Why dont you put things like halberds and spears with this reactions:

Sawmill:

1 log -> 4 long poles (or 2)

Weapons workshop:

1 pole + 1 knife (any kind you want, i suggest large knifes)  +  1 (or 2) screw/s -> 1 spear

1 pole + 1 axe + 1 (or 2) screw/s -> 1 poleaxe

1 pole + 1 machete + 1 (or 2) screw/s -> 1 polearm

They are simple enough to be made by survivors and they are effective, why not make them?

Also, you can simplify that by changing the poles by logs and removing the poles altogeter, but i think it is good for flavour and it also gives sawmills another function. Oh, and sawmills should require a mechanism, but that is another story.

I will post my fort whenever i have time.

P.S.- Remove pus from the rotting skin syndrome, it only stains all the map and lags a lot when they come.

You may want to change the name of the Metalsmith Forge added by the mod. It's too similar to the Metalsmith's Forge, at least to me. But that might just be because I'm a blind old man.

Yeah the pus is a problem, but no pus no rot (Unless somebody knows a better way). I recommend DFhack, you can use DFcleanmap to get rid of existing contaminants, and DFweather to prevent it from raining during sieges.

Good idea, the lack of spears has always bugged me, but I didn't want to revert to medieval weapons. Makeshift weapons should be possible, they will end up taking the spear skill. Plus I could use it for a few other ideas I have. I will probably have the sawmills cut the logs up into polls.

I agree with you, but due to lack of stone and difficulties mining, mechanisms can be a pain to get.

Face + palm I knew that was a bad idea. Blacksmith's Workshop would be a better name.

I'll try a multiple things like this later, I may just have an optional Rotless infected. In the mean time, DFcleanmap works wonders.

Speaking of Pics, I've started working on graphics, I'll be uploading a few samples of professions in the coming days.

I need help choosing my weapons! My choices are machetes/kukris/army knives for slashing, sledgehammers/crowbars for blunt, and military/hunting rifles for ranged.

The pus evaporates off, leaving constant clouds of smoke trailing the Infected.  :-\
I have developed a mod to remove the pus (and consequently the rot) if it proves to bothersome. Just paste this over the old creature_zombie_di raws

Each sword has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Kukri's are twice as fast, machetes are sort of in the middle but cannot stab, and army knives can stab really well, but their slash is mediocre. There is no 'best weapon'. Mixing it up would be the best option.

Sledgehammers and crowbars are entirely different, crowbars are maces, sledgehammers are hammers. Crowbars have both an edged attack, and blunt attack plus quick speed. I just added crowbars, they have proved to be effective weapons in the arena as they have both a blunt and an edged attack, sadly I could not test them as much as I would have liked. If your looking for a blunt only weapon, I would recommend light clubs, or sledgehammers. Light clubs are quick and deadlier then any blunt weapon in DF because of it, while a sledgehammer can massacre anything infected or not but end up being slow and two handed. Personal preference really.

Military rifles have a bayonet that causes a decent stabbing damage, but cost more to make, that's the only difference between the two. If you can make them, you probably should to make your riflemen effective at melee.

Thanks! By the way, there are duplicate hotkeys in the Gunsmith Workshop. [p] is for making pistols, military rifles, AND shotguns.
Plus, it seems a bit useless to make pistols at the Gunsmith Workshop when you can just make them at the regular Metalsmith's Forge.

Ehm... my bad, fixed. Enjoy your easy to make pistols until 1.0.3 which should be coming out soon once I get a few more things on the to do list done.

This topic alerted me to a possible glitch in the Dojo building.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=81325.msg2145231#msg2145231

I'll fix it in 1.0.3, but in the mean time you probably should avoid using it.

I can't make any crowbars or hammers. When I try to make them, it says "needs steel bars" when I have plenty of steel bars sitting right next to the forge. It's weird because I can still forge other weapons just fine, like machetes, kukris, sledgehammers, light clubs, etc.

Thank you for looking at my zombies, now you get another download. I saved it now, and changed settings (like intro), and I'll play it in the morning. Wish me luck!
