Opening Caverns = Pathing Issues?
« on: July 16, 2010, 05:00:10 pm »

I've just recently opened my caverns up, and now a lot of my dwarves just stand around and I get spammed with messages about 'could not find path'.

Is there something I need to do? Or what? It's getting annoying, cause I need to get stuff done.

What version are you using? I have not noticed this in 31.08.

31.10.

I think I might've figured it out. I uncovered layer 1 and 2, but then built a floor over layer 2, because I didn't make a path down into the cavern, but the dwarves knew they wanted the webs and what not down there. Soo, I finished digging into the second cave layer, and all of the path issues stopped, including the hunting and building ones, which I don't understand why they would be affected. =/

Edit: Never mind, still getting spammed with pathing issues.

I found that including some inaccessible webs in a burrow definition caused spamming like that.  You can turn off the web auto-collect for some peace and quiet until you figure out how to stop the spamming.

I had this problem - dwarves started spamming "could not find path" x10 constantly w/regard to collecting webs.  My theory is that if a path to something has to pass through a reachable but undiscovered section of the caverns, it doesn't prevent the web/construction/etc from being selected for a job, but it prevents the dwarf from figuring out how to reach it.
