Job item spam
« on: June 11, 2012, 05:50:07 pm »
I'm getting a combination of job item and pickup equipment spam about pathing issues from the caverns whenever I open the bridge to it, dropping my fps like a stone, even when the only access to it is over water. What is causing this endless barrage?

It's most likely to be a combination of the following problems:
1. Hunters not finding a path to cavern fauna
2. Web collection is on auto-collect, which leads to weavers trying and failing to find paths to cave spider and GCS webs.

Dwarves thinking they can path to places they cannot. Especially frustrating when you try to dig a path to make it accessible, but noooo, we "can't" dig out a path because the path is inaccessible. Sealing parts of the cavern you don't need should fix this problem. Cuts down the pathing calculations too.
