Getting spammed ( Cant release small creature need available small cage )
« on: March 13, 2015, 06:54:04 pm »
I have no idea what my dwarf is trying to do, i have a few crows and a monkey or two in a cage but i dont know why they want to free them and why they cant use one of my literal 5000 lead cages, why do they want to do this and why are they unable to, please help me its so rapid and so annoying i can barely play.

Small cage?
What exactly is the message? I've never heard of small cage.

Oh, that is because some small (vermin) animals need to be put into animal traps. Just let your carpenter build one.
If you just want to empty the cage, you can build the cage and link it to a lever then pull the lever.

As for your second question, check here: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Cave_adaptation

Hmm, strange. The shot cut is "p".
Do you have a trapper? Maybe you can't actually make it if no one has the trapper labor enabled.
