v0.31:Forbid
Revision as of 16:18, 7 September 2010 by 90.194.11.176 (talk)
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
An item that is forbidden will never be handled by your dwarves. It is the opposite of Template:L. For example, Template:Ls that have been forbidden will not appear in the Template:L menu, and will not be used at Template:Ls. 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 and scroll over the item you wish to forbid. Then press f in order to toggle the forbidden state of the item.
- In order to mass forbid entire swathes of items, use the d-b-f keys and designate items with either the keyboard or the mouse.
- In order to prevent your dwarves from using a specific workshop, press t and forbid the materials that the workshop is made of.
Uses of forbidding items
- Dwarves in Template:Ls 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 Template:L by forbidding items on the battlefield is generally a good idea. You can also go to the Forbid orders menu with o-F to make these forbidden by default.
