How do I make it so things aren't forbidden automatically?

[Quietust]

o: Set Orders
->
F: Forbid
->
p: Forbid/Claim used ammunition
c: Forbid/Claim your dead
i: Forbid/Cleam your death items
o: Forbid/Claim other dead
t: Forbid/Claim other death items

The labels indicate the current settings (i.e. it it says "Forbid", pressing the corresponding key will change it to "Claim" and make it so that thing doesn't get auto-forbidden anymore).

[edit] It probably would've been more straightforward to ask this question in your previous thread where you asked about ammo being auto-forbidden - with that in mind, the first setting (for "used ammunition") is the one you want to toggle.

thank you

i use it all the time to unforbid stuff, as it is tedious marking the whole map with d-b-c to claim all items and ending up with a trade caravan being pissed when my dorfs take their stuff.

If your dwarves can take their stuff, then it's already too late to avoid pissing them off. Caravan items are owned, and your dwarves won't touch them until a few months later (after which the caravan will have already left.) The stuff is probably from a previous caravan that got spooked and the wagons scuttled.

oh... must be more observing when caravans are involved anyway
