Editing v0.31:Forbid

An item that is forbidden will never be handled by your dwarves. For example, {{L|stone}}s that have been forbidden will not appear in the {{L|construction}} menu, and will not be used at {{L|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 {{L|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 {{L|seige}} by forbidding items on the battlefield is generally a good idea.

-*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.
