[39b] Dwarves with no sense of direction
« on: July 16, 2008, 11:26:22 am »
This may be a "feature" but in 39b, I've noticed dwarves doing alot of running back and forth for no discernable reason. It as if the dwarf keeps changing it's mind about the most efficient way to get some where.  I've never seen this in previous versions.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

I think this is what Toady was talking about fixing in his latest dev log...

Noticed the same thing, whether they're actually doing something or not...  Also they tend to leave hauled stuff all over the place when all of a sudden they run off to do some completely unrelated task.

It seems particularly bad when it comes to the Trade Depot. I set up my Goods stockpile right next to the Trade Depot, and a Dwarf will change his mind after 6 steps... take 2 steps away... move the mug back... pick it up, dance a bit, put it down on a rock... etc.

Makes it nearly unplayable.
