I keep having the dwarves insisting on walking through 4/7 waters, and then canceling. Never mind the fact that they could have just retrace the path they just used to collect the item for stockpile

Does this happen often? I had to forbid the item so I don't get job cancel spammed. Any fix so that they path smarter?

You can use traffic designations (d->o) to encourage dwarves to take smarter paths. It's not going to 100% work, especially if the alternate route is a long path, but it helps a ton.

is your water height changing a lot? ie from 3/7 to 4/7? That would cause them to think they can walk over it, until they get there and find its changed.

Yeah, the d-o command is great for this, assuming there exists a better path. Just set this watery bit to restricted.

A side benefit, setting high traffic paths through your fort appears to improve FPS.

Yeah, probably. Water is at 3 or 4/7. Just stopped my irrigation project (finally reached the furthest tile). A little too late though, so the front portion of the irrigation flooded the area to 3/4.
