Confusion about Depots
« on: November 30, 2009, 09:06:35 am »
So, can wagons not access depots that are underground? Part of my current fortress design has my depot isolated underground so that it's well away from my fortress defenses and can be easily isolated in the event of a seige, and yet when checking the depot accessibility, apparently the entire map is inaccessible to wagons and so is my depot.

I have a woodcutter walking around who cancels his jobs and passes out every once and a while because he lost 3 of his 8 lungs

Depots most certainly can be accessed underground - if yours is inaccessible, zoom to its location and view (D)epot accessibility to see where the obstacle is (depot accessibility travels outward from the depot itself).

Remember that wagons cannot travel up or down stairs - in order for them to get underground, you must use ramps.

(edit: typo fix)

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

They can't use stairs?

Crap. That would be the problem then. Right. I'll have to fix this...somehow. (Probably just by locating the depot somewhere else.

They're WAGONS. They don't have feet. How could you expect them to use STAIRS?!

It's like letting nobles live. Easy to do, but wrong.

(except the DM. He's cool.)

I'm spoiled by other games that let you do such things.

Not quite, but there are other games that allow you to do ridiculous things like let wagons use stairs.
