[[Vermin]] inherently do not trigger traps - aside from their weight being consistently less than 10000, they aren't treated as actual creatures for the purpose of triggering any sort of trap. Only adult weights appear in-game. Children creatures will still trigger pads, even though they are unlisted. Creatures with the trapavoid token will not trigger pressure plates, regardless of weight. | [[Vermin]] inherently do not trigger traps - aside from their weight being consistently less than 10000, they aren't treated as actual creatures for the purpose of triggering any sort of trap.

− | + | In-game numbers are shown divided by 10 (rounded down). For example 500,000, the default minimum weight, will appear to be 50,000 in-game. The in-game numbers can be adjusted to the nearest 1,000 (= 10,000 internally) It is easy to double check what you want to set it to by using a lookup and reverse lookup on the list, to compare what the game says about a creature, and what the list says. | |
− | The weight settings are set up in what appears to be an odd way, but makes sense for the large scale of numbers we can work with. {{k|e}} or {{k|d}} will decrease the weight by 10,000 | + | The weight settings are set up in what appears to be an odd way, but makes sense for the large scale of numbers we can work with. {{k|e}} or {{k|d}} will decrease the weight by 10,000, and {{k|r}} or {{k|f}} will increase the weight by 100,000. It is slightly clumsy but it would be annoying to increase digits by units of 10,000 when trying to get from crundles to whales. |
A pressure plate set to trigger on {{k|T}}rack can also be adjusted to respond only to [[Minecart]]s of defined weights. The default settings are 1 as minimum and "any" as maximum, which responds to carts of any weight. If only carts of specific weights are supposed to trigger a signal, different minimum and maximum values can be chosen, in steps of 50 kg, ranging from 1 to 2000. {{k|t}} and {{k|y}} lower and increase the minimum, {{k|g}} and {{k|h}} affect the maximum weight setting. Only carts falling within the limits specified will trigger a signal, carts that are too light or too heavy will not. The gross weight of the cart will be consulted, i.e. the weight of the cart including its cargo. Differing weights of empty carts only cover part of the choosable weight range - the heaviest empty carts are made from platinum and weigh 856 kg. | A pressure plate set to trigger on {{k|T}}rack can also be adjusted to respond only to [[Minecart]]s of defined weights.
