| This article is about an older version of DF. |
DO NOT ADD UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION TO THIS ARTICLE. (For information on wagons as they pertain to Template:Ls, see Template:L.)
In Template:L, you start with a single immobile wagon that represents the transportation vehicle for all your supplies. A wagon is not a real vehicle, and never moves or serves any other purpose - it simply sits there at the start of the game, representing where your dwarves decided to stop. Any and all supplies were selected at Template:L by you and bought with points; supplies cannot be bought later, but your dwarves can (try to) Template:L for whatever the seasonal Template:Ls bring.
To empty a wagon, your dwarves need the appropriate Template:L Template:L enabled (all are enabled by default at embark), no other jobs to distract them, an appropriate Template:L designated, and a valid Template:L between the stockpile and the items. And, depending on how many items you brought, patience.
You can can break down your wagon into three Template:Ls by pressing q, highlighting the wagon, and pressing x. A dwarf with the Template:L labor enabled will then deconstruct the wagon into its component logs. The items will then be scattered in a slightly wider pattern in that same location. A wagon cannot be used for any other purpose - might as well break it down for the lumber, now or later.
If that dis-assembly is finished while a dwarf is returning to the wagon to Template:L an item to a stockpile, the dwarf will cancel that Template:L. An Template:L will be generated, to the effect of "Job Item lost or misplaced". Don't panic - nothing has been lost, except that dwarf's train of thought, as the item they were retrieving is no longer in the wagon but instead on the ground. They may adopt another hauling job, that same or a different one, and sooner or later that item will get hauled, but that particular job is cancelled for that moment.
In rare cases you might start on a level or spot that doesn't have a 3x3 square (e.g. mountain peak). In this case your wagon will be missing/inaccessible via the k or q menu, but your goods will still be there (all?).
Unless/until you formally designate a new one, your Wagon is a default Template:L or Template:L. A meeting zone is where any Template:Ls or Template:L dwarves will congregate in their spare time, and also provide some measure of defense for your possessions from any Template:Ls or Template:L Template:L before you finish securing your valuables. If you deconstruct your wagon but do not define a new meeting area, your dwarves and animals will wander aimlessly.
