DF 40d, Lever not working after reclaim, FIXED
« on: December 26, 2009, 04:05:03 pm »
During my first fortress at the area, I made a secret lever to enable some floodgates, I then sealed it behind a wall.

After reclaiming and breaking open the wall, I couldn't see the lever, just the rock it was originally made of, A digger stood next to the lever, trying to dig it out without success. I then dug around and the lever was revealed.

Now when I try to pull the lever, no-one ever does, its been in the order menu for over 2 years, and there are 50 dwarf idling at times, yet no one has pulled it.

Is the lever forbidden?  Have you checked its (P)rofile to make sure someone's allowed to pull it?  Could the lever have been marked for deconstruction before you reclaimed the fortress?  Can you mark it for deconstruction now?

CARP, I didn't know buildings could be

Locking the thread now

Bit of a UI issue though, the only way to claim it was through the designation menu

EDIT, unlocking, the lever is fixed but there is still the bug of it not showing until I mined around it instead of just removing the wall.

Reloading a save game, K'ing over where the lever should be shows no description, even though I removed the wall next to it

Yeah, that's this bug, I should have mentioned it earlier:

# 001015 □ [dwarf mode][jobs][constructions]    (Report) removing a constructed wall in a reclaimed fort does not reveal the hidden areas beyond properly
# 001080 □ [dwarf mode][jobs][constructions]    (Report) removing constructions does not remove hidden areas after reclaim

As for the UI, you should be able to 't' over the lever to see the items used to build it.

Yeah, thanks for that.

Well now that everything else is sorted, I might as well lock
