Cleaning cancellation spam (33d)
« on: December 01, 2007, 10:27:00 pm »

My workers are constantly cancelling a cleaning job.

I have a moat in front of my fortress. Last winter 3 workers fell into the water and drowned when it thawed. The following winter I dug out the ice to retrieve their belongings. When I was done I locked the door so no one could go back into the moat. Now I'm getting non stop job cancellations for cleaning.

I'd like to add that I am using a modified race to play with; but I think the situation would have been the same if I were using dwarves.

I uploaded it if you want to have a look. http://rapidshare.com/files/73692509/dfcleanspam.rar.html

We need the modified raw files too, in addition to the save, if you're using a modded race.

I experienced something like this in vanilla DF 33c.  I had my miners kill a fire imp at the edge of a channel I'd dug for magma shops.  Its corpse fell back into the lava on the level below and a wall down there had a spattering of goo.  This caused cleaning cancellations for the next six months or so.

Just a matter of walls and floors generating cleaning jobs even though they are effectively outside of the fort or otherwise inaccessible.  Cleaning should check accessibility before generating the job, oughta solve the problem.
