If I give a dwarf PickAxes for hands...
« on: May 19, 2011, 03:09:28 pm »
Can they use them to mine?

And if so, i'll assume other tools work like that too, so i'll make a caste of dwarf with all kinds of tools grafted to its hands.

Unfortunately, no.

A dwarf with picks intead of hands holding a pick would be an intresting sight, however.

They'll either treat them as like a weapon (AMMA BEAT YOU WITH MY METAL BODY PARTS) or as hands.

A pick-wielding nosepicker with picks for hands!

Picks for hands?

I was thinking about pumping magma up his legs and having a floodgate in his crotch. What could be more dorfy than pissing magma upon your enemies?

If such a thing was done, the whole embark would blow up in sight of such awesomeness.

You can't give weapon tokens to body parts, unfortunately. And digging implements are defined at the entity level. SIGH

You could mess with the hands, or make a new body part named "Pick".

Also, you could make the attack (Punch) to something new (Pick strike)

And you could probably even make it use the mining skill.
