Yanno the bug where dwarves always idle outside during a break, even if they have statues zoos and so forth?

I found the cause!

After a particularly viscious mandrill attack, I drafted everyone at once to fight, and stationed them at a speicfic point.  After un-drafting, they now idle at that spot instead of the cave entrance!

Apparently they idle around and break at wherever they are stationed militarily, which seems to default to the cave entrance!

I've confirmed this on three forts and it seems to be static and 100% effective.

Enjoy!

Hey, nice find!

[Jifodus]

Though will it work for nobles?

[Gaulgath]

Pft, who cares? Even if they do get pincushioned, you'll just get a new one anyway.

Besides, half the fun of nobles is to kill 'em

I'll test this later, if this is true this is huge. Magma furnace operators taking week long trips back and forth is kind of ridiculous when i build them expensive statue gardens and zoos right next door.

This trick only seems to work if you set the military station, save and then reload your game.  Not sure if this is just me failing to notice it before the save or a genuine effect.

Hmmm, so you say it seems you have to save, huh? I will have to try it that way, cause yeah, it didn't seem to be working for me, either.

Confirmation?
