Animal hauling not working
« on: January 14, 2013, 04:01:27 am »

I have some problems with my cages.
They are not forbidden, there are dwarfs with "No job" and animal hauling activated, I have designed both a pen (with assigned the animals in the cage) and an animal depot.
Still, they are left where they are, nobody could care less.

Checked also the orders, they are set well.

Don't mind, didn't see a tree blocking the access...

For future reference, trees don't grow on tiles that are paved over (either <C>onstructed <f>loor or Paved R<o>ads). They also don't grow on heavily transversed paths. I tend to pave my one-wide tree-supporting surfaces if they are needed pathways.

OTOH, just recently, a GCS in Cavern 1 was blocked from accessing my fort by a single tree in a 1-wide path.

I knew that, but I initially dug that room as a tree fram and only later decided to set up a poultry/egg farm as well, since hens and roosters are not grazers and trees take a lot of time to grow.
