Starving/Drowsy beside food supply.
« on: April 12, 2010, 05:32:56 pm »

Some weird stuff happening today.
This guy will probably die of hunger beside the food supply:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I tried saving/loading, locking/opening doors and hatches, digging the squares around him..nothing works.
If only I could dump him in the volcano..
He even walked a tile, but he just won't eat.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

Ahem.

Does he have a job? If he's got a job or On Break, there might be a problem there. If not, it might be that his pathfinding is whacked. If he's worthwhile try digging out the square under him so he falls. As long as it's just his square, and the miner isn't horribly unlucky, the cave-in should be fine, and not cause anything worse than some bruising or maybe a broken bone or two, but use someone disposable, just in case. If that doesn't work... eh, I dunno.

If he's disposable, just get his coffin prepared and ignore him.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Is there perhaps a dining room somewhere that he's trying to get to but can't? Maybe in another burrow or somesuch?

He might of hit it on the head. If you have a dining room, try turning it off, and see if that helps.

So there's that, as well. It looks like the only chronic problems that water can't cure are nausea and cave spider bites.
Which, coincidentally enough, can be cured by magma.

Actually, he died..

I tried a lot of things and it didn't work, even replaced the food stockpiles.
But I think he was trying to eat something that were in the caverns below.
Some of the "Loom Operators"/Clothemakers tried to get giant spider webs, and a lot of "item inaccessible" messages appeared.

I made a 'shaft' down to the caverns, but of course it doesn't provide access to all of the resources down there. I still have a LOT to work inside/outside the fortress, before dealing with 'the depths of the world'..
