I've been thinking about making homes for my adventurers in Fortress mode. The possibilities are endless, from small houses, to manors and mansions, to massive castles. Primarily, I want to know if dumping your stuff in an abandoned fortress will cause it to disappear, or if it will still be there when you return.

Share ideas.

itll be there but scattered around, and some monsters will inhabit it. If you kill the monsters, pile the stuff, and raise the drawbridge to the outside world[wich youll obviously be needing so no monsters can go boo in the night.] you should be good. I've had this thought as well.

Welcome to Urist-town retirement homes. Our friendly, cat-based staff will cater to your every whim while you relax in this heavily forested biome. You can take a quick dip in our magma heated spas. Keep your skills, and you blade sharp in our monitored arena, complete with video playback, so you can see yourself own. For dwarfs who still like a challenge, enter the HFS for fun and excitement. Afterwards, visit the bar and lounge for a few beers, or maybe even flaming booze.

Urist-town retirement homes. You maybe old, but you can still live life to it's fullest.

I-... I think I have a new megaproject.

A town for adventurers?

[Jackrabbit]

A mansion for adventurers.

[Smew]

A mansion for adventurers.

Complete with a fun underground sidequest with traps and magma.

You could trap hundreds of goblins, chain them up to individual levers, and use them as practice in an arena.

[Kay]

I take it you would still need to Retire in a town to avoid starvation, though?

[Chewykittens]

You could build the homes next/under a town.

[Vester]

That's a fantastic idea. And you'll have the most kickass house in the town, too.

I thought chained and caged creatures died on abandon.

[alfie275]

No, they are released.

I have attempted this b4:
To make sure items stay in one place you must weigh them down with heavy goods.
I noticed armor and weapon racks don't move at all, so their contents remain intact.
Pressure plates don't work but levers do.
Corpses Trophies rot away if they are not stored in a container -which even when (B)uilt in fort mode still move around with weight as a factor.
Adventurers can't retire there, so you can't have more than one hanging around at a time.
When building, make sure you make the site as small as possible as when in adventure mode digging around a 6x6 site for a house that takes up 1x1 is very frustrating.
Make sure it is near a human town so commodities can be easily bought and sold, especially if you Play Now to appear at your recently abandoned house -naked.
Which also comes to the point of making sure you have a change of clothes in one of those chests or you may have to find one of your old settler's milling around and pull a terminator.

EDIT: I only just realized how many times i said "make sure", i should prolly make sure not to say "make sure" as often.

I'd say storing everything that is needed in one large stockpile of lead bins should be enough to prevent stuff scattering around.
