I'm already right here you know, you're not the first to think of this idea...

Oh. I thought this world was being run on a gigantic dwarfputer from your end? Toady One being your avatar in this world?

[Armok]

I *WAS*, until someone came up with the same bright idea this thread is for talking abut...

[Neruz]

Your silly fault for giving us access to bridges with infinite momentum.

[Phantom]

*Hums*
Stray Dragon (Tame) has been crushed by a drawbridge
The SoF has been crushed by a Mega Drawbridge
The Dwarf (Male) has been crushed by a drawbridge
The Dwarf (Female) has been crushed by a drawbridge

The only way to test that theory is to Atom-Smash Planepacked and see what happens.

A link, for those who have not gazed upon is immense visage.

Gives me an idea to start a thread of rendering this mothercarper. Basically, everyone render parts of the statue with their interpretation, find out how it all would be placed/illustrated onto it, and well, illustrate this beauty.

Pardon the derail for a moment, but I imagine in all it's glory, it would look like Trajan's Column. Yes, even we made Planepacked here. It's this dimension/reality's equivalent.

Back to topic...

I want my airship!!! But how can we atom smash that monster? It's the size of Armok's fist.


EDIT:
...Wait. A. Second.

IT IS PLANEPACKED!!!!! IT'S THE REAL THING!!!!!

Proof, the statue part of it is on the top of the "column". We already did it some time ago. The "Dwarven Age" was considered, and it was sent back in time. It was said to have been completed in 113 AD. When was Planepacked finished? Or more importantly, when did we send it?

[Phantom]

*Gasp*

[Vester]

Holy wow.

Actually, since Planepacked is the cornerstone of creation, and stands where the universe folds, I assume there's an incarnation of Planepacked in all unverses. Atom smashing one would destroy EVERYTHING.

On the item is a depiction of Trajan and Dacians.  The Dacians are making a plaintive gesture.  The artwork refers to the conquest of Dacia by Trajan in 106.

You did not yet consider conservation of energy/mass. Obviously, most of what you smash comes right back out of the nefariously hacked smelters of mod users and cheating megaconstructors. The survisuccess rate thus is much lower than to be expected. Also note that some of the impulse of the smasher will be transferred to the object to transport, as can be observed from burning/exploding kittens materializing in smelters.

Anyways, smelting too much matter into existence would cause the reverse effect, namely sucking away stuff from the world you currently reside in (or another unknown one). The gentle auditor now might ask what the atom smasher in this reality might be. Simple. It's my washing machine, smashing my socks into the barracks of my dwarves. Damned loopholes.

[ein]

Yeah, whoever does the transfer always uses socks as payment.
I've had socks vanish in my room that don't reappear even after a mega-deep clean.

The washer and dryer eat them.  Haven't you ever noticed how you never get an even number of socks back?

[Machinesquid]

a treatment of the dwarven atom smasher as a hypercube or other orthotope suggests that anything struck could be shoved "sideways" in any infinite number of incomprehensible dimensions. The logic is sound, but moving any object to a specific extradimensial coordinate would require rigorous calculation of godlike complexity, and an unbelievable extradimensional power source.

Thus, I propose that we petition Armok to aim an atom smasher, using Planepacked as a power source, and send me a pet dragon.

[Vester]

Your proposal wins.

Pet dragons for everyone!

Although Armok is the blood god. It'd probably send you an untamed, blooded dragon. Which would be unfortunate. For you.

[Labs]

Aww, but I REALLY want a pet Giant Eagle.

[RedWarrior0]

So a 6x7 obsidian bridge is the greatest artifact other than planepacked. Why:

Magma in solid form
42 tiles
The ability to send things between realities
