Starting fires/deleting items - commands?
« on: September 22, 2016, 03:36:52 pm »

Is there any command available in current MDF that would allow me to start fire or delete items on the cursor?

I know there is campfire, but using option with 9 logs burns dwarf as well.

Caravan horse panicked and dropped all their stuff in the corner of the map. Items are bugged and undumpable no matter what.

didnt retireing a fort throw items all over the place?
but that might have been if you loose a fort and reembark that then everything is scattered everywhere.

i would guess that there probably is some df hack command for deleting things.

I cannot find it.

Items are from merchant horse arriving in evil biome with naga blood rain.
so far dwarves drunk all the booze from barrels (forbidden or marked for dumping didn't stop them), smiths melted all the items, but the rest of crap is simply sitting idle and no dwarf tries to stockpile it.

I had a lot of mixed thoughts when I saw a child bathing in blood trying to get to a toy that was in this pile, while there was a siege locked by drawbridges on the other side of the map.

I want the items gone - but can't find the dfhack command for that :(

a quick google etc did lead to:
http://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/Plugins.html#autodump

but i have no idea how dfhack works atall, so cant really help in how to use it or if its even that usefull...
seems to be normally be used with stock piles to dump stuff... but the autodump-destroy-here thingy seems to destroy things where the cursor is on...maybe... or something marked in a list or so... well as i said i dont really know how to use dfhack... so maybe backup your save file and experiment around a bit.

Nelia, many thanks for this command.

After I used autodump and reclaimed items, dwarves finally began moving some of them into stockpiles.
Not that I needed that stuff for anything, it was just bothering me being bugged :)
The rest I destroyed.

Thanks again  :D

They are usually keybound to control-k and control-shift-k - 'k' to looks, 'd' to mark dumpable, 'control-k' to "mark destroyed", it'll actually disappear when you move the cursor or escape.  Control-shift-k if there are multiple items on a space to mark destroyed at once.
