obsidian fail.
« on: January 15, 2011, 08:06:23 pm »
i made my river go into a magma pool for free obsidian. the only problem is that i forgot to make obsidian connect to something so it is falling to the bottom of the sea and sinking down into the molten rock causing mass cave in spam. how do i turn off cave ins in the announcements?

EDIT:no i cant block the river from flooding.

Go into [Dwarf Fortress folder]\data\init\announcements.txt and change

[CAVE_COLLAPSE:A_D:D_D:P:R]

to

[CAVE_COLLAPSE:A_D]

I'm not sure if there needs to be an entry at all, but this means it'll only be announced in Adventure Mode.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
