can't get alerts and burrows to work
« on: August 22, 2012, 08:50:26 am »

i followed the guide. this is what i can do:

designate burrow area
add people to the burrow
added the burrow to the alert screen
turned the alert on so that my dwarves all go to the designated area

and then I'm stuck, as the dwarves won't leave the alert area even after i set it back to inactive

help please

It's because for an alert you only have to create the burrow. DON'T add anyone to it.  Setting the alert does that for you.

Note that not only do you have to set the civilian alert, but the burrow name on the list on the right side should have an active mark 'A' next to it.  The burrow must be activated and the alert must be activated.

Dwarves added to a burrow are restricted there permanently, whereas an alert restricts everyone while active.
