[33g] "Pinned items" on reclaim fortress
« on: January 23, 2008, 04:27:00 pm »

Some items refuse to move after reclaiming the fortress. This is not because they are forbidden, but they simply wont move, even if i try to dump them or build something over them.

Hypothesis: Although this is nothing more then an educated guess, I think this may occur to items that where in a half constructed object, which then scatter on abandon fortress. I base this on the fact that the items in question for me seem to all be right next to objects that where in the middle of being constructed when I abandoned the fortress, such as logs from windmills and mechanisms from gears and screw pumps.

Original thread: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=002753  , Link to DFMA here.

P.S. a temporary solution for this problem would be very much appreciated (including cheats/memory injection) so that i can continue playing this fortress.

This is Bug 568 (perhaps with a bit of 561 thrown in).  Unfortunately, I don't have a workaround.

Well, as long as your aware of it im sure the situation will be remedied eventually. For now ive found a slight work around by abandoning the fortress and reclaiming it until all the bugged items are out of the way   :) )

I've had this happen too. One possible work around is to move the object with out using dwarves directly.
For example: Cause a cave-in and the object will be thrown aside. As seen here:Stuck Logs Moved.

Another way is to channel underneath it. The object will fall and can then be transported. Build a new floor and your done. I've personally tested this one on a previous version.

Also a possibility:
Remove all constructions not completed before abandoning.
