chasm

Is it possible to use a bottomless chasme as a refuse pit?GarrieIrons 08:22, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Quite possible, and is the intended use for garbage dump zones, as evidenced by the o->r menu that has "Chasm xxx" as opposed to "Dump xxx" or somesuch. Just don't forget that you can't recover anything that gets tossed in there, (i.e. excess stone that you're simply moving out of the way, as opposed to say rotten food or other 'never useful' items.) --Edward 20:26, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Refuse Hauling

Does anyone have any tips on refuse hauling? I have a refuse pit, quite close to my food stockpile but separated by doors. However, the dwarves will often leave the corpses of vermin lying around my food stockpile, generating miasma in the food stockpile, when I'd far rather they just cleaned up more quickly. Sometimes it helps to mark the vermin corpses for dumping, but I'm not patrolling the food stockpile six times a season to look for corpses! Is there any way to make the dwarves prioritise cleaning higher? --AlexChurchill 05:55, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

You could always give the cleaning labor to some peasants. You could have the entire floor as a retractable bridge, so you could dump all the rubbish below. --AlexFili 07:25, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
