Inappropriate building
« on: October 08, 2013, 08:25:39 am »
Ok, trying to solve fps issues, so I'm culling my herd of grazers (its getting out of hand)... i have an atom smasher and a pit/pond activity zone 2 Z-levels above it. I set a few animals to be crushed, but i get "Urist Cancels pit/pond Large Animal: Inappropriate building."
What am i doing wrong here, or is it a bug? The pit/pond has worked with other things

Do you have the bridge up? Maybe they think there is a wall there, not sure.

Do pits need to have hatch covers over them for dwarves to use them properly?

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

No, but they do help against cancel spam when your dwarves see a hostile down there.

Well about the hatch cover, when i put hatch covers on the pit, the dwarves would just dump the stuff ON TOP of the hatch, so it would just sit there and not go into the pit. The bridge is fine, the animals i need to 'dump' are pastured though so I'm wondering maybe they can't drag the animal out of its pasture.. I'm not sure though
