Explain to me how to build a bridgeapult.
« on: June 27, 2009, 05:50:51 pm »
Do I just build a regular ol' drawbridge, put a stone stockpile on it, and activate it?

Or is there more to it?

As far as I can tell, the items don't get any air. They just launch in a direction like you smacked them with a Hammer. I'm also unsure if the items collide and damage creatures.

Well, that's all I need-most of the rock I'm finding (Olivine, Alunite) isn't any good to me anyway, and I wanted it gone,

If you really want the rock gone, I would think a Dwarven Atom Smasher would handle the job better.

Why throw away Olivine? It's one of the few green stones in the game, great for murals

Perhaps he's not making a mural.

From my experience they do move through z levels

Items dropped down onto my smasher when it was down got launched back up to where I dropped them.

The All Stones to Economic whatsit seems to turn it off for building, making it more or less useless for my purposes.

You're aware you can change that, right? Go to the Stones menu off of the 'z' status menu, find Olivine, and toggle it. That's the point of the all-economic-stones mod.

If you have a chasm, pit or magma, you can just chuck em in there.

Yep.  Throw it in the magma.  Takes a while to melt some stuff, and don't throw iron or other magma-safe stuff in there and expect it to go away.
