Animal Training and Seeds (Latest version)
« on: May 20, 2010, 11:05:38 am »

I've been capturing elephants for a while now on my most recent fortress, and I've noticed that animal trainers tend to leave their seeds inside the cages even after the tame elephants have been released. Said cages then are read by the game as being occupied, and not used for traps. How do I remove seeds from cages?

The same way as in 40d. There's two methods, actually:

1. Place a garbage dump activity zone, then mark the seeds (but not the cage) for dumping; afterwards, reclaim the seeds so they can be stored in bags.
2. Build the cages, link them to a lever, then pull the lever; the contents should be dumped out onto the floor.
