Lil Help?

Easy!

Code: [Select]

++x++
++.++
++++++ means floor, . means channel, x means garbage dump zone.
Mark the stuff you want to get on a quantum stockpile to be dumped. It'll all fit nicely in a 1*1 area. If you want to get the stuff back, just unforbid it and your dwarves will get it if there's a way.

Is the channel necessary? Won't dwarves also quantum pile stuff on flat ground if you make a 1x1 garbage dump zone?

[MC Dirty]

I just tried it. The channel isn't necessary.

No channel needed. Just designate a dump zone on the floor and dwarves will haul to it.

Normally, I designate an actual stockpile on the dump zone and set it for whatever gets dumped there - that way I can unforbid the items and they'll usually stay there, depending on what got dumped. Stuff like stone will stay put, even if there is another open stockpile that will take the item. If you want the dwarves to move it, just set a 'take from pile' and they'll move it as space becomes available. For items that can be binned/barreled, the dwarves will start reshuffling things, so they're a bit harder to keep in the stockpile, but it can still be a good way to clean up after a siege - just mass dump everything inside your defenses to get the dwarves out of danger ASAP and then reclaim it and they'll go off and put things where they belong.

Is that it?

huh. I thought it was something complicated... Oh well.

My plan is to have it set up as such. Dwarves dump it down channel. It falls onto a spot that has a Stone Stockpile on it. This is directly behind a Mason's workshop. I'll only dump decent rock.

Microline and shit like that is taking a long dump off my short magma Pier.

I've been playing videogames since I was four (I think my first game ever was Quake 1) and my dad builds computers and makes videogames for a living, so that may explain why I'm young yet still savvy/experienced enough to Dwarf it to the max.

Wth... that sounds like my life and family >.>

except im 19, and my dad doesn't make video games yet he does own his own computer store (thats where I am now) and also I have plenty of knowledge on computers.

My first game was probably Zelda for the SNES but I really enjoyed Quake, in fact me and dad made maps for it.

But I dwarf it up constantly, in fact the only thing stopping me from doing it now, besides working is that this computer is shit XD

Goddamn...

[zchris13]

Oh yeah man totally this one time...

[LegacyCWAL]

One time, at band camp...

...I set an Elf on fire.  His screaming sounded like a flute.

... A flute wearing wooden armour, with the flesh of intelligent Humanoids in his gut and a desire to capture and torture animals...
