Pressure plate question
« on: August 15, 2010, 06:43:13 pm »

I ran into a problem while trying to build a child/animal filtering system, as described on these forums. I've been setting up pressure plates, and it seems to me that there's no way to set the maximum weight that triggers them to below 6000 (weight of an adult dwarf). Anyone else had that problem (this is 31.12 btw), or am I doing something wrong?

I just checked, and this does seem to be the case in 31.12.  The maximum weight refuses to go below 6000.  I know this was not the case in earlier revisions, so it seems to be a bug or possibly a deliberate change in this version.  Annoying if so, should be reported as a bug.

So then, does anyone know which version first introduced this change (or bug)?
Edit: I went through the 31.x changelogs and there doesn't seem to be anything about pressure plates there at all.
