So, not much to put here, but since the Wiki is in a state of wiki-bot-template-article-needing-hell, I'll place my notes here so that perhaps they may be used in Dwarf Fortress 2010 articles. These will be wild and varied and mostly placed here for my own personal use, though if anyone reading this would like to peek here and there, be my guest.
These are notes. Not facts, and possibly opinions. Those that are neither opinion nor fact are likely my random ramblings on a topic. Proceed with extreme caution.
DF2010 Notes
- Threshers are Plant Processors. Migrants with good Threshing will start with Plant Processing enabled.
- Adamantine sucks as bolts. It can take over 200 adamantine bolts to drop a single Elephant with over 25 bolts lodged inside of the elephants body. Use lead, iron, or steel instead. Iron is probably your best bet - easy to make and quite heavy. I dunno if bolts like lead and platinum are even possible (possibly with moods) but they'd probably wreck a target good acting like bullets leaving some pretty good exit wounds if they were (Dwarven AWP Sniper Rifle)
- Adamantine is best used as ARMOR.
- Most weapons suck with adamantine, except (small) bladed ones. Warhammers sure are light, but they rarely knock anything around even with a grand master hammerer.
- Remember to layer armors. Leather under chain under plate. Extremely cumbersome, but a grandmaster dwarf in masterwork leather under masterwork adamantine chain under masterwork adamantine plate is basically only wearing leather as far as weight goes and is practically invulnerable
- That being said, large enemies will still hurt, temperature will still melt your dwarves, and being slammed against walls basically nullifies armor and probably gives dwarves a bad ringing sensation in their ears after banging their helm against a wall right before they explode.
- I hate underground caves
- Currently working on a method to build floors with up staircases so I don't have to look at antmen staring at me evilly with their blowguns 3 z-levels below. So far I know you can't build staircases on built floors, and deconstructing floors leaves a down staircase. ARGH.
