Do metal doors take longer for building destroyers to destroy than rock ones? Is steel slower to destroy than iron? Or are they all the same?

[melomel]

I think some building destroyers only affect wood, but don't know if there's a difference between types of metal (unless dealing with magma).

[KaguroDraven]

Even if they are all the same you might as well make a set of masterwork doors of the most valuable metal you have, just for pure cool factor. And so you can imagine the caravans being awed at the extremely well made and valuable doors.

I'm pretty sure the type has no effect, except against [BUILDINDESTROYER:1] and [BUILDINGDESTROYER:2] Magma can't destroy closed doors, so there's no effect there.

I built a pit with an iron door at the bottom, and when I pitted an ettin he broke it down and rampaged through my fort. My war dogs took him down eventually, but it shows that an iron door doesn't stop an ettin.

Building Destroyers come in two varieties, Annoying and Dangerous

[Urist McMick]

Anything with [BUILDINGDESTROYER:1] can destroy wooden buildings anything with [BUILDINGDESTROYER:2] can destroy everything else I believe.
Edit: Implemented fix.

Fix'd. Huge distinction there. Constructions are indestructible to all but dwarven masons and carpenters.

And any dwarf at all. I always find it funny that a kid can destroy a wall, but a troll can't.

[Max White]

Interesting fact: A single glass portal will hold off any number of goblins armed to the teeth with pointy things, but a troll will smash through cast iron doors like slightly damp tissue paper.

[KaguroDraven]

Thats the real reason goblins kidnap dwarf kids, tearing down the walls.

[Akura]

I usually use metal doors is my masons and carpenters are busy. Also for places that you'd excpect a heavy iron door to lock it down, like the entrances to the arena, prison, manager's office...

I've seen even steel floodgates get kicked in just like that. It is very silly and there should be some more IRL logic to using doors and such in the first place. Doors won't even hold animals in their pens.

[Urist McMick]

They will if you make them pet impassable.

If you want to keep the trolls occupied, construct Trade Depots all around the map. They'll be so busy destroying useless stone depots that the goblins rush in undefended.

What happens when caravans come? I just make a 3 wide maze to me entrance out of statues. Patch up the holes after a siege, problem solved.
