Thieving human scum!
« on: May 29, 2010, 04:06:44 pm »
So some traders show up at my fort. They're at the depot waiting. I notice a human hammerman is hauling some soap. "Odd" I thought. "What is he doing? Did a wagon drop that or something?" He puts the soap down near the depot and wanders off. Curious, I follow him around and see him do none other than walk up the the hospital in my tower and GRAB SOME SOAP FROM MY STOCKPILE and haul it down the the ground level. There was a fair bit of soap down there so he must have been doing it for a while. I issued a "kill order" (although it doesn't do anything) and he seems to have stopped. But how shall I deal with these guys?

Hi!

Is there a potential water source near where he dropped the soap? Maybe he used it to clean himself...

Nope, doesn't seem like it. The traders have left. I thought he left with him, but apparently he's still here relocating my soap to random places outside my fort.

Maybe he just really likes soap. Or really doesn't like that I have soap.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

Could we conceivably stop FBs and HFS critters from ever getting to our fortress by having a water source and soap stockpile down by the magma sea?

This thread should be retitled "Human thieving (soap)scum!"

The goblins are doing it too now! They're locked out at the gates and are occupying themselves with moving around my soap out there.

Muahahahah. Now, set up a courtyard with a water source, a soap stockpile... and a huge number of catapults pointed at the stockpile (behind fortifications)

For added fun, allow catapults to use soap

Obsessive compulsive caravan guard?

As soon as he saw soap, he needed to move it to a better place. Once he moved it he felt dirty and needed to clean himself, and tried to find the soap pile. Rinse, lather, repeat.
