how to extract pain from prisoners?
« on: May 08, 2011, 03:00:04 pm »

im starting a fortress where all prisoners will be mercilessly tortured repeatedly. my current plan is to dump all prisoners into a tiny space with lever linked spike traps, the problem ive got is harvesting the blood they drop as thats how im measuring "pain"

You can't get blood into any container.

err, you can't, you could however count the dismembered body parts that will be flying off.

Also, you do realize you are likely going to be leveling these prisoners right?

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

Have a wide open area around a 1x1 pit on the z-level below it. Put 10x masterwork steel disks into a weapon trap in the pit, put the subjects in the pit. The one that has a limb fly the furthest wins.

Chain your prisoners in the middle of a tile of grates. And then have interspersed with these grates wooden spikes that would come up occassionally and hit these buggers. Under these grates, have some form of water, running or otherwise. When the prisoners bleed, the blood will run under into these grates and into the water.

And thus you have a containment device of blood.

Don't have the water flow, or else the blood will go into an alternate universe!

Don't you need to swish it a bit though?

If it flows at all, then it will start dimension-hopping.

They'll just report it as being contaminated.

How undwarfy. Strip your prisoners out of weapons, put them into an arena and let them fight against a bunch of dwarfes with -oaken training axes-.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Danger rooms aren't just for your military! Throw some goblins in there with nothing but their clothing (no metal armor), so they train up dodging. THEN have them released onto the marksdwarf live fire course. The longer they survive, the better the marksdwarves get, and it allows for better bolt retention.
