Claiming arrows/bolts
« on: July 07, 2012, 05:57:52 am »

How on earth do I do it? When my completely OP blade traps chop the shit out of those gobo's, I can dump and get rid of EVERYTHING except the damn arrows/bolts. How can I use them?

EDIT: To clarify, I claim the bolts/arrows but they still stay in the same spot.

this may sound stupid, but do you have an ammo stockpile that is not set to accept only from links or anything?

don't feel too bad. I still make simple mistakes like that occasionally. Like making a retracting bridge while I really, really needed a raising one there.

I think it's actually here on the first page, that you can't trade most caged creatures. So even unarmed they'd have caused a chaos, but maybe a less bloody chaos.

Hey, if you think you can write a bit, write a story on it over at the general discussion, there's a thread for "funny stories" though they accept "interesting" too

"The bloody traders opened the bloody cages to inspect bloody armed goblin warriors meant for bloody arena death matches! Things turned bloody quickly after that."
