Revision as of 05:01, 6 November 2008
Okay, well I've just seen some fire snakes on the map, so I'll give a whirl at trying to catch them and extract some Liquid Fire from them, but if anybody has any info on this process already, this page is conspicuously absent. --RomeoFalling 23:00, 4 November 2008 (EST)
- It worked for me - build an animal trap, leave in animal/cage stockpile, assign "Capture animal" as a task in the Kennels menu, and dwarves with Trapping enabled should set to work. Either that or build the trap on the edge of the magma vent and bait it with meat. With a fire snake trapped, set task "Extract from a small dead animal" in the Butchery menu. I think you need a vial or flask available to catch the squeezed snake drippings. We can still only speculate whether Liquid Fire is a potent venom for dipping arrowheads, or suitable for mixing into cocktails, because it's only a trade good for now. Also, I think verminious fire snakes were finding ways to burn their way out of wooden cages, and burning sandbags(!) leaving piles of sand. --Jellyfishgreen 13:01, 5 November 2008 (EST)
