Forcing dwarves to give up jobs
« on: December 28, 2013, 05:09:26 pm »

My last remaining dwarf is currently about six tiles away from forgotten beast death.  The reason for this is that he managed to find some (pig tail fiber thread) that wasn't forbidden somehow (even though I mass-forbid the entire room it was in...) and has picked it up with the job "Store item in hospital" or somesuch.  The hospital (rather, ex-hospital - I actually removed the zone after the beast moved in) is where the beast, which killed everyone else in my fortress and the dwarven caravan, is currently residing.

Is there any way I can force him to give up this job?

I've tried forbidding the thread in his inventory.  That did nothing.

Yeaaaahhhh.... he's screwed.  Conscript him and station him somewhere else?

That did the trick - thanks.  I'm sure he'll be getting into plenty more trouble...
