Melissa Destroys Loot

[OrionJAnderson]

I invited Melissa to my fortress and she materialized on top of a pile of loot. The items appeared to be unrecoverable. Fortunately, I was able to force-quit before an autosave wiped out my stack of artifact mindstars for good.

uhm, if you mean "the lucky girl", wasn't her name Melinda? or did they change it... or did i remember it wrong...

second, as long as as you have lets say, mind hook or another talent that "attracts" the target, you should be able to move her.

third:
A) you mean she spawned in your treasury?!
or
B) why would you leave your loot outside of the treasury?!

B) why would you leave your loot outside of the treasury?!

Many reasons for this, actually. Like having stacks of +DEX or +CON or whatever stat you need to qualify for talents or prodigies.

Or depending on ego, e.g "I think I had something here to go scuba-diving, but I can't remember if it was a belt, cap or armor, maybe it'd be a good idea to assign a spot out of the sorting room for water-breathing gear, so I don't have to inspect 5 stacks of item while not even be sure I actually have one."

Just two examples out of many.

well, anyway, Melinda always appears in the same 1 spot, so next time, just dont put anything in that general area.
also, if it was your first time i will give you a hint, beware of the portal. make sure to sort it out BEFORE melinda comes.
