So I found a thing.
« on: October 08, 2011, 04:46:52 pm »
You know, a thing This one happens to be a longsword, so I decided it was cool enough to look into. By simply digging down and then drafting all of my starting seven, I managed to wipe out four full pages of assorted zombies. The only casualties were a miner who I had recruited before the rest, and an engraver who got punched out by my medical dwarf, presumably to the miserable miasma-related condition down near the thing. Only problem is, the magic smooth-rocks completely block off the entrance to the thing, and I can't figure out how to get around them.

Ah hell, I decided to dig up into it from the bottom and DF crashed as I was fighting...

Also, and it took me a while to realize this, but apparently you can actually dig slade and get boulders by ramping up into the walls.

It'd gotten me really excited, but the game crashed thrice in a row after I dug upwards and had my military slaughter the undead. I had to delete it and try again somewhere else...

"Engraved on the wall is a masterful depiction of a human by Logrin.  The artwork relates to Xotano Beastblood The Everseeing Dwelling of Clouds the human vampire recruiting some new human shields companions after his encounter with Ral Firewealthy the Warm Flicker the dragon, during which his face was melted off."

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

Exactly. And the things were stupidly weak, I took them all out with 7 novice wrestlers.

I didn't realise that could happen. How is it blocked off while the enemies aren't?

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.

If I didn't know what you were talking about I would be hopelessly confused.

Good job.  Very dwarfy.

DFHack - place obsidian wall and mine through it.  If the thing is truly blocked, then this would be a case of "correcting a worldgen bug".

Which is perfectly reasonable.  The thing is just in a box.  The box is sitting on some dirt, many times.

Yeah, it was in the middle of the third cavern level, from what I could tell.

The more important thing I learned from this venture, however, is that I was able to mine the slade floors by ramping up into them, giving me slade boulders, with which I then floored off the glowing tiles right before the game crashed.

Ah, glorious hax.  Shame you can't use that slade for anything except paving.  Still, pretty awesome to have a slade floor in your mayor's room, or a slade depot~

Wait, you can't use slade for stuff? It's in the stones menu, and enabled by default.

I've heard that it CANNOT be used for furniture on account of its strange attribute of being both metal and stone, or something like that, but I've honestly never tried it.  If our resident Friendly & reports it, then I suppose it's fair enough.  If we could get a screenshot of a flood being built with slade in the "select materials" list I'd believe that.
