:''Are you looking to reclaim a lost fort? You may want to look at [[Reclaim fortress mode]].''
 
  
'''Reclaim''' is the opposite of [[forbid]]. Reclaiming an item allows it to be used by your [[dwarves]]. It's needed to use items found when you [[reclaim fortress mode|reclaim a fortress]] or build a fort near an existing settlement, as all items are automatically forbidden when you arrive. It is also used for recovering other automatically forbidden items, such as those dropped by dead goblins.

=Reclaiming=
  
==Reclaiming objects==
+
Sometimes, your forts are extinguished. Sometimes, your forts in totally awesome locations are extinguished. Sometimes, you have to go back. Reclaiming a fortress is a method of doing so.
  
To reclaim individual items, press {{k|k}} to view the item and {{k|f}} to toggle its forbid status.
+
In order to reclaim a fortress site, you must first have a site to reclaim. If you lose a fortress to a tantrum spiral or invasion, you can select the reclaim option by hitting "R".
  
You may also use the reclaim [[designation]] to reclaim all forbidden items in an area by using {{k|d}}-{{k|b}}-{{k|c}} and tracing the designation over top of the objects with either the keyboard or mouse.
+
After doing so, you will be brought to the embark screen, where you can assign skills and items as normal with 300 points to spend.
  
You can also go into the [[Stocks]] screen, highlight the entry for your chosen item, and press {{k|f}} to toggle its forbid status.  This is mostly useful for forbidding and reclaiming categories of items, like locking out cheap stone during a [[strange mood]] and then reactivating it afterwards.
+
==What you'll find==
 
+
Upon arriving, you will find items from the previous colonization attempt strewn around the area. All map items and workshops start forbidden, so you must unforbid them if you plan on using them. You may also find the source of your fort's downfall, so be careful about picking things up. If your fort was devestated by a berserk dwarf, they are probably still on the map, ready to ambush your gatherers.
