Multiple Ramps Result In Pathing Failure
« on: November 06, 2007, 04:26:00 pm »

I've had three games now where digging ramps down to the same Z-level in different locations has resulted in my miner dwarves being unable to figure out how to get back up to the higher level. Instead they continue do what jobs they can on the lower level until they die of thirst or hunger. Both ramps were clear of debris and obstructions.
This seems limited to ramps in different locations, however: Three ramps placed side by side (i.e. one three wide ramp) don't generate this problem, only ramps placed some distance apart.
Also, stairs don't seem to manifest this problem either.

I've had this happen. Turn them into military and station them up a few levels.
