Freezing furniture placement
« on: October 01, 2006, 08:05:00 pm »

Sometimes when I place furniture, the job is suspended because of mining clutter filling the area. In case of coffers at least, I'm unable to activate the job again. I'm simply unable to target the suspended coffer through any means, leaving a ghost job that will stay suspended forever.

You can target the building with [t] most likely.  I think [t] can look at any building, whereas [q] can only look at buildings that have menus.  This can be very confusing.

Yes, use [t] to select the building.  If you suspend, unpause, and reactivate the task, the next dwarf will successfully complete the building.  If you do it fast enough, this will be the dwarf that was sitting there in the first place.

I think this might be caused by the blocking object having an hauling job associated with it.
