Talk:Restraint

From DwarfFortressWiki

How do you make ropes in the latest version?

You make ropes from Cloth(or silk) at a Clothier's Workshop. Once you've made a Rope, you build it as a Restraint from the building menu (b)->(v) --Wahnsinniger 12:30, 19 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Are Restraints Destructable?

It appears that ropes can be broken by prisoners. I think I've seen this 2-3 times, but I'd like someone else to verify -- SammyJ

My prisoners usually destroy nearby ropes when they tantrum and there were a few occasions when they became free without damaging any ropes. Not sure if they are able to destroy their rope.--Another 17:35, 20 November 2007 (EST)

Did you try with something metallic, like chains? --Eagle of Fire 17:58, 20 November 2007 (EST)

I've had a war dog escape a rope. The rope wasn't damaged, and I just tied him back on.

[edit] Breeding + Restraints

Do animals assigned to retraints breed normally? I know they don't breed while in cages. This info should be added here. --Felix the Cat 17:51, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

They indeed do, I one of my roped war dogs sentries has a cloud of puppies around her. HeWhoIsPale 15:13, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Restraints + Adoption

Note that I have three stray kittens which have been chained as sentry cats for over two years now, and they haven't adopted anyone. If it's true that chained animals won't attack, and chained cats won't adopt, then cats are a much wiser sentry resource. --RomeoFalling 22:52, 7 November 2008 (EST)
