Items placed on unreachable river bank
« on: June 25, 2007, 01:26:00 am »

Just recently i abandoned a fortress that never once crossed the river, nor placed any bridges onto it... Yet when i "play now!" in adventure mode and get to the river, there are items on the small river banks, making them UNREACHABLE!

This also means that all of my artifacts and masterpeices that are present in the fortress are also probably doing the exact same thing, only this time they're on the magma rivers' banks... Thus, totally unreachable.  :(


It's fairly easy to replicate as well, i think. Just start up a game, play for a while until enough items get produced to cover some of the floor, then abandon and "Play now!" Move to the river bank, and you'll probably see clothing and whatever you made on those small and unreachable areas dotting the sides of the river.

Did you use reveal.exe? That might make the tiles available if they are otherwise unreachable.

There may be a solution to your problem. If you stay on the map for a long time and don't go to sleep you will eventually go insane/melancholy. This will allow you to jump in the water and go for a swim.

It does a check for small unreachable components and shouldn't place items on them, but there have been a few reports that this is broken now.  It's one of the issues on the dev_notes list.

As long as the items actually exist though, you could add Flyer/Swimer tokens to your race's file for a moment to retrieve the items.

Hardly the ideal solution, I know, but you'll get your items.
