some elves with quantum backpacks (about a hundred screens of complete junk) decided to never leave, so Forgetting the massive amount of junk i destroy the Depot... Now my stock piles filled with arrows, wooden weapons, above ground seeds and my guys are more focused on bringing the junk inside, I mean really WHO NEEDS 100 buckets! i have enough crutches to span the earth 42 times, what do i do!

[Tarran]

Apply magma. No, really. Anything you throw down there should burn.

[Psychoceramics]

forbid everything and then cave it into the magma sea.

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

Buy the next dwarven caravan that comes along. The whole caravan.

[Max White]

But then the poor merchants will have to walk home!

[Wh1tefang12]

Im going with the wait it out idea, where the items are cannot be flooded or dropped because it would cause way too much fun, such as  punching a giant hole to the underground, and making !!Dwarf!! bars.

They can walk home on the crutches you sell them.

[Wh1tefang12]

I don't think we have that many traders

If the liason can hang onto 4 weapons and a shield when he visits, he can damn well learn to quad-wield crutches instead.

They can walk home on the crutches you sell them.

Or they could construct a giant contraption that moves out of the crutches and become the DF version of an AT-AT!
All fear the Dwarven Merchants!

So that's how one goes about becoming a legendary crutch walker.

Aww, poor fella. Instead of just setting some stonecrafter to churn out stuff to buy whatever you wanted from caravans, you destroy the depots to magically get all their stuff, and then it had bad consequences!

Serves you right. But yeah, magma will probably take care of 99% of it.

[Dave Mongoose]

I had the opposite... some elves that were announced as leaving even though they were all dead (from goblin ambush).

"The traders from someelfretreat will be leaving soon"
Ohh no they won't: not until the dwarven caravan comes to buy my elf skull idols...

[Cheshire Cat]

you can mass forbid items with d then b then d. im pretty sure thats the keyboard shortcut. you can also mass dump items this way, if you drop them through a hole in a ceiling above a raised bridge you can atom smash them all, or you can drop them into magma if you have access to it.

i tend to give absurd numbers of captured items or crafts away as gifts to the dwarves or humans, and just stockpile the masterwork ones.

[Dzenaiya]

Dang, Cheshire beat me to it. Although forbid is d-b-f, not d-b-d... dbd is dump, dbf is forbid. Setting it for dumping will STILL occupy your dwarves with chucking it all into the rubbish pile.
