How to prevent dwarfs from claiming contents?
« on: October 04, 2010, 04:13:59 pm »

Hey there,

I have a little problem, although i set my Forbid parameters to 'don't pickup items of the dead', etc... My dwarfs ALWAYS want to claim the contents of containers. even if the container is forbidding, all my dwarfs will rush towards the containers... D:

Any tips?

Thanks!

The problem isn't containers - it's that goods dropped by dead merchant animals aren't considered "items of the dead".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
