making dwarves stay indoors
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:23:46 pm »

i remember there is a way to make dwarves "stay indoors"

whats the command for it?

im looking under "o" but i dont see the "i Civilians or all dwarves can be ordered to stay indoors, which can save lives in a siege. Note that "indoors" actually means subterranean: any "Inside Above Ground" areas will be forbidden just like "Outside" areas." from the old version

im using the new df version btw.

Those options have been removed. You now need to define the interior of your fortress as a burrow, and assign all civilians to it when an attack happens. They will no longer go outdoors then.

There's a new system now. If you go to the military->alerts screen, you can set an alert that restricts all civilians to a specific burrow/burrows. Instead of just preventing them from going outside, you can now designate a fortified bunker deep underground for your dwarves to hide in. Very helpful.
