ArkTane:

Thought we could start posting any significant information or events related to the philosopher arriving, in an attempt to work out what causes it. The philosopher arrived for me in the first migrant wave after breaking 110 population, in the spring of my 4th year. Fortress wealth was 124879, and one of my Axe Lords had just become a Champion. Nothing else significant occured between that migrant wave and the previous one. --[[User:TangoThree|TangoThree]] 14:46, 26 November 2007 (EST)

In the previous version the philosopher came when you hit 100 dwarves. The philosopher came when I hit 100 in this version too. [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 15:30, 26 November 2007 (EST)

: I cannot confirm this. I had 101 Dwarves, and the next immigrant wave did not include the philosopher. [[User:Drahflow|Drahflow]] 15:23, 29 January 2008 (EST)

My philosopher just showed up. He showed up by himself with no other immigrants. I had 100+ dwarves, but tragedy struck (quite a bit) a couple seasons ago, and now I only have 93. [[User:Holyfool|Holyfool]] 13:40, 7 March 2008 (EST)

My first encounter with a Philosopher; pop 127 (has been >120 since the last immigration, raised again more recently by several births). Created wealth: 516819, imported: 336914, exported: 24047. -- [[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 20:35, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

I was in middle of trading with the elves when my philosopher came (Just now). But before the elves came, I was working on a sorting scheme to dispose of the elves as 'CrazyMcfobo Absolutely detests elves' My wealth was well over a million, and populating is just over 100.--[[User:CrazyMcfobo|CrazyMcfobo]] 17:20, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

He came to mine when my population hit 133. I have about 20 military dwarves, half of which are currently in the guard. I also had plenty of jail and bedroom space. I had a Imported Wealth of 393,564*, and 816 seeds. I also had 19 farmers and 12 craftsdwarves... but apart from that there isnt really a lot more to say. Seems to come at high population counts.

I have recieved the Philosopher with a population of just 99, although I have had population levels higher in the past. The Philosopher came in spring, just after I had annoyed the Elves with an ash amulet that accidently slipped into my export. Rest of stats as follows: Created Wealth: 1250863 Imported Wealth: 820901 Exported Wealth: 22041. Of note perhaps is that earlier in the spring I gained another legendary dwarf, bringing the count of legendarys up to 17, another 7 legendarys are dead--[[User:ArkTane|ArkTane]] 19:22, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

40d Talk:Floor hatch

ArkTane:

I tested it meself-creatures will walk on a Floor Hatch, which can be placed over an empty space (doesn't require stairways.) If a floor hatch is triggered with a mechanism of some sort, any creatures on said hatch go straight down.

This MIGHT work with: Retracting bridges? Floor grates? Haven't tested these, I imagine grates will work. [[User:Kefkakrazy|Kefkakrazy]] 13:23, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

:This raises interesting trapdoor possibilities. Pit full of carp + kobold invasion = satisfied carp?--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 00:32, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

I had floor hatches keeping water over my entrance. Everything went smoothly until spring, when I noticed how it had become a massive waterfall. I suspect either freezing or melting water/ice destroys hatches/mechanisms. I must admit I'm not 100% sure the water was frozen altogether.
:I've also had a hatch destroyed by ice.--[[User:ArkTane|ArkTane]] 17:13, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

== Magma on non-resistant hatches ==

Will non-resistant hatch melt if I flood it with magma? Closed doors and walls are resistant, because magma never enters their tile. Hatch occupies floor part of tile, and thus has to withstand full temperature. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 06:42, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
