Pitchblende is also especially [[density|heavy]], second only to [[cinnabar]] (and [[slade]]), so it is absolutely inappropriate for making [[large pot]]s and other commonly-[[hauling|hauled]] items, and preferable for [[trap|stone-fall traps]] and [[catapult]]s. Additionally, pitchblende [[craft]]s are so heavyweight they can fill up a caravan. Hauling pitchblende is not realistic, or at least will take an [[Time|eternity]], without a [[wheelbarrow]]. | Pitchblende is also especially [[density|heavy]], second only to [[cinnabar]] (and [[slade]]), so it is absolutely inappropriate for making [[large pot]]s and other commonly-[[hauling|hauled]] items, and preferable for [[trap|stone-fall traps]] and [[catapult]]s.

It is believed that Dwarves would proceed to use the new super-weapon to preemptively dispatch invaders, and ignore the potential new power source (since they have worked out how to create perpetual motion machines). Or they would find some way to [[brew]] it, giving them all mutant superpowers after a night of drunken partying. |
