okay, the way items are thrown around on a reclaimed fortress is fucking ridiculous. I'm tired of spending a year and a half on a reclaim just gathering up rock blocks from 20z levels underground which, apparently, the goblins have felt the need to drag up to the surface and throw around like they're in a rock-skipping competition.

suggestion : either items are moved, at most, 5-10xy levels, with valuable items looted, or the items that formerly would be strewn around are just destroyed?

i get the effect - the fortress is in disarray due to abandoment - but why the hell would pumps in storage be dragged to the top of a nearby hill and left to rot? why are beds from the sleeping quarters thrown into my reservoir? ETC

Goblins like to party hard, but they don't like to clean up.

As for the bed in the reservoir, trust me, you don't want to sleep on that bed anymore.

should this be in the suggestion forum instead?

whoops, probably. i thought i was posting there!

regardless this 'feature' is annoying at best and completely destroys reclaims at worst. i understand having to rebuild a fortress, but on large (8x8 maps or above), it's a huge gamebreaker.

it wouldn't be so much of an issue if dwarves could haul more than one light-weight object at once..

Then reclaim what's close at hand and ignore the rest. Frankly the only reason I see to reclaim a fort rather than start from scratch is that the rooms are tunneled out already. Having some scattered items within reach is just a bonus and anything out of reasonable reach I just don't bother to reclaim.
