Mystery of the uncollected stones...
« on: August 28, 2011, 04:35:22 am »
So my architect builds a cobbled path, decides he does not need it after it is built.  Is turned back into boulders, which strangely enough, cannot be collected, despite being designated with 'dump' and an active garbage tip.

Any immediate thoughts as to why?  (And perhaps some not so immediate thoughts?)

Thanks for the help!

You need to press "o-r-o". (Orders, refuse, dwarves collect refuse from the outside.)

I've seen this happen underground, from time to time.

What I do to fix that scenario is to first make sure "dump" has been removed from them:  d-b-D
Then I forbid them:  d-b-f
Then I claim them: d-b-c
Then I dump them again: d-b-d

Works like a charm.
