stockpile inaccesible
« on: October 10, 2012, 03:11:09 pm »

i get tens of messages canceling hauling jobs because stockpile is inaccesible per second. its gotten to the point that none of my dwarves are willing to do any work. i unforbid every door but it didnt help. any idea how to find the offending stockpile? for extra information i am in reclaim mode, this problem has been goin on for a while, at least since after the first immagration wave, and has been getting worse. it used to be just one or two dwarves who refused to work due to inaccesible stockpiles, but now its every dwarf except 2 or 3 at a time.

Disable one type of hauling job at a time until you determine the type of stockpile.
Then look delete every one of those stockpiles until the messages go away.
Then build new stockpiles.

If this doesn't work, flush to fortress with magma.

I don't know if you need other ideas when you have magma.

Even if it does work, magma will make them obey!

Troubleshoot.  Start knocking off stockpiles and also make sure some dumbass didnt mislocate a barrel somewheres.

Something I have come across that generates a stockpile error is wheelbarrows getting stuck/abandoned when they hit a forbidden (e.g. outside of defined burrows) tile.  Then I have to go check all my tunnels and even outside to verify that the burrows cover anywhere a wheelbarrow might have been taken - and often find I missed a spot in a tunnel or elsewhere and a dwarf tried to push a wheelbarrow through it.

Something else to consider is doing some sort of mass forbid on items.  Then systematically unforbid and see when your message starts showing up again.

This sounds like a burrow problem to me. Do you have any burrows? If you don't then I'm probably wrong.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

Well the R menu should list each and every stockpile you've created (along with every other "room" you've created), so you can manually delete each stockpile.

Are there areas of the reclaim you haven't been to yet? wood drop off in the cavern? Flooded magma workshop?

thanks Drazinononda, it was a burrow problem. a tiny corner of one of my stockpiles was outside the burrow, and every dwarf in the fortress wanted to store stuff there.
