Sometimes, a favorite fort in a remarkably wonderful location is [[Fun|extinguished]] for one reason or another. Sometimes, you just have to go back and try again. Thankfully, this mechanic has been built into the game in the form of Reclaim Fortress Mode. | Sometimes, a favorite fort in a remarkably wonderful location is [[Fun|extinguished]] for one reason or another.

Dwarves that died during the fall of the last fortress will be scattered across the map along with the rotten carcasses of whatever livestock was left behind. Food items in barrels rot away for the reclaim. Prepared meals will be scattered everywhere but are still dwarf-edible. |

Enemy invasion forces like goblin ambush parties will be peaceful for some reason. If your fortress fell to a tantrum spiral, there may be berserk dwarves lurking in ambush for your embark party. Be prepared to deal with whatever destroyed your fortress before. | |

You can do this two ways. First, you can hit {{key|t}} and move the cursor over the building, which will show all of the items within the building. This includes the materials used to build it. Hit {{key|f}} on each one to reclaim those items. |
It is also possible to designate multiple items and workshops by using {{key|d}}-{{key|b}}-{{key|c}}. | It is also possible to designate multiple items and workshops by using {{key|d}}-{{key|b}}-{{key|c}}. | ||

On removal of the wall, the section will still be blacked out, and can be designated for mining. Miners will attempt to dig, fail, and walk away only to try again a few seconds later. To get around this, mine a tile adjacent to the invisible room and it will be revealed, allowing you to continue as normal. |
