v0.31 Talk:Mechanism

quality mech's and trap accuracy

I have no intention of assuming that high-quality mechanisms do not help weapons traps - and perhaps others as well - until we have more evidence in. That's how it worked in the prev version, so I'll act on that until we know diff. However, I'm equally sure that citing a quote from July 2007 is not necessarily relevant to the version just released April 2010. (When was 40d released?)--Albedo 22:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Metal

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of wish that 'They can also be created at a forge' should get put in HUGE CAPS. Being able to make lava-proof mechanisms out of steel now? HUGE CHANGE! Plus, I almost edited the article to point it out again because I missed that the first time. Perhaps we should just change that . to a , in the first sentence. Savanik 02:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Considering a great deal of other stones have become magma-safe, the ability to create metal mechanisms is less significant now. Too bad they're limited to weapons-grade metals, otherwise it'd become possible to have levers made of rose gold and lay pewter (which would permit colors otherwise not possible using stone). --Quietust 05:09, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it should be stated in the article that in a forge mechanisms are treated as trap components, not as furniture, as they are in stockpiles? --Doub 09:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Done, but I'd like you all to look it over as I don't think it's as simple and direct as possible.

Do metal mechanisms have any advantages over stone ones? They surely do in real life, so maybe new material system implicitly makes that difference?--Snus-mumrik 109.66.97.87 17:47, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
