[40d] Items permenently locked after reclaim
« on: November 27, 2008, 01:00:41 pm »
I've finally had chance to do some testing with this, and I can reproduce it.

http://www.vicomt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/save.rar

is a set of three saves:
"Testing reclaim - dumps Tsked" is prior to abandon with dump jobs set and some items marked for dumping
"Testing reclaim - abandonded" is post abandon, but prior to reclaim
"Testing reclaim - can't dump" is post reclaim, with a dump zone and a bar/block pile set up

in the "can't dump" save, there are certain items thats are marked dump, but which never be dumped, and nothing else can be done with them aside from channelling underneath them.

I can't be certain from the limited testing, but it certainly seems like the dump jobs that were underway are the items that get locked. I'll try and dig through the jobs list if I get chance to see.

I hope this helps, coz its a really annoying bug.

Yeah, I've got a save for this (I've downloaded yours as well).  It's already part of the last 60 in the countdown, so I'm going to have it handled for next time if it's tractable.

I won't know until I get there.  It seems like various jobs dump are causing it though.  I think the other save I have involved buildings that were going to be constructed.  It's probably best to cancel out everything before you abandon if you are in the position to do so.

I uploaded one of these saves, any object is locked in time as well as space; in fact, I had dog corpses that never rotted.

Toady already has that save.

Just currious if this has been addessed.  I have a reclaim fort that has several items perma stuck.  I can't dump them, can't destroy them and can't used them.  I've even tried building a bridge over them to crush them.  No luck, construction get susspended.  Is there anyway to clear their status?

Pushing them around with a bit of water might do the trick too.
