[40d19] UNDUMPABLE(!) STONES
« on: March 23, 2010, 08:24:55 am »

I'm not sure that's a bug (maybe, it's a common feature?), but there're some undumpable stones (stones, that doesn't get dumped!) that are preventing to build workshops on them.
There's screenshot.

I can give a saved game, if needed

They may be tasked for some use (making items, building a wall, moving to a stockpile, dumping, etc) and this will stop them from being moved until that task is complete. Also this is a common problem on reclaims (tasked items from before the abandon become unusable in the reclaim). If this is a reclaim and the stones were tasked before the abandon then it is not a lost cause as forcing the stones to move will clear up the issue (water pressure or channeling).

Are the stones forbidden? Have you abandoned and reclaimed your fortress?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
