Jargle: /* Choosing Weights */

{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional}}
'''Pressure plates''' act in similar ways to {{l|lever}}s, in that they require a single {{L|mechanism}} to be built, and then a pair of mechanisms to be linked to a {{l|floodgate}}, {{L|Trap_component|spike trap}}, {{l|bridge}}, or what-have-you. Their accompanying activity is triggered slightly after a creature has stepped on them; leave a time delay space for traps based on {{l|elf|enemy}} movement.

=Uses=
Pressure plates are used as a variety of triggers for other activities, such as {{L|bridge}} raising or {{L|Trap_design|defensive and trap}} purposes, such as magma or water traps involving reservoirs of said substances. Pressure plates will not trigger for unseen foes, such as {{L|goblin|goblin snatchers}}. They will, however, trigger if the snatcher has been discovered "inside" the plate defensive boundary and attempts to flee, and then steps on them on the way out of the fortress. This potentially extremely hazardous issue should be addressed during defense design.

=Construction=

Pressure plates are built on any {{l|floor}} using {{k|b}}, {{k|T}}, {{k|p}}. You will be prompted to enable what type of things should trigger the plate (water, magma, creatures, or some combination of the three). You are then instructed to set up a range between two values of weights- a minimum to a maximum. {{k|e}} and {{k|r}} effect the minimum weight, and {{k|d}} and {{k|f}} effect the maximum. More on this below.

Construction is done by a {{l|mechanic}}, who will require one {{l|mechanism}}. After construction is completed, use the {{k|q}} key to view the building, and press {{k|a}} to link the pressure plate to choose which trap, floodgate, or other device will be triggered by it. Your mechanic will haul one mechanism to the pressure plate, work for awhile, and then take another mechanism to the desired device and complete the task. Your pressure plate is now ready for action.

===Choosing Weights===

Only adult weights appear in-game. Children creatures will still trigger pads, even though they are unlisted.

First of all, numbers are only showing their first four right-most digits; 500,000, the default minimum weight, will appear to be 5000 in-game. It is easy to double check what you want to set it to by using a lookup and reverse lookup on the list, to compare what the game says about a creature, and what the list says.

Secondly, The weight settings are set up in what appears to be an odd way, but makes sense for the large scale of numbers we can work with. {{k|e}} or {{k|d}} will decrease the weight by 10,000, and {{k|r}} or {{k|f}} will increase the weight by 100,000. It is slightly clumsy but it would be annoying to increase digits by units of 10,000 when trying to get from crundles to whales.

Finally, it appears the weights of creatures between 1,000 and 10,000 in the game have been conglomerated into the 10,000 minimum weight. (Crundles, who weigh 1,000, are listed in the same category as gremlins, who weigh 10,000) The maximum weight is also inclusive of everything over 2,000,000 to at least 20,000,000, until someone verifies that fully grown dragons (over 1000 years old) set off a plate set to "Max (any)".

=Weight List=

===How to Use This List===

Use your browser's "find" function to easily search for creatures.

[A] following a creature name means it is an Adult, typically 2-12 years after birth; 2 for most work or wild animals, 12 for standard creatures.

[C] means that it is the Child weight, usually one year after birth. Careful, some creatures, most notably Dragons, are newborn/children for 1000 years after birth- there is a weight at age 0 and an increase at age 1000.

===The List===

Newborn weights are not listed here as it is extremely unlikely they would ever be useful, except for perhaps sentient creatures such as dwarves and humans. On that note, Dwarves, Elves, Humans, and Goblins have separate entries for each stage of life- they are in all caps.

You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process:

First of all, numbers are only showing their first four right-most digits; 500,000, the default minimum weight, will appear to be 5000 in-game. It is easy to double check what you want to set it to by using a lookup and reverse lookup on the list, to compare what the game says about a creature, and what the list says.

Secondly, The weight settings are set up in what appears to be an odd way, but makes sense for the large scale of numbers we can work with. {{k|e}} or {{k|d}} will decrease the weight by 10,000, and {{k|r}} or {{k|f}} will increase the weight by 100,000. It is slightly clumsy but it would be annoying to increase digits by units of 10,000 when trying to get from crundles to whales.

Finally, it appears the weights of creatures between 1,000 and 10,000 in the game have been conglomerated into the 10,000 minimum weight. (Crundles, who weigh 1,000, are listed in the same category as gremlins, who weigh 10,000) The maximum weight is also inclusive of everything over 2,000,000 to at least 20,000,000, until someone verifies that fully grown dragons (over 1000 years old) set off a plate set to "Max (any)".

==Weight List==

===How to Use This List===

Use your browser's "find" function to easily search for creatures.

[A] following a creature name means it is an Adult, typically 2-12 years after birth; 2 for most work or wild animals, 12 for standard creatures.

[C] means that it is the Child weight, usually one year after birth.

===The List===

Newborn weights are not listed here as it is extremely unlikely they would ever be useful, except for perhaps sentient creatures such as dwarves and humans. On that note, Dwarves, Elves, Humans, and Goblins have separate entries for each stage of life- they are in all caps.

You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process:

Jargle: /* The List */

{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}
Pressure plates act in similar ways to levers, in that they require a single {{L|mechanism}} to be built, and then a pair of mechanisms to be linked to a floodgate, {{L|Trap_component|spike trap}}, bridge, or what have you. Their accompanying activity is triggered slightly after a creature has stepped on them- leave a time delay space for traps based on enemy movement.

==Uses==
Pressure plates are used as a variety of triggers for other activities, such as {{L|bridge}} raising or {{L|Trap_design|defensive and trap}} purposes, such as magma or water traps involving reservoirs of said substances. Pressure plates will not trigger for unseen foes, such as {{L|goblin|goblin snatchers}}. They will, however, trigger if the snatcher has been discovered "inside" the plate defensive boundary and attempts to flee, and then steps on them on the way out of the fortress. This potentially extremely hazardous issue should be addressed during defense design.

Jargle: /* Missing Entries */

==Missing Entries==
I've noticed there's no goblins on the weight list (arguably one of the most important would-be plate-walkers). A quick second peek revealed that slugmen are missing, too. Someone should cover any missing creatures or, at least, goblins. --[[User:Bronzebeard|Bronzebeard]] 10:35, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I will be writing a script that will read the weights. It's difficult to write them out, because things change weights based on how old they are. I'll be thinking of ways to represent this, but II'll keep it as it is right now.
--[[User:Jargle|Jargle]] 23:19, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I finished importing all the weights info from the raws- THESE NUMBERS ARE IN FACT ACCURATE. I think I deserve to be angry if people change them since I spent 5 hours on this today. I guess I'm just grumpy. [[User:Jargle|Jargle]] 07:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

v0.31:Pressure plate

2010-05-21T07:00:56Z

Jargle: /* Weight List */

{{av}}{{Quality|Fine}}
Pressure plates act in similar ways to levers, in that they require a single {{L|mechanism}} to be built, and then a pair of mechanisms to be linked to a floodgate, {{L|Trap_component|spike trap}}, bridge, or what have you.

==Uses==
Pressure plates are used as a variety of triggers for other activities, such as {{L|bridge}} raising or {{L|Trap_design|defensive and trap}} purposes, such as magma or water traps involving reservoirs of said substances. Pressure plates will not trigger for unseen foes, such as {{L|goblin|goblin snatchers}}. They will, however, trigger if the snatcher has been discovered "inside" the plate defensive boundary and attempts to flee, and then steps on them on the way out of the fortress. This potentially extremely hazardous issue should be addressed during defense design.

==Weight List==

===How to Use This List===

Use your browser's "find" function to easily search for creatures.

[A] following a creature name means it is an Adult, typically 2-12 years after birth; 2 for most work or wild animals, 12 for standard creatures.

[C] means that it is the Child weight, usually one year after birth.

===The List===

Newborn weights are not listed here as it is extremely unlikely they would ever be useful, except for perhaps sentient creatures such as dwarves and humans. On that note, Dwarves, Elves, Humans, and Goblins have separate entries for each stage of life- they are in all caps.

You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process:
''Please note the in-game weight setting is really weird. The displayed weight is missing one zero on the left side.''

Pressure plates act in similar ways to levers, in that they require a single {{L|mechanism}} to be built, and then a pair of mechanisms to be linked to a floodgate, {{L|Trap_component|spike trap}}, bridge, or what have you.

==Uses==
Pressure plates are used as a variety of triggers for other activities, such as {{L|bridge}} raising or {{L|Trap_design|defensive and trap}} purposes, such as magma or water traps involving reservoirs of said substances. Pressure plates will not trigger for unseen foes, such as {{L|goblin|goblin snatchers}}. They will, however, trigger if the snatcher has been discovered "inside" the plate defensive boundary and attempts to flee, and then steps on them on the way out of the fortress. This potentially extremely hazardous issue should be addressed during defense design.

==Weight List==
You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process:
''Please note the in-game weight setting is buggy and only shows four digits, and increasing and decreasing weights have different increments'' (ex: {{k|e}} increments DOWN by 1,000 and {{k|r}} increments UP by 10,000)

{{Quality|Fine}}

A '''lever''' is a {{L|mechanism}} that has been constructed on an empty tile. This was changed from 0.31.03, when you had to build a lever on a constructed floor tile, which is not the case in 0.31.04,. Once in place, it can be linked to one or more other devices such as {{L|door}}s, {{L|bridge}}s or {{L|support}}s, permitting you to control these other devices by ordering the lever pulled through its {{k|q}} menu.
