Dropping Doors One Tile After Hauling?
« on: September 09, 2012, 01:41:49 am »
My bookkeeper wasn't doing his job in his study, so I figured maybe the door wasn't placed very well (right next to a up/down stair). I figured I'd remove the door and a few others just for style. Unfortunately, the dwarves only carried the doors one block and then dropped them after deconstruction! I have a ton of idlers that should be hauling furniture, but none of them are grabbing the doors.

What gives?

Also first post! After trying 2-3 times to try and pick the game up, I finally sat down a few days ago and did the 16 page Utterly Newbie guide, and it was fantastic. This game is pretty neat :D

Welcome to the forums!

Try to check if the path to your furniture stockpile isn't blocked (by a forbidden door or some badly fitting stairs or something like that), if the stockpile isn't full and if you have any burrows enabled that don't encompass the furniture stockpile.
Oh, and check if your doors aren't forbidden. Maybe you accidentally included them in a mass forbidding.

I wonder if the game has become odd.

Idiot check: Do you have a furniture stockpile?

It's normal for everything used to make something to be scattered about near the construction site.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Yup. I had a furniture stockpile and a few custom piles for everything save stone, refuse, and corpses. Definitely didn't have any burrows enabled, haven't learned about them yet and kept away. I wasn't able to check if my doors were forbidden, because my fortress fell shortly thereafter.

Thanks for the help!

Hahahaha!

Well, welcome anyway, and enjoy your stay.  DF is the best.
I'm sure your next fort will be more *fun*.
