[40d8] Stolen food isn't eaten
« on: January 10, 2009, 10:45:02 am »
My dwarves are hungry and couldn't get to the trade depot in time, so in the interest of the state I sealed the traders in and started stripping them of their goods via 'd'ump. I've reclaimed the goods, and the food is being put into stockpiles, but I still get messages like "Imush Mengdur, Carpenter, cancels Give Food: no food available."

 Also my status screen shows no meat and no plants even though I can see them sitting right there in the stockpile.

It might still "belong" to the traders.  Kill them and see if improves things.

Even after they left it didn't show up in the stocks menu. But my crops finally started coming in and I traded legitimately for some food from the next caravan, so it's all good.

I think you need to acquire the goods by telling the trader that you are commandeering them, unfortunately these unfairly gained items cannot be traded, so don't accept any large clothing etc.
