Bugs? Lye barrels, weapons, ballista
« on: September 20, 2006, 12:10:00 pm »

Hey, here are some things I have noticed that might be bugs:

1) I have made lye, but the game refuses to use the lye to make potash, claiming it needs a lye bearing item. What I have noticed is, that the lye in this case is in decorated barrels, does this mean something?

2.1) Another thing is that my dwarfs refuse to pick up and store weapons left by goblins, theres always couple of weapons lying around from their sieges. And I do have free space  to store weapons.

2.2) More weapon stuff. Sometimes the dwarves go all the way to the upperleft portion of the map to collect weapons, once I caught them bringim an iron pick. Also the weapon is not present on the map, or on the ground.

3) When an ballista has fired, and you dont have extra ballista arrows, the dwarves spam  
no ammunition.

1) Yeah, decorated containers are bugged right now and make their contents invisible to jobs.

2.1) Are they weapons that you can normally produce?  I think there's a "foreign" objects setting in the rack [q] view that can help, though I'm not sure and it might not work.

2.2) Yeah, the top left bug is something that seems to be an issue with the equipment pickup job.  Once it happened when an item was on top of a work shop square.  It's like they can get at inaccessible items by going to 0,0, rather than it cancelling the job.  Probably straightforward to fix.

3)  On to-do with the rest of the spams...  handling them slowly.
