DFHack Createitem Help
« on: August 03, 2016, 01:17:12 pm »

The problem: everytime I use createitem, the item appears on the ground but it disappears after unpausing. <-----Problem here

I use Masterwork but this hasn't happened before. I am 100% sure that all the items I spawn are valid items.

Nevermind. I figured out the problem. Seems to be a bug concerning fastdwarf 1 1 and fastdwarf 0 0.

Case: Items disappears upon unpausing on fastdwarf 1 1. Item stays when fastdwarf 0 0.

Replication: I have no idea. This is the first case in literally hundreds of nearly identical games.

It's not disappearing, it's being stockpiled.

No, its not being stockpiled. If it were, I wouldn't have trouble with locating blocks. I use createitem for blocks and if it were stockpiled, when I ask my dwarfs to build a wall, the blocks aren't there. And the blocks I use are valid blocks as well.

Anyways, I came back to post that the bug is still there. Apparently me spawning items that don't disappear is just a fluke. It doesn't really matter if the dwarves are on fastdwarf 1 1 or fastdwarf 0 0 or any combination.

Try making a block stockpile and using createitem on top of the stockpile.

It must have had something to do with the save. That's the only logical explanation. My newer maps all had no problems with createitem. It must be one of those freak outliers.
