Ignored digging orders
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:55:04 pm »

Hello,
i have a problem. My miner ignores some orders to dig. Specifically: At level -6 and higher seems everything OK, at level -7 is OK one half (cca) - at "Notrh" part of this level it is OK at "Souther" part she doesn't dig. At level -8 is orders to dig someshing completly ignored. For example:

. - floor
# - normal wall
X - wall, that my miner don't dig
> - downward ramp
< - upward ramp
? - unknown place

Level -6:
#######
#.....#
#......
#.....#
#######

Level -7:
#######
#.....#
#.>....
#.....#
XXXXXXX

Level -8:
???????
?XXX???
?X<X???
?XXX???
???????

Earlier everting works OK (i have digged some walls, that couldn't be digged now). I tried to remove and place designations to dig, restart whole game... nothing helped.

Any ideas, please?

Burrows are almost certainly the problem. Make sure you extend your "inside" burrow to include new excavation. Or, since you can include undug areas in a burrow, just include the entire underground in the "inside" burrow from the getgo (which is now super easy with 3D designations) and you won't have this problem.
