I have multiple resting dwarves at the moment, and all of the sudden I'm being spammed by 'cancelled job, no water source' announcements. They have been retrieving water for a long time now, I have not blocked off either of the sources. One source is a flowing river, one is a well, and both are perfectly accessible. There are plenty of buckets. This came up shortly after moving the save to 40d16, but I don't think that had much to do with it. Any help?

Did you designate a water source zone? Though, since you have a well this shouldn't be necessary.
Perhaps you should try rebuilding the well? Maybe you forbade a door somewhere? Maybe one of the well's items are forbidden causing the well itself to become unusable?

Other than that, I think it's a bug.

If you hit < i > and look at the number of water-source-zone tiles designated, what do you have?

Is it possible you tapped into a salt water biome and contaminated the rest?

[Helmaroc]

The well and river are both zoned as water sources. I deconstructed the well, but I've found that whenever I try to build something outside, I get 'no access to block/bucket etc.'. What could be causing this? The save I'm using was imported from 40d to 40d16, could that be causing these bugs?

did you accidentally lock a door or build a wall in the wrong place?

[Twiggie]

have you told dwarves to stay inside? thatll stop em getting it from the river, and stop you from building stuff outside. press <o> if you dont know :p

[Helmaroc]

No and no. As I said earlier, the water sources are perfectly accessible. I think it's just a bug, possibly due to the imported save. Thanks for the help, though.
