Ability to designate forbidden area
« on: January 26, 2007, 11:03:00 am »
...just what it says: it'd be nice to be able to use the 'd'esignate command to mark forbidden areas, like when you know a cave-in is coming.  It could basically be the opposite of the Reclaim designation, since the green areas in an unclaimed fortress seem to do exactly what 'forbidden' areas should do.

the future "burrows" feature may address this request. or just uilding frequently spaced doors might help you, too.

Yeah, this is going in at some point.  There have been some threads.  Might go in before burrows, since it's easier to handle.
