Weird spawn on reclaim.....
« on: February 19, 2008, 12:32:00 pm »

Seems all the dwarves spawned on the same square at the edge of the map.  And the wagon is nowhere to be seen.

I have the save if you want it.

Did the wagon spawn outside my map?? No scutlle message so it isnt here anywhere.

I noticed one of my saves does that right before this last release, so I won't need yours.   I have no idea why it happens though.

Is the middle of the map too cluttered for a wagon to be placed, and was there enough room where your dwarves appeared for the wagon? Only time I've had something similar to this was when I made a 3x10 over the ocean, which placed my wagon at the northernmost edge of the map, where there almost wasn't a straight enough edge for it to fit right up against the ocean. Wasn't a reclaim, though, was just a normal embark.

Yeah i was thinking that might be why, it happened after several serious battles on reclaims with the demons the ground was littered everwhere with all kinds of stuff.  If thats it maybe you can make the wagon move items to an adjacent tile or cruch them like a bridge when its placed, if that is why this happens anyhow.


I wonder if I can go see if the wagon is indeed on the adjacent map, ill c if i can find it in adventure mode.

To find out if there's indeed no space left, build a depot and look for wagon accessibility.  All you need is one green square, and there's space enough for a wagon.
