That might be it, most guys leave a space in the front steps and mark their rune there. Put a bag or something on the steps next to that and your good to go.

A-ha!  Thanks.  Locking my secure down on the steps looks like it'll do the trick -- it's visible now even when the rest of the house's lockdowns haven't loaded.

Ok, I have another question (forgive my noobishness).

The quester works great except I'm having one problem -- after it's been to heartwood, done the quests and run through all the boards, then recalls back to my home, it gives me the error: "Not enough boards to run script, halting."  There are lots of boards in my secure, but it's not going to the secure...instead, it seems to be just checking the beetle's pack and not finding any there (which there aren't, of course, because it just used them all).  I ran through the checklist again, and I'm pretty sure I have everything set up correctly now.  I thought I might need to have the secure right at the edge of my home plot, so I moved it there and set the recall spot right next to it, but I'm still getting this error.  Any ideas?

Question:  downloaded this today and got it working with BTItemEval (was having some problems with CLAw...I'll worry about that later ).  It's a nice script and I got it working, kinda, but I had to drop the number of boards it loads at a time onto the beetle to 500 -- when it was loading 1540 boards, the mount was getting fatigued in heartwood and only going 2 or 3 steps at a time then having to pause for 10 seconds or so to regain stamina.  Is it supposed to do this?  I'm guessing I must be doing something wrong...is there a way to make it so that the beetle follows me into heartwood rather than me trying to ride it?

Thanks in advance.
