Hey guys,

classic DFHack used to have a command to move items like wood and arrows out of water to adjacent tiles. Since DFHack probably needs some time to be adjusted to the new version, I wanted to ask if there is some other workaround for this. Just want to "clean up" my area if that's a possibility...

First, you’ll need to drain the water…

I think if you're in temperate or colder you could also probably wait for it to freeze and dig the ice in the area (if it's outdoors). Gonna test that here shortly since I have some corpses in the river...

It's a warm biome and I am talking about a river. I know that I can drain bodies of water but I was rather hoping for a simple command/cheat that I can use to move those items. Guess I'll have to wait for the DFHack update...

Got access to magma? Steel?
Cast obsidian over the items, then tunnel it out.

I have to try this!

Should work I think - I managed to get some wood that way in my stagnant pools. My problem was the dwarf I wanted to retrieve was in the river and I hadn't realized they actually get eventually swept further down with the current, so he was no longer where I went to dig him out!

Oh well, he ended up with an engraved slab anyhow since he had risen in the meantime. If anyone wants to mourn at his actual body they can go fishing or something. XD

I confirm, it works.
I digged a lot of space in the ice, building meanwhile a wall around the area where the stuff to recover was, to prevent water to fill again the hole and my dorfs.
Thanks for the idea Stormfeather!

No problem, glad it helped!
