Reclaimed - stuff that won't move
« on: August 15, 2009, 10:57:18 am »
I reclaimed after losing my starting 7, a caravan, and a migration wave to a GCS.
(First live GCS, it didn't disappoint)  :o

So, the army I started off with was great, and I understood starting with all the old stuff at the fort forbidden, but one thing is getting on my nerves.  I've found about 10 stones that can't be moved, used for building, dumped, stockpiled, or otherwise acted on in any way.  They're sitting in the middle of my workshop areas and won't let me rebuild a workshop in that room.  Two of them were where I wanted to build a wall (may have come from a previous wall in fact) and the dwarves complained about the site being blocked.

They're not forbidden, marked to be dumped, stones of a type that can't be worked, or any other "normal" kind of untouchable object.  Why do the dwarves act like they can't see these stones until they try to build something there?  Is it supposed to be this way?

This is another reclaim bug- these stones were designated to be used in a job somewhere before your fortress was destroyed. The only way I know to move them is to channel under the rocks and then re-floor them

I've had this bug, too. For some reason I never thought of channeling under it  ??? . Sometimes I think like a human :-[

And so, little dwarfling if to mayor you rise
never forget to heed this advice
when it's items outdoors, no matter how small
remember remember to forbid them all.

Thanks for the bug confirmation.

Hmm, ok I did think of channeling under them.  A couple are above the walls of magma channels which will make life a little interesting.  Though nothing a little planning can't solve.   8)

If they're that close to magma you could pump some onto the tiles to melt the stones.
