Author Topic: Weird Display Room in Reclaimed Fort: Dwarves Won't Collect Stuff  (Read 623 times)

I've been trying to reclaim world-gen forts. They seem to always have that one weird room with a bunch of display furniture along with a bunch of better quality items -- it's the weapons and armor I want.
     I "deconstructed" all the display cases. I reclaimed all the items. I even set up a dump and marked them all for dumping.
     No dice.
     What gives? Am I just being impatient? Or is there some sort of bug and I should just accept this crap is off limits?
     Also, indenting for short paragraphs really makes for a stupid-looking forum entry. But I'm sticking with it. Go big or go home.

Hmmmm...

Did you try setting the display cases to not display anything?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Never occurred to me; I assumed removing construction would do the trick. Thanks for the idea! And the link!
