How to move refuse out of general stockpile
« on: July 27, 2011, 03:58:35 pm »
I have a general stockpile (everything allowed but: wood, stone, refuse, and corpses) yet, rat remains are in my general stockpile. I have another pile nearby for refuse and corpses, for some reason though no dwarves are moving the remains. After looking at all the different options for the rat remains (tried "dumping" it, whatever that means, I let the game go for over a minute with a rat remains marked as dumping but it was not moved).

Here is a picture: http://i.imgur.com/EUmKy.png

The left circle is the rat remains in my general stockpile, the circle on the right is where they should be.

How do I get them there?

Turn on gathering of refuse from outside.  press 'o' - 'r' - 'o'.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

In case anyone else has this question and follows the o - r - o advice, you must also press v after the second o, to make o - r - o - v, or else the animal remains will be ignored.
