[40d]"I'll just sit here and die slowly"
« on: May 15, 2009, 04:17:22 pm »

A jeweler came to my fortress. He then procedeed to just stand in a craftdwarf's shop. If I added any task, it would be immediately cancelled by him, claiming we didn't have the material. And he just does that. He stands there, complaining of thirst. He has no wounds. He is not in a strange mood or melancholic or anything. I can't seem to find the cause, so, what the hell?

Each workshop has a few tiles that act as walls. They show up as dark green when you build the workshop. Jeweler's shops have three such tiles along one side of the workshop, so it's easy to accidentally wall in the dwarf that makes the shop. Deconstruct the shop, then build it somewhere else (or provide a different access point on the edge).

Yep, I destroyed the workshop, now he's going for a drink. Still wondering how did he trap himself there, though; it had been used before.
