HELP! PURPLE!
« on: July 05, 2008, 09:13:17 pm »
I have some rotten cow meat stew in the middle of my dining room.  My cleaners won't get it and if I dump it nothing happens--and I believe that's because it's actually an owned rotten cow meat stew.  A marksdwarf lays claim.  Even if I forbid the item, they still *own* it.  How do I fix this (without killing the marksdwarf).

Wall off the area it's in until the stew is completely gone, then destroy the walls.

That's the kind of kick to the head I needed.  Walling off wasn't a good option, but I was able to just dig a channel under it.

 Thanks!

 "How do I mine for fish?"

 Which hopefully will be possible sometime in the future. Heck, I would laugh if Toady adds a rare gem that creates fish when mined.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Doppel has been ecstatic lately. He took joy in playing DF lately. He slept on a rough cave keyboard recently.
He is a member of the Dwarf Fortress Forums.
Doppel likes the color Dark Blue, cats for their aloofness and girls for their silky soft brea beards.
He appreciates art and natural beauty.

Does this count?:

I dug out the riverbanks from a brook and a lot of the surrounding ground with my miners which caused the water and carps (!) spread out on a large area. Then came winter and everything froze, including the carps to the glacier. Then I proceeded to mine the carps off the glacier with picks.

This all happened, while I was trying to drown my dwarves in one of my first forts ever called Barbdoctrine the Bad Arrow-Loaf of Anger. Now I tend to call it the Swimming School because it has shallow water everywhere.

Wasn't there something on the wiki about smelting cows?
