Can't make a thread in help, started this (False cancel announcements)
« on: May 17, 2013, 08:20:42 pm »
Yes, I know this doesn't exactly belong here, but read the title.

As you can see in the following picture, there's a crapton of cancel messages.


...and yet my dwarves are all at full health and productivity.
Oh, and the false errors include that "unable to complete the Metalsmith's forge".

bit of an interesting first post IMO

Well, you appear to be mining... did you accidentally build a wall or remove a staircase that's cutting off your fortress?

No. I'm mining a Z-level below anything and everything that might cause pathing problems for my dwarfs.

However, I did forget to mention I channeled some water and when I broke the wall of the river I was channeling it from, a legitimate cancel digging message was made for completing the hole (though one - voxal sized holes are good enough for me), and the dwarf scampered out of there, there are no leaks or wells sapping the water. Then all of the crazy BS messages began. Oh, and some dingoes spawned - I did some research on them and immediatly dispatched them - then BS ": Interrupted by Dingo." messages began manifesting.

There's a bug where dwarves grab an entire bag/barrel of seeds to collect spare seeds laying about your fortress. This tends to create massive cancellation spam.

You might want to build a specific stockpile for seeds only and turn barrel usage off for that stockpile. Make sure you disable seed storage in any of your food stockpiles to force your dwarves to use that stockpile instead.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.
You beat a man to death with his dick?

Thanks, locking.
