My military dwarves have lately been just running outside for no apparent reason. I haven't set a patrol route, the squads have no orders, we aren't under siege, there are no hostile creatures anywhere near my base. I thought they might be doing it to pick up their clothing that they left outside, but that has been dealt with and they are still doing it. They have no other labors enables.

What does their status say when they do that? Sometimes dwarves who have nothing to do like to hang out in a place they have been to recently.

[martinuzz]

yes, I've noticed that as well. Most of my civilians double as military. Even when they have no job as a civilian, they tend to walk to the place they were last ordered to move to, as a soldier, before heading to a meeting area.

[Namfuak]

I think there have been reports of dwarves trying to fight enemies that aren't there as well.

[martinuzz]

Yes, I believe that happens when a kill order isn't cancelled after the target is dead?

[Lagslayer]

I guess they mey be going back there because that was when they recieved their last order, because all my orders were cancelled when they were finished. Also, dwarf psychiatrists... we need them.

I've noted the same bug.

A workaround is to activate the squad and tell them to "move" somewhere that isn't stupid, then deactivate them.  That way, if they do this again, they go fight invisible carp in the dining room rather than invisible goblins in the place where real goblins might be.

Problem with that is the psychs will be dwarves as well.

My dwarves love to hang out in one spot outside the meeting hall: IN THE RIVER CANYON ON THE FROZEN RIVER IN MID SPRING.
