Restraints take precedence over pasture
« on: September 12, 2012, 02:49:05 pm »

I was trying to set up some restrained guard dogs, and I noticed that the dwarves would drag them slowly to the restraints, then another dwarf would come helpfully drag them back to the pasture or training zone.  They will sometimes loop the commands in perpetuity.  Thanks, guys!  Actually, no, screw you.  I can work around it and find the correct dog, etc, but if I order a dog to be restrained, that should break its pasture or training zone attendance, just like pasturing a restrained dog will break it from its chain.

I think that the restraint designation should erase the pasture one. I thought it did.

As should the butcher designation.

Or was that one fixed?

...That is such an amusing image.

The suggestions forum is meant for feature requests, not bug reports - this belongs on the bug tracker (and, in fact, it's already there).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

My appologies then, I didn't consider it a bug-- the dwarves are doing what you told them to do-- so much as an oversight.  Fair point.
