v0.31:Pressure plate
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
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
How to Use This List
Use your browser's "find" function to easily search for creatures.
[A] following a creature name means it is an Adult, typically 2-12 years after birth; 2 for most work or wild animals, 12 for standard creatures.
[C] means that it is the Child weight, usually one year after birth.
The List
Newborn weights are not listed here as it is extremely unlikely they would ever be useful, except for perhaps sentient creatures such as dwarves and humans. On that note, Dwarves, Elves, Humans, and Goblins have separate entries for each stage of life- they are in all caps.
You can set the minimum weight threshold that will trigger plates during the setup process: Please note the in-game weight setting is really weird. The displayed weight is missing one zero on the left side.
