dwarf cancels building, can't find path
« on: December 18, 2006, 11:31:00 pm »

Hi all.
I've been trying to make my first wagon-worthy road for the last hour, and it was all going well until I bridged the river. Then I found that no matter how I placed the next road piece , whichever dwarf came to try to make the road just generated the message "[dwarf name] cancels building, can't find path". There was nothing in the way, just open ground, and nothing blocking the dwarfs or their supply of stone.
Is this a bug or was I doing something wrong?

That message tends to happen when something's blocking one specific piece of stone selected for the road (a locked door, a flood pushed it onto an impassable tile, etc).  If you cancel building that portion of the road and rebuild it with different rocks, it should work okay.

Ahhhh, the mystery is solved. Thanks.
So I guess I abandoned a perfectly good fortress for nothing. Ah well, my new one's better!  :)
