Does anyone know if mechanism quality affects the lethality of spike traps attached to triggers? I know they do for normal weapon traps, but since I'm loading up my danger room this would be useful information.

How would i go about getting GCS webs on a cage trap? To my best knowledge they can't be physically placed there, so would i have to, somehow, get one to spit a web directly onto where i want the trap placed? - Manic Dementia 18 January 2011

I'm not sure who put the "taming isn't working" notice up, but I have tamed mountain goats caught in a trap in my latest fort. What evidence are you basing this on? Has anyone else not been able to tame creatures? Remember '''some''' creatures (with [PET_EXOTIC]) require the dungeonmaster (who seems to never turn up at the moment) to tame.

:Taming seems to be working fine.  If you fix the appointment method for DM his functions all work fine too. (31.18) -Celem 2010.12.27

Can we put a note about deconstruction of a weapon trap noting if you get the weapons back or not? I checked the wiki to learn this and there isn't that piece of information. <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Pathaugen|Pathaugen]]</small>

:Yes.  You do.  Just like every other building or construction - you use parts to build it, you get the parts back when you un-build it.  But if it's destroyed by an enemy rather than deconstructed by a dwarf, the parts get damaged. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 22:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Is there any way to determine if a cage trap is loaded if it is covered with snow or blood (and therefore looks the same whether loaded or not?)--[[User:Peglegpenguin|Peglegpenguin]] 03:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

: Press {{k|t}} (Check Building I{{k|t}}ems) and cursor over the trap.  A ''built'' cage trap will list the mechanism used to build it, with a {{Tile|[B]|7:0:1}} beside the name.  A ''loaded'' cage trap will additionally list the cage used to load it, with a {{Tile|[B]|1:0:1}} there too. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 21:12, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

::: this is especially annoying when you have vomit covered loaded traps. they look exactly like non-loaded ones, then once you check you find that its just vomit.

Mechanism quality is the most important factor in determining if a weapon trap succeeds in striking a target, it basically represents weapon skill.  added a note on this, but dont know if quality affects stone-fall traps, need some !!science!!  -Celem 2010-12-27

== Stonefall crashing ==
 
Has anyone else experienced crashing with stonefall traps? I am using version 0.31.17. My current game is heavily modded, but I haven't touched stones or the latest creature to spring the trap (mountain goat), so that should not have any effect. --[[User:Axussriddare|Axussriddare]] 16:36, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
==Stonefall Data==
 
is there data about the type of damage (blunt/edge), contact area and penetration capacity of stonefall traps like there's for the other weapons???--[[User:Kaos|Kaos]] 02:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
==Weapon traps==
 
I can make weapon traps with the specially made trap components, but it won't let me use normal weapons in them. After selecting mechanisms it just brings up a list of trap components, not a list of available weapons. Any idea why? --[[User:Nahere|Nahere]] 23:15, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 
:Are you sure the weapons are available (unforbidden, accessible)?  When you are selecting the weapons, hit '''x''' to expand the list and scroll up and down to see available weapons.  Check and make sure your building a weapon trap, not a upright spike/spear. Build 10 wooden training spears (ax/sword/whatever).  You should be able to put them into a weapon trap.--[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 20:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
