hi there!
ok, so my fort has been knocked down completely by a black dragon, tantrums and the orcs from Dig Deeper, luckily i had a dorf locked away in a vault, with a food supply and all. now he is mayor and the only dwarf in the fort. i'm trying to make his vault nicer at the moment, but he isn't willing to dump the mined out stones, neither he wants to store some food items in the food pile that's around. the stones aren't forbidden, but marked for dumping, an open-space-dumping zone is available, the food stockpile is accepting the food and the food is not forbidden... what am i doing wrong? (no, it's not outside xD )

You said the dump is on open space. To get a dwarf to dump into a hole the dump must be on the edge, not on the open space.

[EvilTwin]

it already is set up that way... sorry if i was describing that misunderstandable...
might it be because the mayor doesn't want to touch rubbish??

[Derakon]

What's he doing instead?

Depressed dwarves will spend a lot of time moping instead of getting work done. He may just not feel very motivated after watching all of his friends die.

No Job, plus her happiness level:

*sigh* nevermind... the orcs just got him while he was trying to get a cage with an assload of animals in it to his chamber...

[Magua]

Does he have refuse hauling (for dumping) or food hauling (for food, obv) enabled?

Did you accidentally turn off one of the "Dwarves haul" orders in the (o) menu?

[Albedo]

Is there a path? Activate him into the military and march him to the two locations to be 100% sure, as "visual" inspections are notoriously unreliable.

[EvilTwin]

well, i can't try that out anymore, since my fort has vanished into thin air... but thanks for the advice, i'll try that next time
