to connect and yet I keep timing out. Perhaps it is on my own end, but I've never actually played SMP.
and where else is a better place than to play with the DF community.
Wooden houses are for 2 purposes. Bonfires, and explosive prisons. If ANYONE attempts an escape, my crafty engineering will see to it that the escapee will find themselves facing many trying puzzles as they flee the death trap. from pressure plates to plugging in the wrong combination.
My only joy from this is not the death of some wrong-doer, but for the blasted elves to drink their own tears from the environmental effects after 1000 tons of TNT explodes because someone wouldn't do their time.
And now to contribute to this thread.

as for 16 tracks to come of 1 stick, no one ever said the sticks are long or short... It could be a 20ft pole and cut up into equal 16 short segments... maybe longer, math fails me...
But also consider on HOW things are constructed. Every crafting item is built in a symbol-like way
XXX OOO
XXX <--- They lay out from the Crafting table. with no items. XOX <--- How you make a pick.
XXX XOX
So not only do the resulting stacks dont seem to comply in how things are made. But if you think about HOW the items are made. You can really only fit one stick in the 3x3 grid.
Refer to
the crafting wiki to see that everything mimic's what is being built...
Not only that but if one is going to complain about how you can make 1 ladder from 7 sticks and 16 tracks from 1. Perhaps you should go outside the cave a little more and make elves cry... I like elves crying... Their tears taste that of fresh spring water.
Mostly I see it in a way of balance. Iron is a common ore to find, but if your either unlucky, or really suck at mining, it's a hard ore to locate (to me its a random meeting). Whereas you can GROW your own friggin trees and find an UNLIMITED amount of forests in the game. So the balance to me is quite well... even for 16 tracks, which is instantly used if you have a looong track to be made.
