How does one make a adamantine strand stockpile?  Ive gone through all the plausible menus and there is only raw adamantine XD help please!  Thanks - Galileo

A magmaless but still overly-complex answer to claimed items hanging around the place:

Have your regular dwarves bunk down in luxury dorms but assign each of them a tomb and build it like this.

Code: [Select]

#####??#####
##00000000##
#==========#
#++++++++++#
#++++++++++#
#####XX#####

# = wall
0 = coffin
= = raising bridge
+ = floor
X = floodgate
? = back door

Connect the bridge and floodgates to a lever and pull it a couple of times to get the signalling working properly. While the bridge is down and the floodgates are closed, designate and assign each tomb. Then pull the lever again and watch your dwarves cheerfully throw all their worldy possessions in the atom smasher.

When the time comes to fill one of those tombs you'll need to create a back entrance, as the bridge and floodgate setup means that the coffins are never physically accessible. Keep this locked. I don't know if dwarves will put items on the same tile as a coffin, but assume Murphy's Law.


Galilieo: To create an adamantine thread stockpile, create a thread stockpile and disable the existing options one by one.

really need help. i made a draw bridge and connected it to lever. but what good is it to have a bridge when their is ground underneath it

You can set-up the bridge to raise-up and seal-off an entrance:

Code: [Select]

.....WWW
..BBB...
.....WWW

W = Wall
B = Bridge
If the bridge raises to the right, it forms a (relatively) solid wall against anyone getting in. Really, channeling-out a moat isn't really necessary, although it looks cool.

i did the moat idea i got a 2 level drop down into a pit. now i managed to capture some zombie and skeletal camels and some goblins how do i move the cages so i can put the camels in pit. i plan on lever opening the cage im just asking how to move the said cage without the camel escaping or killing me.

[ b ]uild->[j]cage.

[moisesjns]

i have a lot of cages. i need the specific one with the camels all i see is i want to move the cage that has the camel.

oaken cage 0/20
zinc cage 0/1
iron cage 0/1

omg... THANK YOU i never knew this key now i just have to figure out how to stop these goblins from opening doors and trying to escape.


hate to be a other but i might as well ask this. is it possible for dwarves to die when mining hot surfaces near the magma pool? i had a dwarf go down to get adamintine and he was surrounded by hot rock and a magma sea, no magma touched him but i soon got the urist has died due to bleeding out, if i cant get close to heat how do i get my adamantanium?,

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

To stop goblins fromopening doors forbid it, it's basicly locking it. Yes. If you don't want it to happen turn off tempature. WARNING:Water will not freeze/unfreeze if tempature is turned off. It also speeds up the game.

My question : Will wood work for magma pump stacks?

[FuzzyZergling]

Only for about six seconds, then everything goes pear shaped.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

So it will work? Great! A noble disposer. They think they're to killing elves...

[Sutremaine]

i had a dwarf go down to get adamintine and he was surrounded by hot rock and a magma sea, no magma touched him but i soon got the urist has died due to bleeding out,

I can't quite make out what you're saying, but either Urist the miner nicked the edge of the magma sea, or he wandered through a patch of forgotten beast extract a while ago and caught something, or he received some dwarven justice. I can't think of anything else that would cause a dwarf to bleed out suddenly. If it happened recently you might be able to find something in the combat logs (press r when on the main screen).

i THINK its a cloth stockpile with everything turned off.

[Double A]

How effective exactly is a 1 tile wide bridge spanning an over 9000 z level drop?

[TolyK]

very. it will instantly DESTROY anything that falls from it.

unless that something knows how to fly
