Global inventory
« on: July 06, 2007, 05:15:00 am »
For me, one of the biggest problems when playing DF is I don't know what items the fortress has. For example, when making new objects in workshops, assigning weapons for soldiers etc, I have to look all over the fortress (mostly in piles of course, but things can be scattered around, in workshops, being hauled etc.) to see what's available. A global inventory screen would really help with this.

When you attract the book-keeper (I think) he gives you access to such a feature. As shown here.

Also note that bringing in the book keeper begins the economy. Be forewarned if youve never faced this foe before...
