v0.31:Pressure plate
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Construction
Pressure plates act in similar ways to levers, in that they require a single Template:L to be built, and then a pair of mechanisms to be linked to a floodgate, Template:L, bridge, or what have you.
Uses
Pressure plates are used as a variety of triggers for other activities, such as Template:L raising or Template:L purposes such as magma or water traps involving reservoirs of said substances. Pressure plates will not trigger for unseen foes, such as Template:L. They will, however, trigger if the snatcher has been discovered "inside" the plate defensive boundary and attempts to flee, and then steps on them on the way out of the fortress. This potentially extremely hazardous issue should be addressed during defense design.
Weight List
You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process:
