[39e] Untouchable Equipment
« on: August 01, 2008, 07:22:35 pm »
Ok, this one has a bit of back story, because I don't know what is causing it.

I started using Embark Anywhere in a mountains-only tile.  It was also 'sinister' and thus I locked myself in the fort and didn't come out for a while, except for short excursions.

Anyway, kobolds have ambushed my forts a number of times in the past, which may be important.

Recently, I found a pile of dwarf-sized clothing under a door to the outside.  It's all in good condition and not forbidden.  I have space in my stockpiles and clothing is allowed.  I also have upwards of 40 idlers at any given moment.

These clothes have not been picked up for literally years.  I've tried marking them for dumping, marking them forbidden, unmarking both, taking the door down, rebuilding the door (moves them to the tile next to it but nothing else), and just waiting.

Nothing will move the clothes.  Do clothes rot eventually?

I had a simmilar problem. I started a fort in a terrifying biome, and all my dwarves were killed. Then I reclaimed it, and even through I unforbid everything, the stone the dead dwarves had dug out is impossible to move; I´ve switched it on and off the forbidden-unforbidden tag to no effect.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Reclaim mode leaves bugged items. These items are just stuck, though I have heard that they can be reclaimed by channeling out under them, as apparently it forces the game to reconsider the item thus making it unstuck.

My problem wasn't in reclaim mode.  At least, it wasn't yet.  HFS was 'fun'.

A lot of the time, clothing left on the ground or abandoned by someone will be reclaimed and thus owned by people. I've noticed that items on the ground that are designated to be dumped, if they are owned, are not dumped by anyone (see: wrestlers yanking each other's clothes off and leaving them in the barracks) and instead are just left there.

Ah, ok.  That's possible.

How annoying.
