For some reason, I think that this page should exist. --Penguinofhonor 19:26, 23 November 2007 (EST)

Backpacks in hand?

One of my axedwarves is holding her backpack in her right hand along with an axe. Is this going to interfere with her axe wielding? It's hard to tell. I guess I'll wait to see if she gains axe experience. So far she's just a dabbing. I tried shaking it loose by turning rations on and off for that squad, but no good. --Schwern 21:34, 27 December 2008 (EST)

If shes wielding an axe then it shouldn't interfere, you can mark the backpack for dumping and someone will come along and remove it if need be. She likely grabbed the backpack off a sparring partner. --Elvang 08:49, 18 February 2009 (EST)

Material?

Adamantine backpacks.. Is there any benefit? --Destoo 00:03, 18 February 2009 (EST)

Technically there's a benefit in that the backpacks would be really, really light. But that's about all I can think of, and nowhere near being worth the armor and weapons you'd miss out on. --LegacyCWAL 14:51, 18 February 2009 (EST)

Sparring wrestlers make carrying backpacks useless

My wrestlers will tear off each other's backpacks while sparring, which makes telling them to carry food around useless. This is especially annoying because the food in the backpacks rots on the ground and subjects all my military to constant miasma. Is there any way to fix this, or do you simply have to not let wrestlers carry backpacks? --King of the Internet 21:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Not letting wrestlers carry backpacks is not sufficient, because wrestlers will normally spar with non-wrestlers. The easiest solution is to only allow marksdwarves to carry backpacks.--Aykavil 11:23, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
