Today I decided to embark after accidentally channeling a river into my old fort. When I got to my destination the game told me it had discovered a cave. I thought to my self "good for you" until I saw the cave. It was practical covered in food stuff! I used Reveal and found out giants were living in it. Not one to miss a big chance for 6 years worth of food I got Runesmith and killed the giants (Because I knew a novice axedwarf would never stand a chance ) and promptly claimed every thing.

As I was digging an extensive ware house i got a message. [Woodcutter Dwarf Cancels Store Item: Job Item Misplaced(Something to that effect)] I then looked at the cave and there was a giant plume of miasma flowing out! all hauling was promptly stopped and I killed DF with task manager.

Is there any way to stop the mass rotting or do I have to live with it? It even started rotting in the cave when I assumed it wouldn't! I also assumed it was a glitch or something because all that food wouldn't just appear and then rot all at the same time, would it? I estimate there is at least 140 food stuff and 30 finished goods so I really want a solution badly!

Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you!

So... you used two different hacking utilities and now aren't happy because miasma appeared from rotting corpses?

i knew some one would say that well i dont hack alot...

make a food stockpile underneath the scattered foodstuff. It will stop it from rotting, then just get rid of it little by little.

A novice axedwarf can kill forgotten beasts, why not a couple rats?

And I never lie.

It is natural for food NOT in a stockpile to rot. So, as posted, the solution is to zone where the food to be collected is as a food stockpile.

The rotting and miasma has nothing to do with his hack utilities. That happens in a regular game.

You can get rotting food in a trade depot if the trade depot is underground. You don't get the miasma from the rot until the dwarves start taking the rotting food items out, and then drop them to go get a bit of booze or sleep or eat.
