My gem cutters have revolted. Every gem cut order I give immediately returns a 'dwarfname, Gem Cutter cancels Cut gemtype: Needs rough gemtype'.

I have over 150 rough gems; most right next to the workshops. The gems are not forbidden. The workshops do not have any linked stockpiles (via 'give'). This happens for multiple workshops. The workshops are not set to specific dwarves/skill levels. I disabled the dfhack 'workflow' plugin, and canceled all outstanding ordered, then re-created them.

Any ideas?

0.34.11 w/ dfhack 0.34.11-r5

I tend to have a lot of gem related job cancellation as the bins marked as the source of gems for cutting are often also involved in hauling jobs to pick up recently mined out raw gems, or freshly cut gems. Carefully set up stockpiles to avoid bins being taken from stockpiles that fed the workshops was my only real workaround.

I ended up deconstructing and reconstructing the workshops, which fixed the issue. Odd...

As MonkyeHead says, bins are the bane of gem cutters. I'd recommend a quantum stockpile for rough gems, otherwise haulers will constantly lock bins out from the cutters. No bins in the stockpile would work as well, but that would result in a large one. Note that I have no experience with old DF versions, though.

Have any of you guys used the seed dual stockpile technique on gems? Stockpile 1 accepts from everywhere and has no bins gives to stockpile 2 which accepts only from links and has bins. Prevents hauler related cancelations for farmers in my experience.

Yes. QS works a lot better, though.
