Quick bug report: My priest, performing the greater ritual of shelter, has created 'tin'. Weight 14, base value 2, description 'This is a tin.' I can provide a screenshot if necessary. I'm assuming it's supposed to be some type of weapon, since he's also been making tin aspises (I have no idea what the plural of aspis is). And no, there's nothing in my error log.
Unless, of course, the intent is to create lumps of tin to melt down, and I'm just assuming the wrong thing. The grammar just makes me think it's supposed to be a weapon of some sort.
EDIT: Nvm, just realized it's supposed to take 15 plants for the greater ritual of shelter, not 10.
What do you mean by the edit? It seems to have no relevance to the rest of the post... 
Woops, I guess I accidentally pasted my edit over the last line rather than under it. I was in a hurry and must not have realized it at the time. As for what I meant, I thought that the ritual of shelter was only supposed to take 10 plants rather than 15, so I thought my dwarf was using too much. Since it wasn't listed in the manual, I didn't realize it was 15 until I got a message when I ran out of plants.
This one took me a while to hunt down. Apparently, the possible byproduct (disfavor of a higher power) of this reaction is actually hot enough to melt tin, resulting in whatever tin aspides are sitting around the workshop momentarily melting and then cooling back into lumps.
*facepalm* I should have realized that... And had a weapon stockpile, too. Sorry for wasting your time.
Also, I wanted to share this... I just got my first voidwalker thief at my newest fortress, on the side of an arctic volcano. My relatively unskilled hunter found her, and immediately broke her spine with a steel bolt (seriously, first move). When the thief tried to flee, she apparently got too close to my slaughter pens I keep outside for livestock, and a pigeon flew up six z levels and attacked her.
Yes, the pigeon just killed a voidwalker matron thief and got a name for it (means Sizzledglens). I only showed the last page of combat reports, but there's 9 pages of the pigeon beating that voidwalker into oblivion without even getting hurt. All the hunter did was break the thief's spine (which made it drop its voidshard razor, probably why pigeon lived) and chip the bone on a leg or so.
I'm not even sure why the voidwalker died at that point; this all happened within under a minute, on multiple z-levels, so I kinda had a hard time keeping up. I suspect the pigeon's high speed made it able to kill the thief so quickly, though.
(And yes, I'm certain it's the pigeon's kill; the hunter doesn't have it listed, and nobody else fought. Plus there's the title and all).
Are pigeons really supposed to be that aggressive? And effective? Or did I just get lucky here?
