Is there any way to "clean" the map of debris? I think I got over 500 armors, weapons and other stuff my old parties left behind...Any 3rd party program that can delete stuff or so? Or will everything be destroyed if I dropped it into magma?

[moki]

I don't believe there are such tools... the solutions seems to be magma, as usual. Magma will not melt iron or steel armor, though. In any case, you should submerge the whole map in magma instead of dropping all the single items in
The only other good solution I can think of, are dwarven atom smashers, if you are not inclined to carry all the stuff over half the map

[Zambaku]

How about if I gave everything to those darn dirty elf's? And let them swim around in armor XD

[petersohn]

How do you "give" it to elves?

As moki said, flood the map with magma, then designate the remaining iron/steel items for melting. If you don't have magma, use atom smashers (build one near every pile of items, designate it as dump zone, then dump it).  Or just forbid, hide and forget them.

Well, you'd have to collect it and trade it or offer it, and elves don't bring wagons, so it might be a little heavy. Can you set stockpiles to only get clothes that dwarves can't wear?

[JamPet]

Weapons and armor piles can be set to only accept dwarf-usable or dwarf-unusable stuff, but there is no such option for clothes piles.

Or you could just leave it lying around as a warning to later enemies.  The magma-filled path is often considered the 'dwarvenly' path.  But the lazy path can be dwarvenly too!  With a little bit of luck, the kobolds will steal a few stacks of arrows and you can get some kobold ambushes.

How many reclaims have you done on the same map?

[SquirrelWizard]

A) I'd suggest melting down all the metal stuff you can.
B) you can designate a zone for dumping under a dwarven atom smasher. (bridge that can raise up or down, connected to a lever)
C) Raise Bri.. Atom Smasher.
D) designate all gear that you want destroyed to be dumped d>b>d.
E) Clear the Atom Smasher of dwarves.
F) Pull Lever.

Bam, no more trash problem..

Magma is even more useful then normal in this case, because its sorts stuff.  Non metal (garbage) melts, while goblinite survives for recycling.
