They are found only in [[Surroundings#Evil|evil]] regions, and are notable for their unique purple color and high density [[wood]]. Because of this high density, they can be detrimental when used to make items that need to be hauled frequently; they are however prime material for your [[ballista]] bolts. |
− | If | + | If embarking in an evil biome, glumprongs can provide an early and enticing source of wood to the practical player and purple to the purple-loving player. However, they are so slow to haul that any dwarf tasked with dragging a felled glumprong to the wood stockpile is in a prime position to be attacked by [[beak dog|beak dogs]] or [[Undead|worse]]. To mitigate this, a player may wish to provide a wood [[stockpile]] with several [[wheelbarrow]]s handy for carrying glumprong, which will greatly speed up hauler dwarves. |
− | + | The impressively high density of glumprong wood makes it an attractive material for certain [[trap component]]s that can deal blunt-type damage to take advantage of its weight and mass, such as the spiked ball. While quickly outclassed by metals like [[iron]] and [[steel]], glumprong may be easier to mass-produce in an evil biome, and thus ideal for stuffing hallways with cheap 'filler' weapon [[trap]]s. | |
− | + | Incidentally, glumprong wood also happens to be the most sensitive material for [[Minecart#Capacity and weights|empty minecart sorting]]. | |
− | + | Some [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] glumprongs for their ''living shadows''. | |
