remember that bug where items get pushed by magma or water still exist but disappear from view?

i found a way to counter it using another bug

build a wall or floor near the disappeared items, then deconstruct it. BAM, watch as items materialize under where the deconstrcuted wall/floor and are visible again

the bug is also useful of getting items out of sealed rooms (like the magma wash chamber)

BRILLIANT

Why didn't I think of that?

I am intrigued.  I'm off to pull stuff out of a pond.

I am of the opinion that genius and insanity are actually quite similar. This post only strengthens that opinion.

You can accomplish the same thing without using a bug.  Simple mass designate the area for dumping d->b->d->dragbox (if above ground first do o->r->o).  Make sure you have a dump zone active (use i->enter->enter, then q->g on the zone).

Tested it out.  Dug a pit next to the pond.  Built a wall and deconstructed it.  Pulled all the stuff out of the water.  Win!

This is my new favorite bug feature.  I hate stuff getting stuck in the bottom of ponds.

JerBear strips off the cloak in the dining room before running all the way into the mines to die of dehydration.

Would a bridge work?  Pull lever, it scatters items, causing them to move and making them visible?

Huh. So that item-teleporting thing isn't DFhack-related side effects, but actually a bug in the game? This is good to know.

i dont have a bridge at the bottom of my magma washer... only ramps and floor bars
i discovered this while changing the wall layout at the bottom of my washer

In fact, DFhack comes with a fix for the bug. Try "binpatch apply deconstruct-teleport"
