Trying to make Wood Chute
« on: March 22, 2021, 06:39:21 pm »
So I made a chute so my surface dwarves can toss the wood down it. But nothing I do seems to have the dwarves dumping them. I've tried turning off all activities and then turning them on, and even forbidding everything but the wood but the dwarves rather die of thirst and starvation that dump the wood.

How is your chute set up? Are you using minecarts or dump zones?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Dump zone must be next to the pit, not over it.

Just a quick note for future noobs who are as dumb as me:

Instead of yelling at your lazy dwarves for not dumping lumber in the chute, tell them to gather refuse from outside: o-r-o

It gets me every time.
