Trading is low-priority.  To force him to trade, first make sure you've set for a trader to be requested at the depot.  Then create a burrow that covers just the burrow and assign your trader to it.  Remember to unassign him from the burrow when trading is done.

Actually, I would recommend temporarily removing the broker's other labors.  This is efficient if you use Dwarf Therapist.

However, the burrow idea has one advantage, if I recall correctly: even people with no hauling labors turned on will still carry goods to the depot.  (Correct me if I'm wrong.)  But even so, there's not much of a problem with that: personally, I like it when goods are brought to the depot before my broker tries to trade them.

Hi people,

Can anybody say me how to release a creature from the cage i"ve bought. I found that i can melt the cage and thus the creature becomes free but i do not like this way because the cage is destroyed obviously.
Playing 0.31.18 version. Sorry, if it was asked before - there are too any pages written.

[Jorshamo]

Build the cage with b, j, then unassign the creature from the cage.

well in theory this is for dwarfs to store their military equipment in if you enable it for their squad and have them set to inactive: civ. clothes instead of inactive: uniformed. So instead of bringing their equip to the armor and weapon stockpile when turning into civilians, they store it in the barracks in the weapon and armor racks to be able to deploy quicker another time. Well that's the theory. In game it doesn't seem to work yet, and haulers will take the equip to the stockpile anyway or the soldiers wont use the armor stands and weapon racks. The individual equip is for the dwarfs civilian clothes, to make him leave them in the barracks instead of carrying them to his room.
Imho just set the dwarfs to wear armor all the time and replace their normal clothing with it.
Doesn't work well with dwarfs that use tools tho

How do i trade away artifacts?  all their good for is getting stolen and i wanna give the traders a massive profit to get the immigrant waves flowing again.

[Sphalerite]

Artifacts cannot be traded.

Thanks, but it says that someone "cancels release Small animal: Need empty trap". What kind of trap i should use and for what, if i merely need a cage?

[proxn_punkd]

Vermin can't be released.

Is it a universal truth among dwarves, that hatches cannot be destroyed from below?

[FuzzyZergling]

Is it a universal truth among dwarves, that hatches cannot be destroyed from below?

I don't know of any way for it to be done, so I'm going to say yes.

I should asked this more explicitly above, but... does that mean that even a Fell Beast isn't coming up a hatched-off stairway?
