v0.34 Talk:Trap
"Most captured creatures do not require any nourishment and will survive being in a cage indefinitely" This is somewhat untrue in this version. many creatures DO stave while caged now. (maybe all grazers?) so far I can confirm that humans, trolls goblins survive fine.
Quality what?
That source (1) about mechanism quality in weapon traps is from 2007.
Cage traps not triggering in DF2012?
I recently started playing DF2012, coming from DF2010. When the first Goblin ambush came after I had set up my default defense (walling in and adding a corridor of cage traps to the entrance door), they just walked through the traps (yes, they were loaded), as if the didn't exist at all. What is more, I tried to lock the inner door before them, when I noticed, but they just ignored it and walked through, even without stopping.
Is this new inteded behaviour, or is this a bug? Is this maybe the result of creating my world with advanced parameters?
