Moving Artifacts...
« on: December 19, 2009, 08:52:51 pm »

After a few attempts of removing the artifacts from out of a Bin, I used the method of trading the bin to merchants which cause the Artifacts to be emptied out of the bin and left behind...

Now I want to move them into the new stockpile. There are heaps of Dwarves not doing anything and no one is moving to pick them up and move them...

What am I doing wrong, how do I do it right...

I have been trying to move my first Artifact out of a Bin for so many seasons now. its been nearly 2 years since its been made and everything...

Until it was constructed I had forgotten to make the Stockrooms Artifact free zones, and now I have a Robe inside a Bin. I have tried dumping it, forbidding it and everything, But the damn thing won't come out nor will the damn dwarves move it into the new spot which is the only Artifact friendly place in the whole fort...

What am I doing wrong, how do I do it right...
You might try disabling artifact-level goods in both the 'core quality' and 'overall quality' sections. I don't know what the difference is but it's worth a shot. Also, if you're dumping it remember to use 'enter' or 'v' (don't remember) to select the item individually, otherwise you'll just mark the whole barrel to be dumped.

Try setting up a finished goods stockpile that only accepts artifact quality goods. Set the maximum amount of bins for to be used to zero, then have that stockpile take from the stockpile currently holding the robe.

That should work, I think.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Ok I have the Artifacts out of the Bin by trading the bin itself to merchants. By trading the Bin an Artifact is in will cause the Artifacts to be dumped onto the tile where the bin used to be...

Now to attempt to move them into their new home...
