Got lucky looking at buildings list
« on: May 06, 2011, 07:23:49 pm »

I found out that while [Masterwork Adamantine 2Hand Sword] won't appear on your stocks > weapons menu, it WILL appear in your "R" menu as a building. This probably counts as a bug, but I am so happy I saw that as it was off in a corner of the map I might not have explored (I went down to magma through the opposite side of the map).

Interesting!  Thank you for sharing!  What's your fort's wealth?

1536527 urists

The sword is worth 136800 urists.

Now that I think about it, I do have a rather large wealth in architecture (432871 urists)

You can easily embark in an 8x8, search the building (DFReveal helps), ctrl alt del to bring up the task manager, and kill the process.  This means it won't save, and you can then embark atop the sword.  Repeat 4 times as needed to search the entire local square, as it only spawns 1 upright per local.

Well now you can apparently check for it with the (R)ooms menu, without needing DFReveal. Interestinly, if you know where it is (you can zome to it by pressing "t" from the (R)ooms menu, you can select it the same way you selec(t) normal buildings  if your cursor is within a 10 tile radius square of it.
