<p>Rock n Rat: /* Semi-Precious */</p> <hr /> <div>Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found strewn throughout the [[mountain]]. '''Cut gems''' can be used to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], [[weapon]]s, [[armor]] and [[ammunition]], to create [[window]]s and as a source material for [[legendary artifact|legendary artifacts]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Large gems''' are a byproduct of cutting and can not be processed further. They have a high base value for an item(10x) and can easily reach hundreds, even thousands depending on the gem. Artifact large gems made from precious jewels will go for around 50,000.<br /> <br /> == Value ==<br /> <br /> Gems have base [[item values|value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier. See [[Gem cutting]] and [[Gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10.<br /> <br /> == Varieties ==<br /> <br /> Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:<br /> === ''Ornamental'' ===<br /> {{Gem table

And [[trap]] components, such as [[spiked ball]]s or [[giant axe blade]]s, can be made from glass. Glass trap components have the same [[weapon]] [[damage]] as [[wood]] or [[silver]] (50%). They're easier to make than metal weapons because you don't need ore.<br /> <br /> Outside of Metal and Wood, Glass is the only readily available material to create [[Cage]]s (called terrariums) out of, as well.

<p>Rock n Rat: /* Cage Trap */</p> <hr /> <div>:''For traps used to catch [[vermin]], see [[animal trap]].''<br /> <br /> '''Traps''' are a reliable and cost-effective method for defending any fortress. Unlike [[soldier]]s, they're always on duty, and don't need to be carefully managed. On the other hand, they are immobile and can only lie in wait for foes to walk over them. To build a trap, go to the {{k|b}}uild-&gt;Traps/Levers menu. You'll generally need one [[mechanism]], and at least one other component depending on the type of trap. They can be built indoors or outdoors, and require a level ground square with no other constructions in them.<br /> <br /> Stone-fall, weapon and cage traps will be triggered by any hostile entity entering their tile, with the exception of [[kobold]] [[thief|thieves]]. Additionally, '''any''' [[unconscious]] creature, including your own [[dwarves]], [[pet]]s and [[war dog]]s, will also set off such a trap.<br /> <br /> ==Stone-fall Trap==<br /> The simplest trap to construct, a stone-fall trap is essentially a [[stone]] suspended up in the air which is dropped on intruders when the trap is triggered. These are a popular defensive measure early on, as the components needed are readily available as soon as you start mining. A single stone trap will kill or severely maim most [[humanoid]] enemies although [[troll]]s, [[magma_man|magmamen]] and hardier creatures may take two or three to drop. Mythical creatures such as [[dragon]]s, [[hydra]]s and [[titan]]s will take upwards of five or six. After being used they need to be reloaded with another stone by any [[dwarf]] with [[mechanic]] [[skill]] enabled, a task which your dwarves will see to automatically. Being that stonefall traps do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; alert you of ambushes when triggered by hidden invaders, this can frequently lead your mechanics into peril. <br /> :Shortcut {{k|s}}<br /> :Components used: [[mechanism]] and an ordinary [[stone]]<br /> <br /> ==Weapon Trap==<br /> Weapon traps consist of any number of deadly instruments rigged to a mechanism. When an intruder sets off the trap, the [[weapons]] spring out and strike the poor sap. You can add up to 10 weapons to a weapon trap, and they will all attack together when set off. This gives the potential for dealing significant amounts of damage at once. There are also special giant weapons such as the [[large, serrated disc]] that are specially designed for use in weapon traps. Unlike stone-fall traps, weapon traps automatically reset after being triggered, ready to splatter the intruder's friends. But there is a (20%?)chance that the trap will become jammed with a corpse each time it kills a creature.

<p>Rock n Rat: /* Cage Trap */</p> <hr /> <div>:''For traps used to catch [[vermin]], see [[animal trap]].''<br /> <br /> '''Traps''' are a reliable and cost-effective method for defending any fortress. Unlike [[soldier]]s, they're always on duty, and don't need to be carefully managed. On the other hand, they are immobile and can only lie in wait for foes to walk over them. To build a trap, go to the {{k|b}}uild-&gt;Traps/Levers menu. You'll generally need one [[mechanism]], and at least one other component depending on the type of trap. They can be built indoors or outdoors, and require a level ground square with no other constructions in them.<br /> <br /> Stone-fall, weapon and cage traps will be triggered by any hostile entity entering their tile, with the exception of [[kobold]] [[thief|thieves]]. Additionally, '''any''' [[unconscious]] creature, including your own [[dwarves]], [[pet]]s and [[war dog]]s, will also set off such a trap.<br /> <br /> ==Stone-fall Trap==<br /> The simplest trap to construct, a stone-fall trap is essentially a [[stone]] suspended up in the air which is dropped on intruders when the trap is triggered. These are a popular defensive measure early on, as the components needed are readily available as soon as you start mining. A single stone trap will kill or severely maim most [[humanoid]] enemies although [[troll]]s, [[magma_man|magmamen]] and hardier creatures may take two or three to drop. Mythical creatures such as [[dragon]]s, [[hydra]]s and [[titan]]s will take upwards of five or six. After being used they need to be reloaded with another stone by any [[dwarf]] with [[mechanic]] [[skill]] enabled, a task which your dwarves will see to automatically. Being that stonefall traps do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; alert you of ambushes when triggered by hidden invaders, this can frequently lead your mechanics into peril. <br /> :Shortcut {{k|s}}<br /> :Components used: [[mechanism]] and an ordinary [[stone]]<br /> <br /> ==Weapon Trap==<br /> Weapon traps consist of any number of deadly instruments rigged to a mechanism. When an intruder sets off the trap, the [[weapons]] spring out and strike the poor sap. You can add up to 10 weapons to a weapon trap, and they will all attack together when set off. This gives the potential for dealing significant amounts of damage at once. There are also special giant weapons such as the [[large, serrated disc]] that are specially designed for use in weapon traps. Unlike stone-fall traps, weapon traps automatically reset after being triggered, ready to splatter the intruder's friends. But there is a (20%?)chance that the trap will become jammed with a corpse each time it kills a creature. A nearby dwarf will automatically clean a jammed trap; this does not require the [[cleaning]] labor or the [[mechanics]] labor. If there are weapons that require ammunition in the trap, they will also have to be reloaded occasionally. Weapon traps using only [[bow]]s or [[crossbow]]s will not require cleaning but do use [[ammo]], it will jam if any non-ranged weapons are included.<br /> <br /> Unlike other traps, weapon traps benefit from being constructed with high quality mechanisms.

Also, added how to get power back to the surface, some folks were having problems with that. -- Infinity<br /> <br /> :Infinity: Doesn't using so many gear assemblies virtually drain all of the power? Would it not be a better idea to build a pedestal from a series of walls and floors to support a raised windmill, with a single gear assembly underneath it on the surface level?

I like the windmill tower! --[[User:Infinity|Infinity]] 01:19, 1 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> There's an assumption in this article which states that all windmills generate the same amount of power. I think there is wind-dependancy or height above the land changes how much power is generated. I've had windmills that power up to 20, but never 40 (yet).

I think it's because I turned off the gear assembly under it (with a lever). It might also be because the gear assembly floods with water from the pump it powers. Has anyone else had this happen to them? [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] 11:54, 2 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> - Yeah. That's the catalyst. a gear under the windmill supports the windmill. (it's still hanging though) ... when you lever the gear off, the support is lost... and the windmill can fall over. It's very ;_; To verify this, build your gear and attach it to the lever first... with the lever in the &quot;on&quot; position, the windmill can be built over it. in the other position, it cannot. This also explains why the user thought it wasn't possible to build the gear first. of course you'd want to build it and immediately turn it off... otherwise, you'll flood your area before your containing wall gets finished :) --[[User:Vaevictus|Vae]] 12:55, 2 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == how does it connect? ==<br /> <br /> When you place/remove windmills, do they leave a hole in the ground/roof, or is it a non-contact force they are using to apply torque on the assemblies (magnets maybe?). Do they punch a hole in like the wells-of-old?<br /> <br /> -- When placed, it's a small hole with a sealed wooden grommet to prevent liquid penetration. Part of the removal process is to fill this small hole. --[[User:Vaevictus|Vae]] 13:25, 08 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> i think i have a problem with my connections i buildit the windmill but nothing happens it just sits there?<br /> <br /> == Is the construction example a bad idea? ==<br /> -- Just wondering. I put it there, but wouldn't be upset it it was replaced with something prettier. --[[User:Vaevictus|Vae]] 14:15, 08 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> This allows water to flow past the pump when the pump is off, allowing for two pumps to use a single set of walls to contain the flowing water, with the direction based on which pump is on. It also allows for maintenance access from the pipe, at the cost of 3 extra wall sections and one extra floor.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt; Could you explain this in more detail? allowing two pumps to use a single set of walls?

[[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 00:06, 9 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> :I had my first goblin siege at about 600k wealth. They sieged me at 15 levels above ground level, where I had a stairway to my fortress. They loitered around for a season and left. [[User:Kaivosukeltaja|Kaivosukeltaja]] 07:31, 9 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::Thanks. I removed my addition from the article. [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 09:35, 9 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> I think part of the trigger is killing a Goblin. I'd captured several Goblin thieves, but it was only after I'd dispatched them that I was besieged. So, (wealth &gt; certain amount) and (has killed Goblins) maybe? [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 23:09, 12 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Troll squads ==<br /> <br /> I had 3 troll squads of exactly 8 trolls in each during a siege. Had a goblin king that time but no beak dogs. Can it be that no beak dogs in goblin civ=better chance for trolls?<br /> <br /> == Mounts ==<br /> <br /> Woe betide those who anger humans. I added a second human race with [BABYSNATCHER] instead of [SIEGER] for barbarian raiding action. When they sieged, every last one of them was riding a horse. When I approached the buggers kept running away and going all Parthian shot on me, too. It was pretty bad ass. -[[User:EarthquakeDamage|EarthquakeDamage]] 02:23, 10 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Still bugged? ==<br /> <br /> Are sieges still bugged in 33b? If someone knows for certain, could they add the version number to the statement in the article? Ta. [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 19:52, 18 November 2007 (EST)<br /> i just got siege and i think the bug is still there cause just redownloaded it for erroring reasons...the goblins just sit there and wait for something...</div>

<p>Rock n Rat: /* Farming aboveground issue */</p> <hr /> <div>==Farming in Winter==<br /> It appears that farm plots now have a menu for farming in the winter. Has anyone done this yet? --[[User:Karlito|Karlito]] 00:42, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> Sounds like winter farming works fine. It's probably part of the general streamlining of temperature and whatnot (why would a tropical winter be worse than a glacial summer, underground?) --Doomclown<br /> <br /> Spider Webs do not seem to depend on being near the water or farms now. Most I have seen appeared in a narrow valley on the outside of the mountain. -Silveron<br /> <br /> ==Farming aboveground issue==<br /> You're allowed to build aboveground farm plots on areas where you can't actually plant seeds, but it doesn't tell you this. Basically you have to make sure farm plots outdoors are built on biomes that have at least some vegetation (shrubs, grass doesn't count) in order for your dwarves to actually plant the seeds you set. Trying to farm on a mountain biome or any other that is listed with &quot;Other Vegetation: None&quot; will end up with the plot just being ignored. And there are now often multiple biomes in any given fortress map, as seen on the site selection menu when you start a fort. --[[User:BahamutZERO|BahamutZERO]] 21:23, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> ya farming in the winter is handy now, but does any one know what it means when the plant type in the farm when you pick out what your going to grow is red it wont let me grow it??--rock n rat</div>
