Every time I designate plants near the cave river to be picked, 20-40 seconds after I designate them they go back to not being selected for picking. (sorry for the wordiness)

[Tahin]

Does your designated herbalist have a clear path to then? You might have a farmer stranded somewhere, or something, who's canceling the jobs... Do you have job cancellation messages disabled?

Also, plants will undesignate if they die (turn brown). If it's about a month after a flood, a lot of plants will be dying off. If you can go select the same plants again, that's not it, though.

[Jace_the_slasher]

The gatherer has a clear path to them and they aren't dieing.  This is the first time this has happened to me after months of playing.

[Karlito]

And you aren't getting any cancelation messages?

Sounds like a bug to me.

I know I've seen this reported before, but don't remember where.  My search-fu is weak, but I know it's out there.  I believe a solution was found (or just a 'fixed next version').

Sorry, that's kind of a useless reply...

Even Google doesn't find anything, and I don't see anything on the bug reports page. There are a couple related bugs, though:

quote:000275 ▪ (0.22.123.23a) [dwarf mode][jobs][farming and the farmer's workshop] farmer does not harvest certain plants and keeps walking over to them to try

(That one has been fixed already.)

[Faces of Mu]

Is the harvester moving around and not stuck on a building? Is s/he starving and looking for bugs to eat instead? Is there a higher priority job being assigned? (I think there's an inbuilt priority list of tasks, and it's laid out either here on the forums somewhere or on the wiki).

You've probably moved on from it by now, and it sounds like an annoying thing to have happen.

I reported this one a while back. IIRC Toady discovered that it apparently has something to do with the job undesignating because the herbs are out of LOS of any of your dwarves.

This has been fixed for the new version.
