Dwarves won't dump into hole...
« on: June 11, 2012, 08:31:12 pm »

I wanted to get rid of some pest remains and decided on atom smasher and built it like this:

Code: [Select]
=====ZO
=====BB

So above I have a channeled out hole (O), and a garbage dump zone (Z) right next to it.
Below that I have a tunnel with a 2-tile long bridge (B) that raises <- that way. I have it raised, so I imagined the dwarves would dump the remains into the whole, right where the second (B) is. Then I slam the bridge down and poof! no more remains.

But for some reason the remains are sitting untouched, no dwarf wants to dump them. They all have refuse hauling enabled, and lots of them have no jobs, so what gives?[/code]

Are the remains outside? If so, are the dwarves set to gather refuse and vermin remains from outside?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
