Destroying depo
« on: October 03, 2010, 11:08:56 am »
If I do it whilst the merchants are there, does it have any bad repercussions?

Food that becomes rotten will generate miasma if you don't move it to a stockpile quickly... the food that you stole by deconstructing the depot.

That's it? You mean the merchants don't give a shit, really?

Cool... and what about the animals in cages, how do I get them out?

Construct a cage using the build menu and tell them to build it using the cage you want opened and hook it up with a lever.

when they get home they're realize they've been hoodwinked.  it might make them angry if you do it enough times.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

They could siege you, but humans and elves don't have much staying power. The spoils of war from humans in particular will be enough to buy their entire caravan's stock when they come crawling back to beg for peace.

Why would you even BOTHER destroying the depot for elves? They use WOODEN WEAPONS! You could probably kill all of them with a recruit!

Or, instead of wasting time and dwarfpower hooking it to a lever, you could get the animals out exactly the same way you'd do it with any other cage: build, "q"uery, de-select currently assigned creature.

Unless you're trying to steal from dwarves, I wouldn't bother deconstructing the Depot.  Just mark what you want and Seize it.  Same end result, but with a lot fewer bins of useless cloth.
