Uncage bought cattle?
« on: December 21, 2010, 06:55:52 am »

I bought a cow and bull to add to my current cow, however i can't figure out how uncage them.  On DF Wiki it says press q and simply release the animal, yet when i press q and move close to or even on the cage and all i get is nothing or the closest workshop or stockpile.

How do i uncage bought cattle?

Create a barracks by placing an armour stand, weapon rack, or cabinet (I think) in a room, and then designating the squad to [t]rain there.  Also, if you put the weapons and armour stockpiles in there, you can also have them do ndividual and s[q]uad equipping there.
