Hey, in my current fortress I recently struck Adamantine and I've been *CAREFULLY* extracting it.  I am only knicking around the edges and I only let my miners dig when I completely seal the path to the vein off in multiple ways, I have a ton of safety protocols in place for taking this adamantine out of the ground and avoiding mass casualties.

Anywho, I got enough adamantine wafers and made a statue of a donkey, I was going to sell it to the next caravan for all their wood or something.  I made it but I can't find out how to sell it to them, it's not in any of the lists, can you even sell statues?  I made some steel statues afterwards because I have more than 99 bars of steel since my fortress mass produces steel like it's nothing, I can't find out how to sell them either.

Help?

Statues are saleable (in previous versions I've made a fortune from selling gold statues), I think they are listed under furniture - and of course you have to bring them to the depot first

See that's the thing though, in my "Move Items to Depot" or whatever menu there is no Furniture selection, that's where I figured it'd be myself.

Do you have any nobles with active mandates forbidding selling anything?
There's a toggle in the screen to bring stuff to the trade depot to ignore mandates which then shows everything you have in the lists. This can be annoying if you have bins full of stuff for trade & one thing or type of thing in the bins gets mandated as it'll hide the entire bin from the list even though the mandate doesn't affect 90% of the contents of the bin.

Ignoring the mandates only let me start selling green glass, but I found out how to find it.  I just pressed 's' inside the depot menu and typed in the name of the statue, it popped up but a furniture menu still never showed up.

type in statue in the search bar.

Ooh, Ooh, I know this one!

Set up a custom stockpile stockpile near your depot, set to hold your precious donkey statue.

Soon, a dorf shall move it into position.

Then, go to the depot, make sure it's sorting by distance, go to all, and you should see the statue.

Then, sell your jackass to the jackasses!

Sometimes item that are in "motion" don't appear as being available for buildings; I wonder if this could affect trade, too.

Make sure your security systems are in place though. Very few things could be worse than having some sticky fingered half invisible midget waltz in and steal the precious cotton candy quadraped. Of course considering you've dug that deep you probably don't have to worry about them any more, but still.

Wait you can just type in the depot menu?  I never knew how to get furniture to the depot without using the find-by-distance approach.

quadraped.

What is this i don't even

quadraped.

For some reason my computer hates these forums. If my post is longer than the original white space and I have to scroll down to keep seeing what I'm typing, it refuses to allow this. It can occasionally lead to some amusing typos.

All I'm seeing is the word quadraped, which is to say, 4 legged animal.

You fellas ain't reading it quadruple raped, are you?

[Misterstone]

I've had this problem before too... I had furniture for sale, but I could not find a furniture category in the depot menu.  So what I ended up doing was opening the 'all' category and scrolling through everything looking for it.  In the first year or two this is not all that hard.  If you're on your fortresses 10th year, well...

If you press s you can do a word search. Saves me tones of time.
