Are cats and ferrets the only catsplosion-type critters? or are there any other vermin-hunters?

[Eroing]

Read the changelog, it's changed in the 0.31.20.

Oh.. I'm sorry.. I'm still using .19 didn't notice the update.. :$

edit: there doesn't seem to be a .20 update yet.. probably why I didn't notice it.. (also.. I didn't look..)

[Eroing]

btw.. Rancor description says "It's for legs....." instead four legs..

There isn't, it's just that toady knows, and has fixed the problem with the knife/container thing (among others). Look for the actual fix to come out in .20

Hmm.. what about a new metal.... something like slade... very heavy that can be used perfectly for blunt weapons... and blast heads from the first swing... :3

if your dwarves could haul it to a workshop first, then to a stockpile, then equip the thing that may weight as much as a couple metric tons and actually move around with it.
you need a friendly ettin to do it.

Feel free to put 5x density on your worlds' copper or cobalt, then you have it.

I have a stupid question but...

Are glass trap components still bugged in genesis?

[myrkul]

I asked if that bug had been fixed, nobody said yes, so I assume it's still a bug.

[Deon]

What is the bug exactly? I am pretty sure that glass has no edge though, so it's pretty pointless to make traps out of it.

P.S. Ah, I see. No, glass is not moddable so it's not possible to fix that bug.

Not possible for us to fix, relatively simple for toady to.

It has no assigned edge so it actually gets a random edge.

[Torgan]

You could still use glass components to make weapon traps.  Build them on a path 1 square wide and when they hit the werewolves or whatever, the werewolf will eventually dodge sideways and fall off your walkway.  Alternatively it will work as a training room and by the time he makes it to your fort he will be a god among werewolves!

Though this always seemed like one of those exploity things to me so never tried it.
