Prisoners in cages
« on: April 27, 2011, 11:34:28 am »

Hey guys, just curious as to how i get the prisoners in cages to drop their equipment?


I've tried Dumping them into a dump zone then reclaiming them, its not doing anything. Any help please!

I'm just starting to do this myself, but I'm pretty sure you need to do a d-b-c to claim the items first (since the things belonging to them start out forbidden), THEN do the d-b-d to dump, then un-dump the cage.

(Then of course reclaim them from the dump.)

Like ^ says, you need to reclaim forbidden stuff to do anything with them. and anything includes dumping.

I usually just designate their equipment for melting, it works just as fine.

Seems to be the way with things on this forum; if an invention doesn't involve death by magma then you know someone's going to go out of their way to make sure it does involve death by magma... then it gets acknowledged as being a great invention.
