No talk about chains?
I know ropes are part of restraints, but chains are too. I don't see them inside it all. Oh and nice work. Looks better than my version. --Hugna 19:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- "The best choice of restraint is therefore a good strong metal chain." They're there. :P --DeMatt 19:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- I realized the second i looked below cages. Another stupid action by me i guess. Sorry. --Hugna 19:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Chains versus Ropes
- "Ropes, being made of plant fiber and therefore weaker than metal chains, can sometimes be broken by strong dwarves, thus letting them escape and wreak more havoc."
Has this ever been true? The only events I've seen were tantruming prisoners destroying their restraints, but that's just because the restraint was a building, so a chain wouldn't be any stronger than a rope (and not even the metal would matter - tin, steel, and adamantine would be equally vulnerable). --Quietust 20:53, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've only has one dwarf tantrum while chained to a copper chain, and he never broke it, however, i cannot verify the rope part myself. Assuming, it is possible to wear out a rope much much faster than a chain, so if this was realistic, i'd assume a rope would break on the 4th or 5th guy chained to it. So it may need verification. Most of everyone says it can break on the forums, so me and Matt went by that. --Hugna 21:42, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Prisoners dying of dehydration?
In my current fort I've had at least two prisoner dwarfs die of thirst, and not for lack of liquids. I've got a couple wells, plentiful buckets, and a booze stockpile in the jail cell.
mk: me too, with .14 -- even designating someone who likes helping others to be in a burrow that includes only a well, a stockpile of buckets and the prison didn't help: the "maid" just stood in the hall until the prisoner died of thirst.
Booze/food stockpile
I'm trying to set up booze and food stockpiles inside the jail and have one of each in every cell, but instead of bringing a barrel of booze and a stack of my masterfully-cooked meals, the dwarves just put a single empty barrel on the stockpile square. What am I doing wrong?
