Can you stop stuff getting scattered when you abandon?
« on: September 17, 2010, 10:11:00 pm »
My fortress is currently in the middle of a tantrum spiral, and I'd like to abandon and reclaim it because I've gone to a lot of effort to pump magma and I don't want to waste it. The thing is, I've got a sizable stockpile of adamantium armour that I'd really rather wasn't scattered across the countryside. Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening if I abandon the fort?

Stuff it all in lead bins. The heavier the object the less likely it is to move.

Hm. I'll try that, thanks. Now to find some Galena...

... actually, according to http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Metal, gold and platinum are denser, and I've got lots of gold on hand.

Adamantium in gold bins. Seems fitting.
