« on: July 06, 2014, 10:34:58 pm »

Can I drop items somewhere, like in an abandoned house and then get them back? are items not lost?

Once I dropped some stuff next to a river and retrieved it, so no, it shouldn't disappear.

In addition to baddy lairs, fortresses (the size of which make it easier to sort stuff into orderly piles) count as "lairs", in that they don't scatter stuff on offload.

[edit] By "fortresses" I mean the human fortresses.

"Dropping my junk" sounds like a rap song.

If you mean dwarven (aka player-created, dwarf mode) fortress, that's wrong.
Not only stuff scatter all accross the map, but half of it disapear too...

I think he means human fortresses.
The stuff underground there (or even in their building) never scatters.
Ever.
I think.
If it does, the scatter is extremely low.

Yep, that's what I meant.  And it doesn't scatter at all, ever.
