Auto-forbid corpse items
« on: May 31, 2008, 12:02:00 am »
I notice that whenever my markdwarves fire a bolt it becomes forbidden automatically. I was hoping that could be applied to all items dropped when a creature dies to stop the whole "I'm going to walk out into a horde of 30 siegers to loot the one corpse that died in a trap."

t''s so sad.  It''s as if De Beers as invaded Dwarf Fortress.  I nearly cried when I saw how valued and rare diamonds were in Dwarf Fortress.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

No trust me... those single bolts you DON'T ever want your dwarves picking up...

Mostly because they will often pick up the one bolt... run out of ammo... then try to kill whatever they are attacking with their wooden crossbow of weakness.

I however, will rutinely run around and unformid and mark for melting and single bolts I see after a seige.  Sure it's 1/30th of a bar, but eventually I'll get something, and in the mean time, I get to see the grass again.

Actually, isn't there a bug where you get 1/3 of a bar from each bolt?  Or was that disproved?

You got 30 bars per bolt.  And it was fixed a while back.
