Ive had raccoons come into above ground buildings and steal from workshops. Stupid raccoon took my fortresses only piece of leather, was gonna make a bag for glass making. Diabl0658 11:12, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- Raccoons will make their way for the closest item (or at least a random item in the closest general area) to the edge of the map from which they appeared. If that item is above ground in a workshop, then they can certainly climb up stairs to get it.Schm0 11:27, 1 December 2007 (EST)
- I'm not sure about closest item. In my experience, raccoons take the most expensive item lying outside. I had a bunch of mixed gems lying around outside (yes, yes, not very clever but no one was coming to haul them) and the first two raccoons struck before I noticed them. The gems they took? One star ruby and one star sapphire. They left a bunch of schorls and opals lying on the ground. I don't have further data as my hunter and some miners slew all the other raccoons before they could steal any more. --Actreal 04:33, 7 June 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, you need hunters or guards of some kind. --AlexFili 04:14, 9 June 2008 (EDT)
Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering, they can in fact steal artifacts. I'd be fascinated to know what the game does with the artifact in terms of stored data. Somewhere out there there's a raccoon waving an artifact microcline scepter. Must impress all his other furry buddies. RedKing 02:08, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
