Suspended jobs never get resumed
« on: October 27, 2007, 05:19:00 am »

Hi, I'm new to the game and the forum, and sadly my first post is about a problem I've encountered that I think is probably a bug.

When jobs are suspended because there was another item in the target square (placing a throne or building a workshop, and there are stones lying on the square), they never resume, and I have no way of making them resume except to cancel the job and then create a new identical one.

I think the dwarves should be able to clear obstructions themselves, or at least check back to see if suspended jobs can be completed.

To un-suspend a task, use the t key on the object and press 's' to toggle suspension.  The reason why the builder is not removing the obstruction, is because that obstruction is claimed by someone else, and therefore no other tasks may touch it.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Does everyone understand the difference now?
