HOW TO WRANGLE STUPID GREEN GOBLINS OR ANY OTHER PRISONERS USING ROPES, CHAINS, CAGES:
1. CAGE TRAP THAT IDIOT, EASILY DONE. JUST BUILD A CAGE TRAP. IT'S SERIOUSLY THAT SIMPLE.

2. UNFORBID THE CAGE SO IT GETS PULLED INTO THE STOCKPILE, IT'S AN OBJECT NOW NOT A PERSON.


3. OPEN THE CITIZEN MENU, GO TO OTHERS, SELECT THE HAPPY NEW DENIZEN, GO TO ITEMS

4. CLICK THE ITEMS TAB, INDIVIDUALLY OPEN ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HURT YOUR PRECIOUS POPULATION, CLICK THE DUMPSTER ICON. THINGS WILL BE PULLED FROM THAT FOOL'S GRUBBY HANDS, STRAIGHT THROUGH THE CAGE (REMEMBER TO UNFORBID THE GEAR FROM YOUR DUMP ZONE. FREE STUFF IS FREE STUFF.)

5. BUILD A PASTURE ZONE, ADD A CHAIN OR ROPE OR CAGE.



6a. ASSIGN THE DUDE TO THE OBJECT VIA THE RABBIT WITH A PLUS SIGN BUTTON (VERY CUTE).

6b. (OPTIONAL) WATCH HIM GET BEATEN.



7. ENJOY SUBJECT EXPIRATION.



PS: THIS WORKS FOR ANY CREATURE CAUGHT IN A CAGE (CITIZEN DWARVES WERE NOT TESTED, THEY GET PUT IN DUNGEON ZONES INSTEAD).

IMPORTANT SIDE-INFO:

  • YOU CAN ASSIGN A CAGED SPECIMEN TO A PIT ZONE AND THEY'LL BE HAULED AND THROWN THERE.
  • YOU CAN LINK A LEVER TO A CAGE TO RELEASE THE PRISONER/CREATURE UPON PULLING.

I just lock prisoners in a room with a bunch of bee hives and leave them to die, I love the bee corpse room I've made.

You can save a lot of time and clicks by designating the entire tile the caged prisoner is inhabiting to dump. Just be sure you un-designate the cage itself before your dwarves dump it as well.
