Guess the artifact
« on: January 12, 2011, 03:32:04 am »

Here's an idea for a thread...

Urist McTrapper has claimed a magma forge.

He has;  gold bars, rhesus marque bone, wax opals, mountain goat bone, cow bone, almandines and red spinels

What will he make? And are bone artifacts still bugged?

Answer;

So fill in your 'ingredients' and put the result in [spoiler] tags, and we can play guessing what the end result will be, and maybe even spot some pattern to this whole business...

Is this based on artifacts we get in game, or ones we make up?

Here's mine;

green glass, wax opals, tower cap wood, lay pewter, petrified wood stone blocks, cow leather

In-game, I think. Otherwise there would be no pattern to discern, except maybe that Bay12 posters really like magma and !!fire!!.

Would make a lot more sense if we gave what workshop they took.

Hematite, hematite, obsidian, golden beryle, dog leather, lead bars, cave spider silk, cat leather, green zircon taken into a mason's workshop

Urist McBowyer is taken by a fey mood! (doesn't take a genius to work out that this guy's gonna make a crossbow)
Fortress Athelegdoth, "Ringbows", has no bowyer's workshops, so Urist McBowyer wanders aimlessly for a while until Fortress Overlord billybobfred figures this out.
The workshop is complete and, yes, McBowyer is making a beeline for it. Urist McBowyer has claimed a bowyer's workshop, just as expected.
Urist McBowyer has claimed three fungiwood logs!
Urist McBowyer has claimed a stack of iron bars!
Urist McBowyer has claimed a chunk of tetrahedrite ore!
Urist McBowyer has claimed a piece of raw green glass!
Urist McBowyer demands body parts! Fine, we'll slaughter, I dunno, that bull over there.
The Stray Bull has been struck down.
Urist McBowyer has claimed a stack of bull bones!
Urist McBowyer has claimed a handful of almandines!
Urist McBowyer demands rock blocks! ... This better be a damn good bow, Urist. I'll get someone on it.
Urist McBowyer has claimed a dolomite block!
Urist McBowyer has begun a mysterious construction...

Any guesses?

...That's not a crossbow at all.

It is at least possible to use this thing, right?

Maybe as a bludgeon?  Unless you want to mod in the workshop reaction for blowdarts, you're SOL.  Cave animal people sometimes have some ammo, but they don't make more.

I think you should list the dwarf's highest moodable skill(s). That way, we know ahead of time what kind of stuff to expect from, say, a lye maker who claims a forge.
