An item that is forbidden will never be handled by your dwarves. It is the opposite of [[reclaim]]. For example, [[stone]]s that have been forbidden will not appear in the [[construction]] menu, and will not be used at [[workshop]]s. If a forbidden object is on a build site, the building will be suspended and an announcement will appear informing the player that the build site is blocked.
 
 
 
==Forbidding items==
 
*In order to forbid a specific item, use {{k|k}} and scroll over the item you wish to forbid. Then press {{k|f}} in order to toggle the forbidden state of the item.
 
 
 
*In order to mass forbid entire swathes of items, use the {{k|d}}-{{k|b}}-{{k|f}} keys and designate items with either the keyboard or the mouse.
 
 
 
*In order to prevent your dwarves from using a specific workshop, press {{k|t}} and forbid the materials that the workshop is made of.
 
 
 
==Uses of forbidding items==
 
*Dwarves in [[strange mood]]s can be directed to materials of your choice by selectively forbidding objects.
 
 
 
*Preventing dwarves from looting the bodies of your enemies (or friends) during a [[siege]] by forbidding items on the battlefield is generally a good idea. You can also go to the Forbid orders menu with {{k|o}}-{{k|F}} to make these forbidden by default.
 
 
 
*You can use the mass designation tool to forbid items in sealed off areas in order to get a more accurate representation of available resources in your stocks screen. Don't forget to reclaim when it's time to go spelunking!
 
 
 
==Getting Items Back==
 
the mass reclaim function{{k|d}}-{{k|b}}-{{k|c}} can be used to regain access to forbidden items if needed. Especially useful if you cannot directly toggle the forbidden setting of items.
 
EXAMPLE: an armed enemy in a cage.
