40d Talk:Obsidian
Revision as of 19:30, 30 May 2008 by Marble Dice (talk | contribs)
Is Obsidian currently the only "sharpenable" rock? The fact that "create rock short sword" asks for sharpenable rock rather than obsidian specifically suggests other rocks may be usable (or become usable) for swords.
- The [SHARP] tag in the raws controls whether you can use the rock for making swords. As far as I know, obsidian is the only type of rock that uses this tag, but you can mod in any number of custom rocks (or add the tag to all the existing rocks) hence why it doesn't ask for obsidian specifically. --Morlark
- You could just build an obsidian factory, if you have access to replenishing supplies of water and magma. --30 Second Artbomb 03:09, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
- Sadly, magma replenishes slowly. --Savok 09:56, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
- Mister, I wanna know what you're doing with obsidian so as to drain a magma vent and have to wait for it to replenish. Do your Marksdwarves practice by firing obsidian swords instead of bolts? --Marble Dice 15:30, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
