v0.31 Talk:Dwarven atom smasher

A little more how-to would be appreciated. From what I've figured, you can't construct on a stockpile and you can't stockpile on a raised or lower drawbridge. The only work-around, removing and remaking stockpile and drawbridge, is much less interesting than this article makes it sound. I could zone a garbage dump except that I use dumps for quantum stockpiles of things I need moved quickly. I have them all over the place, and chasing them all down to de-zone and rezone would be less tedious, but still tedious. Uzu Bash 17:44, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

If it isn't obvious enough to use a garbage dump (it was certainly obvious enough to me), then by all means add it to the article. --Quietust 18:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

It would've been obvious if instead of describing it as a 'highly nifty idea', correctly define it as 'another pain in the ass'.;] Uzu Bash 00:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

It seems the atom smasher doesn't work in my DF (0.31.16). I've tried lead,basalt,obsidian,iron, and various wooden bridges.Dwarves and creatures pass through the closing bridge harmlessly and items in a dump just seem to get scattered within a 2 tile radius when the bridge closes down on it. I've tried raising the bridge too, with similar results. I have Ironhand's graphics pack installed and I turn weather off in the init files.
