Weapon traps filled with crossbows will be loaded with individual bolts (10 per crossbow). Bolts cannot be designated to melt while loaded in the trap. It requires deconstruction of the trap. The components will scatter on deconstruction so surrounding the trap with an ammo stockpile set to links only and using dfhack automelt can semi-automate the process.

− | Coins may also be split at a [[trade depot]] and melted down individually for up to a 50x return. Mint a stack of coins, then trade it to a caravan. You can then buy the stack back in pieces, and each individual smaller stack will melt and produce .1 bars. One bar produces 500 coins, but splitting it into stacks of 1 coin each would create 500 melt jobs, producing 50 bars in return.

The process is discussed in greater detail, both with and without use of macros on this [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=111680.0 forum thread]. While potentially time consuming, this new method both results in far more bars produced per stack (potentially a net profit of 49 bars instead of 1.5), and can duplicate any metal, not just military ones while simultaneously training your broker. Combined with a magma smelter and properly written macros, this method turns a smelter into a free metal generator. Those who are less patient may instead opt to simply melt the coin stacks immediately after they are minted - while this yields only a 10% gain, it is far less time-consuming. |

− | [[ | + | Since [[trap component#spiked ball|spiked balls]] have an extremely high base [[item value]] of ''126'', they can be produced ''en masse'' from cheap [[wood]] or other materials and sold off to unsuspecting merchants. This makes for quick cash in any fortress that has a skilled carpenter and an excess of wood on hand. Furthermore, raw [[clay]] can be bought from the traders for under 5 value, and a [[ceramic industry|potter]] can create a single masterwork with 1,200-2,000 (earthenware and stoneware, respectively). Although not as lucrative as prepared meals, the raw clay that traders often bring is heavy (120-230). Buying their clay can reduce their wagon weight, and allow you to sell more goods to them. |

[[Prepared meal]]s can be quick and valuable trade goods - purchase an abundance of raw food when the traders arrive, and set your [[kitchen]] to work cooking that food into lavish meals, then haul the stacks of meals back to the depot and trade them for whatever supplies you really want.
