Dwarf Cancels building X, item present
« on: May 23, 2012, 07:29:36 am »
I am trying to build scaffolding to carve the upper level of a Great Hall (I did not plan it as well as I could have).  I keep getting cancellation messages that Dwarf cancels build stairway, object in the way.  The only items there are rocks.  What gives?

The great Dwarfen Philosopher Urist McConfused said it best:  "Light a kitten on fire and it will run screaming into the booze stockpile and catch the whole fort up.  I know, we tested it in twelve different forts and it always happened."

Those rocks are either forbidden, marked for dumping, or (most likely) designated as material for construction.  You'll need to wait for them to be moved, unforbid them, or cancel the construction job they're being used for.
