Furniture Weight[edit]

I was looking into what furniture type to train my masons. I wanted to use the lightest thing so that I could dump (compact) or trade quicker.

Using Slate as my stone:

Furniture Weight
armor stand 667
blocks 667
throne 667
coffin 934
door 667
floodgate 1068
hatch cover 564
grate 534
cabinet 667
coffer 267
statue 801
table 667
weapon rack 667
quern 267
millstone 267
  • mechanisms 267 (just a note, mechanisms aren't made in a mason's shop don't train masonry, incase you might think otherwise. Edward 23:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC))

Things I've Learned Melting Ice[edit]

My current local map is entirely on a haunted glacier biome with no aquifer, so I've learned about melting ice for water. Some of this is contrary to what's on the Ice page and in talk. When I am happy with this here, I'll move it there.

Things I've learned about ice:

  • "Subterranean" is not enough to keep ice melted (although mined out subterranean seems to work)
  • Ice on a rock floor 1 z-level above magma will melt
  • Ice above/touching a warm tile will not melt
  • Water above a "warm" tile touching a magma tile n/s/e/w/u/d will not freeze
  • Ice a z-level below magma will melt


Comments:[edit]

Very good, man. Good to know. I plan on doing my next fortress on one of those. New research is always appreciated.--Zchris13 18:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I know nothing about this

traps & thieves[edit]

Thanks! for the feedback and the info - added to both the trap and trap design pages, with credit to you on the "recent changes" info.--Albedo 05:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
