DF2014 Talk:Cage
High-temp critters[edit]
Regarding:
- Beware of cages that contain creature(s) with very high internal temperature, such as fire imps. They cannot harm your dwarves directly while caged, but their body heat can, and dwarves will dutifully continue to haul such a cage until their head melts off. To move "hot" cages safely, try letting a dwarf haul it for a while, then forbid the cage and let them cool off, unforbid it and repeat.
Has anyone actually seen this happen? Dwarves will regularly carry minecarts full of magma significant distances without injury (though wooden wheelbarrows hauling the same minecart disappear due to the heat). I agree that it *should* happen, but hot creatures in cages don't even damage the cage currently.--Loci (talk) 18:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Disarming Caged Prisoners[edit]
Just tried disarming a load of goblins in the general way - mass dumping then undumping cages. I hadn't tried it before in DF2014 (but had successfully in DF2012), it seems that none of the dump orders are being taken up. Do we know whether any of the mechanics have changed since DF2014 was released?? --Antsy555 (talk) 15:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Could it be that the goods you marked for dumping are also forbidden? --Bouchart (talk) 18:47, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Nah i tried doing it manually from the stocks screen as well. sucks a bit --Antsy555 (talk) 12:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
