Bug Workaround: Reclaiming a Stuck Anvil
« on: July 12, 2008, 11:42:30 pm »

Occasionally when you reclaim a fortress, certain items never seem to be reclaimed. In particular, I had an anvil pratically frozen in place for a full two years. I cursed, kicked and screamed, trying to dump it, forbid it, reclaim it, place furniture piles directly under it...

And eventually in despair, decided to dig a hole under it just to get it out of my lobby. After landing on some poor sod's cabinet, it was immediately picked up and placed in a furniture pile.

I believe it was a bug relating to tile occupancy, so by channeling directly under the anvil and forcing the computer to think about it again, the item was refreshed into use.

I hope this helps you!

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

This is the only way I was able to reclaim an item (wagon+supplies) after reclaiming a fortress.. so sounds good

I've had this happen with logs, but it didn't have anything to do with a reclaim. I had to send them flying with a cave-in.
