It’s possible, however, to utilize Pig Iron for studding walls, to decorate rooms for dwarves that prefer the material, and rarely for Strange Moods which require the resource to mitigate the impending death of the moody dwarf.īeyond being a necessary material for steel, and the errant dwarf that may prefer the item, Pig Iron itself is not entirely a necessary resource for a successful Dwarf Fortress. Once crafted, is then moved to storage until called upon by various crafting recipes, primarily steel. They can then set a new job within the smelter, to craft Pig Iron. To craft Pig Iron, users must use a smelter production area and have access to all materials listed above. The only potential issue is that both fortress and arena-created dwarves have some variation in size (and hence carrying capacity), but assuming you train your dwarves at all they will be above average size.How to craft Pig Iron in Dwarf Fortress Screenshot by Gamepur If you want to test if your dwarf's equipment will slow them down, just put it on a dwarf in the arena, assume control, and see if the dwarf's speed is still 1.0. Using wood/leather shields is a good idea, as they are lighter and functionally identical to metal shields.
The only way you would have an issue is if you use copper/bronze armor, or with marksdwarves, as bolts are stupidly heavy. Also, military training rapidly increases size and strength, so I doubt any of your military will have a problem.
#Dwarf fortress pig iron use marble blocks plus
If you instead make the armor out of copper or bronze (which are about 1.5 times as heavy) they will be somewhat encumbered, but I don't think steel armor plus any ordinary weapon is enough to slow them down.

Keep in mind that your dwarves can carry up to a certain amount (which is strength/size dependent) without being encumbered at all.īased on the numbers given in the arena for speed, as well as my experience from adventure mode, a full suit (helm, breastplate, mail shirt, greaves, gauntlets and high boots) of steel or iron armor does not encumber a dwarf at all. Though nothing beats a certain siege operator, who has stress at -99999 and is blissful, content, delighted and pleased. All my pump operators have low stress, probably because they don't see much horrors unless when fighting. Pumping also means good thought from satisfaction at work. Pumping on the other hand guarantees you 2.4 points of strength per day, and dwarves will stop only when very tired or hungry or thirsty - or scheduled to do military service. My dwarves usually spar for a short moment, which means a 1 or 2 point of strength at max. Shooting at target won't increase strength, individual drill won't, watching or preparing to demonstrate won't, waiting for a partner (despite "Spar" being active) won't and so on. That's because while sparring has a faster rate of strength increase, it works only when two dwarves meet, and only until they decide to do something different. When scheduled to civilian they train at the gym, otherwise the do soldierly work. Crawling babies are about as speedy as such an individual.Īs for training, the best in my experience is to mix archery training (for archers), barracks (for all) and in case of weaker dwarves pumping (or shooting boulders). Exposing even a trained, strong dwarf to sun after adaptation makes him extremely slow, due to dizziness and nausea.
I have my pump machines installed in open-sky barracks, which help with cave adaptation. In case of marksdwarves operating a catapult is also good, and it increases strength too. Metal leggings are useless in any case.įor training strength you can order the dwarf to pump iron (or any other) pump.
Since high boot and mail shirt covers the parts covered by leggings/greaves and more, and a mail shirt also covers more than a breast plate, you can temporarily dump both breast plates and greaves. However, mail shirt covers slightly wider area. Also, mail shirt is actually heavier than breast plate, despite using less material to manufacture. Try dumping them till the dwarf is stronger.
That's what you get when you give him leggings or greaves. Imagine your dwarf wearing two copper mauls tied to his legs. Steel/iron greaves/chain leggings weight as much as two copper mauls. The heaviest item (and equipment at all) is greaves and chain leggings.
