Exporting Goblins
« on: March 24, 2012, 09:54:17 pm »

I've run into some trouble with setting up a goblin export industry. Whenever I set the caged goblins to be brought to the depot, the cages were sent and the goblins were very distinctly not sent to the depot. They just kind of ran around and got killed by guards. How can I start selling goblins?

This is very old. Ordering the movement of a cage to the depot will release all creatures inside it. IIRC there is no workaround.

You can strip them naked by dumping the animal stockpile, then undumping the cages manually, then reclaiming the dumped weapons and armor. Sell that.

What do you do with 50 naked goblins once you're done?

This is an ancient bug - basically you can't trade anything living because only the cage will be hauled. Instead you need to figure out what to do with them on site.

I think this is due to be fixed soon anyway or has been fixed with 34.06, not sure.

Just an addendum; tame caged animals can be hauled and traded just fine.

Thank you. I was going to state this.
