Cancels Load Trap?
« on: August 29, 2011, 09:08:00 pm »
Hey there guys.
I'm having a small problem in game, I just caught a yak bull, using the cage trap. The problem is that I repeatedly get a message saying that an empty cage is needed to re-load the trap. I have plenty of cages made. They aren't forbidden from use and they have nothing in them at all (I used "k" to check). Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you!

My guess would be that the trap or the cages has somehow been blocked from the other. I would also suggest checking to see if the trap itself has been forbidden.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Some burrow strangeness maybe?

Sounds like it!
One thing I've noticed is that a few of my dwarves have ended up on a very strange place on the map. It is not connected to my fortress and they are all just standing around with some animals, and do absolutely nothing. I assume that this is causing the problem, since the dwarf who is trying to set the trap is in this odd region.

This sounds like they're burrowed. Do you have a custom burrow set there for some strange reason?

Actually, if these guys are near a map edge it would suggest that perhaps the front door is locked.
