Pedestals/display cases?
« on: November 29, 2017, 07:47:58 pm »
The wiki says I should be able to build pedestals from various workshops, but it is not listed in my menu, nor is it available via the manager order screen.

I built a display case in a carpenter shop, but it won't let me build it saying "No display objects", despite my having a number of artifacts and masterworks to display.

Is anyone else having this issue?  Help?

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

what's your graphics set? Some early versions were installed improperly, and didn't allow you to make them.

Yeah, I recall seeing in a few posts that some graphics sets/DF starter pack things didn't have the raws properly set.

This turned out to be the problem.  My fort that I was very invested in had the old, bad raws from LNP 44.01/Phoebus, so now there's no way to make that fort produce such items.

OK, now I have a different problem... I have an artifact that shows on the display list.  I displayed it on a pedestal, took it off to move it, and now it won't display anywhere else.  It is sitting in the stockpile and all it will give is a "Job item lost or destroyed" message.

Any ideas from other artifact-displayers?

Yes, it seems if you stopped displaying it, some flag isn’t being cleared, as you can never display it again.  Happened to all my original books when I moved my library.  Now they just sit on the floor and all the jobs to display them show inactive.   Tried forbidding, deconstructing, display one at a time, etc.  the only ones that will display are new ones.

Ah, so known bug.  Do you happen to know if anyone has opened a ticket for it on Mantis?
