40d Talk:Strand extractor

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Does improving the strand extracting skill simply make it faster? Or is there a possibility of quality or quantity improvements? --Bombcar 05:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I found it worth my time to have several craftdwarf shops designated to this skill. In my case I had 6 craft shops for every smelter, and 6 peasants could keep up with some of my best furnace operators that way. The difference was made up between my legendary furnace operator and my great furnace operator. Something to consider, since this way you get more adamantine at the expense of, what, 5 units of stone? Keep in mind I had a tube reaching up to z-23, so it was worth it for me to hurry the process along and my fort became adamantite dominated, with everybody 'cept upkeep (carpenter, mason, mechanic, a few farmers) and military working towards the cause. --Yeti Yeti 07:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
