Dwarves stuck on construct building
« on: August 30, 2006, 05:03:00 pm »

For some reason a lot of my dwarves are stuck on construct building jobs, and spamming path-finding failures. They keep going back and forth between my brewery and the corridor outside it. Toggling forbid passage on the brewery door seems to fix the problem temporarly.

I have a save of it.   :)

My dwarfves can't "find the path" haul a coffer to where I want it and I can't cancel the job, this causes massive spam and the inablity for my dwaves to move any other furniture, this bug  makes the game unplayable so please fix it right away!

You should be able to cancel the building placement job from [t] (then
  • ).

    For the path spam -- is it due to the building component being inaccessible to the dwarves taking the job?

That's probably it. There's three stones on the floor under an inaccessible square of the still.

I get a lot of the same problem - some dwarves endlessly complaining that they cannot find a path to build something (currently, it's a bridge and a road - things that use a lot of stone). I don't know how stone pieces got unreachable, though.

After finding it, I decided to build some craftdwarf workshops ajacent to it. However, my metalsmith which was set to process it tried to build the building... And just stood there. He wasn't set to craftdwarfing, and I'll see if it happens again (I dont have a save, and I dont have much time to play right now ):  )
