Mmmm... fish flavoured taffy.

[cerapa]

You have completed the task the gods have made dwarves for. Seal it, so its yours forever.

[Vester]

No food inferior to the Char Roast may now touch your cook's hands.

He must be consecrated to Armok, via magma.

[Truec]

Sadly, no magma, so neither the cook nor his food artifact may be fast-tracked to Armok.  Both he and the roast have been sealed into a vault, along with enough food he's allowed to eat and booze to allow him a long life.  I'm thinking of covering it in platinum and turning it into a temple to Armok.  Needs caged goblins, and they haven't obliged by sending a siege yet.

[Neruz]

Oh, also, Unicorns would turn up in all biomes. And be perpetually furious.

Been there, done that, got the tshirt.

Gave Elephants the LARGE_PREDATOR and VERMINHUNTER tags while removing the BENIGN tag too, just for kicks.



If i recall, when a dorf eats something he gets happy based on how awesome it is; any dwarf eating this should, in theory, explode with ecstacy.

im pretty sure that something like planepacked can be recreated with DF companion. once a material has been used in the ingredients list replace it with something else. or i think thats how it goes.

You can get your dwarves to use more ingredients than they planned on using, but you can't control what they use them for. In the case of Planepacked, the dwarf decided to have a decoration for every item of history in the world, which required getting a different kind of stone for each bit of history. In the case of cheating by forbidding items, you're just adding generic decorations.

how?

Forbid the items as they're taken into the workshop. The dorf will continue grabbing stuff until you decide you have enough, then unforbid them. Whereupon he'll use them all in the artifact.

Only works on artifacts as they aren't cancelled like other jobs.

[Satarus]

 You have one seriously epic stack of fish caramel.  That would probably give diabetes to Armok if you were to sacrifice it to him.

Of course, you first have to disable hauling on all of the extra ingredients (or otherwise make sure no stockpiles will take them), otherwise it's been my experience that the extra items will immediately be tasked for storage and thus won't make it into the artifact. Beefing up an artifact with extra stones or blocks is easy (and profitable if they're raw adamantine), but with bars you have to exclude them from your stockpiles.

And get a really mean sugar rush.

[Hectonkhyres]

Congratulations, you just got a two-ton boulder of amber. Be sure to check inside for any preserved lifeforms.

Thread is over: Duke wins.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but Plane Packed is worth:   Value

Planepacked is worth an amazing 3,105,600☼, an extremely high amount in relation to its standard materials.
(From wiki)

This...

Totally missed this for an unknwon length of time until I went to move things to the depot for trading.
The first page of five.  Total value of the stack: 6,470,728☼.

I kind of want to bronze them and hang them as a plaque over the front gate.

Interestingly, It's 99.9% dwarven syrup, with only one finely minced char in at the end.

But I doubt it counts for anything/much.

[Dragooble]

apparently, ordinary artifacts, that is, not using bugs, can be worth anything from 2,400 to 7,200,000. this biscuit comes quite close to that max value.

[Michaelsoftman]

Bugs are awesome.  I did this a few months ago.

[Dragooble]

fifty four... million?
