mrbaggins, build at least a 1x3 atom smasher, in  1x4 room, with stairs leading to a room above it. Channel out a hole above the bridge. Connect a lever to the bridge, and pull it. Now designate the hole, 1x2, as a garbage dump. Then place a hatch, over the stairs, to prevent dwarfs from getting squished.
Code: [Select]

       wwwwwwwwwt=tunnel
w=unexcavated  stuff
f=floor
b=bridge
the gap on first line is a hole,lol
d/u is stairway

 Its nice to set it up, near your main entrance. Deactivate your other garbage ares, (usually quantum stockpiles), and your dwarves will have a quicker route to dump worthless enemy in the CDU

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,

Just sell it to caravans.  Or decorate it all and sell it.

Fredd, the problem is that the dwarves have claimed the clothing, so dumping/pitting doesn't actually make them move the crap.

Is the stuff outside from killed enemies?  You need to go to the Orders, Forbid and claim death items.

I do lots of killing direct dwarf on goblin outside the walls of my fort.  I've built several outside atomsmashers to reduce the time it takes for dwarves to haul it in and eliminate it.  After every siege there is a massive cleaning and dumping party.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Even if you SPEED:0 to collect it, you'll always get more. It gets out of hand fast.

The best solution is probably to just kill all invaders with a magma trap. Less fun and some leather bits don't seem to burn up tho.
Is there any way to make a drowning trap that flushes the goblin clothing and body parts directly on a DAS?

The problem with magma is that it won't melt the iron the goblins leave behind, which can form a good fraction of the loot left behind.

Building a flush trap is possible, but probably annoying to build. I've never made one, consult a plumber about it.

Why is iron a problem? You can easily melt that stuff. It's clothing that gets claimed but never worn, or similarly, clothing that gets replaced and the old stuff just gets dropped and never moved again.

There needs to be a way to force-move an item. Like how soldiers can be burrowed, or you can station them, but for stockpiles vs force-move.
