My latest embark started up a tree (& on the very edge of the map for some strange reason). While pretty amusing I couldn't seem to get my dwarfs down, is there a trick to this?

[ptb_ptb]

Do you have any building materials? Is your wagon up the tree too? Does any of your dwarves have an axe?

[wobbly]

No building materials. The wagon dismantled itself (so probably there were 3 logs sitting up there), I had axes though they didn't seem to want to cut the tree down when I designated it (they may of eventually if I'd waited rather then just restarting & moving the embark slightly)

I don't think you get to keep the 3 logs if there isn't room for the wagon. And you can only designate certain bits of trees - I think if they can't reach the trunk or a major branch(?) they can't cut it down.

What if you use b-C-x to construct a stairway?

built from? without access to wood....

Retire and unretire?

how the hell do you have an embark in the SIDE of the map ?

[wobbly]

Not sure, half my map was covered by lake, so my guess is it's tried to put me down in the centre on the lake & gone, oh you can't embark there & I've ended up on the edge. Also the centre of the map isn't path-able(river joining lake), don't know if that makes a difference. Playing round with shifting the embark, a slight adjustment any direction tends to put me flush against the river on the edge-ward side.

Oh, did you use a dfhack nano embark (1x1)?

[wobbly]

Nup, it was either a 4x4 or 5x5 can't remember which now.

Played around a bit more as the world was backed up anyway, it's a 3x3 with a square of marsh in the middle, a lake in the top left & a river joining the lake.

Selecting the lake biome & hitting embark puts me up a tree on the edge of the map, selecting the marsh biome places me between the river & lake where I wanted to be in the 1st place.
