open the file: Dwarf Fortress\data\init\announcements.txt
Change: [DIG_CANCEL_DAMP:A_D:D_D:P:R] --> [DIG_CANCEL_DAMP:A_D:D_D]

Additionally, is there any way to turn off the cancelling of digging? It's pretty annoying when tunneling under a lake, or above magma, to have my dig jobs canceled every time I dig through one more tile.

I think that may be hardcoded, dunno.

External 3rd party utilities have taken care of this in the past.

one way to speed things up is to only designate the 'outer layer' of stone for mining. dwarves will only warn you and cancel designations when they reveal -new- warm/wet stone in the process of digging. so if you dig like this:

(W= wet/warm stone)
Code: [Select]
█████
  WWW
  WWW
  WWW
█████
Code: [Select]
█████
   WW
   WW
   WW
█████
Code: [Select]
█████
    W
    W
    W
█████
they'll never cancel digging. you do still have to designate over and over but it's much faster than selecting the whole block and getting spammed with cancellations for every new wet/warm tile they reveal.
