Talk:Stocks

From DwarfFortressWiki

The captured creatures page indicates that I can disarm captured goblins by locating narrow gear that's being worn on the stocks page and marking it for dumping. How do I determine what's being worn, though? None of the color coding or bracketing symbols seem to indicate this. Bryan Derksen 01:05, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

A second on this question. Is this possible? To see what's currently in use by the dwarves? --Zombiejustice 18:48, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

Use the "go to object" command or whatever that one that goes to the object. If it goes to a cage with a goblin in it, you know you've got the right equipment. However, if you process your equipment quickly, all narrow stuff should apply. --Savok 08:45, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Hm. I was hoping there was an easier way. My furnace operators can melt down (narrow iron chain mail) only so fast. I guess I'll stick to throwing them in the execution chamber as practice for my marksdwarves. --Zombiejustice 09:07, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

I tried to use the stocks menu to control the type of stone my mason uses, by forbidding everything except a flux. Somehow that seems to lock up the mason into No Job, even though there's plenty of that type of stone lying all over the place and what's more, nothing I do can ever get that mason to do anything ever again except eat, sleep, and drink.

Did you remember to set your flux stone to be non-economic? They won't use if it they think it's still reserved for steel production. --Bilkinson 09:04, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
