Blocked door
« on: November 25, 2007, 12:51:00 pm »
I need to lock a door so I can flood my farms, but there is a rock in the way. Is there any way to get the dwarves to specifically move that rock? I have plenty of stone piles, but there are also a few hundred other rocks lying around, so waiting for them to do this at random isn't really going to work out so well. (We just barely got through the winter and I'm about out of food, so I really need to get this farm going soon...)

I should add I'm playing version 0.23, not the new one...

Dismantle the door and rebuild it. They'll remove the rocks.

Easier way to do it. Designate an activity zone for [g]arbage dumping, then loo[k] at the rock and designate it for [d]umping. A dwarf with refuse hauling will grab it, throw it in the dump, and forbid it - you can reclaim the rock later.

EDIT: Gah, forgot that you're playing the older version - in that case, yeah, rebuild the door.
Should really think about moving on up, though   :D
