-{{av}}{{buggy}}
-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.
-==How to reclaim a fortress==
-In order to reclaim a fortress, you must first have lost a fortress site somehow, whether by starvation, abandonment or violence. At the embark screen, press {{k|R}} in order to bring up a list of potential reclaim locations. From there, reclaiming a fortress is little different than a normal embark. The prepare for journey screen is identical to a normal embark, with the same number of points for item selection.
-==What you will find==
-On arrival at your old fortress location, the player's initial impression will be one of untidiness.
-* All items that existed at the lost fortress will be [[forbid|forbidden]] and randomly strewn across the map and all accessible levels
-* Dwarves that were present during the fall of the last fortress will be scattered across the map along with the rotten [[corpse|carcasses]] of whatever [[livestock]] was left behind
-* If you have reclaimed the same fortress more than once, there may also be [[ghost]]s of citizens from attempts prior to the most recently lost fortress. These tortured souls will have no corresponding bodies - these poor spirits of repeated failed attempts must be [[slab|memorialised]]
-* [[Food]] ingredients in [[barrel]]s rot away for the reclaim and all [[alcohol]] barrels will be empty, however any [[prepared meal]]s are still dwarf-edible and will be scattered everywhere (and initially forbidden as above)
-* Enemies that existed during abandonment will still be there if you reclaim the fortress immediately afterwards and may be lurking in [[ambush]]
-* Enemy invasion forces like [[goblin]] ambush parties may have changed to 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
-* Constructed buildings will have remained standing, including small buildings like [[cage]]s and [[bed]]s. [[Buildings]], like items, must be reclaimed before they can be used
-* [[Stockpile]]s will no longer exist, and anything held within them will have been scattered and forbidden along with everything else
-== Reclaiming buildings ==
-In order to reclaim a building for your dwarves to use, say a [[smelter]], you will need to reclaim all of the items that make up that [[workshop]]. 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}}.
-==Time==
-Each time a fortress is reclaimed, the year is incremented and moved to the first day of Spring.
-==Bugs==
-* The [[mud]] normally found in [[cave]] systems is gone on reclaim. {{Bug|133}} This may interfere with your [[farming]] and/or wood cutting plans (depending if you rely on the [[underground forest]]s for [[wood]]).
-* If for whatever reason you walled off a section of your fort (to wall a very unhappy dwarf in their bedroom, for example) the walled off section will be invisible on reclaim. 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 {{Bug|1871}} (verified still in 31.25)
