Ghost blocking construction
« on: June 12, 2014, 11:48:27 am »

I had a caravan guard ghost pop up that couldnt be slabbed, so I used DFHack to remove it.  Problem is, I'm trying to build a wall where the ghost was and it keeps saying that there is a creature blocking the site.  It's definitely not the old "dumbass dwarf trying to build the wall while standing on the build site" issue.  Is there any way to force the construction to complete or clear the site completely?

Have you tried redesignating the wall? Even if it is a different creature, the bug -should- be the same, as the solution.

Yup, multiple designations and removals.  I've dumped the stones they tried to use a few times in order to make them totally rebuild it from scratch.  All does nothing.  There is an invisible ghost corpse in the way somehow.

Hmm. Spawn obsidian with dfhack liquid plugin perhaps?

Sounds like dfhack might not clear the occupied flag from the tile when removing ghosts.

Could you build the wall around the desired tile?
